In this photo taken October 12, 2019, a man with chewing tobacco dripping from his mouth goes into a trance as a grandfather spirit known as a “Chamarrero” is believed to enter his body during an annual gathering of followers of indigenous goddess Maria Lionza on Sorte Mountain in Venezuela's Yaracuy state. Those immersed in the old tradition say it puts them in a trance that allows them to channel spirits and escape injury from otherwise dangerous feats. (Photo by Ariana Cubillos/AP Photo)
