General background:
Vodun a.k.a. Vodoun, Voudou, Voodoo, Sevi Lwa ) is commonly called Voodoo by the public. The name is traceable to an African word for "spirit". Vodun's can be directly traced to the West African Yoruba people who lived in 18th and 19th century Dahomey. Its roots may go back 6,000 years in Africa. That country occupied parts of today's Togo, Benin and Nigeria. Slaves brought their religion with them when they were forcibly shipped to Haiti and other islands in the West Indies. Vodun was actively suppressed during colonial times. " Many Priests were either killed or imprisoned, and their shrines destroyed, because of the threat they posed to Euro-Christian/Muslim dominion. This forced some of the Dahomeans to form Vodou Orders and to create underground societies, in order to continue the veneration of their ancestors, and the worship of their powerful gods. "

TRADITIONAL RELIGION IN AFRICA: THE VODUN PHENOMENON IN BENIN Barthélemy ZINZINDOHOUE INTRODUCTION If it can be said that homo faber preceded homo sapiens , both these stages of humanity were borne by homo religiosus , an essential feature of man since the arousal of his consciousness. Indeed the religious phenomenon is not limited to a cult or an established link with the transcendent, but springs from the awareness of finiteness which gives rise to the need for the transcendent. Consequently, all men are religious, even if some are more religious than others, and the manifestations of human religiosity are numerous and owe much to the cultures of which they are the soul. In the specific case of the cultures of South Benin ( West Africa ), whose religious soul I wish briefly to present here, it appears that this is to be found in a convergent way in the phenomenon of Vodun . Most of the peoples of South Benin have very similar if not identical cultural roots, and almost the same historical origin. This is why the religious phenomenon in this geographical region is manifested most fully in Vodun (or Orisha , with the Nago or Yoruba peoples).

This forced some of the Dahomeans to form Vodou Orders and to create underground societies, in order to continue the veneration of their ancestors, and the worship of their powerful gods. Vodon was again suppressed during the Marxist regime. However, it has been freely practiced in Benin since a democratic government was installed there in 1989. Vodun was formally recognized by the Government of Benin in 1996-FEB. It is also followed by most of the adults in Haiti. It can be found in many of the large cities in North America, particularly in the American South. Today over 60 million people practice Vodun worldwide. Religious similar to Vodun can be found in South America where they are called

You're dead. You're certain of it. You can't say how long ago it was, or exactly how it happened. But you're positive that you're dead. Absolutely... Well, fairly certain. Because if you're dead, then how is it possible that you're thinking about being dead? Doesn't the state of being dead preclude being able to think about being dead? How is...wait. There it is again. A gentle nudging at the edges of consciousness. You are too dreary to notice it fully, and it fades away as you drift back to...then a tug. This time, the tug is more annoying, waking you from your gentle hazy stupor. You ignore it and concentrate on drifting back to your final rest... Suddenly, there comes a wrenching, clawing grasp that sends shards of pain through every part of your being, as you are pulled from your stupor and dragged down, down out of the light and into the darkness. Suddenly, the shadows draw back from your face, and you find yourself struggling to move, pinned in on all sides. Dirt fills your mouth and eyes, and as you struggle to cry out and gasp for air, you realize that you don't need to breathe. You are not buried alive.

Iconography Ogun Yemoja ... Home The Children of Dahomey A Brief History From 1513 to the 7th October 1886 approximately 1.3 million slaves were taken from Africa to Cuba. These Africans came from various parts of the African continent in waves. The four major groups indentured were the Bantu, Ibo, Yoruba and Ewe/Fon. The largest of these groups bought to the Caribbean were the Bantu from the Kongo. To this day Cuba maintains a rich Bakongo culture which worship the Nkisi, the deities under the name of Palo which originated in Angola and Zaire. From South East Nigeria the Ibo and Ijaw came approximately in 1762, among them the Efik who were brought with them the cofraternity of the Ekpe, known as Abakwa in Cuba. One of the last groups to be taken were the Ewe Fon from the Royal Kingdom of Dahomey, now Benin between 1750 and 1800. It is the Dahomeans and their legacy still evident today that will be discussed here. From the Ewe-Fon peoples that were enslaved and taken to Cuba preserved their traditional Dahomean worship of the Vodou. Commonly known as Arara by Afro-Cubans, from the word "Alada" a famous port on the Bight of Benin from which the slaves where transported to the New World. In Cuba the Dahomean religious practices, although having less devotees than the Lukumi are thought to be relatively free of creolised or syncretised religious practices due to the fact that the Dahomean peoples were brought to Cuba towards the end of slavery in Cuba and so had less time under Colonial rule in order to mask their practices. The Arara were the penultimate group to arrive, the last and most influential being the Yoruba which comprised of many heads of religious and political roles bought to Cuba (and elsewhere) as Old Oyo collapsed.

Gli Spiriti e Loa Lo scopo dei rituali Vodun è quello di entrare in contatto con gli spiriti e guadagnare il loro favore, offrendo loro sacrifici di animali e doni per ottenere aiuto in forma di cibo più abbondante, di un livello di vita più elevato o di una salute migliore. Gli esseri umani e Loa dipendono gli uni dagli altri; gli esseri umani provvedono al cibo ed agli altri beni materiali, mentre Loa provvede alla salute, alla protezione dagli spiriti demoniaci ed alla buona sorte. I rituali vengono tenuti per celebrare eventi fortunati, per sfuggire alla malasorte, per celebrare un giorno particolare di una stagione associato alla Loa, per commemorare un matrimonio, una nascita o un decesso.
