Was her mother there, too, cutting the heads off of chickens and sprinkling the blood around? You have to watch some folks from down in that part of SC. When you're not paying attention some of them revert to the local variant of Voodoo and start having good and evil spirits take turns riding them and telling them what to do.

Oyotunji African Village? Gullah or Geechee?

I did have an aussie friend when I lived in the lowcountry; her husband was black and she got into some of the ‘black magic’, as we had another family in the neighborhood who had lived at the Oyotunji village.

Anyhow, she would go get pennies blessed and wear them in her shoe yada...one day she had a fit and wouldn’t come into my house because I had a little pile of dirt on my front porch.

She swore up and down I was cursed with ‘grave-yard’ dirt, kiddo had a Tonka truck and had deposited the dirt there.

No point to my story, really...was just a funny and interesting experience to me.
