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.

Man after watching this stuff, I'm so glad that I am protected in the Name of Jesus Christ.

Why does this remind me of when people "get the spirit" in black churches? Is this a distinctively African trait? Or do any European or Asiatic cultures convulse during a religious experience? And plz no racist replies I'm genuinely curious about this

@mewmaster151 Hi - in fact there's a worldwide history of such "spirit trances" that range from shamans in Siberia and America (Asiatic and Native American people) through to Sufis and Dervishes (Middle East) and in the European tradition the Shakers. Today many white Baptist-Evangelist churches in the US practice speaking in tongues, influenced both by the Shaker tradition and their African-American counterparts.
Check shaman, sufi, speaking in tongues and shaker on Wiki for more info.

Now this is some real weird stuff. Reminds me on afro-brazilian macumba. But I liked the background song a lot. Would love to have the ID! ;)

@Poltermann Hi, glad you liked the video - the latter part is from Venezuela and is very similar to the Brazilian shamanism - like voodoo or santeria, all of these churches or cults - I use the word cult in the original sense of a form of worship, not suggesting sinister practices - come from a West African tradition and derive from slave communities across South America and the Caribbean.
Re the track - It's Ed Rush "The Raven", drumnbass classic from around 1992.

My favorite part is @ 2:04 when the African man dances with his big sword

@Blinggod51 Mine too - the rest of the vid is kind of morbid weirdness but that is strangely beautiful
