One of our security guard’s wife died. He said it was because someone cursed her. She was having night mares. In one of them a snake impregnated her, a few days later she was pregnant. They found out that it wasn’t a baby because nothing showed up in the sonogram. I’m not sure what the clinical reason why she died was but it had to do with her non infant growing in her. There is another lady in the Women’s program here that is pregnant. She told our mid wife that her baby will die a few months after she has it. She said its happened to her three times. She said a witch doctor helps her get pregnant and the gestation period is 11 months. When she has the kid it has very black skin and red eyes, then the baby dies. There is a medical reason that this can happen, our PA explained it to me, but there is so much superstition surrounding things here. The Haitians also believe that when a child dies it didn’t actually die, the ware wolf came and ate it’s soul. Some women will stay up all night fending off the ware wolf so that it won’t take their children. I feel like I landed in Ancient Egypt or am living among the Native Americans or Inca.
It seems like Saitin has so much power over these people. I find this slightly frustrating because he only has power if you let him. His power is a false power that will not last. He only is able to do things if God allows him. So to be afraid of Satin or to resort to asking him for help is so hollow because he is not even able to do anything unless God allows him. To any of Gods people any way. But why worship or fear him when you could live for the God who Created him and you and has infenitly more power? This confuses me but so do a lot of things.
