Description
Psychic Phenomena of Jamaica
By JOSEPH J. WILLIAMS, S.J.
DESPITE the fact that obeah is clearly defined as regards its origin in Ashanti witchcraft, and its early development among the Jamaica slaves, in course of time it has become so confused with voodoo and other superstitious practices that now the word is used as a generic term for any kind of West India witchcraft and by extension it embraces even "a fetish or magic object used in witchcraft."
As a consequence, it is difficult for the average reader to clearly differentiate the real from pseudo-obeah unless he keeps in mind the fundamental principles which were established in the preceding chapter, and which may be briefly summarized as follows.
**This eBook has all graphics of a high quality and eligible as good format.
**All Texts are completely digitally edited and properly formatted for easy reading.
