During their visit to the mountain, the Maasai carry a sacrifice, which is a young ewe of flawless condition, having not reproduced before. They leave the sheep in a specific area, which is a dry water hole on the mountain. Here, they chant and sing songs of praise to their god until late into the night. Upon waking up the next morning, the sheep would have vanished, leaving no trace behind. The Maasai who make these sacrifices are not allowed to eat until they leave the mountain. However, they claim to feel full and even belch meat and milk when they leave.
The Maasai believe that the mountain god communicates with them through his presence and mysterious voices, which they hear but cannot see. They are of the opinion that only good-hearted people visit the mountain, and bad people, such as those who practice witchcraft, fear the god's wrath and do not dare to go there. The elders of the community state that no such incident of a bad person dying due to the god's anger has occurred as they do not dare to visit the mountain.
