Doesn’t she Look like a Witch?



Morocco. High Atlas Mountains. This AÏt Morhrad Berber woman’s fire flamed after she put some straw on it. The flames were to burn the hair of a black goat’s head resting between the fire’s stones. This done, she would have access to the meat underneath.

Maroc. Haut Atlas marocain. Cette femme berbère de la tribu AÏt Morhrad vient de jeter de la paille sur son feu pour brûler les poils de la tête de chèvre noire entre les pierres du feu et ainsi avoir accès a sa viande. Ne diriez-vous pas que la flamme donne à cette brave femme un air de sorcière ?
