					<description><![CDATA[When one listens to the way the average St. Lucian speaks about the gadè (practitioner of black magic), one will think that there is such a big difference between those who engage in sorcery and the regular God-believer. Black magic is somehow seen as evil, mysterious, and frightening, and its practitioners are usually spoken about [&#8230;]]]></description>
