Edingough

Friday we went on a prayer walk in Edingough. This village is known as a Catholic village. The roots of Catholicism in this area made an agreement with the fetishers. They wanted to Baptize the children into Catholicism if they could all continue to worship at the fetish. As we were walking through the village we saw a charm hanging from some cashew trees. Ishmael explained that the proprietor of the farm went to the maribou and asked him to make a special charm to protect his forest. The magic of the charm is that if anyone tries to steal the proprietors fruit, the trees will trap him so that he will be caught. What was interesting about the charm is that mingled with the fetish charm was a grass cross. "Because" the proprietor is Catholic.
