There’s a world just beyond the veil, where shadows linger and whispers echo, where a flicker of doubt or fear can pull us into places we’d never thought we’d go. For Aliatou, the allure of this world wasn’t born of fear, but of curiosity—a desire to reconnect with her ancestral roots. In her search for deeper meaning, seeking to understand the traditions of her ancestors, she taps into something ancient and powerful. But as she ventures into the unknown, the line between the curiosity for her heritage and the dangerous forces she invited into her life begins to blur.
Part 1 of Aliatou’s journey explores her fascination with the unknown and her descent into the world of Santeria. It’s a tale of curiosity, spiritual struggle, and the danger of seeking answers in places where light cannot reach. As she opens herself to the unseen, the forces she encounters begin to change her in ways she never imagined, setting the stage for the darkness that lies ahead.
