VODOUN:The World's Oldest Religion

[@michelleleary7802]

Thank you for MAMI WATA VOL 1 and Vol2. It has changed my life.

[@seekingjustthefacts]

Thank you for this! I am glad that these traditions are experiencing a comeback in America.

I agree that Vodoun in west Africa is quite old and predates the religions of Ibrihim, recent finds in Archaeological sites have found objects, emblems, and symbols that are very much like modern day Congolese objects, emblems, and symbols. The Mpomba Nsila (cosmogram) and the objects with it are dated to at least 20000 years old.

The Black Woman is God!!!

Vodoun IS an ancient religion. Wicca is a New Age faux tradition. There is no comparison on ANY level my friend. Do your research.

[@JaeJae2012]

I have heard! I was so shocked when I found out so many Europeans were reviving their ancient practices. I am so happy for you! :-)

Vodoun is African indigenous spirituality, which was replaced by foreign religions.That is the reason for the troubles Africa has in my humble opinion. My experience of Vodoun as a Witch is that I see that many aspects are shared between nature spirituality-real witchcraft- not the christianized version of witchcraft, the Craft of the Wise - and Vodoun. "In the beginning, God was a woman - the Cosmic Mother" - Credo Mutwa Africa is the home of magic and spirituality and is the birthplace of the human race. So we all share the same common origins and the same universal Mother Goddess. Hail Mami Wata! Hail Au-set! Hail Yemaya! Blessed Be

+Billy Green Don't limit your power by labeling yourself ("witch"), Names and labels give limits.... And try not to confuse the Orishias or Eggun with Voudon, use their help but ask for more during your libations!

Thank you for your well-meaning words. I do call myself witch , as it really means a seeker after Truth. So, if ignorant folks wish to see what a witch is, they are most welcome to visit me here on You Tube and see what I do . There's been such hate against devotees of Mother Nature, and entire counter-Religions created which are designed to confuse people into thinking that witches and the Goddess are evil, so much propaganda and lies - and as a devotee I love to give out anti-venom for all that fear-based garbage. Actually if truth be known, I'm just sitting here at the feet of the Goddess forever and a day and sharing and learning from others like yourself who know. Blessed Be

I wanna learn more about Vodoun/Voodoo...anywhere I can find information...RELIABLE information from our people?

[@seekingjustthefacts]

The Vodoun religion of West Africa has no Christianity mixture in it. It pre-dates Christianity as all other ancienr religions do. I don't think the statement that it is the oldest religion is trying to "prove" anything. It just is what it is.

I'm glad this message is getting out, we're supposed to be living in a time of religious tolerance yet Traditional African Religions have been demonised and not given the same respect or research as other faiths. I am currently making a documentary on this, you can view the trailer by typing in Ancestral Voices: Esoteric African Knowledge

It is time for us to honor our ancestors by returning to their ways. It is disrespectful and stupid to forsake the ways of your ancestors and follow those of others. It is further the ultimate stupidity to pray to the same god as your oppressors. We have been doing it for 500 years and the only result is continued oppression so whose prayers are being answered? Our ancestors ruled the world because they were true to themselves. Ever since we turned our backs on our ancestors, we are the slaves of others. Someone once told me that black people are like an Apple computer operating with a Microsoft operating system. So we are not operating with our own minds and that is why we are at the bottom wherever we are, even in Afrika. We need to wake up fast!

@seekingjusttthefacts The fascinating point for me when we consider the genetic diversity African peoples is that the population of the rest of the world (outside africa) can now be traced back to a small group of perhaps a few hundred (probably a clan displaced by conflict) that managed to cross (possibly) to arabia by sea. All none african people can trace their ancestry back to this group via genetics. This appears to be the only successful migration out of africa by homo sapiens (prehistory)

[@luke2581]

so, vodoun is now using the same partyline that wicca stopped using about, oh, ten-fifteen years ago.......

[@rasheed951]

Vodoun only leave voodoo alone.
