ABSTRACT

‘What did Damfo [the healer] actually do to you?’ ‘He didn’t do things to me,’ replied Jesiwa. ‘He never pushed me. The opposite was the way he treated me. Sometimes I was in a hurry to do something. He would urge me to hold back a bit and think of the thing I wanted to do, to make sure that was really what I needed to do. He never pushed me. And he never deceived me.’
