Liber XXXIII
Vodou, Hoodoo & African Diasporic Religions
Haitian Vodou, Louisiana Voodoo, Hoodoo, Santería and their West African roots.
The religions of the African diaspora are living traditions with deep histories: West African Vodun among the Fon and Ewe; Haitian Vodou, forged in colonial Saint-Domingue and the revolution of 1791; Louisiana Voodoo and the legend of Marie Laveau; the conjure and rootwork of African American Hoodoo; and the orisha religions of Santería (Lucumí), Candomblé and Ifá. This section explains their spirits, priesthoods, rituals and sacred symbols such as the vèvè, and separates their history from the Hollywood myths of zombies and pin-stuck dolls.
