Thanks Frankster for your comments and thoughts to my post.
In some quarters women are not allowed to cook food in restaurants but are allowed to serve it. That's a strict discipline of Rasta and it's present in the uk and Jamaica to this day.
It has nothing to do with keeping a sister down it's because women more than men are likely to get involved with iniquity.
Rasta loves and respects his queen for she is the carrier of life itself.
As long as we not using such belief to excluding the sistahs for having their say and presence in and among I&I
In terms of how we view voodoo are you suggesting that the aforementioned is not capable of harm? If so then I have a differing view of it. Juju Obeah and voodoo use their power in both good and negative ways.
Like all science it can be used for good or evil.......that does not make obeah evil - herbs can cure and herbs can kill.
Christians wear Crucifixes for reminder and protection a Juju is the same thing.
It's more heightened when people are struggling to survive. You could liken it to crabs in a barrel. As one starts to climb up to get out the others pull it down. That is what happens in a community surrounded in poverty.
True words
I'd appreciate any information or links you have to shed a different light on voodoo. I am fearful of those that have the power to speak with the spirits.
I gave you a link to Prof Smalls youtube or just put Vodun/Orisha in your search
