@GunKlappa welcome to african vodun

[GunKlappa]

@Siddone trust me science cant explaine everything and this is one of those things its too complex and advanced for science because its spiritual my friend

[GunKlappa]

@Siddone trust me siddone noone is inside it we live in a magical world and you dont even know it this knowledge has been lost else where africa is the only place thats been able to preserve this precious knowledge the western world has brainwashed and destroy this knowledge by enforcing science to explaine everything but wats funny is that science was only possible because of this same knowledge the top power elites know this

[Siddone]

I'm not a vodou believer but I'm graduated in Religious studies so I know what I'm speaking about. If you believe in it, you are free to do it and I respect you. But I, as a rational man, think that there is someone inside. it is far more reasonable to me then the existence of spirits. what i see is not a miracle, only a moving zangbeto and it is not sufficient to shake my rational way to think. I hope not to hurt your feelings, I respect your faith but I wish you respect my filosophy too.

Zangbeto is the local masqurade of the egun pple. My parents are eguns and I was born & brought up there so zangbeto was something I saw on regular basis. I do not know the in-depth of the rituals involved bcos it is fettish. The only thin I want to leave u with is that it is real & this is by far the simplest of what I have seen b4. I av seen one where the zangbeto gave birth to a smaller one and the smaller one grew up to a bigger one as we watched. But how they do these things is beyond me

hehe I'm not African. I just said that I'm just an African religion FOLLOWER.

Anyway, thing is: I'd like to know if you know this ritual well, as you said you are from Nigeria, I just would like to have a word with you - this is: if you are willing to explain me the concepts of the ritual as I do not understand much yet.

cheers

I didnt mean to say u werent an african. Alright if u think this is not real.

[PeterArmstrong19]

I do understand charms exist. I'm part of an African religion too, if you don't know. However, what I find a bit queer is the fact that the "ritual" was recorded, watched by an audience, and posted on youtube hahahaha. It can't be real!! Not that the ritual itself is not real. But this one, in particular, can't be! As far as I know, this sort of ritual should be done secretly, behind close doors and stuff. Correct me, if I'm mistaken. Do you understand much about the ritual? xoxo
