Ok so the word JHARAY or jaray..imnot sure if it is spelt diff but we used it for 2 diff meanings..

1..jharay/jaray d mat..shake out the mat

2. Dem JARAR/JHARAY u to chase out evil/bad eye with a pointer broom similar to ounchay/owchay (my dad did this n he would chant some mantra under his breath n shake the broom out after each round. Did it 7 times from head to toe making circular motions n the last 1 he shook the tip of broom violently n then laid it under the bed )

i know JHARA is broom, so #2 makes sense..but not # 1

did anyone else say ‘jharay d mats’ ??
