Journeywoman
Thoko Hancock finished her training as a hat maker when she left home for the traditional journey called "Walz". For three years and one day – as the rules say – she must not come closer than 50 kilometers to her hometown and is not allowed to spend money on accommodation nor transport.
Fellow journeymen and -women accompany her for the first week. One of them will stay longer and teach Thoko all the customs. All knowledge is passed on verbally – as a protection from outsiders.
