amuletti ndongalaiset This omushindilo is used by solders and especially the leaders of armies, who will walk in the front… wave the omushindilo from side to side and thus remove all the obstacles from the way. Many amazing tales are told about this miracle making omushindilo. Once a Kuambian was chasing a Ndonga and was about to catch him when the Ndonga waved the omushindilo around him and turned into a bush and thus was saved. Another one in a similar manner turned into a tree stump and the chaser looked for him in vain. |
