So I keep hearing about this secret Somali society of timo dheer people who live in exclusive communities that are brimming with wealth and practice sorcery and a whole bunch of other bananas.

I heard a lot of unintelligent stories ("I refused to give a ride to one on the side of the road and a few km down, my tire was flat", "I refused to give one man money and I had very bad financial problems soon after" )


Why is there such mystery around them? Why are they a 'them'?

Where did the nonsense ducktale stories come from?

When you believe thing like your prophet split the moon and Noah gathered every animal in the world in an Arc, you find yourself easily accepting other superstitions with equal veracity.
