I have not heard of one of these. I was thinking something like "shaytan goes in-between the spaces if you don't connect your feet with others in salat"
That's a superstition? Sounds like common sense to me.Never heard of these. But my ayeeyo used to tell me to not sew my clothes while wearing it because you’d have bad luck or something
i was in a rush and I noticed the side of my shirt was ripped so I tried to sew it and my ayeeyo stopped me and said you’ll get bad luck.That's a superstition? Sounds like common sense to me.
Is this, Baaba aweys practice where a woman start screaming and act as if she was a (someone else/possessed)?Kitaab gaablow(reer koonfur term): A "muslim" geomancer/fake religious leader that practices pre-islamic superstitions. Nowadays, this also applies to the Salafi nutcases like Rusheeye, Ali Mukuli, Abdulhaq etc.
Baaba aweys: I assume famous rooxaan(spirit) in South somalia.
Aleelo tuur: There's a Somali saying that goes "Habar dhaliwayday aleelo ku walaatay" = "A barren old lady is obsessed with sea shells"
Never heard of Maryamayn. This is what I found on Maryamayn: (I used to google trans)
"Maryamayn and the Aleelo tuur can be said to be mother and daughter. The throwing shells and the card game in which you seek the queen are children of maryamayn . Both men and women practice maryamayn but they have different roles: while men calculate, women raise the necklace and conduct a rite, saying, "Fall there, break there, tell the truth,geomancy of God tell the truth ”. Maryamayn is a prediction, sometimes yestrue, sometimes not."
I think that's called Saar. Saar spirits mostly possess women.Is this, Baaba aweys practice where a woman start screaming and act as if she was a (someone else/possessed)?
@ me as well pleaseI think that's called Saar. Saar spirits mostly possess women.
I bookmarked a thread about Mingis/saar a while back. I was planning on making a detailed post about Somali spirits and their origins.
Stay tuned, I'll @ you when I make the post.
