	Sangoma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sangomas have many different social and political roles in the community: divination, healing, directing rituals, finding lost cattle, protecting warriors, counteracting witches, and narrating the history, cosmology, and myths of their tradition.
		Sangomas are able to access advice and guidance from the ancestors for their patients in three ways: possession by an ancestor, or channelling; throwing bones; and interpreting dreams.
		Sangomas will give their patients Muti, medications of plant and animal origin imbued with spiritual significance, often with powerful symbolism - lion fat is given to promote courage.

		Sangomas are the traditional healers of the Zulu, Swazi, Xhosa, Sotho, Tswana, Venda and Tsongo/Shangaan ethnic groups of Southern Africa.
		Sangomas are called to heal, and through them ancestors from the spirit world can give instruction and advice to heal illness, social disharmony and spiritual difficulties.
		Sangomas far outnumber western doctors in Southern Africa, and are consulted first (or exclusively) by approximately 80% of the indigenous population.

		A sangoma is a practitioner of herbal medicine, divination and counselling in traditional Nguni (Zulu, Xhosa, Ndebele and Swazi) societies of Southern Africa (effectively an African shaman).
		At times in the training, and for the graduation, a ritual sacrifice of an animal is performed (usually a chicken, a goat or a cow).
		The spilling of this blood is meant to seal the bond between the ancestors and the sangoma.

	sangoma
		The sangoma uses various methods such as "throwing the bones" (Amathambo, also known by other names depending on cultural group) or going under spiritual trance to consult the ancestral spirits or spirit guides to find the diagnosis or cure for the problem, be it bewitchment, love or other.
		The role of the Sangoma does not involve sorcery to attain ordinary human objectives, but a person who strives ceaselessly to be ethical in everything he or she does and is accountable both to natural and supernatural realms, and ultimately to the entire pattern of the universe.
		Sangomas are, in the modern sense of the word, psychologists, or para-psychologists.

	Sangoma - What is a Sangoma? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Sangoma’s spend a large amount of time soothing their clients while sorting through the layers of suspicions and doubts that are linked to jealousy, rage and accusations.
		The Sangoma's abilities or power have always been based on the fact that he/she is directly connected or an incarnation of an ancestral spirit or guide and being a manifestation of an inherited spirit allows the Sangoma to thus have a direct line with the universe and open to all channels of communication.
		Once the Sangoma has linked with their particular ancestor they are then able to communicate with the deceased, angels, guides and spirits, receiving messages from the ancestors and universe directly.

		The Sangoma is a wanderer of borders and boundaries and confronts within himself/herself the unknown spiritual terrain of the ancestors.
		The position of the Sangoma at the very limit of the community is both a privileged position and a dangerous one in that the initiation of the Sangoma becomes the death of the old self and the rebirth of a new Sangoma.
		This gallbladder comes from the goat that was slaughtered at the time of a Sangoma’s graduation, and it is said to "call the ancestors." In most cases, a cluster of goat horns and bead containers filled with an assortment of herbs and medicines is worn around the neck, shoulders, and body.

	Diviner: The sangoma tradition of Southern Africa
		The real proof of election for sangoma-hood is when the spirit speaks through the patient's mouth when in trance, preferably in tongues or dialects unknown to the patient in ordinary life, and when it divulges messages to the living concerning ancestral election, imminent illness and death, and the breach of taboos.
		The majority of twazas graduate as fully-fledged sangomas by means of a public, festive and expensive celebration, which culminates in the ritual sacrifice of at least one goat (another was already sacrificed at the onset of utwaza) and the ceremonial consumption -- with the aid of make-shift chopsticks -- of the sacrificial animal's intestines.
		In north-eastern Botswana and the adjacent regions of South Africa and Zimbabwe, sangoma lodges are associated with the Mwali cult, to whose headquarters in the Matopos Hills (Zimbabwe) a portion of their income from divination and healing is forwarded as tribute.

		Diviners are called to their profession by their ancestors, and at first are apprenticed to a teacher and trained to contact the ancestral spirits as a source of inspiration.
		The beads on a sangoma's headdress are said to be strung in loops so that the spirits they call have somewhere to sit as they speak into their ears.

	Commodification and the Southern African sangoma cult
		He was duly initiated as a sangoma, learning a personal repertoire of dance and song, and receiving the beads, cloak, dancing-skirt and pilgrim’s staff of a Mwali adept — although so far he never accompanied the lodge’s leader and other adepts on their infrequent visits to the central Mwali oracle of Njelele.
		Never very self-confident of his status as a sangoma, he began to consider another metamorphosis again, that towards the status of Christian church leader, which he thought to be a more sociable and less lonely profession, closer to the people and with more response from them.
		Although within the inner circle of the lodge and the professional organisation sangomas may take pride in their speciality, there is very considerable shame and fear involved: no one with an alternative course will become or remain a sangoma, and in many cases (perhaps with the exception of those belong to sangoma families, cf.

	SineApps: *-Users: Sangoma Experience - Review
		Throughout my tests I installed the Sangoma card and drivers several times on a few servers and by the end it was taking me about 10 minutes extra per install to get the Sangoma cards and their drivers ready for Asterisk usage.
		It is important to note however that Sangoma has been contributing code to GPL Asterisk for a while now(they just recently started contributing directly as Sangoma) and seems to be doing more development with Asterisk as they get more Asterisk users as their customers.
		I do hope that Digium takes a look at what Sangoma was able to accomplish for roughly the same price point in a smaller form factor and will hopefully make some of the same advances in their cards in the future.
