Abstract
Abstract:This article explores how notions of spiritual warfare among Pentecostals/charismatics in south-central Tanzania are entangled with popular Islamic spiritologies from the coastal areas, especially Islamic spirits known as majini. Majini have become incorporated into contemporary shared understandings of witchcraft and traditional healing, contributing to a perceived modernization of witchcraft.
