This normally happens when the person comes from far away. A family member must pour them a cup and say words similair to the ones above about how we are suppose to have asked them at home Then the Kaav Xwm will proceed with the words in this next phrase However today people are more lenient and will not mind this It is the responsibility of the family to say this to the Kaav Xwm, then the Kaav Xwm will be task to say this to the rest of the people in the rest of the positions Except for the Coj Xai, the family is responsible for everything related to the Coj Xai The additional words are ... tas peb tsev xyom cuab tes xaab tau txuj zoo los tsi tau txuj zoo, peb ( name of decensed ) noj tsi qaab noj tsi zoo, luas tas zej zog txawm dlaav los tub txiv tub khaiv los txawm nqaim Do we say this part? yuav vaam koj lub dlaag lub zug, vaam koj kev txawj kev paub kev ntse tuaj coj noj coj haus tuaj nthe saib nthe qeg tuaj rheg ib puas tsaav yaam tsev xyob cuab maub plaub muab ntug muab saiv muab lug, muab kev cov nyom le caag los yuav vaam koj tuaj nrug cheem nrug has los koj ua kaav xwm koj ua sab luj, tshuav peb xyom cuab, muab ab tsi los ntsug peb thaam es yuav muab koj laub moog txuj tswv kev los, thov koj ua sab ntev es koj xob tso peb tseg koj paab peb Verse The Kaab Xwm says this part to the rest of the people with positions tas nub nua ( name of decensed ) noj tsi qaab noj tsi zoo es peb vaam koj moog ua tug qhaub ke tuaj qha nwg kaab moog cuag puj kev moog cuag yawm es yuav muab koj laub moog txuj tswv kev los thov koj ua sab ntev es koj paab peb nub nua koj tuaj ua es teb miv tub miv nyuas tug twg tsi paub taab yog has lug sab lug qeg rua koj los koj xob tu sab koj xob moog tsev yog leej twg has lug sab lug qeg tua koj nua los tshuav kuv kaav xwm, es muab ab tsi los koj has rua kuv muab ab tsi los koj maab lug saib lug khu, es yog kuv khu tsi tau lawv los kuv tso kev koj le moog tsev Verse

The family of the deceased must also supply a matching cow to receive them. The family also must have a feast table for these people to eat and drink. At the table, you give them the head and one arm of your animal to them along with the rop that tied the animal and some money. You dont do this for a pig. For a pig you simply write it down and thank the person there when the give it to you. Just like the nyaj tsaab ntuj.

Some situations when you would do this . . . 1. Someone is really sick and you think something is wrong. 2. You have a really really bad dream and think it may bring bad luck or its telling you something really bad is about to happen 3. Its just been a very long time and you or your family have just had a string of bad luck, or have had many many bad situations You dont normally need any animals or do a full ritual table with food and drinks for this type of Neeb The ritual that is perfomed to cure spiritual illnesses, among other things. Some situations where this ritual is performed. 1. The Shaman Ua Neeb saib and found something that needs to be corrected. 2.

The shaman will normally tell you what is needed, either a pig/cow/goat/etc.. as well as other needed items You must also setup a table at the end of the event to thank the Shaman and those who came to aid in completing this ritual. A ritual in which the head of the household performs to call back all the spirits of his household to gather all family members back home. This should include all his sons and the wife along with their children. Any grand sons and great grand sons and son on. As well as all his unmarried daughters. This should not include any daughters who are offcially married. When a daughter is officually married they are seen as having spiritual claimed by their husbands family. This is also true for grand daughter as well and so on. Technically all the family members should be there at the ritual, but now days if someone absolutely can not make it. The person is many times substituted with his or her shirt. The items needed for this ritual is usually one hen and one roster (Perferrably one that has started to crow), one egg and one pig. However the shaman may change or need other items The two chickens and egg is used to hu plig for the family, the pig is used to Kaab the family together You must also setup a table at the end of the event to thank the Shaman and those who came to aid in completing this ritual. This ritual is usually performed when a spirit is detected in your house and must be rid of it. The term used when something like this is found is called muaj cua or tsev tsaus Most of the time the spirit is the cause of some illness to someone who lives in the house. The shaman will perform the ritual in which he will capture the spirit and place it into the materials you have gathered . The materials are pob zeb and pob caa During the ritual you will be the one to lock the spirite into the materials and muab teem tom lub hauv taag (This location is under the xwm kaab) This process is called teem cua He will then come back to perform the ritual which gets rid of the ritual Once the shaman has teem cua and the sick person gets well, you should perform this ritual as soon as possible. Because once you teem tug cua you dont want anyone touching it. If for example some person accidental moved the rock, the person who was sick has been known to just past away. This is because the spirit has broken free and it is angrier then before thus will probably cause more damage to the family, especially to the one it effected the first time. Items that are needed for this neeb are 1. moov pas 2. One Dog dlev or Goat tshis 3. Some shamans may require a sword (black stripped) 3.

Ua Neeb Faab Nyeej A shaman will say a person muaj nyeej if the person consistantly keeps on getting sick month after month, year after year. The person gets better but a few days, months later the person is sick again. Normally when a shaman performs the ritual to fithe nyeej the also perform the ritual to khu Items that are needed for this neeb are 1. one bucket of water ( How big is the bucket ?) 2. pig must be small and live 3. two ladders hand made of wood, one used outside and one used inside. Some shamans want one that is 7 steps and one 9 steps, Others may want one that is 6 steps and one that is 7 steps. In the old days these ladders needed to be strong enough to step on. But today we make a very miniture version about the size of your hand to full fill the requirement. When the ritual begins the ladder with the most steps start outside and the shorter one is inside, later this is switched and the shorter one is removed from the ritual completely. When the ritual is to the point where the person steps over the ladder the pigs head is turned toward the outside, when the shaman nthe, then you must cut the pig from the mid section and cut the pig in half all the way through. Then you Sound In the old days after the pig is cut in half the Sound 6. Ua Neeb Tswm Txhoj A person has this because they keep getting sick and a shaman ua neeb saib and found that the person have a txhoj. The meaing behind txhoj is when someones spirit has found a grave hole and their spirit is caught there or is resting there. Thus causing them to continuously get sick. You must perform this ritual in order to release their spirit in order for the person to get well again. When you ua neeb tswm txhoj you must also ua neeb khu before you can tswm txhoj. Items that are needed for this neeb are 1. two maj zeeg Paper Person ? 2. Pig for the ua neeb khu part 3.

If you are asked to ntaus kuam you will go around the yard and flip the cow horns till a spot leeg meaning they are facing opposite sides or one is flipped facing up and one is facing down. If both horns are either both facing down or facing up, it means its the wrong spot Both sides facing down means, chim tsua koj Both side facing up means luag koj One side facing up and one side facing down means it excepts or is correct. Once you have found the spot you will then dig a triangle hole (mini grave), then you will put the maj zeeg into this hole. When the shaman reaches a specific part of the neeb ritual you will raise the maj zeeg from the hole. Then you will burn some paper to the persons Qhua neeb Qhua Yaig. Next you take the 2nd maj zeeg and place it into the hole. Basically putting a dummy to replace of the person you raised. Once the shaman reaches a special part of the ritual you will use the rock to press down on the maj zeeg and hole then fill it back up with dirt. Other Notes . . . . Some shamans perform the neeb khu with tswm txhoj and faab nyeej all together. Some will perform the neeb khu with only the tswm txhoj Or neeb khu with only faab nyeej. 7.

\healing\txav_npua_txiv_neeb.php? Do you cut all animals like this if they are used during the ceremony. For example if that day they did serveral neeb using a pig and a lamb. Are you suppose to cut all the animals this way to give the txiv neeb ? For our vang family, our shamans dont require the piece of meat to be the right or left side. They do want the tail to by put into the mouth. And the number of ribs do not matter. As long as the side is nicely cut in a straight line. So you just need to cut the head with a leg and side of the pig along with the tail. To give to the Shaman. If you dont know the Shaman always ask You should always ask before cutting because ..... Some Shamans want only the right or left side of the pig. They want or dont want the tail to be put inside the mouth. Some want all the ribs except the last 3 bottom ribs Some want only the top 3 ribs with the head and leg

\household\adultname.phpAdult Naming Day - dlaws npe laug preparation, items needed After the feast table is ready thov hu npe laug foom koob moov toast cups (cawv) Additional Information The process of choosing a name When a male has his first child, he is giving an adult name. Normally the name is just a one phrase word added to his existing name. In some cases he may be given a completely different name. Often practiced in the past is to give the person their grandfathers name Not very often, but sometimes even if a person does not have any children yet, they are given an adult name anyways. But in this case there is usually no feast. For example I have an Anunt and uncle who are having a hard time having children one of my older uncle decided to give the son in law a Adult name in hopes that they have a child. You should prepare a feast with the usual items. At the very least you should have a pig. tsaj plaub txhais teg taw You should ask the husband and wife of everyone you wish to sit at the table to have a sit, they should sit next to each other. Because you will be asking both of the to call and use the new name. If the persons spouse did not come, its ok to just seat the one individual. 1.You pour the beer for both of the, lift the beer for both ? then you move onto the next phase You will ask the entire group to help select an adult name for the person. thov xaiv npe laug nub nua has rua nam hab txiv rua nam tais yawm txiv hab rua taag nrho tej kev neej kev tsaav kev txiv kev laug tej nom tej tswv, mej suav dlawg tuaj lawm tes yuav vaam mej ntsug saiv ib lub npe laug rua (persons name) ask them to drink their beer, Is this thov so do you npe? Normally only the son whos getting named bow (pes), but others can help him as well(best for others to help) After this is said, routinely the group will refer the naming to the father and mother in law. The father and mother in law will then ask the son in law and their daughter if they have chosen and name or if there is one they like. A name is chosen thov hu npe laug 2.pour beer again The following phrase is what is said to the people at the feast table, asking them to help call the person their new name When you say this to them you normally what to ask the person and their spouse You also want to bow to each person (pes), since you thov them Note : When you are saying these words and addressing the people at the table remember to address them by their relationship to the person who is receiving there adult name and not what their actually names. For example Mom and dad, uncle and aunt, grand father and grand mother etc..

When you have your child and they are consistantly sick or if they keep crying it is believed that it is because of these two spirits (history and description in 17th Meeting - 06/23/2019, pauj nam nkawm txiv xaa) You are also suppose to perform this ritual when your child is ones year old and you do the ceremony to receive your adult name, and Hu plig for your child. The process 1. Hu Plig 2. pauj nam nkawm txiv xaav These two rituals are their own indidual item with seperate plates and items. Dont mithe two. 3. Then you can also Xaiv Npe during the same event In the olden days Once you have a child you must hu plig and pauj nam nkawm txiv xaa within 3 days of your childs birth. Then exactly within one year you must hu plig again. 1 roster, (must be a roster) 4 cups of alcohol 1 Tawb xyaab lwj also called Tawb muag lom 4 little square money papter, plaub swm ntawv 4 paper money cutted to pattern, plaub plooj xov txheej 4 rice patties, plaub lub yeej khum ceej khum bring all your items to the door and hu nam nkauj txiv xaa (with Live Chicken) Then you kill the chicken and proceed to the next step which is to pauj Then you call them to leeg Then you cob to them Then you burn the incense and paper money to them verse Main Point Ntau Kuam Need to ask for more details on completing this process If you are a txiv neeb and you have a child or and grandchild and they will live your you. You must ua thaaj neeb nqug qhua. (explained in 17th Meeting - 06/23/2019, thaaj neeb nqug qhua) Sometimes when a child is for example always sad, sick, edgy. A shaman my say it is because of nam nkawm txiv xaa looj koov. Meaning the two spirits may have come back to check up on the child and touched him/her because you as the parent may have been to harsh to the child. In this case you will need to preform the ritual above (same as pauj), but this time to Pauj leeg txhug. (explained in 17th Meeting - 06/23/2019, Nam Nkawm Txiv Xaa Looj Koov)

Each wedding I attended has been a bit different from the previous. When receiving the cigarettes This is called nruab yeeb When the txiv tuam mej koob hands you the cigarette you say the following phrase. When you say this you put your hands together and wave forward like you would ua tsaug, BUT you dont wave to the person or to the front of you. You want to wave to the side. Siv txhaj o hand wave As the person in the txum mej koob position you should also nruab yeeb back to them (What do you say?) The very first table is just for eating, before the actual wedding begins. When the table is set you call everyone to come eat especially all the in-laws (Qhua). Ask them who else came and invite them as well. Sitting Usually the Txum Mej will be seated between the Tuam Mej and qhua vauv. I have seen where the Txum Mej is seated across the table opposite the Tuam Mej. See the sections on sitting for more details ? You say nce tsum (this is after everyone eats and they reset the table to drink) What is this?) beer types (xeej cawv) Two people are asked to sit at the front of the table to regulate the types of beer cups that will be drank (chi cawv) In some cases, two people are not asked to sit and regulate the cups. So as the txum mej you will be the one to decide which cups to drink See the section on wedding beer types for more details Before you drink each xeej cawv, ua tsaug first. You do this when the xeej cawv reaches you.

They will respect-bow to each person in the daughters family, all the daughters grand parents, including 2 and 4 grandfathers. Then the general family (terms that cover a group of family members, details below), the txum mej and tuam mej will be standing next to them and the tuam mej will tell them who to respect-bow to. In some cases the tuam mej will pour two beers and ask the txem mej to preform this part for the specific family members. He will also then give the txem mej the umbrella In my situation the tuam mej had the two respect-bow to all the general family first then pour two beers and ask me to do it for the specific family members. Its the txum mejs job to have them respect-bow to the tuam mej koob, phis laaj, ris nraa and nam txhais ntsuab You dont do this for the qhua vauv and you ask the phi laaj to not bow when you do it for the phis laaj same explaination xyuam lub lis Explained general family terms If the tuam mej forget anyone the txum mej should remind him nrug ib nroom nug tij xyuam lub lis nrug ib nroom puj laug yawm laug xyuam lub lis nrug ib nroom nam ntxawm txiv ntxawm xyuam lub lis nrug ib nroom puj nyaaj txiv kwj yij xyuam lub lis nrug tej kwv tij kwv npawg xyuam lub lis nrug taag nrhog ib nroom kwv tij neej tsaa kaw tuaj saib tshoob saib kug xyuam lub lis all My Notes When its time to go, you have to pour 4 cup beers.

The daughters family is suppose to also set one more table to eat before the in-laws go, but if you dont you should pour two beers and ask for forgiveness and understanding that we are not going to set the last table.

You will need to perform this step before allowing the new person into your house. You can use 1 incense (ib tug xyaab), but its best to use a hen. Lwm defined from class session : We do this to so that no bad spirits or bad luck or spirits of the new brides side of the family follow her into the husbands house. To block these items from coming along with her We also do this so the new couple can start a good life togther by blessing them and giving them luck Explained in Hmong We use a hen because it is believed that it has the power to block these bad things (mentioned above). We use the incense as it is belived the words you say while burning the incense will happen as it is being said. We use a Hen instead of a Roster as our elders believe using a hen creates a better life for the husband and wife If your using the incense (xyaab) make sure it is lite. The important thing is the burning fume (paa nchu) that the incense gives off. Have the couple stand side by side just outside the front door facing the front door. The husband should be on the right side and the wife on the left. Based on your postion facing them from inside the house. To Add reference from 04/03/2022 meeting With the hen you will say the following while using the hen to go around the body from the top of their head to their feet.
