Abstract
Sangadzhi says that some Kalmyk rituals involve rites that are similar to exorcism performed in Christianity. There are also secret rituals that should not be even talked about or mentioned. For example, it is forbidden to video or photo-record the ritual of amnya dolig (substitution rituals). Only knowledgeable people can perform these rituals. If such rituals are performed in the wrong way, the repercussions for the performers could be very harsh.
