Word origin

Used in a sentence
“[…] but he went down to death, with dusky dreams of African shadow-catchers and Obeahs hunting him.”
“A Jamaican Christian came to me for counseling. […] I asked him if he had been charmed as a child by an Obeah. Obeahs are the magicians of the Carribean^([sic]) islands.”
“Although Adair suspected that obeahs often employed poisons, he emphasized that the diseases induced by obeahs resulted from "depraved imagination, or a powerful excitement or depression of the mental faculties."”
