RE: Haitian Vodou - Baron Samedi & Maman Brigitte - The Lord and The Lady of Death and Sexuality
Must say I never underestimated some higher powers. Black magic and Vodou are interesting for sure. This post is great because I didn't know there is much more than just chicken legs and puppets. Would like to visit Haiti once and look at it from there. maybe some museum
Vodou being a black magic, dolls and chicken legs are mostly product of horror movies and frightened french slavers after Haitian revolution. The Vodou puppets were actually brought to Haiti and New Orleans by Irish and Scottish women, it was tradition there at the time to hang the doll of the loved ones next to the fireplace in order to always be in their thoughts.
