In a service station somewhere on Route 1, in Morocco, an old sheika told me something. Though they long remained mysterious, her words formed an itinerary that called out to me. Today, from city and countryside, from fear and fascination, I set off in search of the Moroccan sheikhat with these indelible words in mind: “May God preserve you from the depravity that is mine.”
