Podcasts about Obeah

This episode explores the role of protection magic as a historically grounded response to war, oppression, and systemic violence across diverse cultural and temporal contexts.Drawing on peer-reviewed academic sources, it examines how magical practices—rituals, talismans, verbal formulae, and spirit invocations—have been used as forms of spiritual defence and political resistance. From Mesopotamian anti-witchcraft rites and Greco-Roman defensive curses to medieval Christian amulets, Renaissance grimoires, and the Magical Battle of Britain, the lecture situates protection magic within broader religious, social, and cosmological frameworks.Special attention is given to non-Western and postcolonial contexts, including the ritual technologies of Haitian Vodou during the revolution, Obeah in the British Caribbean, Yoruba warrior rites, and Andean protective ceremonies. The discussion also considers contemporary expressions of magical protection, including digital activist magic, Chaos Magic, and the esoteric disciplines of Damien Echols under carceral conditions.CONNECT & SUPPORT

Cubah Cornwallis (c. 1700s) was a Jamaican nurse who lived from the mid to late 18th century until 1848. Cubah was likely born into slavery, but eventually gained her freedom and settled in Port Royal, opening a lodging house that doubled as an early hospital. She was known throughout the port city for her healing techniques that nursed many naval officers back to health. Her methods drew from Obeah tradition and practice. Cubah is considered one of the foremothers of modern nursing practice. For Further Reading: A Week at Port Royal by Richard Hill Black History Month: Who was ‘Queen of Kingston’ Cubah Cornwallis?

This month, we’re talking about cultivators — women who nurtured, cross-pollinated, experimented, or went to great lengths to better understand and protect the natural world. History classes can get a bad rap, and sometimes for good reason. When we were students, we couldn’t help wondering... where were all the ladies at? Why were so many incredible stories missing from the typical curriculum? Enter, Womanica. On this Wonder Media Network podcast we explore the lives of inspiring women in history you may not know about, but definitely should. Every weekday, listeners explore the trials, tragedies, and triumphs of groundbreaking women throughout history who have dramatically shaped the world around us. In each 5 minute episode, we’ll dive into the story behind one woman listeners may or may not know–but definitely should. These diverse women from across space and time are grouped into easily accessible and engaging monthly themes like Educators, Villains, Indigenous Storytellers, Activists, and many more. Womanica is hosted by WMN co-founder and award-winning journalist Jenny Kaplan. The bite-sized episodes pack painstakingly researched content into fun, entertaining, and addictive daily adventures.

In today's Lecture, Rev. Renaldo Mckenzie continues exploring currents that have shaped the position of the Caribbean today stemming from Colonization, but switch gears to Postcolonialism, and the lingering effects of Colonialism. The Lecture delves into the concept of postcolonialism and discusses how Caribbean people's disdain for African Traditions such as Obeah reflects the lingering effects of colonialism. The class spent several minutes debating whether #obeah is evil as many students challenged the professor's position on African traditions and the need to have open discussions without European ethnocentrism. The class was deeply intense and the students and Professor spoke passionate about current attitudes towards African Spirituality.This Lecture and the Lecture series is offered Jamaica Theological Seminary in the Humanities Department and the Lecture is delivered by Rev.

Documentary films such as Life and Debt, and Caribbean Post-Colonial Skeptics such as Ramesh Ramsarwan and David Witter argue that the Caribbean's position of dependency and unstable development is a result of Structural Adjustment policies imposed by Post Industrial countries of the Global North. However, some argue that Caribbean Politicians and leaders were weak-kneed and lacked vision while others such as Prof. Trevor Monroe of the National Integrity Agency in a 2014 documentary film entitled: “Combatting Corruption in Jamaica” blamed political mismanagement of funds and corruption as slowing Jamaica's development. Write an essay making a case for what you believe is responsible for Jamaica's and the Caribbean position today as dependent, vulnerable, and uncompetitive states. The Lecture is delivered by Rev.

ENCORE EPISODE: Black Women, Black Love Finally, a female voice on how black love has come to the state that it is currently in by looking back to see how we got here. Join me for this in-depth discussion regarding Dr. Dianne Stewart's' book, Black Women, Black Love: America's War on African American Marriage. We go beyond just being enslaved, we cover her (and others) research from true stories via The Slave Narratives and other's biographies, and even the U.S. pension files, on how America has methodically done everything possible to keep black love as far apart and as shallow as possible from slavery up through today. THIS is a book that should be read by all! Dr. Stewart's Bio: Dianne Marie Stewart is a professor of Religion and African American Studies at Emory University specializing in African-heritage religious cultures in the Caribbean and the Americas. She was born in Kingston, Jamaica, and grew up in Hartford, CT, USA.  She obtained her B.A. degree from Colgate University in English and African American Studies, her Masters of Divinity degree from Harvard Divinity School, and her Ph.D. degree in systematic theology from Union Theological Seminary in New York City, where she studied with well-known scholars such as Delores Williams, James Washington, and her advisor James Cone. Dr. Stewart joined Emory's Faculty of Arts and Sciences in 2001 and teaches courses in the graduate and undergraduate programs. Dr. Stewart's research has been supported by the Fulbright Scholar Program, the Abraham J. and Phyllis Katz Foundation, and other prestigious fellowships and institutions. She is the author of numerous scholarly articles and chapters, as well as three monographs—Three Eyes for the Journey: African Dimensions of the Jamaican Religious Experience (Oxford University Press, 2005), Black Women, Black Love: America's War on African American Marriage (Seal Press, 2020) and Obeah, Orisa and Religious Identity in Trinidad: Africana Nations and the Power of Black Sacred Imagination – Orisa, Volume II (Duke University Press, October 2022). She is also a founding co-editor, with Drs. Jacob Olupona and Terrence Johnson, of the Religious Cultures of African and African Diaspora People series at Duke University Press. Over her career at Emory, Dr. Stewart has won several awards including the Emory Williams Distinguished Undergraduate Teaching Award, the Emory College of Arts and Sciences' Distinguished Advising Award, and the Emory University Laney Graduate School's Eleanor Main Graduate Faculty Mentor Award. However, Dr. Stewart is most proud of her leadership of Emory's Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship Program, an international initiative that aims to diversify the academy by helping students from underrepresented racial/ethnic groups to earn the Ph.D. degree and secure faculty positions at tertiary institutions across the United States and South Africa.

This is a continuation of a Lecture we released for the Podcast and YouTube Channel yesterday. This is part 2 of Caribbean Thought Lecture 9, entitled, Should Theology Transcend Culture? Exploring Attitudes Towards Afro-Caribbean Beliefs and Traditions in Jamaica and the Caribbean and its diaspora. We picked up from where we left off. Part 1 is available on #TheNeoliberalRound Podcast and discusses the following: 1. Should Theology Transcend Culture? 2. Is the #haitian treaty with #kenya legal and binding? 3. What opportunities does #artificialintelligence provide for the #caribbean? 3b. And what are the challenges? #CaribbeanThought Lecture 9 at Jamaica Theological Seminary. https://open.spotify.com/episode/4gDQANFiM8yBvqfcvSd1x8?si=d___uUIkSGW5ga-CyhIUuA on Spotify or any stream. Part 2, is a debate between the professor and some students about Afro-Caribbean Beliefs and whether or not the Jamaican government should legalize the practice of Obeah which is an Afro-Caribbean tradition utilized in some religions such as the Revivalists. Voodoo is a version of Obeah and was never meant to harm but to draw on the power of ancestors to fight the Europeans who were opposed to Obeah and other Afro-Caribbean traditions of the slaves. The British like the French outlawed many African traditions including Obeah. We discussed this highly divisive contentious issue in part 2 of the lecture which was done in one sitting but we split it up in two as the Lecture was over 3 1/2 hours. we have had previous lectures on the subject which can be accessed via The Neoliberal Round Channel Playlists: Caribbean Thought Lecture Series.

This culminates the Lecture exploring the changing attitudes towards Afro-Caribbean Beliefs at Jamaica Theological Seminary on July 23, 2023. Renaldo provided a powerful climax to the lecture exploring Caribbean Theology and the need to value Caribbean traditions of any influence. The Lecture delivered via the Zoom platform was dynamic and is infused with African drums, reggae music, and classical music in the backgrounds with added images and videos in the background to enhance your listening/viewing experience. Prof. McKenzie discusses with his class the importance and parameters of the study that is being conducted. Abstract: Research Plan: On Valuing African Identity through religious affirmations of African traditions. By examining changing attitudes towards Afro-Caribbean beliefs in Jamaica, this study aims to shed light on the impact of socio-political factors, religion, education, pop culture, travel experiences, and exposure on the evolving perceptions of Jamaicans. The findings will contribute to a deeper understanding of how societal changes influence cultural attitudes, promoting inclusivity, tolerance, and cultural heritage preservation. Ultimately, this research aims to encourage a more informed and respectful dialogue surrounding Afro-Caribbean beliefs in Jamaican society. Note: See attachment for Research Rationale in a proposal document. Introduction: Title: Exploring Changing Attitudes towards Afro-Caribbean Beliefs in Jamaica: A Study of Socio-Political, Religious, and Cultural Influences Introduction In Jamaica, there has historically been a negative perception towards African and indigenous spiritual practices, religious beliefs, customs, and faiths that draw influences from Urban Indian Heritage or African traditions. Rastafarianism, Obeah, Voodoo, Pocomania or pocco church, revivalists, and Muslim beliefs have often been marginalized, deemed as fringe, demonic, and unpopular, juxtaposed against the inherited traditions from European colonialism. The Judeo-Christian faith, such as Roman Catholicism, Protestantism, and evangelicalism, has been favored and considered closer to the truth and the ideal. However, in the 21st century, with increased exposure, awareness, critical thinking, and a more liberal lifestyle, particularly among the younger generation, it is crucial to investigate whether attitudes towards Afro-Caribbean beliefs are changing. This study aims to explore the shifting attitudes of Jamaicans and the factors contributing to these changes, considering demographics....The full study is available at ResearchGate: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/372364213_Exploring_Changing_Attitudes_towards_Afro-Caribbean_Beliefs_in_JamaicaCaribbean_A_Study_of_Socio-Political_Religious_and_Cultural_Influences Renaldo McKenzie is an Adjunct Professor at Jamaica Theological Seminary and has Lectured several courses including Caribbean Theology and Caribbean Thought, Apologetics, Christian History and Discipleship and Evangelism.

These testimonies keep proving how merciful and underserving we are when it comes to God's mercy. Sister Prudence grew in church but was never able to find what she was looking for. This caused her to continuously backslid and go back to partying. Sister Prudence was a party/dancehall machine! What she did not know was that one day, she was going to have a near death experience. One evening, sister Prudence was kidnapped and brought in a bush in Jamaica. These kidnappers has zip ties wrapped around her wrist, a big knife that would be able cut a human's head off and a man who was going to do it. The kidnapper kept on going back and forth wondering if he should kill sister Prudence or not. Can you imagine, you are in a backsliding state, filled with the Holy Ghost, not right with God and a kidnapper is telling you 1 moment that he is going to kill you, and another moment that he won't kill you over and over? He was contemplating to kill sister Prudence so much that she made it up in her mind to accept death and that the kidnapper should just get over with it.... What happened? As the kidnapper finally made his verdict, he decided to let sister Prudence go. How so? Nothing but the underserving mercy of God. Today sister Prudence has been walking in the Truth of God over a decade and has not slow down since. I keep telling you, there is no such thing as "luck". Wherever we are today, it is only by the mercy of God. Keep sister Prudence, her family, myself and my family in prayer so that we can continue to strive and hold on to God's unchanging hand in this hard holy way. Let's continue keep the apostle, his family, the faithful ministering brethren, their families, the sick, the afflicted and one another in prayer.

In this project, Elena Guzman explored the way Black women and non-binary people through the Caribbean and its diaspora use spiritual and ritual performance within African Diasporic Religions, including Santeria, Haitian Vodou, Puerto Rican Espiritismo, 21 Divisions, and Obeah, as a means to forge interstitial geographies of the African diaspora. Elena Guzman is an Afro-Boricua filmmaker, educator, and scholar raised in the Bronx with deep roots in the LES. She received her PhD in Anthropology from Cornell University and is an Assistant Professor in the African American and African Diaspora Studies Department and Anthropology at Indiana University Bloomington. Her manuscript, "Chimera Geographies: Black Feminist Borderland Performances," focuses on the way Black women and non-binary people throughout the African diaspora use ritual performance in African diaspora religion as a means to forge Black feminist borderlands through spiritual crossings. Her work has been published in Feminist Anthropology, NACLA, and Cultural Anthropology's Screening Room. This event took place October 31, 2023.

If there is one thing that draws a considerable amount of controversy within contemporary magic, it is the blatant act of evoking Demons. It has been called many things but for simplicity's sake, Nigromancy seems historically specific enough. And yet, the practice of Nigromancy is long tenured throughout not just western ritual magic but many other spiritual traditions as well. One who has experience in both realms, is the Sorcerer and author Julio Cesar Ody.

As part of a month-long series on Fabulous Folklore about magical practice and witchcraft in the 21st century, I'm chatting to Emma Kathryn, a Nottinghamshire-based practitioner of non-Wiccan Traditional British Witchcraft, Obeah and Vodou. We discuss the importance of the land to witchcraft and magical practices, why magical practices don't need to cost a lot of money, how witchcraft can be used as a tool of resistance, and why divination is a life skill!

Prof. Renaldo McKenzie delivered a powerful final Lecture in Caribbean Thought that was climactic at Jamaica Theological Seminary, exploring Walter Rodney's Struggle for Democracy in Guyana exploring how this struggle for democracy and independence continues even today throughout postcolonial countries of the global south. Rev. McKenzie explained that Walter Rodney, a renowned historian and socialist from Guyana, was not only known for his academic work but also as a political leader. He was an active member of the Working People's Alliance (WPA) and a critic of the authoritarian Forbes Burnham dictatorship. Burnham, though claiming to be socialist, maintained a repressive regime in Guyana and had friendly ties with the United States. He held power through rigged elections and suppression of opposition parties and trade unions. Rodney, aware of the risks, chose to work within Guyana to bring about change. He was assassinated in 1980, drawing international condemnation from figures like Michael Manley, Maurice Bishop, and Fidel Castro. In his essay, written before his death, Rodney analyzed the nature of the Burnham dictatorship, exposing its corruption, incompetence, and tactics for consolidating power. He criticized the regime's personality cult and its attempts to appear as a democracy while suppressing fundamental rights. Renaldo raised and expounded on questions that Mr. Rodney seem to be answering in his Essay via Jacobin magazine: 1. Question: How can the working class challenge the Burnham dictatorship and assert its power? 2. Question: What is the significance of civil disobedience and non-cooperation in the struggle for liberation? 3. Question: How can national unity be achieved in Guyana, given its diverse racial and class divisions? 4. Question: What is the alternative to the Burnham dictatorship, and how can the people reclaim their rights and restore democracy? 5. Question: How can resistance be sustained against the violence and intimidation of the dictatorship? Prof. McKenzie concluded this section of the Lecture with a summary, "Rodney's essay explores essential questions related to working-class power, national unity, and the path towards liberation in Guyana. His answers highlight the historical lessons of collective labor actions, civil disobedience, and the need for a government of national unity as a clear alternative to the oppressive dictatorship. He calls for a united and determined effort to reclaim democracy and build a just and equitable society for all Guyanese." Part 2 of the Lecture: Afro-Caribbean Beliefs: Prof. McKenzie then shifts gears to explore Afro-Caribbean Beliefs in Jamaica and to discuss a study that the class will be embarking on to ascertain how Caribbean people's attitudes towards their Afro-Caribbean Beliefs are changing. Rev. McKenzie discussed Afro Caribbean Beliefs especially those in Jamaica: According to Rev. McKenzie, "in Jamaica, there has historically been a negative perception towards African and indigenous spiritual practices, religious beliefs, customs, and faiths that draw influences from Urban Indian Heritage or African traditions. Rastafarianism, Obeah, Voodoo, Pocomania or pocco church, revivalists, and Muslim beliefs have often been marginalized, deemed as fringe, demonic, and unpopular, juxtaposed against the inherited traditions from European colonialism. The Judeo-Christian faith, such as Roman Catholicism, Protestantism, and evangelicalism, has been favored and considered closer to the truth and the ideal. However, in the 21st century, with increased exposure, awareness, critical thinking, and a more liberal lifestyle, particularly among the younger generation, it is crucial to investigate whether attitudes towards Afro-Caribbean beliefs are changing.

My guest for this episode is witch and author Emma Kathryn. Emma has had an interest in witchcraft from an early age and her practise has developed to include a combination of british magical traditions with the afro-caribbean ones of Myal and Obeah. She has written books such as Reclaiming Ourselves, Reclaiming Food, Wild Witchcraft and Witch Life and champions the positive relationships that can exist between people and nature through an interest in the supernatural. I begin the interview by asking how her interest in witchcraft started and developed over time with the mixing of different magical systems. From there we talk about the path that she followed to becoming an Obeah woman, some of the deities she works with as part of that and the relationship and differences between Obeah and Myal. We also discuss our shared interest in animism, and how immersing yourself in the natural landscape can bring about a deeper connection with the other.

Finally, a female voice on how black love has come to the state that it is currently in by looking back to see how we got here. Join me for this in-depth discussion regarding Dr. Dianne Stewart's' book, Black Women, Black Love: America's War on African American Marriage. We go beyond just being enslaved, we cover her (and others) research from true stories via The Slave Narratives and other's biographies, and even the U.S. pension files, on how America has methodically done everything possible to keep black love as far apart and as shallow as possible from slavery up through today. Dr. Dianne M. Stewart's Bio: Dianne Marie Stewart is a professor of Religion and African American Studies at Emory University specializing in African-heritage religious cultures in the Caribbean and the Americas. She was born in Kingston, Jamaica, and grew up in Hartford, CT, USA.  She obtained her B.A. degree from Colgate University in English and African American Studies, her Masters of Divinity degree from Harvard Divinity School, and her Ph.D. degree in systematic theology from Union Theological Seminary in New York City, where she studied with well-known scholars such as Delores Williams, James Washington, and her advisor James Cone. Dr. Stewart joined Emory's Faculty of Arts and Sciences in 2001 and teaches courses in the graduate and undergraduate programs. Dr. Stewart's research has been supported by the Fulbright Scholar Program, the Abraham J. and Phyllis Katz Foundation, and other prestigious fellowships and institutions. She is the author of numerous scholarly articles and chapters, as well as three monographs—Three Eyes for the Journey: African Dimensions of the Jamaican Religious Experience (Oxford University Press, 2005), Black Women, Black Love: America's War on African American Marriage (Seal Press, 2020) and Obeah, Orisa and Religious Identity in Trinidad: Africana Nations and the Power of Black Sacred Imagination – Orisa, Volume II (Duke University Press, October 2022). She is also a founding co-editor, with Drs. Jacob Olupona and Terrence Johnson, of the Religious Cultures of African and African Diaspora People series at Duke University Press. Over her career at Emory, Dr. Stewart has won several awards including the Emory Williams Distinguished Undergraduate Teaching Award, the Emory College of Arts and Sciences' Distinguished Advising Award, and the Emory University Laney Graduate School's Eleanor Main Graduate Faculty Mentor Award. However, Dr. Stewart is most proud of her leadership of Emory's Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship Program, an international initiative that aims to diversify the academy by helping students from underrepresented racial/ethnic groups to earn the Ph.D. degree and secure faculty positions at tertiary institutions across the United States and South Africa.

In The Deepest Dye: Obeah, Hosay, and Race in the Atlantic World (Harvard University Press, 2021), Aisha Khan explores how colonial categories of race and religion together created identities and hierarchies that today are vehicles for multicultural nationalism and social critique in the Caribbean and its diasporas. When the British Empire abolished slavery, Caribbean sugar plantation owners faced a labor shortage. To solve the problem, they imported indentured “coolie” laborers, Hindus and a minority Muslim population from the Indian subcontinent. Indentureship continued from 1838 until its official end in 1917. The Deepest Dye begins on post-emancipation plantations in the West Indies—where Europeans, Indians, and Africans intermingled for work and worship—and ranges to present-day England, North America, and Trinidad, where colonial-era legacies endure in identities and hierarchies that still shape the post-independence Caribbean and its contemporary diasporas. Aisha Khan focuses on the contested religious practices of obeah and Hosay, which are racialized as “African” and “Indian” despite the diversity of their participants. Obeah, a catch-all Caribbean term for sub-Saharan healing and divination traditions, was associated in colonial society with magic, slave insurrection, and fraud. This led to anti-obeah laws, some of which still remain in place. Hosay developed in the West Indies from Indian commemorations of the Islamic mourning ritual of Muharram. Although it received certain legal protections, Hosay's mass gatherings, processions, and mock battles provoked fears of economic disruption and labor unrest that led to criminalization by colonial powers. The proper observance of Hosay was debated among some historical Muslim communities and continues to be debated now. In a nuanced study of these two practices, Aisha Khan sheds light on power dynamics through religious and racial identities formed in the context of colonialism in the Atlantic world, and shows how today these identities reiterate inequalities as well as reinforce demands for justice and recognition. Aisha Khan is Associate Professor of Anthropology at New York University. She is a cultural anthropologist whose research interests focus on the ways that race and religion intersect in the Atlantic world, particularly in the production of identities and political culture. Her work also is concerned with Asian and African diasporas in the Americas, indenture as a system of labor, the carceral state, and the prison industrial complex. She has published in numerous journals and anthologies. Her other books include Callaloo Nation: Metaphors of Race and Religious Identity among South Asians in Trinidad (Duke University Press, 2004) and Islam and the Americas (University Press of Florida, 2015). She has also been awarded fellowships from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study. Aleem Mahabir is a PhD candidate in Geography at the University of the West Indies, Mona, Jamaica. His research interests lie at the intersection of Urban Geography, Social Exclusion and Psychology.

In a nuanced study of these two practices, Aisha Khan sheds light on power dynamics through religious and racial identities formed in the context of colonialism in the Atlantic world, and shows how today these identities reiterate inequalities as well as reinforce demands for justice and recognition. Aisha Khan is Associate Professor of Anthropology at New York University. She is a cultural anthropologist whose research interests focus on the ways that race and religion intersect in the Atlantic world, particularly in the production of identities and political culture. Her work also is concerned with Asian and African diasporas in the Americas, indenture as a system of labor, the carceral state, and the prison industrial complex. She has published in numerous journals and anthologies. Her other books include Callaloo Nation: Metaphors of Race and Religious Identity among South Asians in Trinidad (Duke University Press, 2004) and Islam and the Americas (University Press of Florida, 2015). She has also been awarded fellowships from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study.
