Yuh should a si de mount piapah weh fly when babylon queen come to vistit Jamaica. But when it was time to receive de petition it was only de rastas that were excluded from all the groups that were allowed to give de baba-queen papers.

Suku Yuh fight yuh carna gal....... Yuh right... The idea freedom of religion has long been a misnomer. I have felt that both obeah and the Rasta's are afforded greater respect in the UK than in where they have come from...... They may not be recongised as religions but they are neither treat with the disdain as in Jamaica....

sometimes when you certify somehing it loses some of its power over people. i think obeah would lose a lot of its mystique if you start see obeahooman cerfiticket pon wall.[/qb]

A who a go issue dem deh cerfitiket? Di govament? Di medical association? Di council o' churches?

Mi can jis see it:

"The Ministry of Education
under the provisions of Act 12 of 200x
hereby certifies that

E...... T........, having satisfied the requirements of the Examining Board
is qualified as an
Obeahwoman (1st Class)
With all the rights and privileges
thereunto appertaining."[/qb]

Lawx, Fledgist, a how you juss a broadcast me secret ambition so, lol! becoming knowledgeable in the mystical arts and rites is one of my dreams...an a no wishy washy govament course me want doah, a de real deal. me shouldaan check Mr. Seaga, no true...

True story:

Back in 1981, Percy Broderick, then Minister of Agriculture, declared in a speech that if necessary he would employ an obeahman to fix the problems of Jamaican agriculture. Shortly after that, I ran into him (not knowing him personally) and said 'Minister, I hear you're looking for an obeahman.' 'Yes, and you look perfect.' So I guess I'm qualified.

As others as pointed out this might not be good. I know many jewelers who made a good living making Gaurd Ring for Obeahmen. Bringing it up from the underground might cut into the profits of all who depend on the industry.

I tell you what Suki..You should call the Ministry of Culture, tell them you are doing a thesis on our indigenous culture, including Obeah.
I bet you can also secure a little grant from one of the local University in your hometown, that will pay your Air Fare, when you get to Jamaica you will get first class treatment....Possibly Ambassador to Obeah...eheheee!

You can help Suki in this effort, the Prof and the ObeahOoman....DWL
