My condolences goes to her paternal whanau. This is a very sensitive issue indeed.Everyone has their own way of dealing with things are Ranginui Walker is right, whatever one practices of a ritual, for somthing to be taken off a person. Is to first of things had been taken and does not belong to you and you felt sick. Personally you would return the statue to the owner to whom it belong too and apologise for the action to clear yourself. That is cleansing within itself.I felt the other people who was involved with this water ritual obviously went overboard and infact took the matter in their own hands it is a great loss Janet Moses I dont think she was weak at all, its just a tragedy that she let others think for her when you believe in God and ask for help he will give it, before you ask people.My heart goes out to eh paternal whanau.People make mistakes but I hope that all people will learn from them too.
