The South African Water Spirit
Uptown Pokies is delving into the rich traditions of global folklore, uncovering tales that will set the mood for Halloween. Today, we turn our gaze to South African folklore to meet the Tokoloshe, a dwarf-like water spirit known to bring chaos and illness to those who meet him.
The Tokoloshe pronounced "to-koh-loh-she," is a supernatural entity embedded in Zulu and Xhosa traditions. Described as a mischievous and malevolent creature a few feet tall, the Tokoloshe possesses a grotesque appearance, bulging eyes and sharp, pointed teeth. It can become invisible by drinking water or swallowing a stone, allowing it to wreak havoc undetected.
To ward off the Tokoloshe, traditional beliefs prescribe using various protective measures, such as placing bricks or other objects under the legs of one's bed to keep them out of reach. Some even resort to seeking the aid of a witch doctor for protection.
