Notes: Anthropological Papers of the University of Arizona Number 15. Basso’s revised dissertation. Witchcraft as a means of social control, witchcraft as “shared knowledge” about the universe. “Members of contemporary Western Apache society subscribe to a set of beliefs which imply that certain individuals purposely kill and injure other by means involving neither face-to-face interaction nor the use of any item of material culture.” (From Chapter 1). “She’s a black magic woman…” (Peter Green, Fleetwood Mac)
