ABSTRACT
Two kalimais described are located at Camp de Masque near the small town of Bel-air. The first Kalimai Verger is a symbol that shows three levels of social organization – work, family relations and political emergence – by referring to the three deities Bramha, Hanuman and Dhi. The transformation from social to political is based on the ideology of the four ages of life – karma – which is a principle of “reincarnation of the person in a life corresponding to our acts.” The practice of popular cults/worship is contained in a moral necessity of sharing.
The second is the Kalimai of P., and its transformation highlights the opportunistic strategies of a psychic-healer in the village of Camp de Masque.
