Something I learned recently… While reading Linda Tucker’s Mystery of the White Lions, I learned about Twasa, the process through which sangomas (traditional healers in South Africa) receive their calling.

If you’re curious to learn more, I highly recommend Tucker’s book: Mystery of the White Lions. Heart wisdom
