Hello,
I was sent an interresting video about a traditional music and dance used in Italy to heal from epilepsy/possession.
What called my attention me in this dance is that it looks very... Celtic! And the music sounds Celtic too :

And this old documentary explains that this dance has pagan origins, it's a survivance :

The symbolism of the spider bite that disturbs the soul is interresting and much more ideas about how ancient people think can be viewed in this documentary. Of course the documentary is very catholic-oriented but still interresting if one avoid the "superstition" etiquette. It is in Italian with English subtitles.
Hope you enjoy the music :)
