There is a small number of anthropologists who are taking this sort of thing quite seriously, and are also applying it to account for the real, documentable efficacy of magic and divination in traditional cultures. The names that come most readily to mind in this connection are Paul Stoller, Bruce Grindal, Barbara Tedlock, and Edith Turner. Barbara Tedlock is one-quarter Ojibwa; her grandmother was a traditional midwife, herbalist, dream-prophet, etc.
