Hokey-Pokey / Hokey-Cokey

2058.jpg

In 5.18 Intervention, Giles helped Buffy find out what’s more to being a slayer by taking her to the desert to meet a spiritual guide. He first had to do a ritual to temporarily transfer his guardianship of her to the guide:

Giles: “I jump out of the circle and then jump back in it, and then, um … I shake my gourd.”
Buffy: “I know this ritual! The ancient shamans were next called upon to do the hokey-pokey and turn themselves around.”

The Hokey-Pokey (or Hokey-Cokey as it is known in Britain) is a children’s song with a corresponding dance.
