Ain’t afraid when the Devil rises up outa hell…
Yup. That’s what my old voodoo mentor, Earl Marlowe, stated early in our association together. He said:
“Us conjurers, we the friends of Ole Satan himself. That coz he was the greatest conjure man this world has known. You read the Bible with the double sight and you see the hidden message that I’m talkin’ about. It tell you that Ole Satan look out for conjure men, help ‘em in their work.
That’s why I ain’t afraid when the Devil rises up outa hell. And you shouldn’t be neither. But I knows you ain’t coz you seen him rise yourself when you was a kid, in yo’ backyard, when you said the Lord’s Prayer backward – like that ole churchman from your school tole you.
You set yo’ path there and then. It was written in stone you would meet me. Ole Satan saw to it. He the friend of conjurers. That the way it work.”
