One notable figure in these stories is the sangoma Malibongwe Ngingingini, who is portrayed as an old friend with a deep connection to realms of consciousness. Alongside his apprentice Anna, Malibongwe navigates the boundaries between light and dark, offering healing in increasingly inventive ways. Through their exploits, the shamans in these tales journey through South Africa and beyond, leaving a lasting impact on all they encounter.
Overall, this collection of stories offers a unique glimpse into the world of shamanism and the power of storytelling. Each narrative is a testament to the resilience and creativity of the human spirit, making for a captivating and thought-provoking read.
