Thank you so much for sharing this information to the world!!! I am a 2nd gen Jamaican with very distant roots. I’ve been trying to reconnect with Caribbean culture and spirituality, but it seems that most people in my family are involved in the church. This piece is inspiring me to look into Cumina 😊
As a Hoodoo, which Jamaican ancestry on my father's side, I am looking to get more in touch with those traditions as well. So.many diaspora traditions have so many similarities in terms of people's views and the demonization of it all.
But like with hoodoo, I agree that it is so important to continue to pass whatever we can on. As if we don't it leaves with the ancestors.
Thank you for this! My family is Jamaican but I was born a farrin; I find it so beautiful to see Hoodoo be embraced and wish to do the same, but it can be more challenging for us with West Indian roots.
Might I also add the influence of the Igbo on what became of Obeah and Jamaican culture/patois - this is my current path. As well as Myal and Pocomania for anyone else doing research like me.

Thank you for all of this. It is time to be strong, brave, and courageous. The old oppressions are dying out.
