Spirit possession among the Mijikenda reveals how illness, healing, and spirituality are deeply connected along Kenya’s Coast. The community believes some diseases are caused by spirits known as pepo za mwiri (body spirits) and pepo za kitswa (head spirits).
Traditional healers (waganga) use herbal medicine, rituals, and the famous ngoma za pepo (spirit dance) to diagnose, appease, and exorcise these spirits. This practice reflects Mijikenda culture, identity, social harmony, and the powerful role of women in spiritual expression.
