@kaynekawasaki: #ad Sometimes entertainment can be the doorway to history. 🎬📚 In this video, I explore what is Obeah? and why did colonial authorities in Jamaica fear it so much? Obeah has long been surrounded by mystery, misunderstanding and colonial stereotypes. But behind the misconceptions is a much deeper history of African spirituality, healing, survival and resistance in the Caribbean. Inspired by Sky’s new series Possession, I wanted to dig a little deeper into that history and explore how Obeah became such a powerful and feared presence in Jamaica’s colonial past. Possession is available to watch on Sky TV and Now TV. #tvreview #obeah #jamaicatiktok
Jamaicans second religion. Ask any Jamaican if they believe in Obeah

Love that you’re sharing this part of our culture it’s just so sad that colonisation really did brainwash a lot of people to demonise it

obeh literally means sorcery and is a part of afro Caribbean traditional religion but it is not afro Caribbean traditional religion.... obeh is deals with maniputing nature in an unnatural way... obeh is opposed by traditional afro Caribbean religion
