Pieces of the Past : Deadly
superstitions |
Superstitions
permeate many aspects of Jamaican life. Not surprisingly, the cultural
influence most often cited is African. What may be unrecognised,
however, is that the area with the strongest retention is death,
including burial practices.
Most of these beliefs are born out of fear of the unknown; fear
of what happens after death and how it can affect the living. These
actions are carried out because it is believed that they will protect
those left alive from the wrath of the spirit of the dead, known
colloquially in Jamaica as the duppy.

Roving with Lalah : The
life of a Sandy Bay vendor |
Sheena
was talking at what seemed like lightning speed to the young man
sitting on the tree stump beside her. His eyes were droopy and he
looked like he was on the verge of sleep. But Sheena didn't seem
to notice or at all care.
Last week Robert visited Sandy Bay. See more at http://jamaica-gleaner.com/gleaner/20070531/news/news1.html
