Qarsherskiyan Creole (Krèyòl)'s definitions

Wanochiwiya

A term used by some Qarsherskiyan people between central Florida and the Great Lakes which refers to the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis), which are believed to be the spirits of the ancestors in traditional Qarsherskiyan Hoodoo beliefs from African ancestors.

Wanochiwiya is pronounced "Wah-Notch-EE-wee-uh" or "Wen-au-chee-wee-yah" depending on region.
When an unusually powerful solar storm allows wanochiwiya to appear in North Florida, some of them Qarsherskiyan folks go outside and say silent prayers or perform folk magic spells, drawing energy from the wanochiwiya.
