Richard Werbner takes readers on a journey though contemporary
charismatic wisdom divination in southern Africa. Beginning with
the silent language of the divinatory lots, Werbner deciphers the
everyday, metaphorical, and poetic language that is used to reveal
their meaning. Through Werbner's skillful interpretations of the
language of divination, a picture of Tswapong moral imagination is
revealed. Concerns about dignity and personal illumination,
witchcraft, pollution, the anger of dead ancestors, as well as the
nature of life, truth, cosmic harmony, being, and becoming emerge
in this charged African setting.
