Ceremony/end

Ceremony seems to end with Tayo being more or less healed from the demons, from evasion in alcohol and from his "friends". I found the description very vivid and difficult to read for the violence and description of being constantly drunk, for example Harvey and Elmo.

A necessary part of the ceremony that is part of Tayo's healing process seems to be the love for the woman he meets. I could not help wonder at times, if this was a fictitious meeting and love relationship or was it real. The writing raises the question in my opinion, at least when I do read it. As the lines between "reality" and imagination and past events are blurred.

I find it difficult to read that Tayo meets this woman and nearly immediately an intimate relationship arises...

It seems that part of the ceremony is linked with healing plants/herbs, the earth and of course finding the cattle.

Anyone would have suggestions about the meaning of finding the cattle...besides the fact that Tayo felt that it was his duty, but it seems to have more symbolic meaning linked with his healing.
