Dr. W.I. Hanson is a healer, reader, and spiritual advisor. My adventure began five decades ago. Yes! My spiritual journey begins in Jamaica W.I. A short time afterward. I migrated to the United States. Requests were still coming from Jamaica. Absolutely. I have accepted most of the requests. Many more patients recovered. I still go to Jamaica because of an unlimited invitation for healing purposes. Being a member of this organization is very important to me because I am always informed. Myal developed in Jamaica as a form of spirit possession. Its origins can be traced back to the Kongo faith. Because of its popularity among Akan slaves, it was once thought to be of Akan origin. Kongo slaves, on the other hand, loved Myal. Both Myal and Kongo religions emphasize the importance of spirit possession. This evidence implies that Myal and Kongo are more closely related. The cooperation of ethnically different African slaves culminated in myalism. Edward Long coined the term “myal” to describe a ritual dance performed by Jamaican slaves in 1774. The rituals of Obeah and Myal were initially confused. Through time, the “Myal-men” became associated with Jamaican Native Baptist churches and introduced Myal rites into them. Over time, these Myal-influenced congregations began to preach baptisms and the elimination of Obeah, having different traditions.
