I apologize if this is an ignorant question, I don’t know much about Santeria but I believe my mother in law is secretly practicing. She keeps these herbs hidden around her house in satchels and in Starbucks cups. It’s known she doesn’t want my fiancé to move out her house and he ALWAYS has random financial issues (getting car broken into, car accidents, theft, etc). And he constantly has nightmares and jumps in his sleep. Is this a sign of any practice?
