Luanda - A literary work entitled “A Feitiçaria Um Desafio Antropológico Sempre Presente nas Comunidades Cristãs” (Witchcraft an Anthropological Challenge Always Present in Christian Communities) portrays the effects of this practice and considers it a destructive phenomenon of human dignity.
The six-chapter authored by Priest José Diogo Jerónimo also known as Zola, focuses on the origin of the wizard´s mentality and the clarification of basic concepts related to the subject.
The author who also wrote the book “Decálogo da Infância e Adolescência Missionárias” (Decalogue of Missionary Childhood and Youth) defends the criminalization of this practice and underlines that the phenomenon is not African as it has been said, but it is human.
“Just being a man is enough to be a potential follower of witchcraft mentality or even a victim of the beliefs of witchcraft,” the author told ANGOP on the sidelines of the book launch last Saturday in Luanda.
