Extract

When a person is ill he will go to the diviner and ask him: ‘What has made me ill?’ The diviner takes his cup, rubs it on a stone, and when it is stopped in a certain place he will say: ‘Indeed the sorcerers have bewitched you, go to the doctor and ask him for medicine.’ When the doctor has prepared the medicines, he tells the man: ‘I have settled the matter, you will no longer be ill, nobody is able to bewitch either you or your wife or your children.’
