Our Traditional Religions and Christianity - it's Magic!

From the Ghana Humanist Association:

Scene 1 Somewhere in a Ghanaian forest, lying on a mat is a woman named Ama. Dancing around Ama are two priests and priestesses of the Afrikan traditional religion (ATR), dressed in animal skins, a raffia skirt, beads, bodies painted and holding a white fowl and the bones of a goat. Speaking in a language unknown to humans, they call on bossum anchiwiri, the baobab tree God to cure Ama of her sickness.

As a Christian, what do you think of the ceremony described above?

Is it magic or idol worship? I don't know, you tell me.
