SHONA RITUAL
With special reference to the Chaminuka Cult.

The author carried out his studies in the heart of Mashonaland within a radius of 80 miles from Salisbury (Harare) where the Chaminuka Cult has its greatest influence.  He particularly focuses on how the spirit world affects the people and their traditions and cultures.  Chapter titles includes such as; The muroyi (witch), the shave (alien spirit) cult, ritual ceremonies of the tribal spirits, magombwe & mhondoro.

An excellent work for this interested in the inner workings of this culture.
