Shamans may serve asdoctorswithin theirChristian, Islamic, Hindu, or indigenous societies and sometimes across religious and ethnic boundaries. In discussinggenderedandpoliticaldistinctions and relationships in relation to Malaysian shamans,Ioan Lewisalso provides examples of thesexualnature of some human relationships with other-than-human persons orpossessingorelectingspirits. He notes that a Muslim woman who claimed to have had a child by a “spirit to which she was ‘married’ was fined by an Islamic court for committing adultery.” In contrast, he also discusses the “mystical marriage” between a Malay bomoh and his “spirit bride” that lasted for 13 years, resulted in the birth of two “spirit children, a boy and a girl,” and ended in divorce. Happily, the divorced bomoh continued to be guided and medically advised by his ex-spirit wife.
