I know a lot of people especially Caucasian people go to Haiti to take part in Voodoo and know the secrets of the religion. But they’re the first ones to talk bad about it. So I can understand why the Benin people are doing it that way. Even though I don’t practice the religion, I believe it’s imperative that we keep it to ourselves.

The sick got healed. The white man came with a bible and a government, we lost our culture. They told us that our culture was evil and theirs was holy. Look at us now, global warming, incurable diseases, war, homosexuality, corruption and hard economic times.

    Wode Maya, it is an embarrassment for you as an ambassador of African cultural identity, to have never before traveled and attended this prestigious annual event, that is merely 5hrs drive away from Accra Ghana. When many others, many times, myself included, have travelled halfway across the globe to attend. Although I too am of African descent, and a traditionalist in the beliefs of my W.African ancestors, I’d also have been considered on a “tourist” visa, but I make great efforts to attend yearly or alternative years, yet others like yourself have full access and close proximity, yet don’t educate yourself about your own ancestors culture….

Now for what I know from friends who have gone, they went to the festival and also actual villages outside of the festival who practice under specific deities. It's a completely different experience. People there know those who are genuinely interested in learning and practicing the religion when they meet them.

    This is what was used to fight against the colonizers in many Caribbean countries. The reason they call it evils is because it is powerful when the people use it as a united force, so they had to prevent that use. It is a powerful mental and manifesting belief to be able to manipulate the elements within and out of yourself, and in nature.

    One year I attended a Oshun festival here in America. The women who did my alterations was from Nigeria. I walked in her shop and couldn’t believe my eyes! There she was dressed traditionally but watching Joel Olsteen a christian prosperity preacher. I didn’t say anything about it, I just laughed in my mind. Oh Colonization is some evil powerful witchcraft What’s the spell? Christianity ghost spell

    Maya I was born in Jamaica 🇯🇲 and Voodoo is not viewed as a good thing here. However, when someone is desperate for “help” for a family member or friends, visiting a voodoo person seems to be more common even if they are considered to be Christians. Some may not want to admit it. I can only guess there is good and bad voodoo and people are desperate when the church cannot assist. We use to have really good spiritual leaders and churches in Jamaica such as Pocco churches, who will be the help the community need, but that too became washed up and decreased in right spiritual connection. Everyone have to find their way because everything we thought was good is now bad and everything we thought was bad is now good. We all have to pray for wisdom and understanding and test the spirit. Be Bless. I love what you do.. 🙏🇯🇲🥰🥰
