Quote #10
Along with my earrings, my neck chain, and my bracelets, all made of gold from British Guiana, my underclothes had been sent to my mother's obeah woman, and whatever she had done to my jewelry and underclothes would help protect me from evil spirits and every kind of misfortune. The things I never wanted to see or hear or do again now made up at least three weeks' worth of grocery lists. I placed a mark against obeah women, jewelry, and white underclothes. (8.5)
Interestingly, even though Annie says she never wanted to hear or be involved with obeah again, she does still wear the items that have been protected by obeah against evil spirits.
