The Witch Doctor: Traditional Healing Practices in Africa

"The Witch Doctor" by Ariyana Illness explores the vital role of traditional healers in Africa, where access to modern medical care is limited. With few doctors and nurses available, families often live far from healthcare services and cannot afford treatment or medications. As a result, many children suffer or die from preventable diseases. The narrative delves into the practices of African Sangomas, highlighting ritual dancing, drumming, costumes, and the use of potions and magic, which serve as both healing methods and avenues for personal, political, and financial gain.
