Voodoo <Obeah>
One of my grand mother use to take my brother and I to her Voodoochurch on a sunday morning, This was a happy church for us there was alot of singing and dancing.
Looking back now I am glad our Granny took us to her church.
There is a law on the Island from 1760 it is
The Jamaica,s Obeah Legislation.
1760:In response to a major slave rebellion the colonial goverment
outlaws Obeah for the first time in the Caribbean...
With the Act to Remedy the Evils arising from Irregolar Assemblies of Slaves , defining Obeah as The wicked Art of Negroes
pretending to have Communications with the Devil and other evil spirits.....
After reading this I had a good laugh...
Walk good every one....
PS. Some days ago I was hoping for rain now we have rain <NICE>

Glad that you finally have the rain. I just love it when it rains....
I might sound stupid here but voodoo does exist, doesn't it?!?!
I might sound stupid again here but I do believe in its existence.....
There are many churches on the Island and thay dont like Voodoo
Yet Obeah is apart of our folklore...
I'm sorry if I sound like an IRS interrogator.....
There is only a brother ,and some very good friends
left the Island more than 30 years ago.
these things have a way of coming back to the person who have cast a spell or use them........
Yet it would be nice to dance to some Voodoo drums again
Heard a few Tales from the Bahamians and the Haitian-Nationals living there!
The Singer was originally from Cat-Island Bahamas,center of Bahamian Obeah.
Yet there are drum beats and rhymes and if one listen and dance with them we can go into some thing new...
I love Drums, Drumming and the Rythm, the sound, it puts me in a different dimension, like meditation, I get very high and happy on it. I have respect for Voodoo.
