This paper is a discussion of the role of rituals performed for the benefit of Bamileke urban dwellers in their villages of origin in the Bamileke lands in the Western Province of Cameroon. The urbar Bamileke visit their home villages frequently, often to take part in these rituals, which are believed to be effective only when performed in the villages. This idea, that these rituals require a mystical force to be found only in villages, is a new one, and was developed in urban communities. Thus, the village is ar imagined "locality" that is opposed to the city in the conception of urban dwellers, and village rituals are occasions to visually confirm this conception. Kob (the ritual for purifying 'Bad Death'), Fog (the ritual for determining which widow of a dead man may have been responsible for his death), and Ngu (the ritual for uncovering sorcery) were examined.
