(s.), "sorcerer, wizard, witch doctor, magician;

1913).
Kalisha Buckhanon, an African-American novelist. (Wiki)
... Of the animals the serpent,
"the father of the world," is the most worshipped, and many a
cabin has its domestic snake. The northern Gallas have priests and
sorcerers; these latter, called kalisha, greatly dreaded on account of
their incantations, pretend that they can dispose of the future at their
will, causing life or death, and conjuring the evil spirit... (The
Earth and Its Inhabitants: Africa, Reclus, v.1, 1886)
