Vodou in Benin

[FreeDogdylan]

Wtf are they doing?

[LatinaVompan]

Vincent d'Almeidas (born in Benin )son Patrick (born in Sweden), is my husband and we live in Sweden.

Hello Benin!!!

[LatinaVompan]

Vincent d'Almeidas son Patrick, is my husband and we live in Sweden.

[DutchNordic]

These people are really on to something. Why doesn't everybody believe in this stuff?

[satanblessmegadeth]

Some of this is absolutely awing. Too bad over half of the video was people dancing around in costumes, though.

[StokesDaddy]

@satanblessmegadeth Some things move without people in them. Hince the spinning hut and then the doll appeared. This shit is the real deal. theres people that disappear and can reappear in NYC or somewhere.. anywhere, ask some people from Benin or neighboring countries. 9 out of 10 people cannot be lying

[satanblessmegadeth]

@StokesDaddy that is extremely interesting. thank you for the information.

[vodusi2009]

vodou is a beautiful religion i think better than muslim,christian, or jewish! :)

[mykare]

Voodoo,is definitely the real deal!!!

[charlene615]

that was beautiful. i wish i could be there, but bcuz im african american i wont be accepted.

[ebeledi]

@charlene615 "you wont be accepted" why in the world would you think such a thing

[ramalamabangbangify]

Does anyone know what the thing is that they bring in at 1:01? What is the story behind that?

[adetokunoyewole]

@ramalamabangbangify . it is called zangbeto

[att0317]

I think that we should not busy ourselves in changing someone's religious beliefs, I think that we should be more open minded instead of being judgmental. If you wish to follow Jesus, then you follow him but don't cast your eyes down on others just because you don't understand what they believe!! I see too many people with this attitude like if you not christian, then you deserve for something bad to happen to you and thats not right. judge not lest ye be judged!!

[Khirad]

Hmm, so they're brought over from their home countries to work in servitude as slaves, forced to adopt new languages and a foreign religion... and the Bible thumpers don't see any racism in their colonialist views? Naff off. Gandhi adhered to his native religion and did just fine without a blond haired, blue eyed Jesus (that was a metaphor, I know better than most Christians that Jesus looked more like a Palestinian). Things that are "different" often frighten and confuse the simple minded.

[scarponio]

To those who have ears....let your efforts to improve nations like haiti,be rooted in prying them away from there ritualistic traditions......when we give these or any individuals like them anything ...they must know it came from the almighty GOD up above...in JESUS christ name I pray..amen

[thugz00]

@scarponio no one needs your white god

[scarponio]

Haiti's roots....Voodoo is not of GOD...Untill haiti realize this and until some of it's surrounding neighbours stop being racist....including france(one of its mother lands) their condition will continue to be increasingly deminutive

[YuetteBookggt]

I am super happy with the spell they casted on me.

"africavoodoo . com"

[geleane12]

this is like Haitian voodoo

[GlenKioni2]

These people can alter time

[NZMaorihaka]

What is the beggining with the man on the ground meant to be? Is it meant to be one of his ancestors or a spirit controlling him?

[Tampinu]

I like the part where the man was dancing with the large pancake on his head, cute!

[thebadbard]

excellent

[oluwalogbon58]

and before you say DNA TESTING , that has nothing to do with culture, that is just a bit of window dressing to give AA'S some idea of their forefathers place of origin... sometimes it triggers interest in the cultures where the dna came from , most times, its just for a sense of "belonging" even if you are still seen as a rich tourist ...

[NativeToungue77]

LOL!!!! brother i've been seen as many things in my life, tell me something that i dont know..."rich tourist" LOL thats a new one..."love always conquers hate, everytime"

[oluwalogbon58]

a lot of wealthy black americans are finding their way to parts of africa particulary west africa now..some are putting up building projects others are establishing businesses.of course they have to deal with the african mindset which is so different from yours..we really dont speak the same language you have to learn ours ..eventually the penny will drop and that fear of africa will subside.. but for now....

[NativeToungue77]

well, i am not wealthy, far from it... but i do have a strong desire to learn about the meaning of the drumming (i play a little bit of djembe) this drumming in this footage is intense! and the culture and countinue my journey of finding my true self..i wish we could talk in a more private setting brother.

[oluwalogbon58]

take a look at the african pages on youtube, you will find a wealth of information and illustrations of various cultures done by africans themselves.. the NOLLYWOOD FILMS made by nigerians are known world wide especailly in africa, the middle east , and in america and europe caters to africans . but you can take a look at the OYOTUNJI village as it is AA's like yourself who are interested in learning about yoruba culture.I do recommend LAGBAJA 'S music and INFINITY too to get a taster of it.

[jinalanguniafrika]

the souls of our ancestors (which are shared and collaborating on our behalf when we really get down to it) are more than happy to reveal needed answers regarding ALL origins in a real way if they are honored properly.

[oluwalogbon58]

to assume that its all about your history in america is a bit conceited... its not.. the fact is.. you are a lost people.. bleeding or not as absolutely nothing to do with it.. that part is about america and your own history within that country...

[NativeToungue77]

this footage is beautiful...i am honored to be viewing this raw footage from the motherland...amazing!

[oluwalogbon58]

to you its amazing to me its normal stuff, and there you go again with the america drama!"you hate me" do i know you or particularly care ?. answer no..to be honest this is where it all falls apart ..because you assume that the average west africa should care or know about your history.. they know as much about you as you know about them ...regarless of whatever you say, you dont live in africa and even if you do you cannot have the african mindset..you are white people from their vantage point

[zuhri02]

THANK ALLAH????? Wow , islam was a FORCED religion upon our African ancestors. And you want to thank Allah? it was either your Muslim or your dead. Forget were we came from and accept the new way? The new way brought famine and everything horrible you could think of. Think Allah, no I think the Orisha and my ancestors to finding me and showing me the way.

[estevancarlos]

I don't know the relationship of Islam and Vodou but as you may know, in Hatian Vodou, the Catholic deities are loas of Vodou. Maybe Allah here is simply a loa.

[monsuru68]

thanks Allah for saving me from this kafir and dirty life i was born and grew up in this kind of environment

[kwekuafroolmec]

vadoun is the oldest spiritual system in the world that goes back to kemet,ancient egypt,it doesnt have or share the same roots as christ insanity,because. the catholicism and christianity

was shoved down our throats, just like islam was shoved down our throats,our deities are not the same as catholic or christian saints, it was synchretized when we got to the amerikas.

[H4kk3n]

I'm sorry but its not the oldest spiritual system in the world. As far as we know the oldest spiritual system is paleo-animism which now can be found in northern regions of Siberia.

But dont worry, Vodoun is also very animistic in its roots, so in fact it is very old, definitely older then Christianity ;)

Anyway I pay respect to Lwa and if I will ever visit they land I will pay my offerings to them. Especially to the one who stands on the crossroads of the worlds.

[Jenfucius]

@H4kk3n

I agree with you.

(btw I'm not the one who gave you the thumbs down. I gave you a thumbs up btw.)

[Zanni994]

i'm an atheist who was raised in a pentecostal home. The way the Africans danced and shake remind me of the way ppl in church be dancing and getting invoked with the "holyghost"....same stuff diff god.

[lifesStudent2012]

this is what we was doing before we got colonized, i love afrikan spirituality!!!

[jinalanguniafrika]

me too!

[mrflorian97]

@lifesStudent2012 Who do you think you are???? What the fuck did u meant by that?

[candychocolat]

Dangerous. Satan the devil, demons and associates: «There should not be found in you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, who employs divination, a practicer of magic, anyone who looks for omens, a sorcerer, or one who binds others with a spell, anyone who consults a spirit medium, a professional foreteller of events, or anyone who inquires of the dead. For everybody doing these things is something detestable to God, » Bible (De 18:10-12). TomorrowsWorld

[alexamst]

Candychocolat, just because you are a Christian and believe in the Christian god dosnt mean that Voodoo, is wrong or incorrecnt. These people, regarddless if we think its wrong or evil in some way deserve every right t practise as they wish. Everyone is intitled to believe in their own Religion. Quoting the bible isnt fair as clearly these people do not hold the same beliefs as yourself.

[THEREALWiseNubian]

The whole problem is rooted in the division of our people which has been indoctrinated from generation to generation thru slavery.Education of self, learning our story is the only pathway to realization. Any opinion of self hate is not truly our opinion but subconciously the opinion of slave owners subjugation of teachin us to hate each other. Dark skin slaves vs light skin slaves, young vs old, women vs men, field hand vs house hand. were all the same in experience, culture n heritage.

[oluwalogbon58]

this is very much a problem with the american black culture which is not rooted in african cultural traditions or practices and is therefore lost .What i would take for granted( yoruba culture) is just one of many that the slaves sent to the americas and the carribeans would have taken with them.. the carribean slaves still had some semblance of african culture especially the maroons who fled into the hills of jamaica and were never enslaved so had some form of identity...aa's are lost people

[NativeToungue77]

as an african american, i have to disagree...the spirit of GOD (name or diety not important) never left my ancestors as africans enslaved in north america, therefore we are not lost people, we are strong people, we perservere...we bleed the same blood that you do, and you are not better than us spiritually in any way...it blows me away when a fellow african hates his own brother, to hate me because i was born in the united states is to hate yourself..."ignorance is costly"-martin luther king jr.

[oluwalogbon58]

its not about bleeding, its about culture, face facts.. the brazlian blacks have an advantage as they still have culture.. they speak my language( yoruba) they observe some cultural practices and are very much aware of the way yorubas celebrate as they have some of this culture with them.. when they speak yoruba in brazil i can understand them.. what is your cultural connection to africa? even bill cosby said it.. there is none. that doesnt mean some of you are not interested in learning .

[oluwalogbon58]

those who are willing to learn and to leave their american assumptions and values at home will come away with a lot to think about, those who go to africa to lecture or patronize africans will be given short shrift.. As americans you dont really have any connection with the outside world, as black americans that isolation is even more so..i have even had carribeans say that they were shocked coming to africa as they had made so many wrong assumptions about how we are generally.

[oluwalogbon58]

lastly, as an american you make a lot of assumptions.. you assume i must be talking the same language you are.. its all about your history not ours,, so from our point of view, you are lost people.. meaning you are people who dont know who you are as a people.. you cant identify yourselves from your place of origin..its important in most west african traditions to know who your people are..as in EFIK as opposed to HAUSA, or IROBO, TO YORUBA, TO IGBO, etc.. get the picture.?

[NativeToungue77]

i get the picture, and i am a african american who is interested in learning, that is why i came to this footage. i have no cultural connection to africa, only the color of my skin. and yes, i am very isolated in this country, i want out. to go to africa is a life dream for me, one day i will go. i am not bill cosby, he is happy to be american living the american "dream" (laugh) whatever that is...i am not, my dreams lies elswhere, not u.s.a. ashe brother i wish you well...

[oluwalogbon58]

well, i encourage you to travel to travel to west africa ( if you want to see where your forefathers came from, as Africa is our Father's land , not the Motherland as you call it) with an OPEN MIND.. and absorb what you see in which ever culture you find yourself in .. Africa is not a COUNTRY..its a continent, something lost on Americans in general who dont understand this concept at all. This means there are countries not states within it.. Every country has its own individual stamp of identity

[DUNKOFDEATH34]

well said man a lot of people think Africa is country and the language they speak is African.

anways your said some very gud points brother peace

[jinalanguniafrika]

though you have valid points of conversation, i worry about the patronizing tone that is beginning to develop here. if you are interested in Voudou, then SURELY you are aware of the concept of called DESTINY, which renders every soul on it's own unique and chosen path- not lost! this "blacker than thou" conversation is getting tired. and i say this with the utmost respect. Tribalism is played out Olu. You loved Aretha franklin or James Brown like i love Fela Anikulapo Kuti or King Sunny Ade!

[oluwalogbon58]

you should stop worrying about other peoples points of view as they are very subjective. you may say tribalism is played out but its easy to say not easy to undo.. its not played out am afraid, its like a white person saying there is no such thing as racism !! for your information i love james brown aretha franklin, fela and ksa! and if you chkd out my favorites while you where browsing on my channel you would know that.

[jinalanguniafrika]

i know you love them,i do too- that was part of my point Olu. "played out " is a figure of speech used among my people meaning "tired and unecessary". nevertheless, let us be a part of the undoing...of course it takes time and patience with one another-which is precisely why i am alive today. i favorited a video from your channel before i even saw these remarks...see? much love- no harm was intended may you be blessed and your path beautified. a se o

[NativeToungue77]

thank u oluwalogbon58, for your insight and information that you gave me. i have begun my journey to un-learn. may i add as friend?

[mrabdullah71]

ohhhh u hate aa but u love our music? u afro baboons better know we aa paid the cost to be the boss as james brown said

lol

[souseuze]

Don't judge before you make an attempt to understand the perspective of the vudunsi. It is a religion like any other, not devil worship. Vodou is rich and beautiful culture. Perhaps no other religion in the world has suffered so much from prejudice like Vodou. In the 21st century, people must learn to respect all religions. Practitioners of traditional african religions deserve to worship just like everyone else.

[btswanfury]

I grew up in Benin and while I don't believe in black magic or voodoo or anything (I'm an atheist, lol) I can guarantee you this shit is the real deal.

Fascinating!

[estevancarlos]

You curse yourself.

[Potent910]

Possession is real. Vodou is real, everything you saw was actual footage, believe it or not. Those who don't believe in the spiritual aspects of life, will probably never live to witness it.

Anyways, I would never condone to vodou or participate in it, I don't associate with demonic forces. May they all see the error in their ways.

[sweetsendaedreamr]

Predates Christianity and also shares the same characteristics..at the same time... I believe very profound. The show of worship is different but worship in its ideals are same.

[NubianGoddez]

Nice to see the ancestors invoked to take possession.

[muziqueonmymind]

4:30 looks like he is making a giant pizza

[DrunkenDonkeyCircus]

RELIGION STARTS WAR'S...I SAY JUST LOVE ONE AND OTHER, EVEN THO YOU MAY NOT BE IN LOVE WITH SOMEONE, BOY OR GIRL IT DOESNT MATTER, JUST LOVE ONE AND OTHER JEEZ!!! HAHA!!! WHERE ALL EQUAL...im no hippy btw xx

[DrunkenDonkeyCircus]

WTF!

I dont know how i got here to watch this video...well watch 5 second's of it, all i was doing is seeing if black magic was real and stuff haha.

Him rolling on the floor is an idiot THERE ALL IDIOT'S thinking there being posessed or summin jeez. It's all in the mind...and they obviously don't haveany will power in them to actually beleive this nonsense.

[jlima328]

That said: we do need a reaffirmation like every religion to make it "acceptable" in the 21st Century.

But it is important to recognize that all religions at its beginning were what ignorant may qualify as, violent, vile and primitive... but that is the essence of human being origins... There are many positive aspect of voodoo that are lost and we are still loosing because of the unformal nature of it... i.e tele-transportation of matter: true or fiction in Voodoo? Many have eye witnessed it.

[Haitiangroove17]

PROFOUND RESPECT FOR MY ANCESTORS !

[Lysiane2953]

ils sont fou !!!

they are crazy !!! it's sure..

[beninchild89]

Tu dis quoi toi ! Tu n'y connai rien au vaudoun ! Alors ouvre pas ta bouche pour juger la culture des autres !

[Lysiane2953]

Mais c'est pas une religion ça ! C'est carrément de la sorcellerie ! Et les poules qui sont attachées au sorcier sont encore vivantes ... Pff c'est répugnant..

[beninchild89]

Pff tu fais vraiment pitier à parler de ce que tu ne sais pas ! T'as vu ou des sorciers dans cette vidéo ? T'es vraiment l'exemple typique de la personne " narrow mind ".La fille qui a regarder 1 ou 2 doccumentaire et qui veut parler sur un tel sujet ! Ce n'est pas parceque toi tè Catholique musulmane ou mème atté que tu as le droit de dire que le vaudoun n'est pas une religion ! D'ailleurs je te conseille de lire la déf d'une religion dans ton dico !

[Lysiane2953]

vaudou --> satanic religion !

je suis pas catholique

si tu dis le contraire, c'est TOI qui est mal informé

[jlima328]

Lysiane

Ils sont peut etre fou, mais ce n'est pas une raison pour etaler ton ignorance aussi aggressivement. Voici ce que le dictionnaire Webster dit(here is what Webster says about Voodoo:

also vo·dou \vō-ˈdü\ : a religion that is derived from African polytheism and ancestor worship and is practiced chiefly in Haiti

[FarFromEquilibrium]

intense drumming. I think I would go into posession after a while listening to that.

[OMBhuvah]

I would like so much visit Benin, but my French is terrible bad... :((( I am going to try to improve it and AFTERWARDS I HAVE REALLY TO GO to this fantastic country!!!!! Hope it doesn't take to long learning French... hope, hope!!!!!!!

[gurgur6]

oops i did mean this to comment of certain comment sorry

[adunbarin4]

Clear Yoruba influence!

[YoungD509973]

IL SONT FOU C°EST JENM

[Dginou]

Nous, les Haitiens sommes fiers de notre culture africaine et c'est chaque jour qu'on parle de l'Afrique Dahomey en Haiti.Le vaudou n"est pas une religion en Haiti. C'est une culture. Toute la population ne pratique pas le vaudou, mais on est tous conscients de cette culture au pays. Nous avons plusieurs religions,la majorite des Haitiens sont catholiques. Les catholiques pratiquent le vaudou ouvertement. Ceux des autres religions le font en cachette. On salue les ancestres de Dahomey au vodou

[Dginou]

Our ancestors came from Dahomey which is now called Benin. Therefore as Haitians we are descendants of Dahomey Benin people. Benin people look exactly like Haitians, and some words in creole are in the Benin's people language. Haitians practice voodoo the same way as in Benin. We don't have to look further for our roots in Africa.

[beninchild89]

C'est vraiment bien dit. Soyons fier de notre Culture . La plupart des gens le prenne négativement.

[NZMaorihaka]

What is he doing from 00:21 to 0:24?

[haitianmajic]

I heard that Haitians are the desendants of the people from Benin/Dahomey. they say voodoo originated in benin.

[neochango]

there are different denominations/practices of vodun as there are christianity and islam. Don't put everything in one box.

[franciscan2007]

[Dginou]

If you live in New York City, you can go to an Haitian voodoo party in Brooklyn on Saturday March 15 or the following Saturday March 22. This is for the feast of St.Patrick which in voodoo the Haitians celebrated as Dambala. I'm sure there will be many voodoo parties on those 2 dates in the Flatbush area or Canarsie in Brooklyn, New York. You can check some Haitian botanicas in the area and ask the owners if they are having any parties. They will be glad to have you on board. It's interesting.

[FLICIOUS]

Shidwe katika jina la Yesu! AMEN

[KABOODLE562]

That was... wierd.

[Nonphixion2]

Lol @ 3:50 the nigr tries to steal the chicken.

[gurgur6]

are you racist or are you trying to make people laugh?

[CCRCOSTA]

Este vídeo é um ótimo documentário sobre o culto aos egunguns.

The Mighty Boosh!

[lumirees]

Cheese is a piece of meat.

[lumirees]

I've just been to Benin for the voodoo festival and it was awesome - one of the best weeks of my life! The Voodoo people I met were living peacefully alongside Christians, Muslims etc. The people had respect for all systems of belief there. We in the West can learn a lot from these guys.

[candee1980]

I want to go to a voudou festival, how would I arrange that? I'm pretty sure my local travel agency doesn't offer anything like that.

[lumirees]

I went with a British company called Explore but I'm sure you can book their trips in the USA, or in fact anywhere in world. You can book a 'land only' trip and arrange your own flight. I recommend going to Benin for voodoo, especially around January 10th in Ouidah, as that is when/where their big voodoo festival takes place. Check out the trips called 'Voodoo Villages' and 'Cradle of Voodoo'.

[candee1980]

Thanks!

[pauljuny1]

im tire of all ya comments, all types of voodoo and acient cultures are from d devil either europe, Africa or America until we all see d light. Jesus is the only true God.

[missRbeckett]

Oh shut up.

[babypeace]

loooooooool

[missRbeckett]

Why do you feel the need to peddle your nonsense. Go away.

[dayron25]

hou je waffel! :P

[gurgur6]

Jesus isn't god, he's SON OF GOD, and, i think you suppose to respect other religions and cultures.

[ChristianIsraeli]

@gurgur6 The Father and the Son are both God, Jesus said, I and my Father are one, and before Abraham was "I AM". God is Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

[bmakharita]

@ChristianIsraeli you have no clue how to rightly divide the scriptures. you take one or two scriptures completely out of context and think you can prove a doctrinal point. This is why people reject Christianity as a confused and contrary faith because people with no true knowledge of the scriptures make incorrect doctrinal claims with no basis in scriptural accuracy.

[msayofemi1]

@ChristianIsraeli GODS OF DIFFRENTS tribes like mwari,mbobo,nana bulu,olodumare,chuku there was the spirits there was mudzimu the spirit world,njuzu,witches,preists/pr­eistess sp why do we get persecuted for our beleifes when we are the anncient knoledge and your religion is but written in a book if you realy havefaith why is everying out of a book why was it not passed down does this jehova dont remeber is he more ancient than the wisdom of the mother land i dont think so he was not there! huh!

[msayofemi1]

@ChristianIsraeli we were here before you afirika was themothe rland the the source of all knowledge so jjehova why he write in book he obviously cannot remember the words of his followers wht is he if he lets suffering into the world we know our reasons why everything happens cause NOTHINGS A ACCEDENT every thing has a purpose in life jehova the bible prayers he doesent even ask of anything in return how do we know he can hear your prays dont forget possesion is of all religions not only yours

[jackarf1]

@gurgur6 My question to you. Why would God have a son? Does he have a wife as well? Perhaps, parents of his own? This whole myth of associating a man with God is ludacris, if you ask me. But again, I respect everyone's right to believe in what pleases them :-) Just some food for thought.

[ani1616]

@gurgur6 Nah man he is God , he said me and God r one read the whole scripture don't just take out your favorite part borther.Voodo is wrong.

[kushiteballer]

@gurgur6 fuck Jesus..it's white supremacy. Ever since we got involved with that shit the black race has been fucked up. I ain't respecting that shit that oppresses my people and have them beleive in a fake god to keep us under religious mind control

[manohman17]

@kushiteballer i agree christianity destroyed the black race, once i was a christian and so many bad this were happening not until i turn to voodoo i found a new light a positive light

[fillfert756]

is obvious that all slaves didnt came from benin i didn't have to mention it, also.. brazil has voudo influence but I dint have to wite a complete essay, the post was specific

hope everything is clear

ok;)

[fillfert756]

(WALAIy)

i dindt say that all haitian came from benin,,i said , most of haitian have influence on benin vodou, and what I said about the slaves is not that all slaves came from benin to haiti, what i ment ,is that most of the haitian people who practice vodou (not the complete population) came from that region .i said benin because is the birth place but theres vodou practice in almost all west africa ,mali, burkina, togo, niger....

[cerzzz]

this is not vodou. vodou is a structured religion. this is a independent african cult to egunguns, dead people. its part of candomble now. and vodou maybe.

[Therion131]

Remember the Ghede even if they where partialy influenced by the Taino arawak people, and the modern spiritist churches can be seen as a sort of evolution of what in africa was the Egun (Egungun I belief is what the society was called) cult.

[babypeace]

most haitians are in benin

u should read books

and wacth documentaries

slaves from different countries didnt all meet up in 1 country do to go

[WALAIy]

Tomorrow another will claim they came from nigeria.

[WALAIy]

somewhere else someone else claim haitians came from congo,all lies there were no country in slavry days.

[WALAIy]

Most haitian are not from benin ,slaves came from all over africa not only from 1 country,saying most haitian are from benin is a big lie and ignorence,is like saying most african american are from 1 country which is not true slaves were captured all over africa .

[fillfert756]

hi....

for the first post...

actualy benin is the birth place of vodou..

and its moch diferent from what we know ...and from haitian cultur,,,yet.. haitian vodou , has complete influence from benin beacouse of all africans that came as slaves ,,,,

in benin 90% of the population practice vodou, for them is their religion, like i said the mayority religion in benin is vodou,,,is something more than a culture or something to practice,,,

[amphotep]

Africans in America have such a negative idea about Vodou and our African roots. it is ignored and shuned as if it were some disease. they just pick up their Bibles and call it devil worship. they must not know that Africans have a tradition of synchronizing Christianity and Islam with indigenous beliefs. instead of investigating the culture to find the GOD within it, they turn to a foreign concept of GOD and ridicule me for trying to find my roots. it is a lonely road that i must travel

[nguSipho]

you are not alone brother

[beninchild89]

I come from Benin. I just want to said that vaudoun is a part of our culture. But not 90%of the population practise Vaudoun. They're others religions ... Don't generalize. Sorry for my English, i speak French.

[realrootsd]

Yes, MOST of Haitian Loas are from Benin

[R3galis]

That's amazing! A really beautiful religion! The spirit with the horns reminds me of Lwa Bossou Twa Kon

[amphotep]

does Vodou in Benin have the same Loa or Loas as Haitian Voodoo?
