"A girl/group of children, wearing fresh leaves and small branches knitted skirts, sing and dance, stopping at every house, where the hosts throw fresh water on them. Children are accompanied by the village people, who dance and shout on the music. This is a ritual of rain invocation during the severe drought times." - mkz

Sirbistan'da, Makedonya'da falan da varmis bu olay meger. Adi baska (Dodole) ama bussuru benzerlik var (0:28'deki ve sondaki cigirtiya benzer cigrislar var mesela, yapraktan etek olayi da varmis). Sirbistan'dan modernli cistakli: http://www.youtube.com/watch... - ""Dodole" songs are typical ritual songs used to perform during summer dry seasons. Young girls masked themselves with branches and leaves (as symbol of vegetation exuberance).They used to visit village houses and perform "dodole" ritual (singing "dodole" songs and dancing ritual dance).As respond to a ritual performance, the master of the house would come out from house and throw some water on dancers, which is ancient way of invoking the spirits of rain. "Dodole" ritual originates from pre-Christian times and represents the oldest Slavic tradition." - mkz

"That summer was particularly dry so the people in my grandma’s village decided it was time to call the goddess of rain. A pagan incantation, an heresy if you want, but even the priest of the village believed . . . It was in incredible experience, one of the dearest memories from my childhood and sure one of the most extraordinary, unbelievable, incredible. Do you know why? Because it did rain a heavy rain that evening. It rained a storm, it poured and I remember hearing joyful laughters in the rain, happy cheers, but in the end… the people were all thanking God for the rain. The rain goddess was forgotten…" - http://www.rounite.com/2008... - mkz
