Vodou Spiritism

Voodoo is taking a new direction. With the world climate now interfacing with diversity in divinity and culture. Our history of this mesmerizing and secreted tradition is now evolving to include more culture. Women are working together to safehouse the old ways that otherwise may become corrupted by the recent turn towards masculine leadership.

Believe it or not, we have always been a women-centered ceremonial art. Focusing on family, financial stability, home, and higher education. People come to seek help from voodoo practitioners worldwide now for guidance and support in their well-being and success. We acknowledge the healing arts of the old Vodou ways as a necessary cornerstone to the balance of living a modern healthy life.

Our traditions have had a seismic influence on the communities it reaches. Through “spiritual counseling,” guidance from higher forces known as the Lwa and the Mystery. Voodoo has a way of helping women make positive life choices. The tradition has entered the world stage and is known and accepted as a wealth of knowledge kept safely preserved throughout time.

Many people are seeking new ways to overcome the systemic sexism this tradition faces today to include our modern rights. Women are less likely to have time for self-care and often are diverted away from education and financial stability. As our family units change we enter a new evolution of what it means to have a successful life. We, as Priestesses know we are the ones to gather together forces to preserve our old teachings and embrace the next generations of spiritists. As this beautiful tradition migrates out of the Caribbean clement that is filled with inequities. Women leaders are on the rise using the untouchable power kept secret in the Vodou ways. We are seeing more interest in our teachings and the need to balance traditional values with this modern evolution.

Today there is a birthing of a new path in voodoo known as Voodoo Spiritism which contains the old ways and includes people from around our beautiful globe. Voodoo spiritism is a term emerging built by women Mambos and Priestesses initiated in the traditions. Our focus is to build bridges rather than burn them down. We believe each person has a viable and real spiritual link to their lineage. That lineage has a power that when tapped, creates a greater sense of direction.

“To know where you are going,
you must look to see where you have been.“

Too often today we build our lives around the Western criteria for success, therefore staving the other integral and vital parts of living a healthy life. Spiritual practice starts with first defining what this karma is and how to best clear the path going forward. Ancestral karma maneuvers around your choices, your past, and your future, leaving unresolved problems. Caribbean voodoo has a powerful and effective cure for clearing ancestral karma. In Haitian Vodou this ceremony can take a week to perform. In the Dominica Republic, this ceremony can take a weekend to perform. Both have a connection in structure and practices, both are valuable, and both are done well by skilled practitioners. These practitioners have overcome their karmic ties to those who are “Under the Water”
