Voodoos and Obeahs
Description
Voodoos and Obeahs is a book by Joseph J. Williams, first written in 1932. This work explores the origins and development of Voodoo and Obeah, particularly in Haiti and Jamaica, tracing their roots back to African spiritual traditions.
Williams, an American Jesuit priest and missionary, examines these practices from an anthropological and historical perspective, discussing their evolution through the influences of slavery, colonialism, and cultural syncretism. The book delves into various aspects of Caribbean witchcraft and magic, including serpent worship, ritualistic practices, and the intersection of African religious beliefs with the Western world.
