Abstract

The title of this published lecture barely does justice to its contents. On the one hand the publication gives a detailed account of its subject, namely oracles and sacrifices among peoples of the west African savanna, in particular among the Bulsa in northern Ghana and the Lyela in Burkina Faso. On the other hand the account is a mature reflection relating to research spread over many years and makes significant methodological points concerning participant observation.
