|Shamans = Shona healers are called ''nganga''. ''Nganga'' primarily use two forms of divination to determine the cause of an illness (or other misfortune). One form of divination is called ''Hakata'', in which the nganga consults a set of charms, each of which has its own significance. The other form is ''possession'' in which the nganga causes the petitioner to enter a state of hypnosis. While in this state, anything the petitioner says is interpreted as having come from a spirit.
