Zulu Thought-Patterns and Symbolism by Axel-Ivar Berglund is an ethnographic classic that describes and analyses the ritual cycle celebrated by Zulu kinship groups as understood and interpreted by the Zulu themselves. 12 years fieldwork led to this 1976 study of the ritual cycle of Zulu birth, maturity, marriage, sickness & death, diviners, "heaven-herds", ancestors, witchcraft and medicines.
