This is a book which explores the different superstitious beliefs that we as Dominicans have.
Instead of passing it down through word of mouth, where your grandmothers and grandfathers would tell you stories about soucouyants and lougawou, to learn about it, a copy of this book can be bought.
Dominica on a whole, is an island who takes pride in their beliefs of “a pregnant women at sea will make it rough” and “if you pass under a ladder, it will bring bad luck”.
The books explores all that and even has a little story at the end which shows how superstitious we are.
I believe that the writing of the book was an excellent idea, keeping our culture alive, and being able to refer back to a belief correctly.
The book is almost like a dictionary, one is able to read and understand clearly, and take a good laugh reading with friends and family.
As a Dominican, it is a must read and a must have.
I have read it time and time again, and not once does it get boring.
A full critique would have included ; the author, no. of pages, publishing house, an ISBN number and suggested price…just saying …
Do you have an ISBN number for it? I live abroad, can’t find it on Amazon.
A little info on the author and places to purchase book would be appreciated
I saw this book at the public library in town.
Colossians 2:8 ESV
“See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ”.
2 Timothy 4:2-4 ESV
“Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths”.
You have a choice from the tree of life or death! Be careful what you take in. If it stemmed from slavery or Africa… depending on the message, other gods may be involved. It still remains your choice… whatever information you receive but i am warning against the ONCE Cherub and Archangel who was anointed and understands anointing.
be careful!
