The shaman is the master of ceremonies, the person who plays the decisive role in the ceremony. According to the Pu Peo people's concept, the shaman must be the head of the family, only the head of the family has enough authority and voice to preside over the ceremony. In addition, the shaman is also a person with a deep understanding of ethnic culture and knows well about the ancestors of his ethnic clans.

The shaman's costume is the national costume of Pu Peo men: a black tunic, a pink scarf wrapped from the shoulders to the waist (the scarf helps distinguish the Pu Peo from people of other ethnic groups such as the Nung or Han).

The main shaman is Mr. Cung Chan Trang (born in 1960), currently the Party Secretary of Chung Trai village, and the assistant shaman is folk artist Trang Min Ho (born in 1965) - Head of the residential area front committee. They are among the few Pu Peo people who have a thorough understanding of knowledge related to worship and rituals. Most of the important rituals of the Pu Peo people are performed by Mr. Cung Chan Trang and Mr. Trang Min Ho.

The prayers used in the ceremony were composed in ancient Pu Péo script and passed down through many generations through word of mouth. Therefore, there are many different versions of the prayer. According to Mr. Cung Chan Trang, the main content of the prayer expresses the wishes of the Pu Péo people for favorable weather, bountiful crops, and the safety and health of their descendants. In addition, the prayer also shows the affection and careful preparation of the people when inviting the gods and ancestors to enjoy the offerings. Depending on the circumstances of each year, the person making the prayer will compose more, sending more thoughts to the prayer to the gods.

The prayer is transcribed based on the pronunciation converted to the Latin alphabet (based on the handwritten transcription of Mr. Cung Chan Trang - Party Secretary of Chung Trai village, shaman of the 2024 Forest God Worship Ceremony)

- Nine bamboo trees: Nine bamboo trees with full shoots and branches, lush and green, were chosen as the altar, set up between two large trees in the village, facing the forest gate.
- Bamboo basket
- Five small bowls
- Four cups
- A pair of rooster and hen
- A goat
- A white (or red) thread
- A bottle of wine
- A little incense, gold coins
- A little cooked rice and a boiled egg: According to the Pu Peo people's preparation, rice and eggs are placed on the altar and under a bamboo tray.
+ On the altar, rice is divided into 10 small balls, shaped into squares, and arranged in a row. On each ball of rice, the Pu Peo people tear off a few small pieces of egg white, symbolizing “meat”, called “ten rice, ten meat”.
+ Under the bamboo tray, rice and eggs are prepared in the same way, in turn: a row of 10 pieces of rice (representing the god of each hill, mountain and the ancestors of each Pu Péo family); a row of 8 pieces of rice, representing (hill god, mountain god, river god, stream god, ...), called "eight rice, eight meat"; a row of 7 pieces of rice, called "seven rice, seven meat" and a row of 5 pieces of rice, called "five rice, five meat" (representing the gods who govern the affairs of heaven and earth). In addition, above the rows there is a large handful of rice (representing the great god who governs all the gods).

Before the ceremony, the shaman and the Pu Peo people burn incense at the shrine - where all the gods in their culture are worshiped, asking for permission from the gods to start the ceremony. In 2024, the shrine of Chung Trai village, Pho La commune, Dong Van district, Ha Giang province will be the main place for the ceremony, and the yard of the Chung Trai village community house, Pho La commune, Dong Van district, Ha Giang province will be the place to organize the festival, activities, and traditional games.

The location of the ceremony may be different each year, but the direction of the ceremony must always face the forest gate, because the forest is a sacred place, the soul of the ceremony. In 2024, the ceremony will be held in the Temple yard, where there are two large trees, facing the forest gate.

The ceremony begins when the shaman reads the rice offering to invite the forest god and other gods and ancestors to receive the offerings. The ceremony lasts about 1 hour to 1 hour and 30 minutes, consisting of five offerings (3 live offerings, 2 cooked offerings), with a break between each offering for people to prepare the offerings.

The offerings in the living offering ceremony include a goat, a pair of roosters and hens, rice and "meat".
- Offering rice and meat:
+ Two rows of "ten rice and ten meat": Invite the gods and ancestors of the family to attend the ceremony, ask for blessings for descendants to have many good things and be successful in business.
+ "Eight rice, eight meat" line: Ask the gods to help contact and invite the gods and ancestors whose names the people do not know to attend the ceremony
+ The "seven rice, seven meat" and "five rice, five meat" items: Ask the gods and ancestors of the family to bless favorable weather, good crops, and favorable livestock raising.
- Offering a live goat to invite the god to witness the ceremony, sending the goat to the god to graze and bless the villagers from being harmed by evil spirits, and bless crops and livestock from being destroyed by disease.
- Offering a pair of roosters and hens to thank heaven and earth and the gods for blessing the villagers with health, luck, good crops, and favorable livestock raising, and asking the gods to protect them for the coming season.

The goat and the pair of roosters were bled and offered with four cups of fragrant wine.

The goat and the pair of roosters are slaughtered, their hands, feet, and mouths cleaned, and then brought up for worship.

Offer a pair of boiled chickens with cooked gizzards and intestines to invite the gods and ancestors to come and eat.

Offering boiled goat entrails (intestines, heart, liver, lungs) to invite the gods to eat first, then the people to eat. After that, the villagers use the ceremonial goat to cook thang co and eat together.

The last offering is to deliver rice to the gods. After inviting the gods and ancestors back, the shaman delivers the full "10 rice and 10 meat" on the altar to the great gods who manage the gods below, asking the gods and ancestors to bless and protect the villagers to be safe and lucky. Wherever the rice is delivered, the shaman prepares the rice.

After the ceremony, the shaman weaves bamboo strips, forming them into a shape like a net, placing the chicken blood and goat blood mixed together, arranging them in two rows on both sides, one row of 9 sections, one row of 8 sections symbolizing "9 raw meats", "8 fresh meats" to filter out bad luck, driving away "unclean" gods (the homeless dead or gods of natural disasters such as storms, floods, landslides) from the village. The 4 sections above mean asking the gods to take care of it, if the villagers have invited too few gods or ancestors, they can ask the gods to take care of it, divide the portion to make up and take the bad luck away.

Finally, the shaman asks the gods to predict the coming harvest by looking at the chicken bones. If there are four good holes on the leg bones of the ceremonial chicken and thorns can be stuck straight up, it means that next year the villagers will have a favorable farming year and a bountiful harvest.
