Experiencing Ritual A New Interpretation of African Healing Edith Turner. With William Blodgett, Singleton Kahona, and Fideli Benwa "Experiencing Ritual" is Edith Turner's account of how she sighted a spirit form while participating in the Ihamba ritual of the Ndembu. Through her analysis, she presents a view not common in anthropological writings--the view of millions of Africans--that ritual is the harnessing of spiritual power.
