We Fear What We Don’t Understand: The TRUTH About Obeah, Voodoo & Santería (Uncovered)

In a striking revelation that challenges centuries of misunderstanding, a new conversation about African spiritual practices—Obeah, Voodoo, and Santería—has ignited urgent discussions across social media. A recent viral video featuring Jamaican dancehall star Valiant, who expressed a fear of marrying a woman involved in Obeah, has amplified the dialogue. Alongside this, the reality TV show “Love and Hip Hop Miami” showcased a dramatic moment where a character sought to lift a curse, raising eyebrows and questions about the cultural significance of these practices.

From November 14th to 21st, a pivotal journey to Ghana is being organized, urging participants to walk the paths of their ancestors, acknowledging the brutal history of slavery. This trip is not just a vacation; it’s a chance to confront the powerful legacy of African spirituality that has been buried under colonial oppression and misrepresentation for centuries.

Obeah, often misconceived as witchcraft, is a complex system of healing and ancestral work rooted in West African traditions. Santería, emerging from Cuba, intricately blends African and Catholic elements. Both practices were outlawed during slavery, as they represented a form of resistance and empowerment for enslaved Africans. Yet, the cultural stigma surrounding them remains deeply ingrained, fueled by misinformation and a legacy of fear instilled through colonial narratives.

The urgency of this conversation cannot be overstated. The fear surrounding these practices is not inherent; it has been taught and perpetuated, often leading to a disconnection from ancestral roots. As more individuals confront their fears and seek the truth behind these spiritual systems, a movement is emerging to reclaim these traditions as sources of healing and self-identity.

The time has come to unpack the misconceptions and embrace the rich heritage that Obeah, Voodoo, and Santería offer. As we look to the past, we must ask ourselves: why have we been taught to fear our own ancestry? The awakening is here—will you join the movement?
