Here, although the Cameroon are attached to a church, the fact remains that the superstitions exist and punctuate their lives as much as their religion ...
George left his native village, three weeks ago to get unbewitch by a marabout. He spoke with a girl before marriage that their story ends. This revenge, she went to a fetish so that it casts a spell on George.
George did not suspect nothing is in mourning for the mother of Raymond that someone went to see him to say he had been bewitched. George has sought could blame him as much then the suspicions are confirmed. His last two days to remove a spell. I'm not saying this to make fun of what right could I afford it? I say this not to show you how superstitious people live.
Arlette, there is little time dozing at the foot was bitten by a mouse. Here in Cameroon in the African customs animals do not bite, good agreement is excuse dogs but a mouse is a rodent that does not bite people so we said that those who bite are totems of people. A totem is an animal who represents someone in witchcraft, in fact anyone has a double double this is an animal. The animal and the body physically exist simultaneously, the human has to feed the animal. If the animal is killed humans also dies. Flora me example related the story of a totem animal which was wounded by a hunter due to gun the animal being hurt his human double is dead as a result of the ball received by the animal without him even being in the hunt.
Flora when she was going with his little brothers and sisters in the village with her grandmother Ma (Mother of diminutive term of endearment) Lepi (Rebecca mean in patois) so when they went to work in the fields they had to cross a river. Before crossing they were coughing to prevent people living under water on their arrival so they do not take in water.
I guess it must be curious to read this post. Actually, when I talk about superstitions and other beliefs with a Cameroonian my ears wide open because I find it really interesting and really surprising! You may be be surprised, intrigued or amused but really it's very disconcerting to hear such stories!
