Burn a candle to keep your lady from cheating on you. Spray Evil Away from an aerosol can for protection. Rub olive oil on your face for more protection--but not from the sun. Obeah, an Afro-Carribean religion that's deeply Jamaican, is one of the island's best-kept secrets. And for good reason.

My Colombian Co-Pilot Natalia and I avoided the cheesy all-inclusive resorts and drove the MINI Roadster deep into the island's potholed-interior to find Joseph the Obeah Man. Check back for the full episode February 27 and get ready for an odd, disorienting, and slightly spooky adventure to ALL THE WRONG PLACES in the heart of Jamaica.
