shillings, Pfaffia iresinoides, is often planted by the house to ward off evil. A tea
of this plant will quiet a witch who is speaking like all the evil
things they have done’’ (depale). For this reason it is sometimes
called ``hush yo’ mouf.’’ If you’ve ``already passed obeah’’ you
may drink a tea of this plant. Also it is drunk if you’re ``short
of breath.’’ Verna Slane 1987 |
