A sangoma is a practitioner of herbal medicine, divination and counselling in traditional Nguni societies of Southern Africa (effectively an African shaman). The philosophy is based on a belief in ancestral spirits.

  • A sangoma is a practitioner of herbal medicine, divination and counselling in traditional Nguni societies of Southern Africa (effectively an African shaman). The philosophy is based on a belief in ancestral spirits. Both men and women can be called by the ancestors (a consequence of refusing the calling is usually ongoing physical or mental illness) though sangomas are usually female. Historically the sangoma role has been the preserve of the black, indigenous peoples of Africa, but post-Apartheid white South Africans have also entered the profession - John Lockley is reputedly one of the first white men in recent history to become a fully initiated Xhosa sangoma. A trainee sangoma (or twaza) trains under another sangoma, usually for a period of years, usually performing humbling service in the community. At times in the training, and for the graduation, a ritual sacrifice of an animal is performed. The spilling of this blood is meant to seal the bond between the ancestors and the sangoma.
  • Der Sangoma ist die Bezeichnung für einen südafrikanischen Medizinmann. Er spielt in der medizinischen Versorgung der traditionellen Nguni-Kulturen eine zentrale Rolle. Seine Behandlungsmethoden basieren nicht nur auf der umfangreichen Kenntnis von Heilkräutern. Er betreibt auch Hellsehen und berät seine Patienten. Eine Umfrage des Pietermaritzburg Institute of Natural Resources hat ergeben, dass 84 % der südafrikanischen Bevölkerung mindestens dreimal jährlich einen Sangoma konsultieren. Trotzdem genießt der Sangoma in akademischen Kreisen und unter Medizinern ein sehr niedriges Ansehen.
  • Nella cultura tradizionale dei popoli Nguni, un sangoma è una sorta di sciamano, esperto di magia, medicina tradizionale e divinazione. In alcune culture, il termine viene usato in senso più specifico; per gli Xhosa, per esempio, un "sangoma" si occupa di magia e divinazione, mentre la conoscenza degli usi medicinali delle erbe è associata a una figura distinta detta ixwhele.
  • Sangoma [sæŋˈgəʊmə sæŋˈgəʊmə] (z zuluskiego isangoma w językach grupy językowej nguni jest pochodną od słowa ngoma. Ngoma oznacza obrzęd, granie na bębnach, taniec, celebrację, różdżkarstwo oraz terapię rytualną. Zulskie Sangoma oznacza kogoś kto zajmuje się ngoma badź różdżkarstem) — znachor, zielarz, wróżbita i parapsycholog pośród tradycyjnych społeczeństw ludów Nguni w Afryce Południowej, odpowiednik afrykańskiego szamana.
  • Um Sangoma é um praticante da medicina das ervas, adivinhação e aconselhamento na tradição Nguni, sociedades da Africa do Sul. A filosofia é baseada na crença nos espíritos ancestrais. Tanto homens quanto mulheres podem ser chamados pelos ancestrais e a conseqüencia da recusa ao chamado usualmente acredita-se que causem doenças físicas ou mentais. Um aprendiz sangoma (ou twaza) ensinado por um outro sangoma, usualmente por um período de anos, normalmente executando serviço de humilhação na comunidade. Às vezes na formação, e para a graduação, um sacrifício ritual de um animal é executado (normalmente um frango, uma cabra ou uma vaca). O derramamento deste sangue está destinado para selar a obrigação entre os antepassados e o sangoma.
