East Africa, Kenya, Machakos Traditional Medicine and Witchcraft, 1995

Cleansing ceremony with a Diviner in a rural village hut. Traditional Medicine and Witchcraft are very intertwined in Akamba, or Kamba, culture. Witchcraft (also called witchery or spellcraft) broadly means the practice of, and belief in, magical skills and abilities that are able to be exercised individually, by designated social groups, or by persons with the necessary esoteric secret knowledge.
