Obeah
Obeah (uneori ortografiat Obi, Obeya sau Obia)[1][2] este un sistem[3][4][5] spiritual healing and justice-making[6] de practici de vindecare spirituală și de justiție care a apărut printre sclavii din Africa de Vest din Indiile de Vest.[7][8] Obeah este greu de definit, deoarece nu este un singur set unificat de practici; din punct de vedere istoric, cuvântul „Obeah” nu a fost adesea folosit pentru a descrie practicile proprii.[9]
