Abstract
The article examines data on the summer calendrical rite complexes where ritual inspections of territories have played a major role. Collective visiting of villages, with priests participating, and consecrating of fields and pastures were crucial to the collective life of Komi villages. They were simultaneously directed at the future harvest, the health of the cattle, and the well-being of the participants. Local versions reveal several types of organization for a new sacralized space-time integral to economic activities. Komi youths' summer games are also analyzed, and related to calendrical rituals that suggest a spatial/temporal recoding of the village cosmos.
