But in reality the art of voodoo is to communicate with the spirits trough the process of possession isn't that what most religions try so unsuccessfully to achieve? Unsuccessfully? The truth is quite a few religions practice voodoo they just called it differently, when you go to most Pentecostal churches and the spirit possesses someone and they start speaking in tongues (which also happens in many others churches) that is voodoo! It is said in the beginning of the Old Testament that Enoch walked with god, by means of possession the Haitian voodoo adept allows the African spirit inside his body and in that state can perform miracles and many other feats. He is walking with the gods! But this is nothing new as we see in the bible: Acts 2:4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them. Acts 2:3-5 (in Context) Acts 2. The true voodoo adept knows there are spirits and many spirits are worship as god, corrupted by the arrival of foreign religions that forced them into conversion many voodoo practitioners now think there is an all one supreme god creator (they call the great master, grand met) but not all believe the same. The real voodoo man doesn't not worship the gods he walks side by side with them! Voodoo is one the most ancient form of religion known to men! Over the centuries the word voodoo in itself inherited a bad rap because with the power of voodoo the Haitian slaves in 1804 gained their independence. Of course there are bad hougan (voodoo priest) who misuse the knowledge and also there are quite a few charlatans pretending to be priest, but the truth is there is good and bad in everything on earth depending on how you use it! On the turn of the 17 century Louis the 14th issued a decree that all slaves under dominion of the French were to be converted to catholic the Spanish the English and the Portuguese did the same, but before slavery the blacks had their own religion just like the Jews the Muslims and the Indian and although virtually eradicated by 300 years of slavery truly Voodoo, Santeria, Macumbe are truly the among the oldest and original religion of all people! for more information go to:
