Abstract: 'My aim therefore is to show that much of what is called "magic" in the healing systems of the amagqira [Xhosa indigenous healers] is not "magical" in the usual sense of the word but is based on sound principles of depth psychology, especially as formulated by Carl Gustav Jung and his followers. The amagqira have not thought out and systematised their methods as is customary in the Western, scientific world. They have, rather, perceived their methods intuitively, and use them in, to us, non-rational ways.'
