The Story
the tokoloshe
For centuries…. Southern Africans have monitored the evolution of a frightening phenomenon… the Tokoloshe.
A creature from Zulu mythology and deeply rooted in South African Folklore, the Tokoloshe are small and terrifying creatures that attack you in your sleep. Many keep their beds raised off the floor for fear of the wrath of the Tokoloshe, hoping that they would not be able to reach them while they rest.
Otherwise known as the South African water sprite or goblin, they are said to have magical powers, and can disguise themselves as anything…. or turn invisible by putting a rock in its mouth or drinking water!
In most cases, a witch doctor resurrects the Tokoloshe by inserting a nail or hot poker in its head.
If a Tokoloshe continues to terrorize a household or a community a Sangoma (Zulu witch doctor) is summoned to exorcize the area and/or the home with the use of muti, a traditional kind of magic practiced by the Sangoma.
There are different kinds of Tokoloshe…. but one things remains certain…. Raise your beds and keep your doors closed because the Tokoloshe is here!!!!
