‘Sacrifice affi mek’ - Obeahman claims spiritual dangers lurking on TikTok

A chilling warning has been issued by a local obeah worker to TikTok content creators and social media influencers who are raking in hefty sums or extravagant gifts from their online followers.

"Guard up or pay the ultimate price," the obeahman, Rueben Williams, said.

His warning follows a disturbing series of eerie deaths among TikTokers who have been showered with gifts via TikTok's live-streaming feature. Two well-known content creators have been murdered in recent weeks. Xavier 'Niah Gang' Fogah was killed on December 7 during a live TikTok session in Old Harbour, St Catherine, while Marvin '41 Busshead' Samuels, was murdered in Montego Bay, hours before his 24th birthday on December 20.

Williams reasoned that the deaths may not be coincidental. He argued that certain TikTok gifts such as the lion and the universe, which are highly valued on the platform, carry a heavy spiritual weight.

"Nothing nuh free," he warned.

"The sacrifice haffi make. When dem get them big lion or universe, it draw attention from spirits. If di person weh send di gift deh involved inna certain tings fi dem money, then destruction can follow. Yuh haffi know weh di money come from."

"Dem deh money have energy attached to it. Nuff a dem people yah gwaan like them bad and nuh understand seh dem haffi guard up," he insisted.

It is not uncommon for persons, especially those who have found non-traditional ways to enrich themselves to turn to the occult work for protection. The police have reported that they have noticed a trend where scammers have been wearing guard rings to bring both good luck and protection from evils.

Meanwhile, Williams is adamant that "destruction follows money" and it is important that persons coming into possession of wads of cash take steps to ensure their protection. "All energy attracted to money ... If yuh nah guard up, di money can turn pon yuh."

So, how can one guard against these spiritual risks? Williams shared an ancient ritual handed down from his forebears:

"If yuh know seh yuh get money from dem type a people, di first ting yuh fi do is get a bulla, stick one rusty nail inna di middle, and throw it inna dirt mek dog or ants nyam it before yuh start spend di money. Dat is one way fi neutralise di energy," he said.

Williams emphasised that these precautions are vital, particularly when dealing with large sums or high-value gifts. "If dem nuh cut nuh sacrifice, dem become di sacrifice. Dat's why dem dead off so easy. Dem haffi do di rituals fi guard up before dem start use di money."
