It is not like the popular belief a zombie-related sect, in fact the vodou dalls have much more influence from the Wicca, than from the vodou itself. Is a conformed religion which is based in rituals which have a lot of simbolism in them, using items like fruits and pictures(even though there are chiken sacrifices, it is badly seen in the religion itself, its more like a fanatism in that point wich according to the vodou can result in disaster to the practician), but its basicly the servilism and adoration of the [[Loa]] the most important part. |
