Description

Explore the deep cultural traditions of West and North Africa with Ban of the Bori. Published by Routledge as part of the Library of African Study, this work examines the Bori, which are believed by local populations to be spirits responsible for various human illnesses. This study provides a detailed look at how these spirits are propitiated through specific offerings and sacrifices within designated temple rooms. Readers gain insight into the rites and dances performed by the Masu-Bori sect, where worshippers experience temporary possession by these spirits. This book serves as a significant resource for those interested in the anthropology and sociology of African spiritual practices and the role of spirit-dancing in regional belief systems.
