Native Wizard - South Africa, circa 1895
Native Wizard - This may be the most powerful man in his tribe, whom even the chief may fear. He knows too much, he knows the meanings of his bones and the secret spells by which disease and disaster may be hurled against a foe. He can smell out criminals, who are generally enemies of the chief or himself and who are done to death at his word. He deals in drugs and poisons. In some tribes, only the wizard and doctor is allowed to wear the skin of certain animals
