I created this page for the page Sacred Mushrooms which now is a redirect, do with as you will. GrazingshipIV 23:29, Apr 15, 2004 (UTC)

following was tacked on to the end, sans context:

Witch doctors were said to have eaten the marrow of children to achieve extremely old age. Some were said to have achieved ages of 250-300 years. Witch Doctors were said to have ruled in West Levin, Moore Sawn, South Bostonia, and Garnet Valley.

the places mentioned, with the possible exception of Garnet Valley, do not seem to exist outside this article. is this from a work of fiction? if so, which? i can make no sense of it. 67.68.242.65 06:18, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Negative impact of sangomas

There doesn't seem to be any infomation on the negative impact sangomas may have on South African Society, for example high porofile cases in 2002/3 of babies being raped after sangomas mentioned to aids patients that this would cure them, or how sangomas can often condemn men or women to die after accusing them of being witches. although I'm not against sangomas in principle, this article seems very one sided. gmyoung_98
