Podcasts about vodun

Le Bénin a pour ambition de développer une importante offre muséale. Plusieurs sites sont actuellement en construction comme le Musée de l'épopée des Amazones et des rois du Danhomè à Abomey ou celui de la mémoire et de l'esclavage à Ouidah. Autre lieu très attendu à Porto-Novo cette fois : le Musée International du Vodun. Cet écrin qui entend notamment déconstruire les stéréotypes négatifs propagés sur la culture vodun, doit sortir de terre d'ici à la fin de l'année. Notre reporter, Pierre Firtion, a pu récemment visiter le chantier en compagnie d'Alain Godonou, chargé de mission aux Patrimoines et aux Musées auprès du président Talon. De notre envoyé spécial à Porto-NovoÀ l'entrée de Porto-Novo, juste après le pont, d'étranges bâtiments en forme d'alvéole se dressent au milieu des grues. Petit à petit, les contours du musée international du Vodun commencent à se dessiner. Ce lieu avec ses formes originales a été imaginé par le cabinet d'architecte ivoirien Koffi & Diabaté. « Ça rappelle beaucoup de choses, ça rappelle cet indice de calebasses, un élément important en culture Vodun de façon large. On met aussi en avant l'architecture Batammariba, que l'on appelle vulgairement "tata somba" », explique Alain Godonou, le chargé de mission aux Patrimoines et aux Musées du président béninois. Ce dernier fait référence à ces habitats traditionnels du nord-ouest du Bénin. Ces bâtiments et au-delà, ce lieu unique abriteront notamment plusieurs salles d'expositions où seront présentés non seulement des pièces de la collection nationale béninoise, mais également des objets venus d'ailleurs.« Ici et là, nous sommes en discussion avec des partenaires. Parfois, les discussions sont conclues pour avoir des objets significatifs de la culture Vodun, notamment de la culture Vodun venant hors du continent », raconte-t-il. Des pièces venant notamment du Brésil, de Cuba, des États-Unis seront ainsi exposées ici avec pour objectif de montrer le Vodun dans toutes ses composantes. Pour Alain Godonou, « l'objectif étant d'arriver à dépouiller le Vodun des idées négatives qui lui sont prêtées. Et que le public découvre que le Vodun est tout à fait respectable ». En ce mois de mai, le chantier bat son plein. Ce jour-là, des ouvriers posent de grandes plaques de terre ocre sur l'un des bâtiments, d'autres travaillent sur les fondations de la future déambulation entre les différentes espaces.« Il y a une circulation qui va se faire. Ce sera protégé, on construira une canopée. Là, les ouvriers sont en train de faire les soubassements des éléments de la canopée, pour que la promenade à l'intérieur du musée soit protégée », décrit Alain Godonou.Outre la construction de cette canopée, il reste encore beaucoup à faire pour emménager les 16 000 m² du site. Le calendrier pourra-t-il être tenu ? Alain Godonou se veut confiant, puisque, comme il dit, « les gros travaux sont finis. Les travaux de finition ont commencé. La muséologie, la muséographie avancent très bien. On n'est jamais à l'abri d'une surprise, mais je crois fermement que d'ici à la fin de l'année 2025, il pourra ouvrir ». Le musée doit être inauguré en même temps que la statue du roi Toffa 1er, qui trône sur la place située devant l'entrée du musée. Une statue, qui est elle déjà terminée. 

Le Bénin développe son secteur touristique. À l'horizon 2030, le pays veut franchir la barre des deux millions de visiteurs étrangers et doubler ses revenus liés au tourisme. Pour cela, de nouveaux sites sont modernisés et agrandis comme celui de Ouidah, à une quarantaine de kilomètres de Cotonou, haut-lieu du tourisme religieux, culturel et historique. C'est le site de la célèbre Porte du Non-Retour, dédiée à la mémoire de l'esclavage.  C'est un chantier spectaculaire sur le littoral du Golfe de Guinée : la Marina de Ouidah, projet d'hôtel de 130 chambres, construit par le groupe chinois Yunnan Construction and Investment Holding. Sur le site, autour de la Porte du Non-Retour, seront également proposés des loisirs, des services, un bateau-musée, un parcours sur les lieux où embarquaient les esclaves africains du XVᵉ au XVIIIᵉ siècle.« Ce qui se passe actuellement au Bénin, c'est énorme », explique Modeste, guide touristique qui travaille au Bénin, au Togo et au Ghana. « Les voies bitumées, la place Vodun ici à Ouidah, tout le monde en profite : ceux qui bâtissent les routes et nous, les guides touristiques et les agences de voyages. » Selon les chiffres officiels, 435 000 visiteurs ont été accueillis en janvier 2025 lors des Vodun Days, événement annuel qui célèbre l'art, la culture et la spiritualité de cette religion traditionnelle.Budget doublé pour OuidahLes professionnels bénéficient de l'ambitieuse politique touristique engagée depuis 2016 au niveau national, mais aussi les collectivités locales, comme la municipalité de Ouidah. Le maire, Christian Houétchénou, affirme que depuis son élection en 2020, les ressources propres de la ville ont fortement augmenté :« Le budget de la commune était de deux milliards de francs CFA (environ trois millions d'euros). Nous sommes passés à plus de quatre milliards de francs CFA, le double. La plupart de ces ressources sont reversées dans le programme de développement de la ville. Il y a une partie qui va pour soutenir les infrastructures culturelles. Nous mettons aussi l'accent sur la sécurité. »Trouver des logementsAinsi, Ouidah va mettre en place une police touristique pour épauler les forces de l'ordre classiques. Le maire veut multiplier par dix le nombre de lits d'hébergement, soutenir les hôteliers et les restaurateurs. Clemencia de Souza, gérante de La Cabane, le restaurant du nouveau centre culturel de la ville, explique que « la qualité des aliments, la propreté, étaient des priorités évidentes. Il fallait rénover les bâtiments, former les employés, les sensibiliser pour que les visiteurs ne trouvent rien à redire. »Clemencia de Souza évoque néanmoins un problème : « Les gens n'aiment pas quitter Cotonou. Donc, pour avoir cette main d'œuvre, il faut les aider et notamment leur trouver un logement. Mais je sais que l'année prochaine, avec l'aide de la municipalité, nous allons améliorer cette organisation. »L'année 2026 est d'ailleurs la date espérée pour l'ouverture du Musée international de l'Histoire de l'esclavage, dans le fort portugais de Ouidah où doivent transiter des biens culturels rendus par la France.À lire aussiLe renouveau de l'hôtellerie haut de gamme en Afrique de l'Ouest

durée : 00:13:49 - Les "Vodun Days" au Bénin - par : Péroline Barbet-Adda - A Ouidah au Bénin se tenait les 9, 10 et 11 janvier 2024, la fête de vaudou, les "vodun days". Cette fête annuelle, célébrée dans tout le Bénin, prend à Ouidah depuis quelques années une dimension toute particulière.

In this week's Across Africa: Vodun believers in Benin marry traditional faith with contemporary creativity to spread their heritage. Also, the African manatee has come under pressure over the decades from poaching and shrinking habitats, but one Cameroonian biologist has been working to improve the chances of the shy freshwater mammal. Plus, Senegal is moving ahead with plans to put more of its own identity into key streets and has begun changing the name of landmarks named after French colonial figures. 

This week on Black Hoodie Alchemy, we're getting deep into the history, practice and application of Voodoo! Firstly, what's the difference between Voodoo, Vodou, Vodun, and Hoodoo aside from the spelling? We'll explain that and all the other African Diasporic Religions associated (like Santeria and Palo Mayombe) all the way up to traditions in good ol' New Orleans, Louisiana! We also take the time to discuss in some detail the historical events and characters surrounding Voodoo, like the successful Haitian Revolution against Napoleonic France, and prominent New Orleans characters like Queen Marie Laveau and Dr. John Bayou. As well, we analyze practices associated with Voodoo like the zombie, the doll, spirit possession and animal sacrifice, and their ceremonial drums' crucial influence on modern music today as we know it! And while it might sound a bit spooky to the un-studied eye, it's actually much more wholesome and cathartic and horror cinema would lead you to believe... most of the time! Voodoo in history and modern day is a complex, de-centralized, and heavily misunderstood web of spiritual traditions that has their roots in what can only be described as the West African Mystery Rites. It's an absolutely fascinating spiritual tradition that deserves a bit more respect in the west, and we here at Black Hoodie Alchemy hold a deep reverence for it. We sincerely hope we did it justice in our conversation and we hope you dig your listening!

This program tells the story of generations of creative musicians from Benin who translate traditional, largely Vodun occult music into popular and experimental music. We hear traditional music styles including tchinkoumé, agbadja, and kakagbo, and explore how, starting in the 1970s, Sagbohan Danialou (a singer, drummer, guitarist and composer known as "l'homme orchestre," the one-man-band) and Tohon Stanislas transformed these styles into popular music. We hear from Samuel "Jomion" Gnonlonfoun, one of the founders of the experimental super-group Gangbé Brass Band, who took the traditional approach further into jazz in the 1990s and 2000s, including new music from Jomion & The Uklos, Gnonlonfoun's current band. Plus an interview from superstar Angelique Kidjo, and music from her latest album "Eve." Produced by Morgan Greenstreet in 2014 APWW #680

This week on Black & Published, Nikesha speaks with Juliana Lamy, author of the short story collection, You Were Watching From the Sand. A Haitian writer, Juliana says her collection is preoccupied with what it means to be Haitian and the honesty of that lived experience. In our conversation, Juliana, who is a graduate of Harvard and the Iowa Writers Workshop, explains how she creates rhythm and lyricism that translates into English as well as Haitian Kreyol. Plus, the reason she says she isn't ready to commit to a literary agent despite having published a book. And, how she's correcting the record about the cultural and spiritual importance of Vodun. Support the Show.Follow the Show: IG: @blkandpublished Twitter: @BLKandPublished Follow Me:IG: @nikesha_elise Twitter: @Nikesha_Elise Website: www.newwrites.com

Bénin, dans le berceau du vaudouLa fête du vaudou, c'est chaque année au Bénin au mois de janvier. Cette année, les autorités ont organisé les « Vodun days » : deux jours de festivités dans la ville de Ouidah (à une quarantaine de kms à l'ouest de Cotonou). Objectif : attirer les touristes et déconstruire ces clichés négatifs qui collent au vaudou. Alors pour mieux comprendre de quoi il s'agit, nous vous  emmenons à la découverte de cette religion séculaire et des traditions qui l'accompagnent, parties intégrantes de l'identité béninoise.Un Grand reportage de Magali Lagrange qui s'entretient avec Patrick Adam. La cohabitation réussie des ours dans les AsturiesC'est l'histoire d' une renaissance, il y a 30 ans, l'animal était en danger critique d'extinction. Aujourd'hui au nord-est de l'Espagne, dans la cordillère Cantabrique, vivent environ 370 ours. La cohabitation de ces animaux sauvages et des êtres humains se développe donc depuis quelques années, faisant des Asturies un modèle à suivre, car ici à la différence de la France, l'ours n'est presque plus considéré comme une menace, mais plutôt comme une chance.Un Grand reportage de Diane Cambon qui s'entretient avec Patrick Adam.

Ouidah, la ville historique à l'ouest de Cotonou, va abriter les 9 et 10 janvier 2023 les Voduns Days. A l'occasion de la fête du Vodoun célébrée chaque 10 janvier au Bénin.

In this bedtime story, I tell you about New Orleans, Voodoo and the famous "Voodoo Queen," Marie Laveau, who dominated Louisiana Voodoo in the 19th Century. We take a look at how different syncretic religions formed in South and North America, combining African religions like Vodun or Yoruba with Roman Catholicism and indigenous beliefs, or the particular blend that happened in Louisiana with the influence of Haitian Voodoo. We also explore the history of New Orleans since its foundation and what its unique culture brought to the world, including Jazz music.

Marie Laveau was known as the Voodoo Queen. Aspects to her practice include, Mamba, Witch, Root Worker, Vodun, Hoodoo, and conjure work. She was a master herbalist and helped heal her community through many epidemics of yellow fever. In her spare time, she visited inmates in prison to make sure they had food and clothes. She also taught many classes to teach women of other ethnicities and color how to read and write. She was born in New Orleans in 1801 and grew in popularity through her hair salon where she catered to the wealthy families of New Orleans. She developed a reputation for being loving and affectionate all the while laying the groundwork for women practicing the healing arts. Marie is an inspiration for all witches who have followed in her footsteps.

Muchas personas lo creen así, pero el metal no solo se trata de Satanismo, de hecho es una parte menor de sus temáticas. El caso opuesto también se presenta; las religiones, en la mayoría de sus corrientes, también se expresan en el metal a través de  bandas abiertamente practicantes. En el episodio CXIX de #AloBestiaPodcast presentamos algunas bandas de metal que promueven mensajes religiosos a través de su música, bien sean religiones ancestrales y místicas o más recientes y ortodoxas.Grabado el 26 de septiembre de 2022.Escuchen la lista de reproducción (playlist) de este episodio en:- Youtube: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzEUmf3C1pXH4kliUnZN67TI6yVyDQwix- Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3qJFajjF7vcVZI1Nn4Pqxc?si=9cf7dfd930c74e64- Deezer: https://www.deezer.com/es/playlist/10779704722Bandas recomendadas en este episodio:Barren Cross - King of Kings [Atomic Arena, 1988]Becoming the Archetype - End of the Age [Dichotomy, 2008]Vodun - Bloodstones [Possession, 2016]Antestor - Unchained [The Omen, 2012]Darkwater - Alive (Pt.

Emily Crews is a Ph.D. candidate in History of Religions at the University of Chicago Divinity School. Her dissertation project traces the relationship between movement and identity formation in the context of Nigerian immigration to the United States, exploring the ways in which Pentecostalism conditions, and is conditioned by, the attempts of people to make themselves feel “at home” in a foreign culture. Her teaching interests are broad, but focus mostly on such areas as migration, gender, sexuality, and the body, as well as religions in the African diaspora. Learn more about your ad choices.

When newcomers begin to embrace African spirituality, they often desire to start with African deities from the door. They usually overlook important spirits like their ancestors and Ori at the beginning of their journey. Like other energies discussed in previous episodes, the Orishas, Lwas, Vodun, etc., are vital components of your spiritual team. However, one should always approach these energies with caution and respect. These highly-regarded spirits are very powerful in many respects. As such, it is important to understand which energies you should connect with and how, when, and why to connect with them. I discuss each of these elements in this episode. So join me as I explore the concept of connecting with African deities. Check Out Our Products and Services!!!

Many new practitioners of ATR hear about and focus on the Orishas, Lwas, Vodun, and other spirits when they first embrace an African spiritual practice. However, few understand the significance of the Higher Self when they first begin such a journey. Africans have always regarded the Higher Self as a vital deity or energy in their lives. In fact, it is considered the most important deity in many systems. Each of us has divine power that resides within us and is responsible for helping us achieve our destinies. In western society, this energy may be referred to as our subconscious or intuition. Though, this energy is not regarded as a deity or spirit in the west in the same way as it is in ATR practices. However, it is a vital part of our spiritual team nevertheless. In this episode, I explore the role that the Higher Self plays in our lives, how to feed or appease this energy, and how it functions in our spiritual journey. Check Out Our Products and Services!!!

Louisiana is a mysterious place. Over time, French Catholicism and Southern Baptist Protestantism merged with West African and Haitian religions like Vodun and Hoodoo to create a region filled with spirits, myths, superstitions, and strange beings in the swamp. One of these beings is the perfect amalgamation of French, Indigenous, and African mythology. It stalks the swamps and sugar cane fields around New Orleans. It has the body of a man, and the head of a wolf. It has an insatiable desire to feed on human flesh, especially the flesh of a child. And it might just be real. This is the story of the Rougarou.

Apology: Late in the episode Kristen says "regular religion" which she 100% apologizes for and acknowledges as an ignorant thing to say.

He just wants to eat his breakfast in peace! But the mealworms didn't get the message.  Jack McAlpin, an agitated Marine Corps private, drives his car into a tree after several hallucinatory episodes and is apparently killed. On the tree is a veve, a drawn voodoo religious symbol.   Wikipedia: A veve is a religious symbol commonly used in different branches of Vodun throughout the African diaspora, such as Haitian Vodou. Veves should not be confused with the patipembas used in Palo, nor the pontos riscados used in Umbanda and Quimbanda since these are separate African religions.  McAlpin is the second purported suicide among troops stationed at an INS compound processing refugees from Haiti. Fox Mulder and Dana Scully visit the compound to investigate McAlpin's death. 

Greetings Family, this is episode is the introduction of the Yoruba word Ashe. ASHE In the sacred creation narratives of the Yoruba nation, in the spiritual tradition of Ifa, Ashe (Axe, Ase) refers to the heavenly and godly force, also called Olodumare, used to bring about the universe. In renderings of traditional Yoruba cos- mology, the first spiritual power that existed was the energy of Ashe. Ashe, using thought, deter- mined to take material form, thus becoming the Creator, Olodumare. As God, Ashe then exists at the center of all that is and all that will be in the world. Olodumare thus willed itself into being from its own divine essence (the self-existent being). Olodumare uses its Ashe, which lies at the core of its being, to create all things. Olodumare infused this original force into the whole of creation, including its own manifesta- tion of equal male and female source energy (Olodumare, male; Olorun, female). Varying interpretations of the concept confirm that Ashe is a primary example of an organizing force that accounts for the origins and nature of humans and the universe. Ashe is believed to embody “divine power, authority, order, vital force.” Ashe has been defined as a combination of “grace and power.” Ashe is “God itself. Everything that is shared in that divine essence and is, as a result, sacred.” Ashe is a fluid concept, in that it bridges the space between the seen and unseen worlds. It exists in all things, yet it can be an active or passive force. Ashe is always present and cannot be destroyed. It is understood that a priest or priestess could summon the presence of the orisha to increase his or her Ashe. The concept is also related to the idea of “soul” in the acquisi- tion of the dynamic uses of power involving the material world. In this African spiritual category, Ashe exercises control over objects. One sees it as the indwelling vital energy. The Yoruba concept of Ashe spread outside of the African continent through the enslavement of African people during the 18th and 19th cen- turies. European colonial restrictions on African culture and religion were unable to suppress the migration of intellectual and spiritual ideas. Ashe may have been the most important phenomenon to survive the Middle Passage. Within the legacy of the transplantation of African culture in the Americas and around the world, Yoruba religion continues to thrive and develop through the forms of Santeria, Vodun, and Condomble.

This episode we talk about vodun from researching, and what we found through research. If you have questions please feel free to email us at spiritualsistars@gmail.com

Vodun cosmology centers around the vodun spirits and other elements of divine essence that govern the Earth, a hierarchy that range in power from major deities governing the forces of nature and human society to the spirits of individual streams, trees, and rocks, as well as dozens of ethnic vodun, defenders of a certain clan, tribe, or nation. My source of information: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_African_Vodun --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/dimetries/message

C'est une cérémonie à forte valeur symbolique qui s'est tenue hier mercredi à Paris : la France a acté la restitution au Bénin de 26 œuvres des trésors royaux d'Abomey conservées jusqu'ici au musée du Quai Branly. « Parmi les 26 œuvres d'art, précise Le Monde Afrique, figurent des statues totems de l'ancien royaume d'Abomey ainsi que le trône du roi Béhanzin, pillés lors de la mise à sac du palais d'Abomey par les troupes coloniales, en 1892. Elles sont exposées jusqu'à dimanche au musée du Quai Branly. 'Le retour de ces objets est un acte important de l'histoire des collections', a estimé hier son directeur, Emmanuel Kasarhérou. 'Il est important que le patrimoine de chaque pays soit suffisamment représenté dans chaque pays', a-t-il ajouté, évoquant sa 'grande joie' de remettre ces pièces 'à des mains expertes'. » Prêt ! En effet, tout est prêt sur place pour accueillir ces œuvres. « Depuis 2016, relève L'Evénement  précis, le gouvernement du Bénin a fait des investissements d'un montant de plus d'un milliard d'euros pour la rénovation et la construction d'infrastructures muséales, culturelles et touristiques répondant aux normes et standards internationaux, en particulier, le Fort portugais de Ouidah complètement réhabilité pour accueillir en exposition temporaire les 26 objets d'art restitués dès leur retour au Bénin. Et puis en chantier : le musée international de la mémoire et de l'esclavage, le musée de l'Epopée des amazones et des rois du Dahomey, le musée Vodun à Porto-Novo et le musée des Arts contemporains. Ainsi, le Bénin a pu renforcer les capacités de ses professionnels du patrimoine culturel afin de garantir la bonne conservation des biens restitués et au-delà de l'ensemble du patrimoine culturel béninois qui fait actuellement l'objet d'un inventaire intégral. » Un processus irréversible Alors, « lentement mais sûrement, commente Le Pays au Burkina, le processus de restitution d'œuvres d'art par la France aux pays africains, semble désormais irréversible, au regard de l'arrivée imminente des trésors royaux d'Abomey au Bénin. (…) On sait que la Côte d'Ivoire va aussi bientôt recevoir une œuvre de grande importance, le tambour parleur du peuple Ebrié, autrefois appelé peuple tchaman. Bien avant cela, c'est le Sénégal qui avait reçu, en novembre 2019, le sabre d'El Hadj Oumar Tall. » Bref, poursuit Le Pays, « la volonté affichée d'Emmanuel Macron de restituer les objets d'arts aux pays africains, est une excellente chose. Elle l'est d'autant plus que ces œuvres d'art constituent un pan important de l'Histoire africaine. Au-delà, ces objets permettront à la nouvelle génération africaine de mieux connaître les symboles forts de la lutte anticoloniale. » La reconnaissance de l'histoire africaine Aujourd'hui  renchérit : « en restituant ces 26 œuvres d'art, la France répare un tort fait à l'Afrique, continent qui n'avait 'pas d'histoire', selon la doctrine de l'époque, la France tente de récolter des morceaux d'un riche patrimoine qu'elle a contribué à dilapider. Et Emmanuel Macron fait bien de dire que cette 'restitution emblématique ouvre de nouveaux horizons de partage'. Que ce soit au Bénin ou au Sénégal, ces remises constituent une sorte de retour des 'petits hommes' au pays natal. Des œuvres d'art qui charrient émotion et mystères dans la cosmogonie africaine. » Diarry Sow : disparue avec adresse… Enfin, à lire dans Le Monde Afrique, le portrait de Diarry Sow… Souvenez-vous, c'était en janvier dernier, cette jeune et brillante étudiante sénégalaise avait disparu. Elle ne s'était pas présentée à la rentrée au lycée Louis Le Grand à Paris. « Une disparition soudaine qui avait alarmé ses compatriotes et la diaspora sénégalaise », rappelle Le Monde Afrique. Aujourd'hui, la jeune femme de 21 ans « revient sur son histoire, mais en empruntant un étonnant chemin. Si elle a accepté de rencontrer un journaliste, c'est parce qu'elle publie, le 4 novembre, un roman au titre a priori sans équivoque : Je pars. Le bandeau publicitaire en couverture du livre est lui aussi sans ambiguïté : 'Disparaître, certains en rêvent. Elle l'a fait'. » Alors, pourquoi cette disparition qui aura duré 17 jours ? Diarry Sow se garde bien de le dire, même dans son livre qui est un roman. Diarry Sow qui revendique le droit de ne plus devoir rendre de comptes. « Elle se voit plus tard travailler dans le nucléaire, la génétique ou l'intelligence artificielle, pointe Le Monde Afrique. Et que fera-t-elle après ses études ? Rester en France ? Retourner au Sénégal ? 'Evidemment, je reviendrai', lâche-t-elle, elliptique. L'année prochaine sortira un autre roman. 'Je ne suis pas complètement une femme libre et accomplie, conclut-elle. Je suis inachevée'. »

Dans cette deuxième partie, nous poursuivons notre voyage historique, anthropologique et spirituel dans l'univers fascinant du vodou haïtien, en nous plongeant au cœur de ses aspects métaphysiques. Qu'est-ce que la philosophie vodou ? Comment les notions de divin, de bien, de mal, d'âme, d'individu, sont-elles conceptualisées dans le paradigme vodou ? Au passage, nous nous intéresserons à la notion de genre dans la culture vodou, laquelle démontre une vision notablement inclusive vis-à-vis des genres et des sexualités alternatives. Au détour d'un poétique passage conté, je vous ferai aussi découvrir une recette de prêtresse haïtienne pour soigner les « limbés », les chagrins d'amour… Pour finir, nous effectuerons un voyage accéléré dans l'histoire coloniale et postcoloniale haïtienne, pour comprendre comment et pourquoi le vaudou (et plus largement, Haïti toute entière) en est venu à être stigmatisé et diabolisé dans l'imaginaire collectif global.

This week Deena Barnwell joins me to discuss Black Spiritualism, Black Magic & African Religions that were lost during Western colonization.  Throughout the world there seems to be a growing connection to African ancestors & an interest in reclaiming African spirituality, rituals & practices that were demonized by white, western culture.  Whether it's Hoodoo, Vodun, Haitian Vodou, New Orleans Voodoo, Ifa or Santeria the connection to historical, cultural roots has not died...it seems to be getting stronger.GREAT LINKS WITH GREAT INFO:https://afropunk.com/2018/10/black-magic-unlocking-our-ancestral-power/https://www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/we-re-reclaiming-these-traditions-black-women-embrace-spiritual-realm-n1245488https://www.vice.com/en/article/qkg93m/black-magic-talking-with-hoodoo-witcheshttps://www.baltimoresun.com/maryland/bs-md-african-faiths-20190315-story.htmlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoodoo_(spirituality)https://matadornetwork.com/read/mapped-africa-scramble-africa/THIS VIDEO IS AMAZING BUT CHECK THE DESCRIPTION FOR A LOT OF GOOD LINKS:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4amMTitO714AN ARTICLE ABOUT THE INFAMOUS BEYONCÉ GRAMMY PERFORMANCE:https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2017/02/13/these-goddesses-will-help-you-understand-beyonces-grammy-performance/%3foutputType=ampTHE FULL PERFORMANCE:https://youtu.be/ZhdTAwkDu1QLISTEN TO:Teenage HeadAll Pigs Must DieRed FangEnumclawTina TurnerSPOTIFY PLAYLIST:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4eV6wgolRGLxDqNMGn6WBs?si=02ce04324e6c4f14INTRO & OUTRO MUSIC BY LEE DANIEL DINGESNEW WORD OF THE NITE:fa·​rouche | fə-ˈrüsh  Definition of farouche1: WILDCONTACT FOR SOURCE LIST OR JUST TO CHAT:EMAIL: lostrhetoricpodcast@gmail.comINSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/lostrhetoricpodcast/?hl=enTWITTER: https://twitter.com/lost_rhetoric?lang=en

Travel to West Africa and an insight into the home of Vodun (Voodoo) culture. Join your host Stephen Bailey on a fascinating journey incorporating three very different Vodun experiences. There's a local market, a ceremony to provide protection for a dying friend, and then a spirit returns after seven years in the wilderness to meet his fellow spirits. Stephen recalls a trip to this welcoming nation and his own impressions of Vodun.

Continuiamo, insieme a Maya, che nella vita studia le culture africane in vista di una futura laurea in Antropologia e Storia delle Religioni, il dialogo sul Vodou iniziato nel primo podcast della nuova stagione. Questa volta, parleremo di differenze, perché il Vodun come si esprime in Africa, sua terra natia, è diverso dal modo in cui si è trasporto ad Haiti, che a sua volta è diverso da come viene vissuto nella Louisiana. Diverse espressioni, di cui esploriamo insieme radici e motivi, parlando di tratta degli schiavi, di necessità di recupero e conservazione delle proprie origini, e anche di rivolta per riappropriarsi di spazio personale e libertà d'espressione. E infine, parleremo anche di mentalità coloniale, responsabile non solo di atrocità quali la deportazione degli schiavi, ma anche grande impedimento a uno studio concreto e realistico delle Religioni Tradizionali Africane e del Vodou. +++ I NOSTRI CONTATTI Nexus Arcanum Facebook Instagram Sito web Email: info@nexusarcanum.it Bones Chronicles Instagram Sito web Vuoi sostenere il nostro progetto offrendoci un caffé?

[Originally produced and aired in 2019] Vodun, Voodoo, racialization into Black Magic as currently understood is a distorted figment of a Western imagination. Voodoo is narrated as a sensationalized ‘pop-culture' caricature of voudon, which is an Afro-Caribbean spiritual system that was brought with enslaved Africans forced onto the plantations in Haiti, Jamaica, the Dominican Republic, Brazil, the United States and elsewhere. The fictitious associations with drinking blood sacrifices, voodoo dolls or zombies are directly a result of the same dehumanization processes innate in a system of chattel slavery, the lifeblood of racial capitalism. To be clear at the onset, Voudon is "an assortment of cultural elements: personal creeds and practices, including an elaborate system of folk medical practices; a system of ethics transmitted across generations [including] proverbs, stories, songs, and folklore... voudon is more than belief; it is a way of life," wrote Leslie Desmangles, a Haitian professor at Hartford's Trinity College in "The Encyclopedia of the Paranormal" (Prometheus Books, 1996). Voudon teaches belief in a supreme being called Bondye, an unknowable and uninvolved creator god. Voudon practitioners recognize many ancestral spirits (called loa), each one of whom is responsible for a specific domain or part of life. Followers of voudon see a universal energy and a soul that can leave the body during dreams and spirit possession. In Western Christian theology, spiritual possession is usually considered to be an act of evil, either Satan or some demonic entity trying to enter an unwilling human vessel, unless of course you go to black worship services. This is in contrast to the fact that in voudon, possession by loa is desired. In a ceremony guided by a priest or priestess, this possession is considered a valuable, first-hand spiritual experience and connection with the spirit world. In 1685, variations of a practice to forbid the practice of African religions and required all masters to Christianize their slaves within eight days of their arrival—which codified into various laws. Slavery was condoned by the Catholic Church as a tool for converting Africans to morally upright Christians. Furthermore, one Haitian scholar notes, "Many of the African spirits were adapted to their new environment in the New World. Ogun, for instance, the Nigerian spirit of iron-smiths, hunting and warfare took on a new persona... He became Ogou, the military leader who has led phalanxes into battle against oppression. In Haiti today, Ogou inspires many political revolutions that oust undesirable oppressive regimes." The practices of dehumanization and hiding Africans histories (it is a misunderstanding to say African histories are lost)…has contributed much to the survival of racist logics that promotes false notions and ideas of racial white supremacy. These practices were applied to Africana total existence. Nevertheless, the spiritual practices of the various peoples who were forced across the oceans have ancient origins. In fact, we can see ancient links between the Yoruba peoples and ancient Egypt…. Today, we are pleased to have filmmaker Onuora Anthony Abuah back with us to talk about another one his films, a two-part documentary that explores the Danhomé Kingdom. Part 1 is titled, Danhomé & Vodun and Part 2 is titled, Voodoo in Togo. As a filmmaker and under the banner of AEA Films UK, his projects include MONA, Catching a Thief, Woodfalls, Woolwhich Boys. Our show was produced today in solidarity with the Native/Indigenous, African, and Afro Descendant communities at Standing Rock; Venezuela; Cooperation Jackson in Jackson, Mississippi; Brazil; the Avalon Village in Detroit; Colombia; Kenya; Palestine; South Africa; and Ghana and other places who are fighting for the protection of our land for the benefit of all peoples!

The girls bring a close to Black History Month by celebrating some famous Black women and men. They talk about how black don't crack and count down a list of life changing inventions that wouldn't be here without Black women. Squidney and Smelsea learn about West African voodoo... (or Vodun) and discuss the stigma around it. As always, they end things with a message from the angels in a new segment called Mixed Girl Magic. Halle Berry, hallelujah!and of course, thank Gladys.#MixedVibes

While it's also known by the names of Vodou and Vodun, Voodoo is religion that is rich in history, ritual, and common misconceptions. In this episode, we discuss two of the main three branches of Voodoo that are practiced around the world today, specifically Louisiana and Haitian Voodoo. We learned a ton researching for this episode and we hope you do too

We needed a matriarch to help guide us at the beginning of our African-Ancestored journey to our traditional African religions. Queen Auset, military veteran, mother, mentor, tarot slinger, spiritual guide, & matriarch; helps us bridge the divide between where we are, where we've been, how we got here, and where we should be going. With a deep understanding from both a spiritual and familial tie to Africa, Queen Auset steers us towards embracing the love of all religions because they teach love. She also gives us a more in depth look at Santeria, Vodun, Voodoo, African Traditional Religion, and more. Asett & Rash feel the holy spirit, both break down crying during the podcast. Solutions, pathways, and advice for all of us to get in touch with our ancestors, ourselves, and our deeper spirituality.Queen Auset's Youtube Page - Oya's Girlhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzlnPrqlsfnjen7rS6dmqbQ

Le vodou est un langage qui, comme l'explique le sociologue jamaïcain Stuart Hall, a longtemps permis aux esclavagisés de la Caraïbe « d'exprimer leur sentiment d'être un peuple africain en exil », et leur a fourni l'un des plus puissants ferments de résilience et de résistance face à leur condition servile. Dans cet épisode, c'est à un fascinant voyage conté dans le vodou haïtien et dahoméen que je vous invite, toujours en musique et en poésie. A travers une approche à la fois historique, anthropologique et spirituelle, nous dépasserons les clichés stigmatisants hérités de la propagande coloniale pour nous plonger dans la complexité de cette tradition spirituelle qui, avec près de 50 millions de pratiquants dans le monde, peut légitimement être considérée comme la spiritualité afrodiasporique par excellence.

Welcome back! We've gotten several questions from listeners and friends alike that prompted us to take a step back. Today, we're going "back to the basics". We address what it means to be Pagan and how it relates to Witchcraft and Wicca as well as Hoodoo and Vodun (and all the other practices that aren't Christian, Jewish or Muslim.) We also give an overview of the Wheel of the Year for those of you who currently practice, or are considering starting a more traditional Neo-Pagan practice. Chapters: 00:00 - Intro 01:00 - Tea Talk 02:46 - Spiritual Awakening? - O'Dell got a good spanking from a spirit guide and he tells us all about it. 03:16 - Why the basics? Andrea talks a bit about why we decided to do this episode. 05:29 - What is Paganism? We talk about what Paganism is (no, it's not devil worship), and how we are all Pagans - and it's awesome! 07:42 - Andrea talks about Animism (and O'Dell illustrates what it's not (unfortunately). 09:22 - What is witchcraft? You mean not all witches practice Wicca? And not all people who do magic call themselves a witch or practice witchcraft? Say what? 21:16 - So, what about Hoodoo and Vodun? Where do they fall? 29:02 - So what is the difference between modern and traditional witchcraft? We'll tell you! 34:56 - What next? We'll give you some tips on how to practice. We also realize that we can't possibly know everything about all the other Pagan practices out there, but we'd sure love to hear about them. Reach out to us. Teach us. 37:51 - We talk about the major Sabats (Pagan holidays) also known as the Wheel of the Year. 49:17 - Tarot time! Which card did we draw today? 53:11 - Closing out the show. Until next time!

Black people are the only race of people on the planet that worship a god that does NOT look like them. That is psychological suicide...and yet most of us continue. We are Yoruba. We are Kemites. We are Vodun. We should be practicing the spiritual systems of our ancestors not joining in with others who have plagiarized us because that gives our power to them!!!!!

Meet Leah Penniman. She is a Black Kreyol educator, farmer/peyizan, author, and food justice activist from Soul Fire Farm in Grafton, NY. She co-founded Soul Fire Farm in 2010 with the mission to end racism in the food system and reclaim the ancestral connection to land for People of Color (POC). As co-Executive Director, Leah is part of a team that facilitates powerful food sovereignty programs - including farmer training for Black & Brown people, a subsidized farm food distribution program for communities living under food apartheid, and domestic and international organizing toward equity in the food system. Leah has been farming since 1996, holds an MA in Science Education and a BA in Environmental Science and International Development from Clark University, and is a Manye (Queen Mother) in Vodun. The work of Leah and Soul Fire Farm has been recognized by a growing list of national organizations. Her book, Farming While Black: Soul Fire Farm's Practical Guide to Liberation on the Land is a love song for the land and her people. In this episode, we cover insightful and significant topics related to farm, including farming tech and positive contributions of Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC). Leah also recollected on being a nature-connected, bullied youth and how her experiences laid the foundation for her work in farming many years later. We also talked about food justice, including what it is and what we can do as individuals to support farms that are certified food justice by the agricultural Justice Project. Finally, we talked in-depth about solving racism in the food system, which is connected to everything.    Admittedly, I sometimes fear talking about racism in such a public way because I’m conscious of my own incompetence and white privilege. I want to acknowledge some of my gaps in this conversation and how Leah demonstrated what a graceful teacher she truly is. I'm trying to lean in, learn more, and do better on the regular. If you're listening, I hope you are, too. Enjoy this episode. Subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts. Share it with one human you know.

Episode 71 (Part 2 of 2): This episode is a continuation from Episode 70 featuring Ghanaian-Japanese brothers, Sena and Pele Voncujovi. In this episode, Sena (a Vodu priest) and Pele (a Vodu practitioner) give us insights into the West African spiritual and herbal practice of Vodu (also spelled Voodoo or Vodun).  The influence of Christianity and Islam in the African continent has long been apparent. Subsequently, Vodu has been demonized globally. Many Ghanaians and other West Africans have denounced it as "satanic" and there are fewer and fewer priests and practitioners today. Through their social media platform "ReVodution", Sena and Pele's mission is to destigmatize Vodu and restore a lost pride among Africans. [Episode length: 36 minutes] [Raw Urban Mobile Podcast rebranded to Tokyo Speaks Podcast on Mar 7, 2020]   [Guests' Social Links]  ReVodution    [Social Links & RSS] RSS Feed: https://www.tokyospeaks.com/feed.xml Instagram: @tokyospeaks_ Twitter: @tokyospeaks_   [Support via Ko-fi] https://ko-fi.com/tokyospeaks

Writing in his 2006 work titled, Yoruba Culture: A Philosophical Account, Dr. Kola Abimbola argues that Yoruba sociopolitical religious practices—( Òrìṣa tradition and culture) were expanded and intensified throughout the Americas due to the Transatlantic human trade which saw the enslaved millions of Africans. He writes: “Today, the Òrìṣa tradition and culture is practices by about 100 million people in Argentina, Australia, Benin Republic, Brazil, Cuba, France, Germany, Ghana, Haiti, Italy, Jamaica, Japan, Mexico, Nigeria, Sierra Leon, Spain, Togo, Trinidad and Tobago, the UK, the US, Venezuela, and other places. In all of these places, Yorùbá religious practices play a significant role in, music, dance, the arts, and many facets of day-to-day living.” (24) Kola Abimbola goes on to suggest that while there is a significant amount of good material available on various aspects of Yorùbá and Òrìṣa culture in different parts of the world, no one has yet fully explained its philosophical underpinnings. What philosophical affinities do Candomblé and Batuque (Ba—Tooque) in Brazil, Santeria in Cuba, Vodun in Benin Republic, Vodou in Haiti, and Òrìṣa worship in Nigeria all share in common? (24) To date, many scholars have been content with explaining the details of the rituals, the arts, the music, and even the languages that all these different manifestations of Yorùbá culture share. But no good account of what unifies these traditions, that is, their philosophy, exists. Simply put, the philosophical and theological ideas that unify all these traditions under the rubric Yorùbá have not been adequately explained. (24) For Dr. Abimbola, the widespread inadequacy of the treatment of Yorùbá culture can be traced to three separate but interdependent erroneous assumptions implicit in the writing of some scholars. He captures these inadequacies, conceptually as: tribal fetishism, methodological straitjacketing; and hierarchical dogmatism. (24) Toady. We will hear a recent conversation I had Dr. Kola Abimbola on Ifa's Anceint Future…meditations on the deep tradition of African thought and its relationship to the physical and non-physical world… Dr. Kọ́lá Abímbọ́lá studied the Ifá Literary Corpus as an apprentice under Wándé Abímbọ́lá and Babalọ́lá Adébóyè Ifátóògùn. He received his PhD studies in Philosophy of Science under John Worrall at the London School of Economics and Political Science, and a second PhD in the Law of Evidence and Criminal Justice under C. John Miller at the University of Birmingham. He has taught at Seattle University, Haverford College, Temple University, and at the University of Leicester (Lester) School of Law. He is currently an Associate Professor of Philosophy at Howard University in Washington DC. Kọ́lá is the Editor of Journal of Journal of Forensic Research and Criminology. He was President of the International Society for African Philosophy and Studies from 2006 to 2010, and a British Council Commonwealth Academic Scholar from 1989 to 1992. Our show was produced today in solidarity with the Native/Indigenous and Afro Descendant communities at Standing Rock, Venezuela, Brazil, Colombia, Kenya, Palestine, South Africa, and Ghana and other places who are fighting for the protection of our land for the benefit of all peoples!

The African American Spiritual Churches are combinatory religious sites, which blend Protestant, Catholic, Spiritualist, Haitian Voodoo, and Benin's traditional Vodun practices. Female leadership and business management has been essential in the history of these churches. Dr. Guillory's upcoming book draws on years of archival research, ethnographic observation, and oral history interviews to tell the story of these churches from 1920 to the present day.

Hello and thank you once again for joining us down at the crossroads for some music, magick, and Paganism. Where witches gather for the sabbath, offerings are made, pacts are signed for musical fame and we cross paths with today’s most influential Pagans, occultists, and deep thinkers. I am your bewitching, bald headed, host Chris Orapello and tonight Tara and I meet with author, filmmaker, and voodoo priestess Lilith Dorsey to talk about her experiences as a professional reader and witch as well as to discuss her new book, Love Magic: Over 250 Spells and Potions for Getting It, Keeping It, and Making It Last. Along with her book we also discuss her Patheos blog: Voodoo Universe, as well as the challenges she has faced through her involvement with Voodoo and Pagan communities and some of the misconceptions about Voodoo which she still deals with to this day.   Based on years of magical experience and prodigious research, Love Magic includes sections on such topics as self-love, marriage, fertility, erotic adventures, the ethics of love magic, and more. The spells are drawn from a wide diversity of magical traditions and focus on an equally diverse situations. There are spells for finding love, keeping love, and healing yourself so that you are ready for love. The book also includes rituals for invoking goddesses of love. Dorsey considers and discusses all facets of the romantic experience. - blackbrigit.com   Featured Songs: "Odal" by Wardruna "Legba's Feast" by Vodun "Hourglass" by Bekah Kelso (The Green Album) “La Sirene” by S.J.

When we think about African Spirituality we enter into an arena that is foreign to us. We have been told that Africa and what it has to offer is evil. We have been told that we have no connection with Africa and its spiritual system. We now walk around with no sense of self and worshipping Gods that don't serve us. We have been giving a concept of spirituality from our oppressor and now we don't understand the basics of spirituality or reality… Zankhu Ziaweet will be taking us into the initiatic Mystery camps in Africa to expose to us our Ancestral Perspective of African mystery system...

Born with an unexplainable gift of healing hands at the age of 6 Madam Mozell began practicing Voodoo along the side of her Ancestors. She has been practicing Voodoo, Rootwork and Conjuring for 30 years now. Her strongest belief in the religion is natural herbal earth healing. Mozell's family has a tea for barren women to become fruitful and multiply. They also have teas for the cleaning of the female organs, to make men more pleasurable in the bedroom, to add the romance back in your sex lives. So tune in on this Saturday for more tips on how to live a healthy herbal life. Vodun (meaning spirit in the Fon and Ewe languages, pronounced  with a nasal high-tone  also spelled Vodon, Vodoun, Vodou, Voudou, Voodoo, etc.) is practiced by the Ewe people of eastern and southern Ghana, and southern and central Togo; and the Kabye people, Mina people, and Fon people of southern and central Togo, southern and central Benin.

In addition to Afropop Worldwide's new show, Benin: Transforming Traditions, we bring you this web exclusive podcast, Angelique Kidjo: The Roots Of Eve, featuring new music and an exclusive interview with the Queen herself. Afropop Worldwide has followed Angelique since she her career first began, and we're always excited to hear what she's up to. Her latest album, Eve, was released on January 28th 2014 by 429 records. It is dedicated to her mother and celebrates African women. Eve features women's choirs from Benin and Kenya, and many of the songs reference the traditional Vodun music featured in this week's program. Our senior producer Banning Eyre interviewed Angelique at her home in Brooklyn, New York. Listen to the podcast to hear Angelique speak about the inspiration for the album, and hear new music from Eve.

[APWW PGM #680] [Originally aired in 2014] This program tells the story of generations of creative musicians from Benin who translate traditional, largely Vodun occult music into popular and experimental music. We hear traditional music styles including tchinkoumé, agbadja, and kakagbo, and explore how, starting in the 1970s, Sagbohan Danialou (a singer, drummer, guitarist and composer known as "l'homme orchestre," the one-man-band) and Tohon Stanislas transformed these styles into popular music. We hear from Samuel "Jomion" Gnonlonfoun, one of the founders of the experimental super-group Gangbé Brass Band, who took the traditional approach further into jazz in the 1990s and 2000s, including new music from Jomion & The Uklos, Gnonlonfoun's current band. Finally, we bring the story to the present with an interview from superstar Angelique Kidjo, and brand new music from her latest album "Eve." Produced by Morgan Greenstreet.
