FUNDAMENTALS FOR THE CULT OF OBEAHBy: Dr. Nicholaj Frisvold

Obeah is acctually an ancient word for ”wichcraft”. The african witch is an obeahman or woman. The cult has survived in several african-derived places like Suriname, Jamaica and Trinidad. This branche of obeah is from Trinidad delivered unto a norvegian sorcerer by the shepherd Karelius deLeon priest for the Spiritual- Orisha movement in Trinidad. His line of succession again stems from one Mr. Campbell. The arch-divinity in the cult has many names, commonly he is called Bones wich is one of the many epithaps of the Prince of Darkness. He is also syncretized with the biblical prophet Ezekiel and St. Expedito. The mode of working is a mixture between shamanistic journeys and traditional witchcraft based upon mid-european and mexican brujeria. These practices governs the central core of the cult wich is often recognized as ”doing kabbalah”. To ”do kabbalah” means goethic workings and direct dealings with the Lord of demons himself. There will be enclosed a ritual for evocation of these forces in the name of Bones in this small paper. These worshippers are sometimes called ”shouters” as well. In Suriname there are a far more intact and elaborated system of apokos or spirits of obeah and information upon this will mix utterly well together with this scarce information presented in this paper. In Trinidad the main-book in the cult of Obeah is Waites ”Book of Ceremonial Magic” together with the psalms. Goethic evocations are read aloud at so-called banquetts. At the banquetts those who attend are dressed nicely and will participate in the banquette with aristocratic manners. There are one or two ”guards” at the banquett and one ”chief of seremon”. The guards are necessary to keep violent spirits calm whenever they possess people. Sometimes spirits must be whipped to silence. Both demons and animalistic spirits are able to possess people at these banquetts. When these kabalistic spirits appear in cermons and services for other spirits it is customary to chase them away so that the ritual purity can be held intact. Also the community is quite mixed in their opinions of the kabbalah. But one thing is certain, the Obeahpriests works with the Lord of Darkness and is quite reputed for their sinister malevolent acts.

The pantheon itself is of an animalistic nature combined with the spirits of Death. The guradianspirit for this branch of the obeahcult is the spirit of a little dead girl, Abysina Clarissa of the family of Anima Sola. She is jealous and extremely fiery and seems to have all childish vices intact. Her mother was beautiful and fair but the loss of her daughter (see the Hyphostasis) turned her into a lake of pitch. This lake is still existing in Trinidad and regular offerings are brought to the spirts of the pictlake. A piece of this pitch, duly consecrated is resting in a spiritbox at the tempel of Obeah in Oslo, Norway. His has ensured a living and distinct link with the spirits of Anima Solas. Other spirits are Anansi, the spider, Morocoi, the turtle and Sapato the snake among a variety of others. It was seen as highly important by Karelius deLeon to use shamanistic techiques for obtaining contact with the different spirits, so you fast as possible get in touch

2

with the spirits that naturally have their place in your universe. Another point is that all spirits pertaining to the cult has not been discovered, so shamanistic modes of working could help acknowledge these spirts as well.

Obeah is a kind of individual witchcraft. You receive the empowerment and protection from the Prince of Darkness and then it is up to Bones to guide your witchfeet in the right direction.

INITIATION INTO THE CULT OF OBEAH

The procedure and set-up:

Place the candidate infront of a table. On the table there should be presented four candles. One big black, one red, one white and one yellow. A bottle of apricot-brandy should be presented as well. A chalice filled to the brim with apricot-brandy should be placed infront of the canditate together with the libretta. Let the candidate receite the sentence belove.

Holy Spirits of the OrishasIt is I who has come to youTo be presented for initiationWhat is my personal signThrough wich my contact With you begin?

The initiateur should then draw down the energies of Bones inside of himself and allowe himself to join into an energetic circuit with the Prince of Darkness. The candidate should be utterly receptive and draw down any sign that comes to hir mind. Often the candidate startes shaking, especially the legs, wich is a good sign indeed.

THE BASIC PROCEDURES FOR EVOCING THE SPIRITS OF GOETHIA:

You will construct a crossroad of cornmeal and place Bones in the South, Morocoi in the West, Sapato in the North and Anansi in the East. In the midquarters you will draw crosses. You can now either use the common design as in the ”Key of Solomon” or you can draw a cirle around the cross, then a line with three marks splitting it. Then a square with a circle and the design within the circle. In addition to the sigil of the demon you also must make up a kamea with flour within the square. Either of the planetary intelligence or the sign of the star representing the demon. This is to secure that you can first mildly affect the spirit by destroying the kamea if the spirits attempts to attack the obeahman. This must be done with the obeah-cane. And do not touch the sigil with the cane. This will make a instant link with the demon and will almost certainly result in possession of an extremely unkind nature.

Purification is of greatest importance, footsoles, palms, throat and head with the olive and cassia. Make a shield of my name (i.e. Bones).

Preliminary invocation:

”In the name of the most Holy and Souvereign Lord of Evil. The Master of the Houses and the spark from the Dark, say Hail! To the Prince of the Dark as I …………in the name of the black guardians of the secret lake of pitches conjure thee to rise from within the broken egg and give birthto more than mer a phantom-image in this kvadratus of infernal conjuring of Celestiality”

Chant or sing forth the name of the entity that you want to appear, using whatever mediumistic techiques desired.

Conjuring:

I present infore you the words of power. Words that bind and restrict ye to be patient and harmless infront of this servant of thy most Dark Lord.

RESINUS KARAPAMEK ZEBULON RETAS

With these words the Spell of binding is set in motion and the wheels of Hell are closing in under the fire of the Stars.

A BASIC PROCEDURE ON THE WORKING OF OBEAH DEITIES

 

 

Obeah is another word for Witchcraft related to Vodou as inherited from

8

various segments in Africa, especially Ashanti. But also from more desolateplaces and more common places like Benin and Yorubaland. The Chief of theObeah, Papa Bones is to be likened with a great Horned One situated in thecentre of a tremendous tornado. There he rests with his powers and spiritscirculating around him. Obeah is a system that operates with the forces ofAir and Fire, primerly. Papa Bones is the King of the Obeahmen, but the God,as in the creator for the followers of the voudou religion is known as Gadoor Anana (Nanà), which has a creative reflection in Anansi, the spider, that isimportant for the Obeahman. The power of the Obeahman if used to do evil isoften termed Wisi. Papa Bones is a Kromanti spirit. These spirits are knownas ³The Flying Ones² and is associated with the hot air. Together withWinti (Orishàs), the spirits of the elements and the Indyi, a form of Caboclos theengine of magic is constituted.  The female reflection of Papa Bones isknown as Aisa.  Etymologically related to Ayizan of Haiti, the GreatPythoness and the site of oracular wisdom and the Art of Dreaming. She isalso sometimes called Oduda, ²The Black One who Bleeds². This reflection isprobably to gross to possess the worshippers, but her possessive reflectionis known as Sofia Bada a kromanti spirit that induces bleeding from penisand vagina in her worshippers and particularly the Obeahman that is closeconnected to Our Beloved Anima Sola which is the messenger of this spirit.The Famly of Dogs are sacred to her. Papa Bones is King of the number seven.And seven is the kromantis that are under his direct ministry. Himself isknown as Yaw which signifies the ³Fire from Heaven². Other kromantis areOpete, he Vulture that possesses easily the Obeahman, particularly thoseObeahmen that is ruled by flying totemic forces. Adyaini, which is thejaguar. Further more are the restless and warriorlike spirits of Adumakukuand Bonwaku. Tando, Ananka and Aladi is the more pleasant manifestations ofthe kromanti and those most used by Papa Bones.  These warrior like Airspirits is also known as Dyebri and is said to work well with Indyi.

 

In addition we have spirits of the bush, like Apuku and  the spirit of theteremite-hill, Akantasi. These are wintis, or elemental spirits that can beused together with the kromanti to work wisi or obia. There are also thespirit known as Luwangu, that is the spirit of muddy waters, that is verydemanding and claims subimission and great respect when called forth. Lastlywe have the mischievous dwarf spirits called Bakru. These are earthenspirits that love trickery, alcohol and jewels.

The most common form of working with these spirits are the following simpleprocedure. You will erect a simple alter consisting of a glass of apricotbrandy, a yellow, red, black and white candle. The alter should be placed inthe centre of your working-area. Under the alter you will draw a veve whichis a simple circle with a cross in the middle. The cross should enterthrough the circle on all four edges. Draw another circle around the alter.You can use cornflour, cascarilla, pemba or whatever you use to markspirit-signs. You should have a large piece of paper ready and now you canperform the ritual two ways. In both ways alcohol (rum, gin, vodka) andcigar or pipe is necessary.

 Either with internal recitation of the chosen deities name and whilerecitation/monotone whisper you drawn signs that occurs to you in pureautomata. Or: You smoke large dozes of cigar and sprinkle the area of working with strongalcohol and of course drinking some. Start talking to the spirit in yourmothers tongue or any other language that feels natural for you to speak in.Blow cigar-smoke to the corners of the alter and the working area and shoutfor the spirit. Use whatever you know works to induce trance-state orpossession. Then allow the spirit to do what it want with the paper. Thekromanti spirit signs can be used for further workings in manner of servingas a receiver for the forces called, they can be used as charms and forhealing purposes. The sacred dices is the medium you use, ruled by thespirits known as Gwangwela and Gedehusu, the hands of Papa Bones. 

May the hot spirits of the Air bless your workings fellow Obeahmen! 

A SHORT TREATISE ON THE SPIRITS OF OBEAH

The spirits of Obeah is infinite. Papa Bones is said to consist of as many spirits himself that there are bones in the body. This fact making him so complicated by nature and essence that it is difficult to understand him as something else that a dynamic and deep vault of the power of diablerie and healing.

10

Most spirits are discovered during the initiation of the Obeahman or woman when the wild hunt are set off in order to discover what animal will be the source of power for the newly birthed Obeahista. There is however a few spirits that can be mentioned and lets start with those spirits shared by the Shango Cult of Trinidad with Obeah, since our branch was living inside of the Orisha Cult of Trinidad before it was planted in the soil of different corners of the world.

Ajajá is the Ocean, a kind of Yemaja. She is syncretised with St. Catalina. Ayakbea is the warrior coming from the Ocean and going to the forest. This spirit is alike Ochosi. Ayakbea is associated with Moises. Olopelophon is the name given to the warrior that guards every door and is somewhat alike Ogun. The spirit alike Obatala is called Elephanton, Elephon, Obalophon or Adomeh. He is syncretised with the four evangelists. Chango is sometimes referred to as Abakuso and represented by San Juan de la Cruz. The spirit of the rivers are referred to as Girebete and is similar to Ochun and associated with St. Filomena. She shares many attributes with Oya which has no name other than this. Probably because of her connection to Chango. The Ibejis are called Belelé and is representing the creative forces. Mother of the Earth is alike OrishaOko and is associated with St. Teresa and St. Veronica she is called Mahadoo and Oddua in some instances. It is said that Mahadoo is the lake of pitch that bleeds and birthed Abysina Clarissa (Anima Sola). The malicious force is called Sakpana and is associated with St. Fransiscus. Sakpana is alike BabaluAye, but more misanthropic than its yoruban origin. We have also Erale, which is alike Inle and associated with Jonas.

However the most central for us is Papa Bones associated with Ezequiel, Gabriel, San Expedito and St. Lucia. In Trinidad he is often said to be King Eshu and his day is said to be celebrated on the 17 th of april. One of the many Anima Solas, Abysina Clarissa is perhaps the most important spirit for us. Without her no messages or influx from the Father would reach us. She represents the fusion of torment and trickery, but also cleverness and deep emotions. She is a double-edged blade. She is the spirit of a little dead girl of the age of 6 or 7 – and as children are without a sense of ethic but with a sense of amusements – so can she be.

We have also other spirits of a shamanic nature. Like Morocoi, the tortoise, Sapato, the snake, Mothra, the Moth, Anansi, the Spider and even more spirits still not named, like the Wolf and the Tiger. Usually the designs or signatures of these spirits are simple figures understandable to the eye. But this is usually the work of the Obeahista, the discovery of the potencies of the power-animal, how the various spirits are alive in the life of the Obeahista and how the path of witchdom are being molded by this infusion of power.

Obeah is a significant root of witchcraft and there are no defined boundaries of spiritual work that should be done. Each group should allow its members and the cultural soil where the Obeah is being planted to feed the current. Obeah is a neutral force as far as pantheons are concerned. It

11

is witchery and as such it is primarly coloured by the geniis of nature, plants, trees, animals and the darker stratas of our own psyche… It should be kept in mind that the focus of spiritual contact in Obeah is few and simple. Papa Bones through Abysina Clarissa opens the channels to our own powers and the cosmic reflection of our natural flow of power.

The Obeah-shrine in the Polar-regions is simple. On a big flat stone there is presented a candle to St. Expedito and a figure of him. The Obeahbox together with the founding-vessel of our branch of Obeah is presented. This is a clay bottle consecrated and filled with secrets by Karelius de Leon in the time when the Obeah was passed on to Nico. The Obeah-cane is placed there as well together with a yellow and a brown candle. Also a small figure of “Dart Wader” is found in the shrine. This is just one example on how to prepare the alter arrangements. Another one can be totally different. With time the unifying element will be the Obeahbox. This asientamento of power birthed from asientamento to asientamento will serve to strengthen both the personal powers but also the global field of Obeah. Upon this single unit a variety of diversity should be encouraged and especially the colour of the culture should be allowed to mingle with Obeah. Here follows a few e-mail links that can shed some more light on what we are about.

3 Rituals worked out in The Sanctuary of The Sacred Bones, Zone of Uranus, Oslo, 2001

These rituals has been worked out in the presence of St. Expedito, Our Lord and master of the Sacred and Evil Witchery of Obeah. They have been presented in a ecclesical frame based upon fragments of teachings derived from the Unknown Master in the Woods of Trinidad and a few Ashanti-deities that works close and well with the source of Obeah. Its important that all of you who use these rituals are aware that these rituals should point the Obeahman further into their own path by becoming a receiver of the gift of Kumona, or the ability to see. Obeah is highly

12

syncretistic and everything can be a target for its arrows. Each of these rituals has been declared good by Bones, himself with the number 7-7-7 which indicates that we now will work the Kabbalah of Sorcery very well with the assistance of these rituals. In all of these rituals states of possession or semi-possession will be unavoidable. Through these rituals you will connect to three (and possibly four) vast powers that is the cornerstones of the Sorcery of Obeah, namely Bones, Anansy, Anima Sola and probably Oto. All these rituals should be done after the Obeahman has connected to his guiding-animal, be it the snake, turtle or the moth.

Okomfo Obajifo!St.Nick

MISSALE DE EZEKIEL SASABONSAM; Or the conjuration of the sorcerous Shadow-Self, A Black Mass

for the constitution of the Obeahman and for the gaining of the

powers to charge fetiches and to command the spirits of the

undead (zombee)

Preparations:

The alter should be dressed in yellow and black. A rock should be

presented, a gross, unpretty piece of stone. The master of the ritual will be

armed with his cane and on the alter there should be presented the

Obeah-Box. In this mass there is quite likely that further directions on the

work would be given and be adapted accordingly. Candles should be in the

colours yellow (left) and black (right) in the middle a small white candle

should be presented. Stretch your arms over the candles and make them

powerful declaring the following: “I am ……., a witch in the House of

Obeah and by the powers given to me from the Infernal Empire I hereby

13

declare these candles to be infused with the power of the Prince of

Darkness!”. Then take some saliva and smear the candles with it (your

saliva has now been present as the words of consecration has been said

and is at this very instant a sacred cream). You will also need a glass and

if you prefer some kind of representation of the flesh. You will use Apricot

Brandy or a sweet, fruity white wine. If you prefer to be seated or stand is

up to you. Then light the candles and pour the glass full of wine. After the

opening words has been said you also pour wine upon the rock presented.

The rock should not be consecrated, but has a alchemical function in the

ritual. Your transformation will be mirrored in the features of the rock.

Opening:

OKOMFO OBAJIFO OKOMFO OBAJIFO, by the powers and auspices of

the most high god upon the throne of the nine worlds. NYANKONPON

NYANKONPON OKOMFO OBAJIFO OKOMFO OBAJIFO NYANKONPON

ODUM!!!

First conjuration:

14

I have prostrated by flesh, blood and Bones in the centre of the world. I am

the chalice! I am the blade! I am the burning saliva of the hot undead! I

give unto the empires of the Shadow-makers my hands, feet, mouth and

eyes. Let me receive the gift of the new eyes. KUMONA AYEEJE

KUMONA AYEEJE KUMONA AYEEJE KUMONA. I have entered into,

beyond and further to the source of seeing! I am the source! I am the

scourge! Within me rests the power of the snake. Within me rests the

power of sasa. Within me rests the powers of saman. Burning self of the

nine familiar ghosts, allow me to become the gate of death, the bridge

towards my own ghostly being. Hot sasa, release from the hidden heart

the powers of obeah from the murky corners of the shadowy self and

release the powers of air from the four corners of the world as the

compass swirls into negation and back into fire and ashes. For I am the

Captain of the undead! I am the son of Nyankonpon! I am the child of

Sasabonsam! I am the breed of the Lord of Hell, the breath of Ezekiel, the

blood of Ezekiel and the Bones made Holy and whole with the blessings of

Abysina Clarissa.

Prayer:

Great Black Lord of the silken trees. I call you forth from the leaves of the

forest and deep dark woods! By your very name, Sasabonsam I scream

you forth as your name has been shouted by your church through ages

15

after ages in the desertlands of the Black Watchers. And I pray that the

doors to the infernal realm will be open!

Second conjuration:

Black eyed girl of the death from the western well. Come forth by the

sound of the sacred calling of the OBAJIFO OKOMFO. I ask that you

conjoin with the white-eyed girl of the east. Be One with the words of my

wish! ENOEB NEEBO OBEAYANYI!! (see that the spirits of dead girls are

coming forth from these direction coming towards you and then naked

they enter into a sexually oriented melting into one. See her as one. Part

dark, part white. With huge eyes, one black and one white and take notice

of what and if she do or say or give anything to you). Use the words of

power until sufficient powers has been raised

Third conjuration:

Readings from the four gospels and short honouring of the memory of the

four evangelists Matthew “: 1:1,2, Mark 1: 2,3,6, Luke. 1: 8-12, John.1: 5,

7-12 should be read and the synthesis of the four will die in your palm and

be resurrected into Bones.

16

Then take your Obeahcane, or Obeahbox in your hands and allow the

powers evoked to enter your cranium sitting or standing with your

powertool between your hands. You should rapidly oserve strange

sensations around the jaws and along the sides of the cranium. Repeat in

silence: I AM THE SON OF BONES. HIS BLOOD IS IN MY VEINS. I AM

BONES so many times as needed to enter into full melting with the

evoked forces.

At this point you can allow the possession to conclude your mass, or you

can consecrate a simple mass in the form of the host and/or wine or you

can, since you now are Bones command the Zombee-King Oto into the

ritual and conclude the ritual with giving mass to Bones and Oto in the

name of Abysina Clarissa. In this manner the two gods present will partake

of the sacraments of Anima Sola as the containers of the Sacred powers of

Obeah, in the sense where the cadaver has been raised into its needed

points of manifestation into the One.

17

There will be impossible to give any outlines on how this should be done,

since at this point your spirit is so attuned with Bones that you cant make

any mistake. Names are power and therefore the names are given.

Oto is the monstergod and King Zombi. His presidents are Macoo, Kanuba

and Kish of the House of Ashanti.

Through this the presence of Bones will be released

18

RITUAL REPTILICA de ANASAY

This ritual is important in respect of the building of the container of the

journeying Obeahman and reflects the shamanic aspect of the cult. You

will for the purpose of this ritual obtain a piece of rounded grey slate-

stone.

The stone will then be inscribed with two arrows going opposite directions

from left to right then from right to left from top to bottom and then from

bottom to the top, forming a double cross or matrice composed of four

arrows all together. Note they are to be written above each other with

approx 1 cm. Distance between each of them. This will from now on serve

as your Obeahalter in all rituals you will perform within the cult. You will

then read a short blessing from the Holy Scriptures over the stone (for

instance Psalm 40:1,2,) making the sign of the cross and the inverted

cross on it. Then turn the stone and paint the image of a gross spider on it.

A black oval shape with eight legs. Simple and black. Now you will light

four candles, one black, one red, one white and one yellow and you will

pour apricot brandy on the image of the spider and you will say the

following prayer:

Blessed be Jack Mandora, the opener of the spiders body

19

Blessed be Ntikuma Tackooma the son of the Spider

Blessed be fair and wise Crookie the spouse and mistress of the spiders

son

Come to me as I whisper silently forth the names of access

signs and words

20

And reveal to me the hidden secrets of Lord Anansay by being my guide,

light and torch in the

Infernal kingdom of spiderwytchery!

You will then whisper yourself into a trance using the various spellings of

the Spidergods name (se bellow) while focusing on the consecrated seal

on the stone until your gaze are fixed and the image lingers clear in your

mind. You will now enter through the spider and into the realm of the

infernal beings. When you enter you must first call upon your totem that

was revealed to you in the initiation and stay with it until the joining

couple Ntikuma Tackooma and Crookie are found at the secret crossroad

of yellow death in the centre of the endless landscape.

one red candle and one black candle. Kneel in front of her with eyes

closed and recount her history as a child of rape and death at a too young

age. Enter the mourning point of sorrow as breath leaves her body and the

blood quiets in her veins. Identify with this point where carnal life leaves

and the divine afflatus are entering. Allowe your breath to follow this

pattern (use only nose, mouth closed). When your body has entered a

state of total relaxation and calminty in the center of the sorrowful distress

of Anima Solas birth raise to your feet and call forth the four evangelists:

We call upon the Apostle of Transmission of the East, Matthew

We call upon the Apostle of Transmission of the South, Mark

We call upon the Apostle of Transmission of the West, Luke

We call upon the Apostle of Transmission of the North, Iohannes

Conclude with reading from Ezekiel 1:4-14

Spend a short time in meditation and be aware how the winds of the

quarters are blowing into your temple.

Reading:

Ezekiel 7: 5-11 and Song of Solomon chapter 4. These two readings being

the carrier of the essence of praise of Anima Sola, the ritually butchered

girl-child of Old, She who was ripped open by the Old Ones from the Stars.

Lection:

As the rage of the Fathers has entered down upon the Earth so will the

beauty of the Daughters be a blessing unto the priest. Just as electrical

dark and the child, the thunder and storm, will give rise to mornings fair

and blue, so shall the anger be planted amongst the brethren and the

beauty be born thereof. Such are the ways of Mayanet, the slaughtered

girlchild, daughter of the Holy Bones that at all times and again and again

will rise in the cemetery of the ThunderStorm and make fair and perfect

the air blowing from all corners of the earth. She is the fairest and the

youngest of all the objects of the spirit of desire. The curse has been born

and the blessing is born there from. Therefore ye shall all remember that

in the painstaking fire of the curse the blessing is its child. Therefore ye

shall remember that restrained and bound the child of captivity is

freedom. Just as Lord Luchifer the Great used his Cell of Condemnation as

his Temple of Black Contemplation, so shall also you partake in the

contemplation of night in the hour where pottery are crashed - and the life

23

of the believer made into terror Remember the power of the Lord. And ye

shall remember how he turned his condemnation into eternal Oblivion and

then into a ladder of rejoice into the Heavens of HoneyDew. The Lord of

the Holy Bones is the King of Zombee and the spirit giving it life and Light.

Through the powers of the Lord and the twingirls of the Holy Mass, the

black and the white are set into play and a multitude of pathways are

open as dozens of rainbows pour forth from the infernal kingdom and out

into the blessing peace of the freed slaves.

You will now kneel down in front of her, this time with eyes open and look

upon her image with affection and rejoice in her wonders. You will now call

her forth and perform the Holy Eucharist of Anima Sola, the spirit of the

dead girlchild who is also known as Mayanet and Abysina Clarissa.

The Litany:

Strong daughter of the Fire Come down upon us

Guide of the hidden portals Come down upon us

Bestower of joy and relief Come down upon us

24

We pray that you come down upon this your body (chocolate of mint) and

the chalice filled with your dark blood (juice of red fruits – no alchohol!).

Extend your arms over the eucharist and say the following:

25

SASA-SAMANA-SASA-SAMANA May the Lord Bones bless these sacraments

SASA-SAMANA-SASA-SAMANA May the Mother of the PitchLake bless these

sacraments

SASA-SAMANA-SASA-SAMANA May Anima Sola, daughter of the lake come

down upon this body and blood and make it alive for the sake of Kumona.

Let me see with your eyes into the mysteries of being and unbeing. May

this power rest within me now and forever more SASA-SAMANA Blessed be

Abysina Clarissa!

When consumating the sacraments visualize that a fire from the abdomen

sprouts forth and attacks your eyes from the inside with great force. This

might lead to possession, clairvoyance and a state of oracular frenzy.

COMMENTS UPON SASABONSAM

The West African natives and particularly those from the Gold Coast (from which the larger number of Jamaica slaves were brought) believe in a number of gods of different classes and unequal power. All these gods have their priest and priestesses, but there is one particular malignant spirit, which on the Gold Coast has no priesthood. He is called Sasabonsum, and any individual may put himself in communication with him. Sasabonsum's favorite residence is the ceiba, the giant silk-cotton tree. He is resorted to in the dead of night, his votary going to the spot where he is supposed to live, and collecting there a little earth, or a few twigs, or a stone, he prays to the god that his power may enter this receptacle. If he believes that his prayer has been heard he returns home with his shuman, as the thing is now named, and henceforth, he has a power which is

26

formidable for injurious purposes, to which he offers sacrifice, and to the worship of which he dedicates a special day in the week. By the aid of this shuman he can bewitch a man to death. He can also sell charms that will cause death or bodily injury. His charms may also be put to other and less pernicious uses. Thus the shuman charm in the shape of a bundle of twigs, if hung up where it can be seen, is very efficacious for keeping thieves away from a house or provision-ground. Anyone may go out and get a shuman if he likes, but few there are who dare to do so, through fear of Sasabonsum, the witch's god, and public opinion which looks down upon a man with a shuman. The legitimate priests whose office it is to approach the gods also sell charms both for good and injurious purposes, but the main functions are to propitiate the gods and bewitch the people. Rattray here remarks well to our purpose: "Sasabonsam, Deriv. bonsam, a devil, or evil spirit (not the disembodied soul of any particular person, just as the fetish is not a human spirit). Its power is purely for evil and witchcraft. The obayifo is perhaps its servant as the terms are sometimes synonymous. Sasa or sesa is the word used for a person being possessed of a spirit or devil (oye no sesa)." 23 And again: "The Sasabonsam of the Gold Coast and Ashanti is a monster which is said to inhabit parts of the dense virgin forests. It is covered with long hair, has large blood-shot eyes, long legs, and feet pointing both ways. It sits on high branches of an odum or onyina tree and dangles its legs, with which at times it hooks up the unwary hunter. It is hostile to man, and is supposed to be essentially at enmity with the real priestly class. Hunters who go to the forest and are never heard of again--as sometimes happens--are supposed to have been caught by Sasabonsam. All of them are in league with abayifo (witches), and with the mmotia, in other words, with the workers in black magic. As we have seen, however, and will see again farther on, their power is sometimes solicited to add power to the suman (fetish), not necessarily with a view to employing that power for purposes of witchcraft, but rather the reverse. I cannot help thinking that the original Sasabonsam may possibly have been a gorilla. Under the heading of Witchcraft we shall see how the Sasabonsam's aid is solicited to defeat and to detect the very evil with which he is thought to be associated indirectly."[24]

That the Ashanti clearly distinguished between religious practices and witchcraft is evidenced by the following observation of Rattray: "From the information at our disposal, we now know that the Ashanti makes a distinction between the following: the okomfo (priest) the sumankwafo or dunseni (the medicine man); and the Bonsam komfo (witch doctor). The word okomfo, without any further qualification, refers to a priest of one of the orthodox abosom (gods).
