Amagqirha: Religion, Magic and Medicine in Transkei by Joan A Broster gives the story as told to Joan Broster by the amagqirha ('witchdoctors') themselves. It has not been written from any particular point of view, nor from a background of specialized training, but with a clearness of perception born from love and rapport. In their own words, with the author as their interpreter, the amagqirha describe their calling and discuss the religious, magical and medicinal aspects of their profession.
