  • People really make me laugh.... so assured of your own superiority that your on EVERY post with blacks on it saying " intellectual insults" like the N word.... or Apes... no wonder the republican party is in shambles....

  • Voodoo is not evil depending on how it is used.

  • Voodoo macht mir Angst, ebenso wie schwarze Magie, Fluch... Sollte durch Voodoo ein Mensch verflucht werden, fällt es auf dem Urheber 3* zurück...

  • This is all evil. You cant fight evil with evil. Jesus is the only truth!! Open your eyes people. Read Daniel 70 week. End is near.

  • @TheS3NS3Y what a fool you are....

  • My ancestors are from Haiti. It doesn't deal with the devil. It's all based on how u use it. Some ppl use it for the good and some ppl use it for bad things. In this case they was trying to save someone from an evil spirit.

  • the priest is summoning spirits to get rid of spirits?? this is fucked up

  • Voodoo is the most powerful religion. By far.

  • In America we call them crackheads.

  • @khmerjitsu in other countries, we call Americans lazy.

  • THEY'VE GOT FRIENDS ON THE OTHER SIDE....

  • A wonderful insight shared...and you met Iris Murdoch! I love everything I read on Dreaming Beneath The Spires.

    Thank you!

  • I have a magical voodoo spell that guarantees health and prosperity...clean up all of your trash and burn it/bury it away from water supplies and boil your water before drinking it. Preferably summon some local workers to dig drainage channels and channel the raw sewage into a cesspool or fast-moving waterway. Disease will disappear.

  • Eventually, more advanced techniques like water chlorination and central plumbing will totally purge the evil spirits.

  • How come voodoo doesn't work against the French? They might be able to mix some chemicals, but if you have real spiritual power why are you all so broke and impoverished ? Yall better wake up ,it was GUNS that liberated you from France and GUNS will liberate you from poverty.Member there was a war in the heavens ,but the angels didn't pray for a solution,according to their bible they went to war .That's what Black people here for now : Righteous MENTAL, SPIRITUAL, FINANCIAL and ARMED WARFARE !

  • Everyone talking about Satan and the Devil, Voodoo does not believe in that, those are Christian contructs.

  • Oh my

  • Omg

  • thedrummanx is ignorant. you are basically implying that those who brought christianity were on the side of god, while the murdred, rape, and abused women, men, and children. moreover, they denied them education and enslaved future generations.

  • Haiti actually made a pled with Satan. You probably think its fake but the deal was if Satan would take them out of the hand of the. French they would sell there soul and If you don't believe me it is actually written in blood. And all these talking about NIGGER shut up!! U don't even know what it means it ain't just for black people it's just means dirty! So know what he saying before u start calling it racist

  • im wondering, My grandpa is black and my grandpa is white, & I ended up being white in the winter & kinda black in the summer. Does this make sence? Pm me if u know more

  • That's demon possession if I ever saw one. Poor people. May God free them from their demonic influence.

  • @saveyoursoulyt your religion isn't the only way my friend....your judging and according to your book, that is wrong as well....so may God above free YOU or that demonic influence

  • nigga is a nigga is not a bad word is hip hop lerics ,,

  • Between the Catholicism and the VooDoo, they are ripe for demon possession; they are just begging for it.

  • @PhatTenor You don't pay attention very good. They said: "They forged a new spirit religion, one that incorporates elements from it's adversary, the Catholic church".

  • Savages. The whites showed them a real major religion... no use.

  • @badballiance87 You're a fucking idiot.

  • that guy that's being tormented, his voice is scary .___.;;

  • lol

  • The blood of jesus

  • Jesus The blood of jesus

  • here in new york roberto would just be considered a crazy muthafucka lost his natural mind

  • @perrinmontenegro lol, or a crackhead

  • Berto was possesd by a homosexual spirt

  • Find me a voodoo or any other religion videos THAT DON'T generalize or have biased people commenting, this includes interweb holy war comments too! Won't people stop with the over generalization just to get money, page-views, etc.

  • Devilish and I more than strongly disagree

  • haiti is catholic only because of spain ,and france who started slave trading from north africa to the states and europe,i wouldnt mess with voodoo this spiritual crafting comes from the days of egyptian culture ,before even catholicism or christianity was created,before we became sheep...:P

  • Garibay and unitor stfu

  • lol...lmao.HAITIAN VOODOO!!!

  • LOL Racist people are a bunch of fail dinoasaurs that got ownt by a meteor (1 man) and very few that are left struggle to survive till this day

  • Does voodoo really work?

  • @Luvie1980 yes

  • I can't believe people think Voodoo is some type of devil worship! Don't you know that Voodoo has been around long before the idea of Satan was even thought?

  • Voodoo looks a bit ridiculous to western culture, however there is an amazing interview on coast to coast with E. A. Koetting... It'll really change the way you think about life and the spirit world. If you have an hour to spare watch it, proberbly the most fasinating video on youtube and that says a lot as there is some incredible videos here.

  • WHO DO YOU VOODOO, BITCH !?

  • @MelodicMaster1 haha dead island bitch

  • This is the reason they all have Gods wrath...wth is this shit

  • bla ck freaks

  • The appropriate name is vodou. Voodoo is a term and an imagined idea created by Hollywood that falsely connects a Haitian religion to images of pin dolls and the occult. Vodou is is a religion that includes an all powerful being( called Bondye).Bondye however does not interfere with the lives of humans. The spirits(resembling catholic saints) are the ones who interact with human beings. A person serves the spirits in return for guidance or favors. Similarity to Christianity.

  • Voodoo is a religion created by satan. No wonder why these people suffer so much, they are so poor and etc. here is the answer.

  • @zesedentario Christianity was created by Jesus yet see what it brought us, the crusade, the inquisition, Friar Thomas De Torquemada's extermination of the Jews, Christianity justified slavery, and moderns wars fought in the name of religion. Millions have died under the banner of Christianity, name one person who lost his life in the name of Satan. People like you are swelling the numbers of Atheist worldwide.

  • @zesedentario You don't know what yur talking about. Ignorant

  • what a pile of bullshit

  • Why does it only seems that these sort of traditions only exist in backwards country's like Haiti. There is no logical explanation for voodoo apart from a psychological one. If you ask these people do you think aliens exist they would laugh in your face but they choose to believe ghosts n ghouls n shit.

  • @thejokerceso

    And why do ''backward'' believes like Christianity thrive in ''developed'' societies and countries like Brazil, Mexico or spain???

    There is no logical explanation to explain the existence of the ''Holy spirit'' or ''Angels'', except psychological one {Just like u put it}

    Yet people believe in these things like their lives depends on it.I doubt many of them believe in aliens either.

    Dude, U are Just a racist on the down low, with your ''double'' standards of Judgement. of people.

  • @thejokerceso mind your tongue and respect other people culture

  • @thejokerceso but christians are allowed to believe in spirits?and jesus some that theve never seen? i believ ein jesus and all that but why cant they believe what they want to believe people in usa say thing like "god spoke to me" usa even has exorcisms too

  • @dmdpro5 Dude have you ever heard of something called DMT (Dimethyltryptamine) Its the substance released from your Pineal gland (Your third eye) in your brain once you fall asleep that's what makes you dream and it also releases a heavy dose of it when you die. So people who die and come back to life who claim they saw angels or gods is just you dreaming while your body is not conscious. Same with these voodoo freaks, these so called priest know how to manipulate the brain. Psychological.

  • @thejokerceso I'm not sure what your point is here... But just so you know, DMT being released from the pineal gland, that you have labelled the "third eye" is one of many theories about this unique neurotransmitter. What does this have to do with voodoo rituals? I'm usure. You claim that this is responsible for near death experiences etc... I think the big question is if you are dead and this is released what is it that observes these dreams?

  • @26door Dude search it for it your self and then lets talk.

  • I love this video, I hope Berto is doing ok now.

  • people, just ignore those ignorant haters.... they enjoy making others mad, don't let them enjoy it.

  • There are a lot of opinionated people here, just let them get on with it....

  • FIND ME A FUCKING VIDEO WITH BLACKS THAT DOSENT HAVE THE N WORD

  • @blackgold161 yea- its gettin old now isn't it

  • @blackgold161 and @rawn3rve Thank you!!!

  • @blackgold161 you mean NIGGER?... cause I'm fucking tired of people scared of the word NIGGER!!!!....

  • @nate11star Because its a racist word. A word that offends a whole race. Thats probably the reason there are so many black on white crimes becuase they say the N word and end up dead

  • @blackgold161 that's bullshit... no word can offend nobody... they say that to each other all the time... and they call your sister "bitch"... so fuck politics correctness... I'm out of that shit ...and I live in Europe. :P

  • @nate11star No word can offend anybody? Serously? Words are what cyberbullies use and it makes kids commit suicide. Words start and end wars. And words do offend people/ That is how fights start with words.

  • @blackgold161

    haiti is native african religion , voodoo , jesus christ is an atheist story book made to cause fear and murder onto ladies and non atheists (christians)

  • @ukgreaterlondon What? Jesus Christ is an atheist story book?

  • I'm,but I don't give a shit. 0:47 is funny.

  • I used to respect Haitian traditional religion, but I have now realized they are mixed up. Homosexuals are rampant in Haitian voodoo practice, this would not be allowed in true African religion. Haitian must have confused Yoruba priests dressing according to the sex of their Orishas(male or female) with homosexuality. This alone proves they do not know what they are doing.

  • ai man 0o i an into voodoo :X

  • Just imagine if they the native Haitian met StevenJo

  • It is a tool for those who are weak and poor of intellect.

  • People believe what they want to believe - innit. Can't stop them. Voodoo is not my preference, yet I have seen dimensions of this in spiritual Baptists churches.

  • This is such bull shit.

  • And they wonder why their country is the way it is... Going against God and Jesus is not good.

  • @Mr517519 fuck god, jesus and voodoo! Most european countries are atheist and are doing fine dumb cunt!

  • @TickleMehNancy Well, you don't have to be mean about others religions because you're athiest. I understand that guy was being mean and he is wrong, but that doesn't mean you need to insult all religions, kay? :)

  • @6WingedHydraPheonix3 no it isn't okay keep your advice to yourself you gang banged cunt.

  • @TickleMehNancy Then keep your comments to yourself you cock-sucking motherfucker troll :)

  • @6WingedHydraPheonix3 this is the comment section cunt tard this is what the comment section is for...to write comments...you see now?

  • @TickleMehNancy Yeah, which means I can say my advice whenever I want to :)

  • @6WingedHydraPheonix3 No you can't, you can go back to choking on ur dads dick.

  • @TickleMehNancy How about you do that while I take time to express my freedom of speech you cunt-fart?

  • Why is it that all these people who claim to have supernatural powers through "magick," the origin of which lies mainly in the Middle East and Asia, live in the shabbiest and most pitiful shit holes in the world? How can they claim to have such power if they live in poverty? How did they end up being enslaved in the first place if they allegedly have such supernatural powers? Most of these people live off of crumbs, how the fuck can they kill someone magick pebbles or feathers? That's bullshit.

  • @Tianoevanova isnt religion a tool of the weak and poor?

  • I heared about this but i never ever seen this kind of priests. Voodoo is one of the kind of spituality and good for those people who believe on this .

  • Comment removed

  • @ObeKanobe

    i heard about that. but maybe there are various types of priests? also it is such a huge religion i think that we do no tknow all the details.

  • this is bullshit like the story the farm house

  • lol he hit the boy so hard at 2:40

  • voodoo's evil....just sayin

  • @omgliliflower No it's not.

  • Ideas have consequences. How have places that practice voodoo done, in terms of peace, justice and prosperity?

  • Calm the Fuck down everyone and enjoy the peace.

  • U all sound like ignorant fuckin racist ass pigs, what makes u feel that ur any better than these people to judje them? U ever heard of tolerance? I'm not haitian or african or none of that shit, but maybe u should sit just shut the fuck up wit all that antih

  • @rawn3rve hatian or african or none of that shit.... wow.. idiot.....

  • @rawn3rve the reason is because these people are clearly fucking retarded. 

  • And this is why haiti is a cesspool of failure. Pat Robertson was absolutely right, these 'people' are satanist and will never amount to anything.

  • @Revanchist12 You're half right. However it's not the fact that they are "satanists", but it's religion in general. It's been proven time and time again that as education decreases in a community, religion increases. Religion is caused by poor education, and the result is people acting crazy like in this video. You improve education standards in a community then general health will improve as well because people will go to doctors instead of resorting to this kind of idiocy.

  • @Aspenly Wee I must say that was an eloquent reply. However I am dismayed to say these people don't appear to covet education of any kind. I know a few who emigrated to the states and they are completely oblivious to reading or history or any other form of enlightenment. I am shocked at times when I see how they treat their environment and each other. I want to give them the benefit of being new to America, but third generations living in this country are behaving the same way, I am befuddled!

  • @Revanchist12

    You and your comment are ignorant as a Haitian woman I am disgusted. How can you generalize a specific group of people by your personal encounters. There are many Haitian immigrants that succeed in this country. Before you find the need to make ignorant comment educate yourself. You are oblivious to history. Have you heard of W.E.B. Dubois, Toussaint Louverture, Edwidge Danticat, Jean Baptiste Pointe Du Sable, or Dr. Rose Marie Toussaint.

  • I went with a team from the BBC to Haiti and we were investigating forests with a metal detector. We unearthed an ancient prehistoric road and some of our team mistakenly ate some soil from the dig. Two months later the sound engineer was writing love letters to Beyonce using the blood of a pigeon he had killed by kicking it to death at Waterloo station on a Saturday afternoon. He got six months inside.

    I have summarised the details in a letter to Mohamed Al Fayed for his comments.

  • @EggBagg26 DA HELL YOU TALKIN BOUT WILLIS!!!!!!!!!!

  • @6WingedHydraPheonix3 im haitian myself nd if u think dats voodoo is fake den u makin avery big mistake.ive been dere i c it all nd dats one of da reason why i dnt wunna go to ma own country..

  • @police561 I wasn't saying I don't believe, I just didn't understand what he was saying which is why I'm suprised that my comment is one of the top comments. Still, now that I've read his comment over again, I'm not quite convinced that's the truth. I have learned of the locations and otherwise that he was talking about now so I'm less ignorant. :)

  • I do not practice any voodoo and am not Haitian but come on, you just can say it is evil just from what you've heard, seen or read. We each have our goods and evils in each religion.

  • Comment removed

  • Haitians are Africans and stay true to there African spiritual beliefs. Who are you to say voodoo is false and evil.?? Last time I check the whiteman on the cross was false and evil. Western society will never understand voodoo and will paint the evil pictures of it. But, voodoo also helps to heal people. There's a good and evil in every religion. Some people are too ignorant to read or find out for themselves. I pity the fool who believes everything in mainstream media!

  • @SLIMGOODIES06 Very well said.

  • Voodoo is false and evil. Those who practice voodoo they are demons and ungodly people.

  • @MJacksonFakeDeath well i hate to tell you this but if your a christian if it was not for Pagans and Jews your religion would not exist. you need to evolve there is more bloodshed in Christianity than in voodoo

  • @MJacksonFakeDeath

    you don't know voodoo

  • @MJacksonFakeDeath i dont practice voudo but who the hell are you to make a statement like that.

  • God Bless Me

  • I love Africa!

  • Comment removed

  • Stay away from da voodoo mon

  • voodoo is pretty neat. I have an altar to Papa Legba in my apartment.

  • i am not telling anyone this to provoce or not show respect.. but i speak what the Lord wants me and what you need to hear because i love you, voodoo is of the devil and destroys people.. but Jesus saves and only He, and He is no religion God is love and the kingdom of heaven is righteousness and nothing unclean will enter therein, please my brothers and sisters turn from this wickedness... woe to them that call evil for good, and good for evil

  • they stoned 46 ppl within 3 months because of their catholic vodoo belives, goolge it, its disgusting

  • We our majority caltholic but there is nothing wrong with voodoo it is part of our west african culture and catholic religion :)

  • @MsTomas086

    read about what they do, voodoo is fucking crazy

  • @MsTomas086 read the first and second commandments.. and God is not religion He is creator and saviour of the world.. you cannot say that voodoo is nothing wrong when it is enemity agains God, God told the prophets to destroy all idols and false prophets that did all kinds of abomination and sacrifice in israel.. God is the same today as always and He call all the people to repent from theyre sins and turn to Jesus, there is no salvation in no idol or anything else, but only in Jesus CHRIST

  • @Rangel316 Why don't you shut the fuck up! And keep your damn God to yourself, why are christians always so damn intolerant towards other religions? It makes me sick, no wonder atheist only attack christians, they deserve all the hatred they can get.

  • @archangel385 !!! Christian fanatics are really annoying.

  • @archangel385 im not gonna shut up, witchcraft is an abomination and hurts people.. would you like me to just stand by if you would drown or be inside a fire? or would you tell me to shup up? i dont speak about no religion, i speak about Jesus Christ.. everyone has a free will, hope you will understand God bless you my friend, Jesus loves you

  • @Rangel316 You disgust me.

  • @Rangel316 You're an asshole, go fuck your worthless pathetic Jesus and get the fuck out of our sight.

  • @Frank7224 wow thanks for the productive words, i hope you feel good about yourself

  • @Rangel316 Your welcome. You deserved it.

  • @Rangel316 How do you know your religion is not the evil one? remember the bible has alsp written thousands of times to fit those views.

  • @MsTomas086 because Jesus came to save and if you would be a christian you would know it brother.. you know the first and second commandments... Jesus is the center of christianity and He came to save, free and heal people, He is the ressurection and the life.. there is no hurting or death in them that in Christ.. But in voodoo you hurt, you curse people and idolatry is a center in that relgion, it is a religion which centers around the flesh, that is why it is evil, i love all people so i tell

  • @Rangel316 Maybe that's what they want you to think.

  • @AIFLV i know what God has done for me, what i profess is not religion but a relation with the living God through Jesus Christ.. peace

  • @Rangel316 Then why don't you keep God and Jesus to yourself? Not everyone believes in what you believe in.

  • @AIFLV Because i care maybe :) there is only one that has died for your sins and thats Jesus, if you want to depend on Him or religion its your choice, but Jesus is the only one who can save you from hell and grant you heaven..

  • @Rangel316 You care? Yeah right! Here's the interesting thing, i never asked jesus to sacrifice himself for my sins in the first place. And another thing, if Heaven is going to be filled with jesus freaks like you, then i want no part in it, you can count me out. Why do i want to spent eternity in Heaven with a bunch of crazed jesus fanatics who are always intolerant towards other religions?

  • @Rangel316 In hoodoo you can hurt people, dont get it twisted bruh! If you are european or caucasoid, then I can clearly see why you dislike this African Religion.

  • This is the crap thats destroying Haiti.

  • Jimi Hendrix's Voodoo child brought me here.

  • will this work on anyone ???? since this is an incorporation of the catholic faith??

  • @LionBeatsProductions its not a catholic faith and dont even say im wrong cs i would know cs im haitian ; get it straight thank you :) have a nice day -___-

  • @LaLaLakisha1 if you know how to read i said INCORPORATED meaning to unite one thing with something else already in existence. i never once said it was a catholic faith.. wow you are stupid

  • @LaLaLakisha1 True true but wrong - if you know ANYTHING about haitian religion/ society - u would know voodoo and catholicism are DIFFERENT ; so lets get your issh together ; mmkayy

  • very interesting

  • @Lionzman you got that right

  • @Lionzman yet invokeing angels and saint is not the same?

    the lwa are like saint with tempers and moods, not just prozac onduces calmness...

    freedom of religon means all religions, not just yours

  • @AnkoSanSensei Invoking what angel ? I have never invoked an angel nor do i pray to any dead man. I pray to The God of the Bible Jehovah/Yah not dead icons and trinkets.

  • @Lionzman

    refering to the catholics and such, they call upon their saints and yet condem what is the same in haitian vodou, they treat their saint as if the saint are supposedly on prozac, what they acually have personalities.

    all i'm saying is i don't believe anyone should condem another religion because they don't understand it

    it was thinking like that, that cause so many genocides across the world, for the sole sake of religion

  • everyone always says oh well dont judge them for doing voodoo your just a christian everyone has a diffrent opinion lol which i agree to a certain point but what your really saying is none of it is real so shut up lol because if one is right and it says the other is evil then i have every right to judge,,one belief is right its only when u find it that the rest just fly out the window voodoo is evil all the spirits are messing with them masquerading as good

  • Adorei o video, no Brasil não existe Voodoo, temos aqui uma nação conhecida como Jeje que se cultua Vodun. Será que esta nação, tem haver com o Voodoo? Abraços.

  • this or that you are about to see is what i as a hatian is fighting here in america under the african americans. i will not be made a good nigger and i cannot entertain even attending the JIM CROW GODD NIGGER ACADEMEY to teach me how to live here.

  • Voodoo is proof of the spiritual realm! I just watched the entire video and this is what I would like to suggest for "Berto" (spelling?) f
