Most Haitians practice both Vodou and Roman Catholicism, seeing no contradiction in pursuing the two different systems simultaneously. Smaller Vodouist communities exist elsewhere, especially among the Haitian diaspora in the United States. Both in Haiti and abroad Vodou has spread beyond its Afro-Haitian origins and is practiced by individuals of various ethnicities. Vodou has faced much criticism through its history, having repeatedly been described as one of the world's most misunderstood religions. Brother Voodoo possesses numerous mystical and quasi-physical powers derived from the Loa, the spirit-gods of voodoo. He can easily enter into a trance-like state in which he does not feel the heat from fire and his skin becomes impervious to burning. He can also control flame and lower life forms. Brother Voodoo can mystically create smoke accompanied by the sound of drums. The smoke conceals his presence while he is able to see through it. He has the ability to command certain living things by a mystic sort of hypnotism, most effective over animals and plants. He can summon the Loa to request transport for himself and others instantaneously if they deem it necessary to his mission.Link ▶️ "Ask not for whom the spell tolls." is a reference to John Donne's poem "Meditation XVII". [3] The creation of sacred works is important in Vodou. [205] Votive objects used in Haiti are typically made from industrial materials, including iron, plastic, sequins, china, tinsel, and plaster.

Once the lwa possesses an individual, the congregation greet it with a burst of song and dance. [357] The chwal will typically bow before the officiating priest or priestess and prostrate before the poto mitan. [372] The chwal is often escorted into an adjacent room where they are dressed in clothing associated with the possessing lwa. Alternatively, the clothes are brought out and they are dressed in the peristil itself. [361] These costumes and props help the chwal take on the appearance of the lwa; [351] many ounfò have a large wooden phallus used by those possessed by Gede lwa, for instance. [373] Once the chwal has been dressed, congregants kiss the floor before them. [361] Jericho Drumm as Brother Voodoo / Doctor Voodoo, with the ghost of his evil twin brother Daniel. Art by Art Adams.

[271] A priest becomes the papa ("father") while the priestess becomes the manman ("mother") to the initiate; [272] the initiate becomes their initiator's pitit (spiritual child). [211] Those who share an initiator refer to themselves as "brother" and "sister."

The main ceremonial room in the ounfò is the peristil, [247] understood as a microcosmic representation of the cosmos. [248] In the peristil, brightly painted posts hold up the roof; [249] the central post is the poto mitan, [250] which is used as a pivot during ritual dances and the pillar through which the lwa enter the room during ceremonies. [249] It is around this central post that offerings, including both vèvè patterns and animal sacrifices, are made. [201] However, in the Haitian diaspora many Vodouists perform their rites in basements, where no poto mitan are available. [251] The peristil typically has an earthen floor, allowing libations to the lwa to drain directly into the soil; [252] where this is not possible, libations are poured into an enamel basin. [253] Some peristil include seating around the walls. [254] The burst damage is based on the difference between the hero's current health and its health as Maledict is applied. Jhākri shamanism is practiced among numerous ethnic groups of Nepal and Northeast India, including the Limbu, Rai, Sunwar, Sherpa, Kami, Tamang, Gurung, Magars, Lepcha and Khas. [5] Belief in spirits is prevalent, hence also the fear of spirit possession. [6] Some vernacular words for jhākri are phedangbo in the Limbu language, maangpa or nakchyong in Khambu, and boongthing in Lepcha. a b c d e Gaabucayan, Samuel (1971).
