It was in existence before the man was horn, joins him at his birth and departs at his death.

The Ferwer keeps up a war with the Diws or evil spirits, and is the element of man's preservation in life.

The moment he departs, the body returns to its original elements.

After death he becomes immortal if he has done well, but if his deeds have been evil he is cast into hell.

It is right to call upon the Ferwer and entreat his help.
