Anthropos 54. 1959 K. J. Narr i The War-Magic Houses in the Wahgi Valley and Adjacent Areas (New Guinea) By Heinrich Aufenanger Contents : Introduction The War-Magic Houses in the Various Areas : Kovun Banz Kuno Gende and Biyom Upper and Middle Chimbu Mingende Kup Nauru Bandi Yundi Dirima Dom Koge Introduction About two years ago I was once in Kovun, at a place called Magn, situated on a mountain to the left of the Jimmy River, when one of the headmen excused himself, saying to my catechist : “I have to build my nggar mavil” (i. e. my taboo-house). That remark gave me the clue to the existence of such houses, which up to then had been unknown to me. When the man noticed that I had got wind of something that he wanted to keep secret, he told me over and over again that he meant no harm and that I must not say anything to the Government official. His brother had been killed by an enemy. He felt sorry for his brother but he did not intend to go to war. I went to see for myself what kind of house he was building. It was a long house but I was told that a former one, which had stood not far from this spot, was round. Since then I have used every opportunity to see and study houses of this kind wherever I came across them, and to find out about the customs and ceremonies connected with them. It was not easy to discover such houses because the natives seemed to share a secret resolve to keep me and other whites away from them. Even when I found one, the wardens would rarely let me have a look into their sanctuary. Since the tribal wars have been stopped by the combined efforts of Mission and Government the War-Magic Houses (I shall write WMH for short) have lost much of their importance. I have seen a good number in very bad condition, others which were rapidly disintegrating, and others again
