Ritual Essence of Vodún: Enlightening Empowerment © 2013-2025

From the intro: “Vodún is a lifestyle, a mindset coloring daily life, and a way of thinking about the universe. The essence of Vodún is located in ideas of serenity and developing ones sɛ (soul essence) or, as one Vodúnvi puts it: “It means to have an open heart.” Vodún gives those that follow its way of life (called Vodùnví́) a particular sensitivity to interpret everyday life, and to face its problems day after day, with supplementary help. On the contrary from a Western and a-spiritual point of view, Vodún is overly associated with negative magic.”
