Nyangas are the herbalists but sangomas have jumped on that bandwagon too. Ancestral spirits talk to them all right. The only thing is they are not really the spirits of their ancestors. They are old spirits who knew their ancestors and can imitate them. They give power and healing at a great price. Any long term study of a Sangoma's patients will reveal that they do not end up healthy, wealthy and happy.<BR/><BR/>My advice, stay well away from these guys and continue to expose them for what they are!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3659830892289620347.post-77934281545646011872008-04-04T04:38:00.000-07:002008-04-04T04:38:00.000-07:00:-)Well said!!!

Sangomas are part of this world, and they exist in different ways in different countries and cultures. They use different symbols and expressions based on their cultural experiences. At the end of the day, every human being is either going to work for 'good' or 'eveil'; whether they are a sangoma or a lawyer, or a teacher etc.<BR/><BR/>Sangomas have different levels of knowledge, experiences etc, and so they will not all practice in the same manner, nor will their practices have the same levels or results. No sangoma is God, therefore, no sangoma can heal all illnesses or provide solutions to everyhting. Sangomas are human, therefore, they are not perfect. What cannot be disputed is that they can access information and experiences which others cannot. Sangomas are a threat to those who view knowledge selectively and are afraid of things that they can have no power over.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
