Obia/Obeah/Obey

Obey


Obeah - Tia Dalma (Obeah Woman)/Calypso Goddess of Sea



"Obeah" refers to spiritual folk practices that were derived from West African sources. The W. E. B. Du Bois Institute database supports obeah being traced to the "dibia" or "obia" meaning "doctoring" traditions of the Igbo people. 
Specialists in "Obia" (also spelled Obea) were known as "Dibia" (doctor, psychic) and practiced something similar to the "Obeah men and women" of the Caribbean, like predicting the future and manufacturing charms.

Ruperts

When I was very young about 5 years old I used to have a reoccurring dream/nightmare that I was at the centre of a square maze. At the entrance/exit in one corner stood Darth Vader. At the entrance/exit at the other corner stood Rupert the Bear. Every few seconds both Darth Vader and Rupert the Bear would step forward and another Darth Vader and Rupert the Bear would enter behind them. This continued until the maze was almost full with multiple Darth Vaders and Rupert the Bears and they were almost upon me at which point I would wake up.

Years later I remember seeing Naked Raygun play a gig in Bristol the singer wore Black and yellow "Rupert the bear" trousers.In the early naughties I even had a pair of  "Sharp  eye"  black and yellow check trousers myself.
