Title: Drum Magazine social history photographs, Ghana edition 6 Description: Ghana, 1961. Juju: What is the Truth – Tough thorny cactus spines are jabbed and rubbed against the skin – but the flesh does not tear away, he's left unmarked ... "You want to see juju at work? Why, Amotive is the place!" "No, Agbomey is better! Go there, man!" "The place is Bioseh!" Yes, suggestions came by the million, when we said we wanted to see juju. No-one told us: "I have personally been to so-and so place and seen such and such wonders. I guarantee that if you go there, you will see and photograph the same wonders."
