D'Jambi – traditional ritual but, payment is in euro
ÁFRICA, São Tomé and Príncipe – At final of the last year (2010) throughout the month of December, the Guadalupe Secondary School was closed due to disturbances caused by a haunting. Guadalupe is located for 12 km from the capital, the Sao Tome city.
The tormented spirit also attacked 14 students and some staff members. The classes became impractical.
To solve the problem, parents of students want to hire a sorcerer but they don't have the money for the wizard's fees. The commissioned ritual, called "Jambi," costs 15 million "dobras," or about 610 euros.
D'Jambi is a magic ritual connected to mysticism, whose goal is to heal the sick and soothe the spirits of antepassados.
This ritual is performed by a master healer and his assistant. It is a kind of white magic mixed with Christianism in order to heal people or places that are bewitched and evil eye cases in general.
