[@cornellsly]

Yet another prime example of why we need each other! All of Us! Thank you Brother! 🔥🔥🔥

[@Evangelionism]

Ayyyy, ya dun know

[@deliciouslyk3437]

Them outlawed it for slaves, because up to now them doing it more than anybody else. ​@@Evangelionism

[@hainleysimpson1507]

Also Obeah men were feared not because of magic. But their knowledge of poisons and medicinal herbology, botany and being religious and social pillars for slaves that were not aligned with the desires of slave masters and slave traders.

[@barbaramarriott8644]

Slavers will out law anything they fear. PERIOD

[@lorabrowni9255]

I enjoyed listening to this guy ( rich history ) he was very articulate with the words he chose.

[@NunyaHarmonee]

So THANK YOU for sharing this information. In all my studies to Know Thy Self, I have never come across the word Myal and it's deep and rich meaning. I would love to hear more from Alex about Myal or any suggestions on books or workshops about our culture in Myalism.

[@9ethersoul]

Obeah is the highest form of Alchemy

[@peterjohnson2181]

Growing up we were taught to fear obeyah man

[@Goddessaisha1]

Thank you for sharing, much appreciated. Big up yourselves,One love.

[@hughlowe4431]

Well explained

[@jamiami3804]

Because it gives people hope, with hope you start thinking you can. If you think you can, you will. The British don’t want nothing around that inspires you. If you want to be a good obeah man, study herbs. If you know what herbs to use you can give a person a drink and convince them you put duppy on them or release them from one.

[@gerardesposito6038]

Need the whole interview ‼️

[@almministrys1659]

The British never stop using odeah aka Myal and revivalism

They outlawed also in Grenada.

[@shortymono]

I’m not saying Obeah/black magic isn’t real, but if we are being historically accurate, the British suppressed all other religious or spiritual practices throughout all their colonies. It was more about buying into Christianity and creating uniformity over those they conquered. Much like Christianity and slavery in the U.S. The Brits did the same everywhere from India, to the African nations, and the Caribbean. Everything in context.

[@escarlit]

the goal was to disempower all those groups they “conquered.” this is a mostly jamaican channel hence the focus on OBEAH. your language speaks volumes and you’ve revealed yourself here 👀 “black magic” doesn’t mean what you think it means.

[@ahhmeeman]

ONLY ONE THING YOU FORGETTING AND THATS RE-LEGION IS A RENDERRING OVER AFRICAN SPIRITUALITY AND THE OPPRESSOR PRACTICES IT WITH RITUALS AND ADORNMENT EVERWHERE SO WHY ARE THEY USING OUR TRUTH AND NOT THEIR OWN???

[@shortymono]

@@escarlit I’m not the enemy. You said exactly what I said. Me using “black magic” to refer to Obeah isn’t speaking any volumes to anything. Once you’re dealing with spirituality, dark magic is possible, even in Christianity. I’m not saying one is great or lesser than the other. You’re revealing your insecurities a tad bit more, brethren. Maybe you would feel more secure in me saying Christianity/black magic. How’s that sir? Didn’t mean to offend the Obeah community….

[@shortymono]

@ we are all victims of something. At some point we are certain of our spirituality (whatever it may be) or we aren’t. The gripe against Christianity and those that spread is getting boring. Worship who you want, you don’t have the chains on anymore. You are free! I set you free!!

[@escarlit]

@@shortymono once again your language is very telling. this isn't about victimhood, it's about history. you haven't truly engaged with what i said at all. your response is reactive and emotionally charged but i'm insecure? that's rich... learn how to have an intellectual exchange without getting triggered. that includes choosing your words more carefully so that your inevitable biases don't pollute your points. black magic refers specifically to the dark arts. it's not magic performed by members of the diaspora. calling obeah black magic as a non-black person makes you appear ignorant. characterizing imperialists as "conquerors" makes you appear proud-of what i don't know. there is no glory in subjugating other humans and divorcing them from their belief systems for power. in relationships, that's called abuse. get your cognition and communication skills up..

[@markatingi8645]

the spirit world is one but the differences are cultural.

[@elamaroon8316]

Who is he? Where can I hear more of him?

[@n0vemba9]

And then Myal became Revivalism. Slave owners were ok with it because it rose against Obeah. Also Kumina was another religion that got merged with Myal when some indentured workes from the Congo came here.

Not only indigenous, the Fulani maroons were there and worked obeah and witchcraft all over the world. Obeah is not a religion it was practice in the days of jesus and his disciples and these were the same people. Africams did not come Jamaica theu just enslaved the maroons in the Caribbean.

[@marissarichards1794]

[@tiffanyjackson4025]

They did it because they could, to show you who's in control

[@patricktaylor5802]

It's not that it's real. It's that the people believe that it is real.

[@donnyd9372]

No ratings that you deleted my comment. Shows how powerful them words were. All power is for the creator.

[@kreativeforce532]

1:21 Incorrect. Obeah or obia is an alternate pronounciation of dibia which is the preist-herbalist of ndi Igbo. The appropriately name for the practice is Omenala; as it is on the land, or Odinani; as per tradition. It is lacking nothing in its original African form and requires no combination with anything indian to be whole. Nor are said African spiritual systems completely compatible with native americans. What we see African diasporans doing is not a mixture of the two as many profess, but African in a non-African environment. So there are substitutions using local items only when an African import can not be sourced. Such things can be sourced today so there is no longer any justification for substitutions nor relying on native/euro new age paraphernalia & concepts.

[@Mia-yp9yd]

Is that an African perspective seeking to tell a people of mixed bloodlines what they must do to become more African? Why would they do such a thing if they are affirming what works for them? Are you looking down at their evolutions and innovations as inferior or inadequate? Or are you a purist claiming that African traditions are "pure" and superior and must be followed by mixed people in order for mixed people's practices to be "correct"? Is that what you are saying? Do Jamaicans' and other "black" "diaspora" peoples' practices work for them? If they say yes, then why should they change their traditions to suit another?

[@And-lodw]

You are also right but It's more complex than that. It's not only one thing, the process of colonization and the slave trade went on for centuries, with different cycles and different contexts. I don't know about Jamaica, but in Brazil there are many spiritual practices with different ranges and types of mixture between different african, indigenous and european traditions. This not internet speculation, If you know and live these traditions it's very clear. No big deal either, the culture is alive and communities are taking care of ancestry and deities. The troubles the traditions face come from so many pressures from modern society, prejudice, christian fanatics and now misinformation from the internet and vulgarization of traditions.

[@Nkosi766]

What is the mayal spiritual system? Are the Tainos Mayans ?

It’s called programming man!

In The Atlantic slave trade the slave ships where called Jesus Joseph and Mary and fort Jesus was were they sold them

[@HebrewsvJohnv]

Big up to breda Alex but separately Jesus was not driving or captaining dem deh ship, the Transatlantic slave trade is a concoction of the Pope and Henry the Navigator and the Pope is a false substitute Christ, Matthew ch 24 tells you to beware of false Christ.

[@bobbypheenix6501]

Maybe it’s just a law against rebellion

If it was real they could not outlaw it can you see clearly

[@jccjjccj3305]

Obeah is not banned in the uk, you can bring any obeah charm to a court case in the uk. Obeah is as real as a man walking on water

[@Q.BillzUnsensored]

I’m so glad yu covered this lol cause I argue bout this all the time! 😅 they sure let them HATIANs KEEP theirs ALSO! So ! We know who the REAL MAROONS AND GANGTAS WERE/ARE!!! ASÈ 🤞🏽💜

[@simonjusticier333]

That's where you're wrong, the Haitians kept their African spirituality and didn't seek anyone's permission or validity and don't allow Europeans to demonize their African. religion.

[@MasterShredda]

Yea and look at Haiti 🤣🤣‼️🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️

[@susandevignes7299]

You mean the Haitians deal with them ass with their spiritual techniques , and for that they kept Haiti from prospering with sanctions and all types of nonsence

[@malcomxism]

What happened in Haiti was a victory of African spirituality against Europe and the Church (Christianity) by extension. That is how the Africans in Haiti were able to safeguard their spirituality. Ashe or Awoshe Nago.

[@And-lodw]

​What happened in Haiti was a revolution. Haiti is the way It is right now because the U.S. and other western countries have put economic, political and military pressure on the country ever since, even intervening to destabilize and financing internal dissension.

[@FreespiritRbelle]

Most of those alleged Africans were actually swarthy or "black" Europeans from the Inquisition . Same as the colonists invaders many of whom were swarthy.

[@Happey67]

This is the question. If Obeah was real why are so many Caribbean People impoverished, lack good medicine and have so many children for so many different partners. How come? SMH! Get real okay. Obeah the man to love and marry you and be a good example for the children at least. Stop putting crap on the internet.

[@ahhmeeman]

@@Happey67 WHY DONT U ASK THE GOVERNMENT IT USES AFRICAN SPIRITUALITY SYMBOLS ON ITS MONEY ITS BUILDINGS ITS SHAPED ITS RE-LEGION AROUND IT I MEAN WHAT IS RE-LEGION SUPPOSED TO BE ANYWAY THE FACT U ONLY SHOWED UP FOR AFRICAN SPIRITUALITY PROVES U BEEN CONDITIONED BY A YT JESUS AND ARE MENTALLY ENSLAVED THE SCALES ON THE COURTS THE PYRAMIDS ON THE MONEY THE EYE ON THE MONEY FREEMASONRY PRAYING WHAT MAKES U SEE ALL THAT AS DIFFERENT = THE DO NOT GO TO THE FORBIDDEN ZONE PLANET OF THE APES PSY OP ON U IS WHAT DOES

[@waydemcdonald7748]

Things don't work exactly like that

[@smith6777]

Island ppl* the carribean is sea water not a country

[@kwamebull]

Obeah is a GHANA akan word, which means WOMAN. The Jamaican patoi is mostly made up of akan words. It's insane.

[@AAA-we2st]

Obeah is no where close to the Akan word for women lol, I’m a Fanti and the word for women sounds more like Bes-si-yaah using the English alphabet, definitely not Obeah.

[@kwamebull]

@AAA-we2st the Akyems and the Ashanti say Obeah

[@Mark-j9d8r]

Well, a good 15 to 20 percent of our Jamaican brethren came from Ghana. So is it any wonder that they maintained some of the words, proverbs and attitudes of the Akan? However they alone fought for their freedom so we can claim nothing. Only admire and honour them. The Abeyi- For, are the female priesthood. The Ideyefo are the male Priesthood. Obaa (Woman) is pronounced differently among our sister dialects. And what most brothers and sisters over in Jamaica call Obeah (Obayi) isn't actually that but a combination of different disciplines like Ifa or Voodoo. Basically any African religion/ritual is called "Obeah". Real Obayi, so called Akan Obeah, like Yoruba Ifa, or Ewe Voodoo is not really a practice anyone can do. It depends on your bloodline as you probably know. The real Akan Abayifor and Ideyefo in Jamaica you wil rarely see as they never talk. It's an ability assigned to us by Amen (Onyame) utilising the energy of RA (Onyankupong) carried in the blood. Tumi as we call it or Ase as the Yoruba call it is passed down generation to generation. In our case dating back to the time we once ruled Egypt and then beyond into forgotten history. The Armana (Amanoh) Family clan who created and ruled Egypt (Kemet), like Menes (Menu), Khuffu ( Khuffour/Akufu), Menkuare (Menka/ Amanquare), Seti (Sechi), Djedkare (Gyakari), Akhunaten (Akenten), TutMose (Tutu Mose), Tahakwa (Tarkwa), Tutankhamun (Tutu Ancoma), Kafre (Afre) and so on are who's names?. Does Nfefe still not mean beautiful. Does Titi not still mean here or right here?..So Nefertiti, (Beauty has come) is who's language?! The ancestors in the fields of peace (Asamando) Our Nananom Asamanfor, Or the Yoruba Egungun, or the Ewe Kuvito and so on are the ones who distribute this energy from the Astral plains. So if we or any of our Brothers and Sisters over in "Yard" or the W.I in general, who seek the wisdom of the ancestors and the correct Ancestral practice to follow be it Obayi, Ifa JuJu, Grigri, Wanga etc must create an Ancestral shrine and then call upon the Good ancestors ONLY to guide them. As we all have negative ancestors hanging around who were barred from returning to the Fields. I know Jamaican Obeah practitioners understand all about bad spirits. The Ancestors of Egypt are calling in this new age for us all to return to our authentic religion. And to discard to he Abrahamic idiocy deliberately designed to separate us from the Neteru aka Abosom, Orishas, Vodun, Etc. Sorry for preaching but the Ancestors wish to be heard. Me chyai mu. (I greet you).

[@smith6777]

The only direct teo words I know is abeng and the meaning remained same

[@Mark-j9d8r]

@@smith6777 I think there's more than that friend...Mi si- (I said), Mi a ba - (Me a com), A hay ya (Ah' right here so), Byere Pun-(Puna/Fat Yam), Kumfa (Okomfo /Priest), Passa Passa (Basa Basa) Duppy- (Adompe), Nanny (Nana), Accompong - (Onyankupong/RA). There are many words and phrases used by maroons and the people of Jamaica still used in Ghana. The Akan proverbs, the stories of Anansi, Some of the ritual dances and drum patterns for calling in the Abosom/ Nature spirits, which followed them from Ghana, are still in use today. I had very close mates who were Maroons back in the 80s/90s and their attitude and mannerisms of speech are still very similar.

@blazeforever ​ Black people were in the island before the Spanish/Columbus. Moors ruled Spain for 800 years before Christianity too hold in Europe when the Moors were forced out of Spain alot of them were shipped to the island. Jamaica 's original Black are Moorish second set are Isrealites and others

[@blazeforever]

@blazeforever Africa is the beginning of everything, including religion, Abraham. Hebrew, Israelite, is a black man, ham literally meaning black. First born son Ishmail, who was banished with his mother, Ishmael, son of Abraham, is the father of Muslims. All of Africa is originally black, including the Sahara all of israel, palestine are originally black people

[@sharkwaters-xb9kc]

@jahmekmi2165 so why didn't we obeah our way out of slavery?
