These spirits work at the town, family, predecessor, and sub- tribe level, alongside detestable spirits that cause ailment and can occupy town limits, mountains, water, tigers, and the timberland. A trademark highlight of a Santal town is a consecrated woods (known as the Jahe or "Santal Santhal") on the edge of the town where numerous spirits live and where a progression of yearly celebrations occur.
