What are Sangomas?
Sangomas, the traditional Healers of South Africa, have many different social and political roles in the community: divination, healing, directing rituals, finding lost cattle, protecting warriors, counteracting witches, and narrating their tradition’s history, cosmology, and myths.
Sangomas are called to heal; through them, it is believed that ancestors from the spirit world can give instruction and advice to heal illness, social disharmony, and spiritual difficulties.
