So you’re telling me the first person burned in the Salem witch trials was a Caribbean woman who practiced Obeah(?!!!!)
@mayowasworld @Cap_Groove yes but it's unclear as to whether or not tituba was black
@mayowasworld Just to clarify: 1. Nobody was burned during the Salem witch crisis. 2. Tituba was not executed. 3. There's no evidence that Tituba practiced Obeah.
@mayowasworld She wasn't burned. She was one of the few women who wasn't hanged. No one was burned at the stake in Salem. Most of the accused witches were hanged. However, Giles Corey was pressed to death after refusing to submit a plea. Tituba (a Native American slave) however was pardoned.
@mayowasworld Tituba served jail time but her case was dismissed and she was not tried for Witchcraft. She was not killed.
@mayowasworld Sometimes words are LITERAL “Black Magic” .. them Black women were doing magic assisting their men in hunting, war, healing etc. Them folks stole knowledge and rebranded our “magic” as what the truth about their religion looked like.
@mayowasworld She was teaching white women her traditional practices while her flesh in blood was in bondage and under captivity, what else should have been done to a traitor who's conjuring couldn't even save herself?
