Black Bull, Ancestors And Me - My Life As A Lesbian Sangoma (Paperback)

‘In Zulu culture a man must be a man and do male things and a woman must be a woman and do female things but with sangomas it is more flexible.

Her quest is for a middle path of balance and integration between the living and the dead, the traditional and the modern.
