Words about the female shaman. When a woman is a shaman, all her spirits are female, since she is a Yanomami woman. She is a woman, but her spirit is very strong. Even though she is a woman, she is very strong and also goes to war against other xapiri spirits. She has her spirits Koimari, Õkãrimari, and Omõari. Even though she is a woman, that is how she is when she is a shaman.
