Living Vodou
…
…
The word “Vodou” evokes images of sorcery and sticking pins into dolls. In fact, it’s a living tradition wherever Haitians are found based on ancestral religions in Africa. We walk through this mysterious tradition — one with dramatic rituals of trances and dreaming and of belief in spirits, who speak through human beings, with both good and evil potential.
In a synchronistic confluence of the news and the raison d’etre for the Church of BuVu, last week’s American Public Media radio show, Speaking of Faith, featured Haiti and Vodou. The program included a conversation between Buddhist Stephanie Keith and a Vodou priest, at an interfaith event in Brooklyn, New York.
