Vodun (a.k.a. Vodoun, Voudou, Voodoo, Sevi Lwa) 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." 1 Vodun was again suppressed during the Marxist regime. However, it has been freely practiced in Benin since a democratic government was installed there in 1989. Vodun was formally recognized as Benin's official religion in 1996-FEB. It is also followed by most of the adults in Haiti. It can be found in many of the large cities in North America, particularly in the American South. Today over 60 million people practice Vodun worldwide. Religions similar to Vodun can be found in South America where they are called Umbanda, Quimbanda or Candomble.

TRADITIONAL RELIGION IN AFRICA:THE VODUN PHENOMENON IN BENIN 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). Vodun designates a venerated and adored divinity. It also defines the whole social, psychological and supernatural structure surrounding this popular sort of religiosity. Indeed, Vodun permeates everything. Before Christianity, one could see how all the social fabric, starting with the family, was imbued by it. This reality justifies the fact that the first missionaries in our region were not dealing with areligious human beings. The difficulties they encountered, conversions made without deep cultural roots and their tendency to throw local culture and cults into the same dustbin of "deviltry", leads us today to reflect anew on the Vodun phenomenon which continues and constitutes a challenge to the New Evangelisation.

Esoterismo La Religione Vodun - Voodoo Credenze Vodun o Voodoo Il Vodun, come il Cristianesimo, è una religione di molte tradizioni. Ogni gruppo segue un differente mosaico spirituale e adora un gruppo similare di entità, chiamata Loa . La parola significa "mistero" nel linguaggio Yoruba. La credenza tradizionale Yoruba include il Dio Olorun , il quale è remoto e misterioso. Autorizzò il Dio minore Obatala a creare la terra ed ogni forma di vita. Una seguente battaglia fra le due entità divine, condusse poi al bando temporaneo do Obatala. Esistono centinaia di spiriti minori: quelli originari di Dahomey sono chiamati Rada ; quelli aggiunti posteriormente, sono spesso leaders deceduti nel nuovo mondo e sono chiamati Petro . Alcuni di questi sono: Agwe : spirito del mare Aida Wedo : spirito dell'arcobaleno Ayza : protettore Baka : spirito malefico che prende la forma di un animale Baron Samedi : guardiano delle tombe Dambala (o Damballah-wedo): spirito serpente Erinle : spirito delle foreste Ezili (o Erzulie): spirito femmina dell'amore Mawu Lisa : spirito della creazione Ogou Balanjo

Esoterismo Storia del Vodun o Voodoo Voodoo, Vodun e Yoruba Il Vodun (Vodoun, Voudou, Vodouu o Sevi Lwa) è comunemente chiamato Voodoo dal pubblico. Il nome Vodun è riconducibile ad una parola africana che significa "spirito". Il Vodun può essere direttamente ricondotto al popolo est africano Yoruba che visse a Dahomey nel diciottesimo e diciannovesimo secolo. Le sue radici risalgono a 6000 anni indietro nella storia africana. Questa nazione occupava parte dell'attuale Togo , Benin e Nigeria. Cliccate sulla carta per ingrandirla Gli schiavi portarono con loro la propria religione Vodun , quando furono deportati a Bahia (in Brasile), ad Haiti ed in altre isole delle Indie. Il Vodun fu attivamente represso durante i tempi coloniali. Molti predicatori vennero uccisi o imprigionati ed i loro santuari distrutti, poichè rappresentavano una grave minaccia al dominio Euro - Cristiano/Mussulmano. Questo forzò alcuni nativi di Dahomey a creare società segrete ed "ordini Vodun" per poter continuare la venerazione dei loro antenati ed il culto dei loro potenti Dei. Il Vodun fu poi ancora perseguito attivamente durante il regime Marxista. Tuttavia, fu liberamente praticato nel Benin sino al 1989 quando venne instaurato il primo governo democratico. Nel 1996 il Vodun fu formalmente riconosciuto come religione ufficiale.
