Prospero is a fictional character and the protagonist of William Shakespeare's play The Tempest. Prospero is the rightful Duke of Milan, whose usurping brother, Antonio, had put him to sea on a "rotten carcass" of a boat to die, twelve years before the play begins. Prospero and Miranda had survived and found exile on a small island.
Gris-gris is grey dirt, but the page is mostly correct it's still made into an amulet or curse along with a few other ingredients, and it is derived from West African Yoruba-based religions. Thanks to cultural appropriation we have African diaspora or Afro-American traditions (like Voodoo in Haiti, Louisiana, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Venezuela, and Brazil altho they go by different names) which is where the knowledge of this spell in the Western world comes from.
