Religions related to Vodun are: Candomble, Lucumi, Macumba, and Yoruba) General background: Vodun a.k.a. Vodoun, Voudou, Voodoo, Sevi Lwa ) is commonly called Voodoo by the public. The name is traceable to an African word for "spirit". Vodun's can be directly traced to the West African Yoruba people who lived in 18th and 19th century Dahomey. Its roots may go back 6,000 years in Africa. That country occupied parts of today's Togo, Benin and Nigeria. Slaves brought their religion with them when they were forcibly shipped to Haiti and other islands in the West Indies. Vodun was actively suppressed during colonial times. " Many Priests were either killed or imprisoned, and their shrines destroyed, because of the threat they posed to Euro-Christian/Muslim dominion. This forced some of the Dahomeans to form Vodou Orders and to create underground societies, in order to continue the veneration of their ancestors, and the worship of their powerful gods. "

3. TRADITIONAL RELIGION IN AFRICA: The Vodun Phenomenon In Benin TRADITIONAL RELIGION IN AFRICA THE vodun PHENOMENON IN BENIN. Barthélemy ZINZINDOHOUE. INTRODUCTION delegated his power to the vodun(s). Hence the vodun(s), recognized as Mawus creatures, according Fon expression "Mawu wê do vodun lê", are Mawus representatives among men http://www.afrikaworld.net/afrel/zinzindohoue.htm

TRADITIONAL RELIGION IN AFRICA: THE VODUN PHENOMENON IN BENIN Barthélemy ZINZINDOHOUE INTRODUCTION If it can be said that homo faber preceded homo sapiens , both these stages of humanity were borne by homo religiosus , an essential feature of man since the arousal of his consciousness. Indeed the religious phenomenon is not limited to a cult or an established link with the transcendent, but springs from the awareness of finiteness which gives rise to the need for the transcendent. Consequently, all men are religious, even if some are more religious than others, and the manifestations of human religiosity are numerous and owe much to the cultures of which they are the soul. In the specific case of the cultures of South Benin ( West Africa ), whose religious soul I wish briefly to present here, it appears that this is to be found in a convergent way in the phenomenon of Vodun . Most of the peoples of South Benin have very similar if not identical cultural roots, and almost the same historical origin. This is why the religious phenomenon in this geographical region is manifested most fully in Vodun (or Orisha , with the Nago or Yoruba peoples).

This time, the tug is more annoying, waking you from your gentle hazy stupor. You ignore it and concentrate on drifting back to your final rest... Suddenly, there comes a wrenching, clawing grasp that sends shards of pain through every part of your being, as you are pulled from your stupor and dragged down, down out of the light and into the darkness. Suddenly, the shadows draw back from your face, and you find yourself struggling to move, pinned in on all sides. Dirt fills your mouth and eyes, and as you struggle to cry out and gasp for air, you realize that you don't need to breathe. You are not buried alive.

Main Page See live article Alphabetical index Vodun Vodun (aka Vodoun Voudou Vodou Voodoo Sevi Lwa ) is an animist, or nature-based religion that originated in West Africa with the Fon and Yoruba people. The name Vodun is derived from the local african word for spirit , and can be traced back about 6,000 years. Today, Vodun is practised in Benin , the Dominican Republic Ghana Haiti and Togo . It is the state religion of Benin and has recently been recognized as an official religion in Haiti. The majority of the Africans who were brought to Haiti and the southern US as slaves were from West Africa, and their descendants are the primary practitioners of Vodun. The survival of the belief system in the New World is remarkable, although the traditions have changed with time. One of the largest differences however between African and American Voudun is that the African slaves of Haiti and the southern US were obliged to disguise their gods ( Lwas ) and spirits as Roman Catholic saints , a process called syncretism Most experts speculate that this was done in an attempt to hide their " pagan " religion from their masters who had forbidden them to practice it. To say that Voudun is simply a mix of West African religions with a veneer of Roman Catholicism would not be entirely correct. This would be ignoring numerous influences from the native

Finding texts about African religion in the public domain was not difficult. These books have a great amount of useful information on this topic, some of it written before colonialism destroyed or greatly modified aspects of traditional culture.
