Folk magic, sorcery, and religious practices derived from Central African and West African origins. The practice is often associated with evil or black magic, but also used for luck, healing and love.
Derives from the beliefs of the akan peoples of ghana. The word oveah either comes from igbo obia which means doctoring or from akan obayi which means witchcraft, sorcery.

We use this term in Trinidad as well to describe black magic or bush magic, "Ah going by de obeah man for a rub down, I want a baby bad."

Listen here folks these were the practices we were doing long before the white man introduces their white god to us and I know you saw what happened after he was introduced. We need to go back to our roots. Nothing about this is scary, it has been portrayed to be seen as scary because they know the true power behind it.
