I agree, Keith. It seems to me that these witchcraft and sorcery ideas and beliefs have been practised for maybe thousands of years in Africa, long long before Christianity even emerged. They're so deeply ingrained in the mindset of most Africans, although without much in the way of written history, we cannot know for sure. Many peoples throughout the world have bolted on Christianity to their existing more primitive credos, for example in South America, where sacrifice of chickens and voodoo-type 'trance' practices exist in tandem with Roman Catholicism. It's astonishing that even today, most young people in W. Africa still fear the world of sorcery and spells, while happily using the local 'cyber' computers to go online, and texting their friends on their mobiles! That's why, although education is the remedy, it will take time for modern ideas to filter into their deepest and most firmly-held beliefs.
