  • I love this video. I love this religion. I love the African people. Voodoo is amazing because it links christianity with Africa's native strength, beauty, love, and family values.

  • Lived in west africa, and practice voodoo several times. Scary shit, spirits want only killing and blood. Priests are posessed all time! Very dangerous.

  • Are you people daft? Voodoo has strong roots tied with Christianity, specifically Catholicism. Any side complaining about the other is just stupid.

  • This proves all those hollywood stereotypes wrong. I have been a Vodouisant for a while. I showed this to a friend who only believed the sterotypical Voodoo shown on movies. She was amazed. Voodoo is real, it's far more than spells, candles and oils. It's a way of life. It's about having a relationship with the ancestors, and the highest power through the Loa. May the sacred spirits be with you all

  • Ha, isn't this suppose to be an educational video? You clicked on it to learn not to bicker like 14 year old girls.

  • for god sake shut up with your religions respect everyone else please

  • 4:34 I FEEL BAD FOR THE CHICKEN, IT LOOKED SCARED! LOL

  • @lilmizzxdestiny read a book you f'ing idiot! pick up a bible, qur' an or a goddamn dictionary for starters! you give Christians a very bad rep.

  • WTF is wrong with u people voodoo is practiced in a 'light' manner by 90% of practitioners. The voodoo you are thinking of is Hollywood bullshit. Get a clue you culturally void morons!

  • i will never do voodooooo cause i belive in god not the devil idk how cutethe devil looks

  • Those christians were wrong because the bible forbid voodoo doesn't get more respect they get the from the power of darkness and the bible clearly forbids... jesus christ did his miracles him self cause he's God... he saves

  • one word for the hostility out there-- coexist

  • Bambootooto - This religion and shamanism have existed before the birth of Jesus. If you have enough time to think you will know that before Jesus another hero or prophet was known.

    Voodoo existed before Christ it deserves more respect from people who judge it only because they were taught or inspired to do so.

    You judge voodoo with christianity behind you and you don't even know your anicent christian teachers killed people who refused to do what they did and decided to follow ancient ways

  • uhhh, my dog is named Voodoo.

  • @myvoodoopuppy

    my pet bunny rabbit was named nigger and was a she , i loved her more than sleep , more than television and the radio .

    my pet hamster was named autumn after the best weather in my nation ever and was a male and i loved him more than as above .

  • This religion is super freaky. My heart goes out to those troubled people worshiping the devil, they do not know Jesus Christ. Lord, I pray they will come to know you because you are the way and the truth and the life.

  • @Bambootooto LMFAO

  • @Bambootooto fuk up

  • Honestly, i grew up in a christian household. I'm a christian myself. I admit....as a child, i used to be afraid of vodou...due to the sterotypes and my ignorance towards it, but now that im 18..i've decided to expand my mind. I honestly dont see anything wrong with voodoo...its not only a religion but a cultural way of life. Voodoo isnt what the media potrays it to be. If most people would take the time to learn about it, we wouldnt be as scared.

  • @dinga10bam umm yeh mr christian. i beleive a God says not to have any gods besides GOD

  • @whooperpooper86 You're correct, he does. But you still have to respect other people's religions. Im not against vodou, just like im not against hindu, muslims, rastafarians etc. all im saying is, before we judge something, at least do your research on it so you can have a better understanding. Base your opinion off your own knowledge....not off the media's

  • @dinga10bam hey, im against it. i wont go and stop people from living their way but im not gonna practice any of it. im not gonna allow it if it was my choice but people have the freedom of religion so go ahead im not gonna stop or go stop u. i dont base my opinions off my own knowledge. im stupid but the Bible is 100% correct so i try to base my knowledge off that. God says he is the only way and you shouldnt worship any thing else. idc what religion it is, if its not God then its not right.

  • @whooperpooper86 .. listen mate .. I have nothing against jesus christ .. I respect every single religion .. I just don't like christians that claim stuff like - the bible is the only truth, or there's only one god and blablabla , cause that is just your point of view ... religion is tricky sometimes it preches brotherhood but then it claims that if someone believes in something else is kinda corrupted .. The bible is a great book , but it's not the only one ..

  • @whooperpooper86 .. that is just your belief , respect all the others ... christians criticize other religions often without knowing nothing about their own ... even in the politheistic religions there is only one god , but it has many expects in many different names ... in the bible for exemple god has a lot of names , depends on the sphere where the light is decending

  • @unripevocal i dindt disrespect any religion?!?!? God is God the father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit all in one. its one God. "i am the way the truth and the path no man cometh unto the father but by me" that a verse i forgot from where but God is the only way !

  • I'm a Christian and i know the holy bible so your wrong when u say all christians unrivaled prove cal and were not like sheepskin as the matter of fact u r and since your tryin to put other religions down what do u believe in

  • im scared …

  • Even in Africa they KANZO.

  • Nice video...........may the Fon people & all African peoples who follow their Ancient Religions/Spirituality be forever Blessed...........may the bullshit & poison that came to Africa with the curses of Christianity & Islam begin to quickly fade away...........93, 93/93

  • im scared

  • domage je n'ai pas de son!!!! too bad the video is mute, no sound?????

  • i need help so bad my email is crazysabastian@yahoo.com i am in Jamaica

  • @ 4:22 she blinks while she is to be told she is lifeless. why is that...im not disrespecting there beliefs because everyone has there own but i just wanted to

    know

  • wow

  • i still think she has some kind of a desease.... but all of them think it is some kind of possession. she needs to get checked. :( but i am sure they have no circumstances for that to happen. :(

  • It is only when HAITIANS went back to their traditional voodoo beliefs that they EXTERMINATED and kicked out the French and Spanish armies in the 1800s AD

  • @dogons2k12 good luck proving their voodoo had anything to do w/ their victory

  • @PacmanBonez dude read between the lines ...

    A) At least no voodoo priest told them to accept slavery

    B) no voodoo priest forced them to abandon their indigenous languages and writing systems for Latin languages to be heard by GOD.

    C) no voodoo priest destroyed their culture and forced them to adopt LYING ASS Christianity

    D) no voodoo priests owned a ship named "GOOD SHIP JESUS" with African slaves heading to the americas.

    E) no voodoo priests built a slave fortress named "FORT JESUS"

  • @dogons2k12 LOL... you are about as ignorant of the scripture and >REAL< christian history its sad

  • @dogons2k12 If they would have held on to they masters religion , they would have still been slaves, christanity is a Slave making religion.

  • im catholic and i think this is a very interesting fascinating culture. God some people need to learn to respect others beliefs......

  • @libbie7777 oh its QUIET not quite. Shame the big JC can't teach you to spell....

  • @libbie7777 belief and faith is nothing but optimism and a distinct lack of evidence. Check this out libs...THERE IS NO GOD!its a real shame u will never fully understand this as death is a full stop. Nothing after, so you don't even get to realise how absurd religion is. It's a shame really but once you have passed your dna on that's it, that's all we are here to do.

  • i still dont get what voodoo means

  • @boomslangchao Voodoo means,Holy,Pure

  • lol

    

  • @libbie7777...u religious people love to ignore the plain and simple fact that there is not ONE PIECE of evidence to support the existance of a "god"....and no the bible doesnt count as that is just a collection of children's fairy tales. No more evil is committed on this planet than that in the name of religion. Viva the atheist bus...there is probably no god so just get on and enjoy life! Ps god doesn't exist....wow check that out ....no lightening bolt has struck me down!

  • @plopperhead be quite with your lame excuse . besides im not talking about religion. religion is a lie its about relationship with the savior Jesus Christ the one who died for our sins

  • @plopperhead intersesting comment cause you believe in the bibel you told me in a message that i should read it obama is a bad president bla bla ther wil be a micro chip i dont even know so i think maybe youre schitzofranic yea im from holland so my englesh is bad who cares

  • no obama isnt a bad black guy, obama is the first black american president in hystory. black power!!!!!!!!! it was a long way bud look whos on top now??? whites are talking abouth blacks dont know how to raise teire children!!!! youre so full of sperm you dum eas raising children has ghot nothing to do with color.

    bud color has everything to do with voodooo cause oure ensesters are reel angry of what happend to them and all whites are curresed, by an old voodoo spell al blacks now this

  • @sosononsens

    Shut up you ignorant idiot.

    Learn to spell and stop being a filthy racist.

  • @sosononsens Obama is half white so what. he still the worst president no matter what color. he working to distroy the constitution and our money he wants us to be so far in debt our money fails and then we have to join the world with global money and that will fail and they will want to chip your hand or forehead with the mark which the bible says if you take that mark you will burn forever in hell read revolations in the bible.

  • @libbie7777 ... i thought the bush's where kinda worse

  • @sosononsens obamas a bad black guy 

  • it's gotta be real, their reactions and how they moved around during the situation seemed real, they made no eye contact with the camera man nor looked at the camera. i think many things are closed, and many cultures reveal it from a different perspective and thought. we as americans are set on one thought, we dont dig deep enough.

  • @bigb771 silly troll tricks are for kids :L

  • Voodoo freed the slaves of Haiti's were as Christianity could not

  • @CerromeX i don't see how voodoo freed the slaves. that conflict was mostly political blunderings by Napoleon effort in europe followed with overall neglect of oversight of the french American territory. he didn't didn't see the effort to put down the rebellion as he was out of cash hence why the US got that land purchased. also, the two religions don't conflict as much as you would expect. you can practice both. also, Pop Doc used voodoo to scare the crap out of his people and ruled brutally..

  • @Shock233 Voodoo freed the slaves simple as that I shouldn't have to explain

  • @CerromeX voodoo another lie from hell

  • @libbie7777 so is Jesus

  • @CerromeX no jesus is the way the truth and life and if you believed he would show you. he only moves by faith and satan moves by fear. those are thees only 2 roads one to heaven one to hell.

  • @libbie7777 so true the devil works with these so called spirits that ask for things like blood

  • @THESuperiormentality yes it is

  • @CerromeX No wrong

  • @CerromeX bolony

  • @libbie7777  Ham

  • @CerromeX and cheese

  • @libbie7777 lectuce and bread

  • if what you believe dont include jesus then your on the wrong road

  • @libbie7777 allah and budda

  • @CerromeX allah and budda are dead Jesus is alive

  • @libbie7777 ... what are y talking about .. they come from a different culture ...

  • @libbie7777 its spelled bologna dumbass

  • @MrDjSeamless325 what do u care How I spell . and bolonga would have not made sence so i say Bolony to you too

  • I'M GUNNA DO MY SEXY DANCE!! WOOHOO! lol i love that ad :)

  • The chicken is scary..

  • Lulz a chicken

  • voodoo is satanism

  • @iorixs? So as Halloween, Madi Grass Carnival and the Religion Cabala? This is all traditional believe system known by Psychic readers and Astrologist.

  • @iorixs They don't worship satan, so I don't believe they are satanist. You have so little proof that voodoo is satanist, I could say christianity is satanism with the same excuse, because it's different, get a life arrogant lost child

  • Aza Ganu could pass for Wyclef!

  • if talking abt religions, True Christianity is all about Peace and Love. Never judge, hate, kill, steal all it needs in this life is being a "Good Person" starting from inside.. whatever you believe whoever you worship.. JUST BE a GOOD PERSON

  • horses fa courses!:)

  • Shamanism, withcraft were the first religion ever created. It is tribute to real and universal God - nature. When it comes to nature, it is the same everywhere, and gives the same gifts for people. Nature gives us food, water, everything indispensable for life. Church is lead by people, is for power and control. God presented by Church was made to frighten and control masses.

  • @JiggaNiggaFigga

    shamanking ftw

  • @JiggaNiggaFigga Could't have put it better.

  • @JiggaNiggaFigga fuck u u beleve in booty bitches and mother fockas u little wanker witch craft isnt real if it was proove it make something levivate u wanker how old r u 9?

  • @JiggaNiggaFigga my savior,someone who was beaten for his enemies (us) someone who i curse everyday for satan,someone who forgave my sins,even though i deserve to be burnt in hell for the things i do ,think and say,Jesus is who the world hates the most because he is the truth,he shows us wat wrong with us,and people dont like that so they curse him,but he is coming back majestly for his chosen ones,believe it or not every man will bow down to him,he is the alpha and the omega peace my brother

  • @ani1616 are you saying that we should bow down to something that may or not exist? or am i misunderstanding you?

    Even if what everybody says is true, I would never want to follow a god that demands we bow down to him.

    I beleive ther is probably something after life but i highly doubt any religion is even close to the truth

  • @JiggaNiggaFigga the churches and education in your area must be shite for you to think that

  • @JiggaNiggaFigga ... witchcraft , shamanism , and magic in general are not religions . It's important to understand the difference .

  • @JiggaNiggaFigga you cant prove one word of this

  • Voodoo or what would be considered witchcraft has some form in almost every civilization that has ever existed. I've been reading the comments on hear and being close-minded is only half the problem. The other have is plain ignorance. Most peoples understanding of spirituallity is 1st grade level at best, but that's only because they got their understanding through religion. There's a difference between religion and spirituallity.

  • They say christianity is a slave religion??? JUST LOOK AT THIS!!! threatened by spirits

  • Deuteronomy 18:10-12. "There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire or one who practices witchcraft, or a soothsayer, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, or one who conjures spells, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead. For all who do these things are an abomination.

  • @frombtown ... dude ... this is not a christian church ... this is an african tradition who has nothing to do with christianity ... full stop

  • In the bible it says "thou shalt not suffer a witch to live", AND THAT IS ALL IT SAYS! The bible doesn't even talk that much about witchcraft, yet people make such a big deal about it, saying it's evil and satanic. However, the bible does mention a lot about how people shoudn't judge and discriminate each other for their personal beliefs. Hmmm, I guess the people that call themselves "Christains" decided to skip those versus in the bible, just so that they could get away with bashing others.

  • @racheladams456 Although the Bible tells us not to judge we are given wisdom to make discernment s on what is evil and good. to make an judgment is to sentence. i am simply making an observation and giving the action the title it is known for. for example the police catches u stealing then u r a thief, he did not judge bcuz he doesn't have the authority to judge but he did use his knowledge to determine that the act is wrong.

  • @TheHapyBunny91 yeah yeah say whatever u want to say but spirits arent real

  • Haitian Mother Sets Her 6 Year Old Child On Fire To Remove Evil Spirit

    March 24 2011 - Marie Lauradin was accused of setting her daughter Frantzcia Saintil on fire expectint to liberate her from evil spirits.

  • devil worship

  • @PacmanBonez ... the devil is a christian character ... this is an african tradition , a different culture that has nothing to do with the bible ... they don't know what the devil is cause they are not christians ..

  • @unripevocal negative.. biblical truths are absolute ..

  • @PacmanBonez ... there are many other religions and belief in the world . We are born in quite a big world .

  • @unripevocal and...

  • @PacmanBonez ... and a muslim will claim that mohamed is the truth , a christian will say that jesus is the truth , a chinese will stand for confucio or lao tsu , in india they'll pick up buddha or shiva . I don't understand your point man . Be happy with your culture , religion , magical system or whatsoever , that doesn't mean you should judge all the other systems and belief . War is generated by this kind of thoughts . Just respect and love your faith

  • @unripevocal i guess we'll see who's right on judgement day

  • @PacmanBonez .. are you kidding ??????

  • @unripevocal not in the slightest

  • @PacmanBonez ... i thought you had a brain .... sorry for bothering you

  • @unripevocal nice character shot

  • @PacmanBonez .. biblical truth are like gold .... is the biblical followers that stink of shit

  • @unripevocal then follow the bible

  • satan

  • wow, the comments section is full of close-minded people.

    i'm an aheist and no i don't believe this stuff is real but at least i can RESPECT their beliefs and not accuse them of being satanic evil people.

  • @TheMightyP00tis Thank you very much, I wish there were more open minded people like you, especially Christians who wouldn't judge or accuse people's beleifs

  • @uncleruckus714 the sad truth is that people will always have misconceptions in things they don't know about.

  • @TheMightyP00tis Man...I dont kno.. like they say they dont worship the devil but,,,this shit is 100% real and the things I've seen done using Obia..or "voodoo" is un-believable..& i dont blame those in my country who believe this is satanic worship. You should watch some underground videos of voodoo rituals not ones on youtube u'd be speechless

  • @ShottaBoyProduction ... you gotta understand that no matter how spooky voodoo can get , it has nothing to share with the devil . It's another culture , they have different forms of belief .

  • @ShottaBoyProduction ... please .. as I'm doing researches on these subjects could you please give me a clue on where to find these videos . thanks a lot in advance

  • @TheMightyP00tis sorry but it is satanic and let me be more clear in this life since were all born sinners were born into satan kingdom. thats why we must be born again . so we can be Gods children and so we can go from satan kingdom to Gods kingdom spritually . its not about desrespect its about saying the truth. the truth sets you free. jesus is the way truth and life no man goes to the father but by him. only 2 roads broad road and narrow road. thats it.

  • @libbie7777 ANOTHER NUTTER THATS BEEN BRAINWASHED. WHERES YOUR EVIDENCE YOU RETARD?

  • @91919191ryan its about faith if you want to see God without faith your lost.

  • @libbie7777 ... libbie you are laughable

  • @libbie7777 will see if ur laughing on judgement day and u face the Lord jesus christ . and God will ask you what did u do with my son whon died for ur sins. did u except him or reject him. u will have to answer that question.

  • @TheMightyP00tis im atheist too but you have a point, people at least have to respect their beliefs.

  • @TheMightyP00tis .. finally somebody with a nice working brain .

  • I wonder what the chicken stuff is about! 

  • WTF?

  • @BloodyMary1601 i might be able to

  • v0odoo is just a form of emotional abuse its such an ignorant way to live

  • @ceinwenstrawberry Talking about something you know nothing about is completely ignorant

  • @ceinwenstrawberry .. tell me something about voodoo please , what do you know about it ???

  • what a load of old bollocks !

  • well white people do wicca it might as well be the same thing!!!

  • @MagicalOillusions Wicca is not evil.

  • Comment removed

  • @AngelicAcid453

    neither is Voodoo. if you look at the pre-Wiccan folk magic traditions of Europe, they have a lot in common with the folk magic traditions of voodoo. because peoples needs are the same, wherever they are from.

  • @GalenaNola mhmm

  • I think its sad

  • ppl these days make voodoo sound like n evil religion, wid black magic and always the association with evil dolls n watever, bt lookin at this, these ppl rnt violent at all. if ppl actually educated themselves bout these things, ppl wouldnt b so ignorant

  • it's a little weird for someone like me, but everyone has their own way of life. if they want to live like this, let them be.

  • @crackerkiller187 actually all three started in kemet {egypt}!!!

  • what a load if shit.

  • im not gonna practice voodoo because i dont wanna get a spirit demanding me stuff. im perfectly content with my religion thank you very much.

  • my friend who's from ghana said he saw a boy turn into a chicken for picking up money at the side of the road. at first i laughed but the more i think about it the more i get the feeling very strange stuff does go on. its fascinating really.

  • Wicca, Pagan, Buddist, Hindu, Jewish, Persian mytics were the oldest religions / and ifi left anybody out let me know. Oh and i think Voodoo

  • @Joeyal123 pagan is not a religion. It's any non-mainstream religion but I guess you mean a scandinavian,germanic or celtic religion?

  • @LB5694 sorry about that  it was late LOL thats what i meant to say LOL

  • @Joeyal123
