Who are the custodians of folklore @ history? The witchdoctors???? or the Healers?? I think I would much prefer to listen to folktales and history from a village elder than a crazy witchdoctor!
Good point.
Although by western standards a village elder would be a mystic with those stories. .lol.
It'd be impossible to root witchdoctors, healers and mystics out of Africa really. They're always going to be there. We've got our own in the Carib. Obeah men and what not. Heard stories aboutpeople going to see them and ending up possesed like something out of the excorsist.
There are good ones and bad ones can't deamonize them all. The bad ones should be rooted out with the help of the good ones. Many of the ones working in the UK are bonafide, in their adverts some of them say they're part of some collective JuJu group or related to so and so popular JuJu.
Couldn't kick Credoand his family out of Africathat'd suck. Would be like the European witch hunts.
