Did You Know? The Hidden Science of Spiritual Evolution in Vodou, Shamanism, and Hermetics

The Sacred Spark Within Did you know that you have the power to spiritually evolve, no matter where you come from, who you were born to, or what your past looks like? This is not just a romantic idea or a hopeful belief. It is a universal truth encoded into the deepest spiritual systems of the world. Across time and culture, mystics, medicine people, priests, and philosophers have all echoed one powerful message: you are meant to grow into your light.

This blog post explores how three sacred traditions—VodouShamanism, and Hermetics—each hold keys to your spiritual evolution. When understood together, they offer a complete map: a mystical and practical guide to awakening your power, healing your wounds, and returning to your sacred path.

Part I: Vodou – The Evolution of the Soul Through Spirit

1. What Is Vodou Really About? 

Vodou is not superstition, fear, or theatrics. True Vodou is a sophisticated system of spiritual science. It teaches that each person is born with a divine essence—a soul flame—and a spiritual blueprint. You are not random. You are sent here with a purpose, and you are never alone.

In Vodou, this inner light is cultivated through relationships with the Lwa—spiritual intelligences who govern different aspects of nature, personality, and destiny. These spirits do not control you; they walk with you, mentor you, and challenge you. Through ritual, devotion, and spiritual service, you refine your character and strengthen your spiritual clarity.

2. The Role of Ceremony in Evolution 

Each ritual in Vodou—from a simple candle lighting to a full possession ceremony—is a technology designed to align your physical, emotional, and spiritual energies. These are not performances; they are energetic recalibrations.

Vodou teaches that spiritual growth is relational. It’s not about isolation or enlightenment on a mountaintop—it’s about being in right relationship with your guides, your ancestors, your environment, and your own inner self.

3. The Vodou Path of Mastery 

Vodou doesn’t promise overnight change. It is a path of initiation, discipline, and mystery. A spiritual worker is not simply someone with “gifts”—they are someone who has trained, purified, and surrendered themselves to the will of spirit. Evolution is earned.

The higher you rise in Vodou, the more you are called to serve. Mastery is not about power over others—it’s about power over self, devotion to the community, and alignment with cosmic law.

Part II: Shamanism – Healing Through Nature and Spirit

1. What Is Shamanism? 

Shamanism is the world’s oldest spiritual practice. Found in nearly every indigenous culture, it teaches that reality is multi-layered and alive. Everything—plants, animals, rivers, stars—has spirit. Illness, trauma, and stagnation occur when we become disconnected from the spiritual world, from the earth, and from our own soul.

2. The Shamanic Vision of Healing 

Where Western medicine sees disease, Shamanism sees disconnection. The Shaman restores balance through ritual, plant medicine, drumming, chanting, and visioning. They journey to other realms to recover lost parts of the soul, extract intrusions, and retrieve healing power.

Spiritual evolution in Shamanism is about remembering who you really are. It’s not about becoming something new—it’s about re-integrating the pieces of your soul and embodying your wholeness.

3. The Medicine of the Earth 

In Shamanic practice, nature is not a backdrop—it is your teacher. Each element offers guidance. Fire transforms. Water heals. Earth grounds. Air clarifies. The more you align with natural cycles, the more you enter into harmony with yourself and the world.

The Shaman’s power grows not from hierarchy or title, but from how deeply they listen—to the earth, to the spirits, to the soul of another.

Part III: Hermeticism – The Laws of the Universe and Self-Mastery

1. What Is Hermeticism? 

Hermeticism is a school of thought rooted in ancient Egyptian and Greek philosophy. It is the mystical science behind alchemy, astrology, and theurgy. The Hermetic path is not about dogma—it is about mastery through understanding the laws that govern the inner and outer worlds.

2. The Seven Hermetic Principles 

Among Hermeticism’s most important teachings are the Seven Hermetic Principles, found in the classic text The Kybalion:

  • The Principle of Mentalism: All is mind.
  • The Principle of Correspondence: As above, so below.
  • The Principle of Vibration: Nothing rests, everything moves.
  • The Principle of Polarity: Everything has its opposite.
  • The Principle of Rhythm: All things rise and fall.
  • The Principle of Cause and Effect: Nothing happens by chance.
  • The Principle of Gender: Everything has masculine and feminine principles.

Spiritual evolution, according to Hermeticism, means learning how to apply these laws to your inner life. You become a conscious co-creator—not a victim of fate.

3. Mental and Energetic Alchemy 

Hermeticism teaches that you can transmute fear into wisdom, pain into power, confusion into clarity. This is the work of the inner alchemist: turning base emotions into spiritual gold.

You do this through meditation, contemplation, right thought, and the disciplined use of your will. Hermeticism does not promise ease—it promises transformation through understanding.

Part IV: When the Systems Come Together

1. A Living Map of Transformation 

When Vodou, Shamanism, and Hermetics are studied together, they offer a complete spiritual blueprint:

  • From Vodou: Ritual, spiritual discipline, community, and service
  • From Shamanism: Healing, earth connection, and soul retrieval
  • From Hermetics: Mental training, universal laws, and inner mastery

You learn to balance the invisible with the visible. You honor your spirit guides while also taking personal responsibility. You heal your wounds and also develop your mind. This is the complete path of spiritual evolution.

2. Why This Is So Needed Today 

Modern society often strips spirituality of its depth. Popular culture turns sacred paths into aesthetic trends or empty affirmations. But the real work of healing and transformation is rigorous, magical, and deeply rewarding.

We are not here to bypass reality. We are here to change it—from the inside out.

3. You Don’t Need to Be Born Into It 

You do not need to be born a priest, a shaman, or a mystic. You need to choose the path, commit to it, and learn from teachers who carry real knowledge. Spiritual evolution is available to everyone—but not everyone chooses it.

This is what we offer through Spiritual Teachers Voodoo and Temple de la Luna. A living education. A path of mystery and results.

Coming Soon: The Mysteries and the Lwa Page 

We are excited to announce the upcoming release of our new “Mysteries and the Lwa” page on the Spiritual Teachers Voodoo website. This page will be unlike anything currently available online.

It will include:

  • Guided insights into the spiritual beings known as the Lwa, and how they communicate
  • Explorations of the Mysteries, sacred forces that transcend deity and archetype
  • A deeper look at the structure and veneration of spiritual guides in traditional shamanic Vodou
  • Writings from Priestess Shoshana about her personal journey with these forces
  • Practical guidance for understanding the difference between illusion and true connection

This resource is being created with reverence and integrity. It will be educational, respectful of the vows of secrecy, and focused on what true seekers need to understand before building relationships with these powers. Stay tuned.
