The Obeah Man

The Obeah man is greatly feared in Jamaica. He wields power in a daunting kind of way. A certain mystery and power looms over him, so much that people pull their children to the side whenever he walks down the street. People of the community do not mix with his wife and children, for fear of being involved with Obeah themselves, and customers flocked to his compound in the wee hours of dawn or very late at night seeking their own spells.

He can be heard at times by his neighbors chanting or speaking in different languages, and there are times when he is possessed his eyes turn blood red. He often calls out to Joseph, his main  messenger, a being no one but him has ever seen, and when Joseph arrives he blows his rum and commands him to go and remove the flesh from Birdie, clean, clean, clean! Birdie is the shoe makers wife or widow I should say, who owes him for works done, but when he goes to collect his money from her, she hides and send out to him a bottle of Jamaican white rum.
