Got turned onto this guys work by a nice & kind anthropologist I follow on Twitter & like to have a debate with now & again, she told me to check this guy out & send me this link. Some really interesting piece of work right here about the Azande people & their understanding / working of "witchcraft"

"University professor Sir Edward Evans-Pritchard taught that our own ideas have many features in common with other cultures and are just as weird and wonderful. He was the first trained anthropologist to do work in Africa, where he lived among the Azande and studied their belief in witchcraft."
