This is the sorcerer for the small village of Manguirla in the hills near the Nigerian border. He used his magic pebbles to tell me that I would be very happy and healthy and problem free for the next year, but my mind wasn't yet in a place where it was truly ready to search for love. This was a long process, as the answer had to go from the magic stones to the sorcerer, then from the sorcerer to the first interpreter who translated from Maffa to Fulfulde, and then to the next interpreter who translated from Fulfulde to French. I think I did well, as the woman who went before us was told that she was ill because she had been cursed, and she would have to sacrifice a goat to find out who had cursed her.
