THE SHAMAN
Dreams, Prophecies, and Mysteries
The book "Zulu Shaman: Dreams, Prophecies, and Mysteries" by a practicing Zulu shaman from Pretoria, South Africa, gives insight into the complex world of Zulu tribal cosmology and traditions, and shares the author's personal experiences as a shaman healer. The book includes stories of Zulu ancestors, creation myths, and relations with extraterrestrial beings, as well as previously guarded secrets of Zulu tribal healing and spiritual practices. The author explains that a sangoma's diagnosis and remedies for illness or disruption of harmony involve removing evil spirits, propitiating offended nature spirits, and restoring good breathing through the use of herbs, massage, and occasionally animal sacrifices. The author believes that sangomas are the guardians of their tribes and ancestral wisdom, and hopes to preserve this knowledge and promote peace and harmony within the community.
