ABSTRACT
Among the Akan of Ghana, anti-witchcraft shrines have always represented a means by which ambitious entrepreneurs may take advantage of innovative business opportunities offered by new types of commodities. It was against a background of moral anxieties generated by the presence in the local economy of different types of accumulation that anti-witchcraft shrines flourished in colonial Asante (McCaskie 1981; McLeod 1965, 1975).
