By Priestess Shoshana | Spiritual Teachers Voodoo
To be a Vodou Priestess is not a profession.
It is a vow. A way of being. A devotion that echoes across lifetimes.
I did not choose this path—it was chosen for me. It began in dreams, in disasters, in mysterious callings I could not ignore. And over time, I was trained not only by elders and spirits but by fire—by loss, by sacrifice, by love.
At Spiritual Teachers Voodoo, we say: “We are not new. We are returning.” This path is ancient, and we walk it with purpose. Here is what it means to truly carry this mantle.
In Vodou, healing is not just about removing what’s wrong—it’s about restoring what was forgotten. We heal the relationship between the living and the dead. We restore the soul’s place within its sacred lineage. We clear what blocks the spirit from rising. We bring people home to themselves.
This happens through ritual, prayer, ancestral connection, and the wisdom of the Mysteries. Through song, through the laying of hands, through sacred food, through silence and time and sweat.
We do not heal for fame or fortune. We heal because Spirit asks it of us. We heal because we were healed first.
To serve as a Priestess is not a weekend training or a self-declared role. It is built over years—through loss, through love, through learning. You are initiated by the spirits, not just by people.
My life has been sculpted by over 20 years of devotion to Vodou Spiritism, to the sacred feminine, and to ancient traditions passed on in whispers and in fire. This path requires discipline: early mornings tending altars, late nights listening to spirits, long ceremonies, deep silence.
It is a path of showing up. Of surrendering ego. Of choosing service, again and again.
We are not here to be adored—we are here to respond. A Vodou priestess is often the first call in a crisis. We hold the weight when others cannot. We offer spiritual mentorship, we conduct Misas, we create space for ancestors to speak, and we light candles on behalf of those too weary to pray.
At Spiritual Teachers Voodoo, we don’t just offer knowledge—we build lineage. We gather our community monthly under the moon for protection, cleansing, and guidance. Our Inner Circle membership is not about perks—it’s about connection to a living, breathing current of ancient wisdom.
The priestess is not a performer. She is the keeper of the flame. The one who stands when others fall.
My spiritual practice is political.
Not because I seek power, but because being a Caribbean-initiated woman walking an ancient spiritual path is a revolutionary act.
Colonialism demonized our spirits. Racism turned our sacred ways into stereotypes. Misogyny has tried to erase women from their own spiritual authority. But we still stand.
I teach to preserve our spiritual inheritance. I lead because I know our mothers once led temples under moonlight before the colonizers came. Every ritual I perform is a quiet rebellion against a world that tried to erase us.
Being a Vodou priestess is a living protest against cultural amnesia.
The world’s image of Vodou is distorted, romanticized, and often weaponized. We are not entertainers. We are not witches for hire.
We cleanse homes. We interpret dreams. We help the grieving bury their dead. We call upon ancestral spirits to guide the lost. We pray, teach, cook, sing, listen, protect. We bless unions, birth children, and perform rituals that nourish the spirit and protect the lineage.
We prepare altars, consult the spirits, and train others in the old ways.
And yes, sometimes we cast spells—but only when Spirit says so, and never without cost.
What we do is sacred. It is earned. And it is real.
The media painted us with blood and bones. They turned our sacred rites into horror scenes. They turned our offerings into props and our spirits into caricatures.
Why? Because Vodou teaches power that doesn’t require permission. Because it cannot be controlled by institutions. Because a Black woman channeling divine energy does not fit the script of western theology.
We are feared because we are free. Because we remember. Because we know that healing, prophecy, and divine protection are not just biblical concepts—they are lived experiences in our communities.
And because we do not apologize for speaking with the dead or dancing for the gods.
Let’s not pretend this is easy.
As priestesses, we face legal limitations, religious persecution, and digital censorship. We are told not to use the word “Vodou” in our online stores. We’re banned from describing what we actually do. We are accused of “witchcraft,” denied religious recognition, and harassed for claiming the power that is ours by birth and initiation.
Still, we serve. Still, we stand.
Because Spirit will never be legislated.
And because people find their miracles here—when all other doors are closed.
At Spiritual Teachers Voodoo, we offer more than teachings. We offer access. To the ancestors. To the spirits. To the path that was hidden, but never lost.
Being a Vodou Priestess means holding the doorway open for others to find their way back—to their spirits, their power, their destiny.
This is not a trend. This is not a costume. This is not a story for someone else to tell.
This is our life. Our blood. Our legacy.
If you are seeking real guidance, initiation, and connection, we welcome you home.
