HOODOO, NOT VOODOO

If you're looking for information on how to curse your neighbor or make a Voodoo doll, you won't find it at this site. West African Dahomean Vodoun has little to do with sorcery and everything to do with spirituality. It is a peaceful, nature-loving system of belief that embraces an ancient spiritual healing tradition. Here you can meet the gods and goddesses of Vodoun, who represent the divine forces of nature, and learn how they are honored in this timeless tradition. Read the Writings on the Wall to garner a more complete understanding of this complex and highly ceremonial practice, and find out what it means to be called to serve the Mami Wata--the serpent water spirits of the Dahomean Vodoun religion. So leave behind the twisted images of zombies and devil worship generated by Hollywood and discover the real beliefs behind this ancient and powerful tradition.
