Haitian Vodou

Haitian Vodou is a spiritual tradition from Haiti that blends African, Indigenous, and European influences. It centers on a belief in spirits called lwa, who serve as intermediaries between humans and Bondye, the supreme God. Practitioners honor these spirits through rituals, ceremonies, music, dance, and offerings to seek guidance, protection, and healing. Vodou emphasizes community, ancestors, and the interconnectedness of all life. It is a deeply rooted cultural practice that provides spiritual support, social cohesion, and a way to connect with the divine and ancestral heritage.
