Once a year, on the night of October 31st, when the moon glimmers brightly in the night sky and the air fills with a crisp, mysterious energy, a magical Halloween celestial witch emerges. She is a being of enchantment and mystery, harnessing the power of the celestial bodies to weave her spells and work her magic. Dressed in flowing robes adorned with stars and moons, the celestial witch is a sight to behold. Her hat, tipped with a sparkling silver crescent moon, casts a playful shadow across her face. As she glides through the night, her steps light and delicate, her presence commands attention and wonder. The essence of the celestial witch lies in her connection to the heavens above.

The essays in this collection provide a very useful overview of both the diversity of African divination systems and of recent approaches to their study. The essays that follow are divided into five sections that explore, in turn, the identity of the diviner; comparative and historical issues; the central role of divination in the articulation of cultural ideas, norms, and values within society; the making of knowledge through the divinatory process; and the integration of normal and nonnormal ways of knowing within the divination process.
The essence of the celestial witch lies in her connection to the heavens above.

Whether it be a waxing gibbous or a waning crescent, the moon's energy is her guiding light.
African Divination Systems : Ways of Knowing
The essays in this collection provide a very useful overview of both the diversity of African divination systems and of recent approaches to their study. The introduction critically reviews the preoccupations of earlier students of African divination. The essays that follow are divided into five sections that explore, in turn, the identity of the diviner; comparative and historical issues; the central role of divination in the articulation of cultural ideas, norms, and values within society; the making of knowledge through the divinatory process; and the integration of normal and nonnormal ways of knowing within the divination process. Although all of the essays provide rich ethnographic data, the essays in the fourth and fifth section are the most interesting from a theoretical perspective. They provide the clearest critique of previous positivist approaches to divination, which focus on the outcomes of the divinatory process while failing to appreciate the meanings and truths that inhere to, and are articulated by, the process itself. Of particular interest are the facinating articles by Rosalind Shaw and Philip Peek. Highly recommended for advanced undergraduates.
