Traditional medicine (ritual murder) in southern-east Africa blends physical and psychological suffering in a unique and syncretic way of life. Magical thinking in childhood is very similar, to some extent, while traditional medicine crosses more the specter of obsessive-compulsive disorders.
The purpose of medicine murder is to build a frame in which medicine is stuffed partly on human flesh. Many preparations are often child-like romantic and wild in visions.
Social anthropological studies have linked people with albinism in Africa to the belief that part of their bodies could transmit magical powers.
The result has been murdering, persecution, and very bad potions.

The Holy Communion is the re-enactment of the Last Supper of Jesus and his apostles, where adepts drink wine and eat bread that is believed to be the blood and body of Jesus himself.

Christianity inherits these rituals from Hellenism, for instance, Euripides recalled in his scripts that not only was Dionysus born of a virgin but his blood was wine to be shared.

The Imitation of Christ of Thomas à Kempis insists on the service to the Eucharist as a key element of spiritual life.

Since the book operates on the tradition of Magic Medicine anyone should expect its text to be revised and corrected like has been recently done to a cult novel by Agatha Cristie, “Dix petits nègres“.
