The sickness needed a bone and hair to come out into. A material container for a non material item, a representation of the disease. From the shaman's perspective when they hold the item and say it is the sickness, they are not simply lying, but they are showing a visual manifestation of the disease. I would imagine that a shaman would keep such items on hand.


Very clever way of explaining the phenomenon !
It suits both westerner's rational mind and tribal magical belief.

I'm an american who is descended from African slaves and native americans (indians). For years my mother has used things found in nature to heal not only herself, but her children as well. I believe that sometimes we have to look to other cultures for the answers that we no longer seem to have.
