Obeah

Dihah MALLICA REYNOLDS (KAPO)


At work today, someone came and asked me a question about Obeah.

Before this man came up to me , my day had been dull, I had been checking my favourite bookmarks on the pc, seeing what they said, I had been wondering about men, death, and why.

Suddenly this question roused me from the depth of my slumbers, my mind became alive again.
I wondered briefly, fleetingly, if I had done Caribbean studies instead of Art studies, would I have gone further in my life?

Then I recollected a work, Voodoo by Wade Davis
His book, the Passage of Darkness: The Ethnobiology of Haitian Zombie
My mind was awake again

I also had to ask myself about the whole of Obeah which just seemed tobe more an ide that a practice
