Among these there is S'imbrusciadura, a thaumaturgical ritual or the liberation of evil typical of the Campidano area of Cagliari, in fact very frequently in this area of the island extraordinary events occurred that required the help of women with therapeutic powers. . In the ritual a young woman struck by a big fright, represented by a figure representing evil, is healed by two healers called "brusciasa", who perform the healing by reciting invocative prayers (brebus) and performing the ritual de S'affumentu or smoking over the body of the unfortunate. Healing the unfortunate woman was then a reason to celebrate all together.

And then the ritual of argia, a sort of liberation from evil, in which a sort of spider, with its sting, causes the unfortunate person to feel very unwell, which was interpreted as a state of possession. To free the possessed from evil, the marital status of the argia was identified, that is, whether she was a widow, married or single, through dances and songs. Also in this case, once the evil was defeated, it was a great celebration.
