| Tiivistelmä: | By conjuring up ancient spells, potions and hexes, Malaysia's shamanistic bomohs are providing a popular service to today's middle class. But sometimes, the traditional Malay healers are in the news for all the worst reasons. Norizah Abdullah counts herself among the growing ranks of thoroughly modern Malaysian women. But when her relationship with a longtime boyfriend turned rocky, the successful Kuala Lumpur professional sought help from a member of an older, darker world. Norizah consulted a bomoh, a traditional Malay healer and conjurer. |
