  • can you say issues? What brings so much hate out of you? Vodou is for EVERYONE. you are not God, so therefore you cannot tell me what I am and am not.. I am not a destructive person, I'm a very loving, sincere person, that serves, God, my Ancestors and the Lwa. Do you honestly think God and Guinea would like how you act twords others?

  • Did I just read a racial comment? If you really are a servant of guinea as you claim, you should know that we are all brothers and sisters and we all come from the same place. How can you honestly say that color divides us; it doesnt make any sense dont you see? I dont know the person in this video, but as far as I can see he is only trying to connect with spirit, hes trying to learn- and I can certainly tell you hes not trying to offend or hurt anyone.

  • Greetings Houngan Moe! In the name of God, the Ancestors, and the Lwa!

    Thank you for posting this comment :-) I very much appreciate it. race has NOTHING to do with being a servant of Guinea...alot of people do not understand that... that video was from a while ago.. and it's of me.. but yes, I've learned quite a bit.. and I was only drumming for my own personal ancestors, a select few :-)

    Love and Blessings to you!

  • i agree with nubiangoddezz, ur ancestors were rapist,child molestors,pedophile who raped afrikan people, who tortured the aboriginee peoples,our divine afrikan ancestors are more divine than ur demonic ancestors,people who call the spirits of their oppressors they are asking to be continously oppressed, is that why malanduye, with hougans and mambos, yall can not get the united nations out of haiti,because yall worship white catholic images,u worship your own opressors.

  • oh they were? So, you know my ancestors, right? You know what they did.. there names.. jobs.. dislikes and likes, correct? Well then, you should know that they were nothing of what you say. Say what you want.. I reap the rewards of serving Guinea.. not you..

  • The spirits of Vodoo are not fighting against a race group of people, Vodou is fighting any arrogant Deified philosophy against whomever black or white who are imposing it on whomever black or white vodouizan. I'm a black Haitian Ougan,when I'm calling on the Spirits to assist me, I call on the 21 Nations of Loa, Maternal/Paternal, all "RACE", all Generation and on the dead to assist me. it is Very good to be Afro-centrist but don't allow yourself to be drunk on the delusion of skin pigmentation

  • Greetings Ryan,

    I have a few nasty comments now on my youtube. Not getting the whole european thing. Ryan, your drumming is wonderful and your altars are beautiful and you have the Right to worship your God, Ancestors or Lwas anyway that brings joy and happiness into your life.

    Honor and Respect,

    Mambo Christine

see all

  • @vodouisant6 lets not get it twisted- whites have created the slave trade -that is true but then again u r free to worship whom u want.

  • i practice some Vudon and Santeria and hoodoo, and my religion is basically Wicca. and i agree with you voduisant6, that you shouldnt take them down! lol. i have pentacles in my room, and on the other side i have offerings to the Orishas and Lwa! lol =]]! whatever works for you! =]]

  • we are all one and connected.. get over yourself and move on with it.. my Ancestors didn't create the slave trade! I have black ancestors and white ones, I have Indian ancestors and Romanian ones. who cares about the pentacle? It's not demonic.. they're CURTAINS lol.. they're there because I don't feel just because I am a vodouisant I should have to take them down.. they're nice.... and fyi they're not "demons" I'm calling.

  • it's far from drumming lol.. I can't drum.. I want to take lessons though.. some people on here say it's an insult pretty much, to my ancestors.. but I hear my ancestors and I know they don't mind...alot of people on here are very very rude and are very set in what they think.. so oh well.. I reap the rewards from serving God, my Ancestors and the Lwa.. they don't reap MY rewards..

    aiybobo!

  • Beautiful....I soooo want to learn how to play the drums for the ancestors...
