Description

Haitian Vodou is a fascinating spiritual tradition, rich with magic and ceremony, song and prayer, dance and fellowship. But outside of Haiti, almost no one understands the joy and depth of this way of life. In Haitian Vodou, Mambo Chita Tann explores the historical roots and contemporary practices of this unique tradition, including:

- Customs, beliefs, sacred spaces, and ritual instruments;

- The characteristics and behaviors of the Loas, the spirits served by those who practice voodoo;

- Common misconceptions like "voodoo dolls" and the zombie phenomenon;

- Questions and answers about attending ceremonies and being part of a sosyete (voodoo house);

- Correspondence tables, Kreyol glossary, additional prayer texts, and an exhaustive list of reference books and online resources;

Well-documented, comprehensive, and enjoyable to read, Haitian Voodoo will be a valuable asset for those who want to discover Haitian spirituality as well as for students, practitioners, and researchers.
