[ EN ] The author presents here two places of phallic cult he has discovered in the region of Fianarantsoa. The discovery of physical vestiges on the place (stone monuments-deposits of ritual materials) is a proof of the ancient character of the cult still practiced until the present time. The first sanctuary is consecrated to a legendary personage by the name of Rafilokana or Rafirokana who had been famous for his skills as a great seducer and his sexual performances. A “vatolahy” shaped like a male organ stands on the site. Conversely, the second sanctuary bears the name of a woman : Ralavao. This time, as a physical evidence of the ritual, one can see a “tatao” that is a heap of stones piled up the form of a cone. In both cases, the purpose of the custom consists in bringing to the base of the monument pieces of wood shaped like a penis, and in offering prayers in order to have an organ of the same size as the model presented and very often well developed.
[ MLA ] Ny tian’ny mpanoratra aseho eto dia toerana roa any amin’ny faritr’i Fianarantsoa izay nahitany fomba fangataham-pitahiana amin’ny razana ary fomba mikasika ny filahiana. Ny toe-javatra hita maso teny an-toerana toy ny tsangambato sy ireo zavatra fampiasa amin’ny fangataham-pitahiana toy izao dia porofo manambara fa efa tranainy tokoa izany fomba amam-panao izany ary mbola misy manao hatramin’izao fotoana izao. Natokana ho an’ny lehilahy iray, dia Rafilokana na Rafirokana ny iray voalohany amin’ireo toerana ireo ary ahitana vatolahy mitovy endrika taovam-pananahan-dehilahy. Voalaza fa lehilahy nalaza io olona io tamin’ny fahaizana mandambolambo ny vehivavy sy ny zava-bitany amin’izany. Ny toerana faharoa kosa dia mitondra ny anarand-Ralavao, izay vehivavy fantatry ny maro tamin’ny hatsaran-tarehiny sy ny fitiavany ny lehilahy sakaizany. Vato nangonina natao tatao kosa no hita amin’io toerana io. Ny fomba fanao rehefa mangata-pitahiana amin’ny toerana toy itony dia mitondra tapa-kazo misary taovam-pananahan-dehilahy araka izay endrika tiany nananana ho azy.
