BENIN : the birthplace of zemidjans and vodoo | SLICE

Porto-Novo, the bustling capital of Benin.
This is where lives Aténi, a motorcycle taxi driver. Every day, he travels around the city trying to make ends meet. But whenever possible, he comes back to his traditional village in the suburbs of Porto-Novo. Bakc there, he plays a very active role in the spiritual life of his village. Today, he let us attend a voodoo ceremony under the aegis of Reviosso, god of storms and lightning.

Vooodooo! Runnin' from my magic!! I see the same schtick come over certain evangelicals in the southern US.

[@MsgtMelton]

You have seen that first hand have you? Some members of black churches do take being filled with the holy spirit to an extreme level but never to the extreme in the video. I am a life long Southern Baptist and I have never witness anyone acting like they are possessed, and yes I said acting, which is what that guy was doing.

@@MsgtMelton Hey! I grew up Southern Baptist myself. I've seen several people stiffen up and faint. I've seen speaking in tongues with an in-store interpreter sliding up to do his thing. It's all in the head, at best, but mostly as fake as the fellas in the video. Oh, lord! Be HEALED!! lol Do you Lay Hands on your children to cure them of cancer? Would you?

The roadside gas /patrol station is just like in Cambodia 😊 except it's stored in coke bottle ☺️ I was confused at first, but the tuktuk driver explains it, you stop, buy a bottle to fill it up, that's it. Gas has been over $6/ gallan in CA now, I should buy an E-bike!
