ON THE COVER

The Yoruba king, Odun Oba Ila Orangun, wearing his bead-decorated crown topped with an egret, which portrays orderliness and purity. The crown is studded with other bird figures. They are the "elders," symbolizing the power of the royal ancestors to counter the force of witches. Credit: John Pemberton.
