Vodun

Vodun, also known as Vodou or Voodoo, is a spiritual tradition that originated in West Africa and was further developed in the Caribbean, particularly Haiti. It involves reverence for spirits called loa or lwa, ancestors, and natural forces, serving as intermediaries between humans and the divine. Practitioners engage in rituals, music, dance, and offerings to seek guidance, protection, and healing. Vodun emphasizes community, spiritual connection, and the power of rituals to maintain harmony with spirits. It is a complex and culturally rich faith that blends African beliefs with elements from Christianity and local customs.
