Wanga?
Is nkisi another word for wanga? Wade Davis defines the latter as "a magical charm used for selfish or malevolent intent" (at least in modern Haitian belief) and while the current article is hard to understand, it seems closer than any other here to describing such an object within African/diasporic folklore. Accordingly, I added a diambiguation hatnote to Wanga directing here (that title is presently about a tribe by that name). If anyone knows better, please do fix this!
