Uppercrust Creoles pursued voodoo in much the same way that the trendy of today latch on to the latest New Age development. It was a hot topic of conversation in the posh parlors of well-heeled Creoles, but Orleanians paid much more than mere lip service to the practice of voodoo. Superstitious Creoles scrubbed their front stoops with brick dust to ward off curses and called regularly upon witch doctors and voodoo queens. The strange and exotic voodoo ceremonies drew throngs of thrill-seekers.

Date: 10 Jan 96 20:55:13 EST From: Greg Chamberlain Benin-Voodoo Associated Press. 10 January, 1996 COTONOU, Benin (AP) -- With pounding drums and pulsating rhythms, Benin on Wednesday celebrated the rebirth of voodoo as an officially recognized religion. About 60 percent of this West African nation's people follow voodoo, which originated in the region, but the Marxist regime that came to power in 1972 discouraged its practice. President Nicephoro Soglo's government said Tuesday that, in an effort to "correct an injustice," it was formally recognizing voodoo as a Read More Go to Site Brian Angliss, Voodoo as a Magic System Votes:0 Documents menu Date: Wed, 21 Jun 95 21:00:24 -700 From: Ralph <rafreid@primenet.com> To: bcorbett@crl.com Subject: I found this strange document.... Voodoo as a Magic System By Brian Angliss (angliss@PHYSCI.PSU.EDU) 21 June 1995 This is my Voodoo conversion from Chill into ShadowRun. It now also contains some of the ideas from the Voodoo system published in White Wolf magazine, like the loa. Voodoo is a magical type that is both more powerful than Shamanic/Hemetic magic and more powerful than both. Voodoo practitioners are either Houngans/Mambos or Bokor. A houngan is a voodoo priest, generally using their powers for good (a mambo is a female houngan). Bokor are more dark and evil than their counterparts. The worst of the bokor are the veau bokor, the leaders of the black sects dev Read More Go to Site Expedia.com Votes:0 Click here to enter Cliquez ici pour entrer Click here to enter Make this selection my default Expedia site, and in the future please skip this page.

Many people seem to confuse the Voodoun of Haiti with that of Santeria from Cuba.

She died more than half a century before the invention of plastic, so you have to wonder how she'd take that. She was a witch -- more accurately: a shaman -- and she was practical if she was anything, so might enjoy perhaps both the ghostly vibe of a plastic white rose and its utility. One hopes so, for she was a dangerous lady to offend. Even her tomb feels vaguely dangerous. It's one of a maze of tombs in St. Louis Cemetery #1, the oldest graveyard in the city, and there are always voodoo charms among her flowers and chalked X's on the cracked masonry, for the purpose of speeding the supplicants' prayers to wherever Marie Laveau's spirit abides -- proof Read More Go to Site Religion in Haiti - Voodoo Votes:0 You are here: About > Religion & Spirituality > Agnosticism / Atheism Agnosticism / Atheism Religion & Spirituality Atheism Essentials Atheism 101: Common Questions Answered Common Myths About Atheism & Atheists Why Not Believe?

Some conservative estimates these civilizations and religions to be over 10 000 years old. This then identify Voodoo as probably the best example of African syncretism in the Americas. Although its essential wisdom originated in different parts of Africa long before the Europeans started the slave trade, the structure of Voodoo, as we know it today, was born in Haiti during the European colonization of Hispaniola. Ironically, it was the enforced immigration of enslaved African from different ethnic groups that provided the circumstances for the development of Voodo Read More Go to Site VtM - City: Alternate New Orleans, 2nd Edition Votes:0 Alternate New Orleans 2nd Edition by Paul Strack and Stacey Lawless (2 May 95) Table of content History Colonial Era American Rule up to the Civil War The Revolution and Reconstruction The Jazz Age The Slayings Huey Long and the "New Prince" The Anarch War Recent Events Timeline The Kindred Secrets The Brujah The Caitiff The Gangrel The Malkavians The Nosferatu The Toreador The Tremere The Ventrue The Setites The Sabbat History The Ahrimanes The Ghouls Coteries Other Supernatural Creatures The Garou The Bastet The Mokol The Ratkin Mages Wraiths Mortals Glossary and Stories Local Speech Some Place Names and their Pronunciation Kindred Speech, Common Parlance Vulgar argot Story Seeds Authors Notes Chapter One: History New Orleans has one of the most colorful histories of any city in the Unit Read More Go to Site Web search Votes:0 Click here to proceed.
