another notable aspect of the fore belief system is their belief in sorcery. the fore view sorcery as a chaotic force that works to uproot the status quo, though not necessarily as an instrument of evil. it is seen as a source of power and wealth and a valid way to defend against other kinship groups. battles and migrations among the fore are often caused by accusations of sorcery. problems within a kinship group may be blamed on sorcery, although there is a dichotomy between the north and south fore in this belief. the north fore tend to fear attacks from other villages or kinship groups, while among the south fore the fear is more of sorcery attacks from within family groups, possibly due to bribes given to sorcerers by enemy groups. to protect against attacks by enemy villages, the fore make an effort to keep outside sorcerers from being able to access leavings or water holes.
