  • Nkisi (l.mn. minkisi) – w religii ludu Bakongo duch lub bóstwo zamieszkujące różnego rodzaju przedmioty, fetysze, obdarzone dzięki temu magiczną mocą. Przedmioty te, niekiedy przedstawiające postać ludzką, również nazywane nkisi, wykorzystywane są podczas zawierania umów, składania przysięgi itp. Szczególną odmianą minkisi są „nkisi nkonde”, fetysze gwoździowe, przy których magiczne moce przywoływane są poprzez wbijanie w figurkę kolejnych gwoździ. Sam wygląd fetysza ma budzić grozę i respekt. Fetysze gwoździowe służyły do sprowadzania choroby lub śmierci na inne osoby. (pl)
