They would only return to the dance to heal the people around the fire with the power he has received.
According to the traditional healer, he grew up in the bush, hunting and gathering with his family group where he learnt to hunt for food and animals.
He narrated a spiritual experience he had when he was a child which had supernaturally left him with the power of healing.
According to him, he healed people by doing the healing dance with them and administering herbal medicines whenever he visited those who were sick.
He accorded the source of his healing powers to God, noting how wasteful it would be if he didn’t use the powers he was given.
Doing this ritual seems to be a source of livelihood for himself and his family.
