Historical main catalogue: "Mmee. Magic remedy of the Wanyamwesi: Used to identify mlozi (sorcerers). The unfuma (magic doctor) is asked; is he and he mlozi? Water is poured into the bowl and the top wooden peg is placed in it. Then the bowl is moved. If the peg remains perpendicular to the wooden fork, the person being asked about is innocent; if it remains horizontal [...], the person is guilty (mlozi). The unfumu then slaughters a chicken with a knife. Depending on whether he finds good or bad spots in the meat, the person concerned is guilty or not guilty. The mlozi must then be killed. Mpuge. Unyamwesi north. Tabora"
