[saccharinescorpion]

some eagle-eyed viewers saw this album cover when the last Nope trailer dropped, and sure enough, “Exuma, The Obeah Man” by Tony McKay plays during an important scene in Nope

McKay, in his “Exuma” persona, once claimed that the "'electrical part' of his being 'came from beyond Mars; down to Earth on a lightning bolt'"

(major Nope spoilers below the cut)

... “I’ve got the voice of many in my throat,” huh?

I strongly dislike when people make jack drake out to be a bad father for wanting his son to stay safe. like yeah tims gonna dislike it but that's because he's too emotionally dependant on robin to let go of it. jack making him quit is obviously going to make him look like a dickhead but he didn't make the wrong choice for wanting his kid to stay safe????

The Obeah Man

The Obeah man is greatly feared in Jamaica. He wields power in a daunting kind of way. A certain mystery and power looms over him, so much that people pull their children to the side whenever he walks down the street. People of the community do not mix with his wife and children, for fear of being involved with Obeah themselves, and customers flocked to his compound in the wee hours of dawn or very late at night seeking their own spells.

He can be heard at times by his neighbors chanting or speaking in different languages, and there are times when he is possessed his eyes turn blood red. He often calls out to Joseph, his main  messenger, a being no one but him has ever seen, and when Joseph arrives he blows his rum and commands him to go and remove the flesh from Birdie, clean, clean, clean! Birdie is the shoe makers wife or widow I should say, who owes him for works done, but when he goes to collect his money from her, she hides and send out to him a bottle of Jamaican white rum.

Exuma, The Obeah Man - Exuma (Exuma, 1970)

[realityanddelusion]

“Do you really speak the language? Do you know what your name is?” Vilification, bastardization, and dumbing down black people seems to have been in fashion since cameras started rolling over in the Americas. From the stage to the screen from the white globes of the minstrel shows to the white gloves finding there way onto Mickey and other beloved cartoons if you love it chances are it’s roots go back to chattel slavery. But this video isn’t meant to focus on the bad. This video is a mix of both fictitious representation of ATR and actual real life footage of black people being , raw, real, and powerful. I wanted to highlight key things such as animals that hold some of secrets. Bre’r Rabbit, Li Gran Zombi, Aunt Nancy just to name a few. Ring shouts and catching the Holy Ghost can also be seen in there as well for purposes I was going to go into depth over but thinking about it I believe it’s best if I leave them in obscurity. The presentation before is in no way a full representation of black majick or what hoodoo is but serves as a way of letting you know that like God and water it will take the form of whatever it’s host need them to be. 🎶Exuma the obeah man
