Hokey-Pokey / Hokey-Cokey

Hokey

In 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 said of his ritual, “I jump out of the circle and then jump back in it, and then, um … I shake my gourd.” Buffy replied, “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.
