Experiencing Ritual: A New Interpretation of African Healing - Paperback

by Edith Turner (Author), William Blodgett (With), Singleton Kahona (With)

Experiencing Ritual is Edith Turner's account of how she sighted a spirit form while participating in the Ihamba ritual of the Ndembu. Through her analysis, she presents a view not common in anthropological writings--the view of millions of Africans--that ritual is the harnessing of spiritual power.
