August 1812

Her arms outspread, her eyes fixed on the ceiling, the priestess began speaking. Yet it was not her normal voice; this utterance was a much lower-pitched and distinctive sound. It was the loa who was giving emphatic instructions, and the client listened carefully.

“You will protect yourself by burying a small bag of ginger and mandrake roots in your backyard. Once you have buried them, you will sprinkle rainwater over them. Burn a white candle of peace and gratitude each night for nine nights.”

The energy then seemed to diminish, and moments later it was gone. The priestess, as if emerging from a trance, focused her eyes on the client and smiled. Now speaking in her customary way, she said, “Go in peace and abide in plenty.”

“Thank you, Catherine,” replied the patron.
