The book provides the connection of ancestors and humankind, how
ukuthwasa could be understood as well as the role and value of
dreams in ukuthwasa. The life histories of amagqirha create a
deeper insight on understanding the spiritual journey of ukuthwasa
as it links the previous theoretical information on
interconnections between ukuthwasa, ancestors and the complex world
of supernatural powers, ritual and symbolism. The author's
experiences on the journey of ukuthwasa provide a point of
reference throughout the study. The full description of ukuthwasa
training process as it unfolds up to the internship stage,
including rituals involved at various stages as well as their
contribution in constructing the understanding of 'self' and
healing identities by amagqirha elucidate more understanding to
ukuthwasa. Reflections on the interface between ukuthwasa and
Christianity are provided and a broad discussion is provided on the
two key rituals performed in the process of ukuthwasa. General
conclusions, limitations of the study and recommendations for
future studies are provided.
