    This is excellent, the way he's breaking down the real voodoo vs. the fetish "fake charm" voodoo we've been told about and scared away from. These are the types of interviews where you have to look at multiple times to grasp the full understanding. Thank you for all your informative videos most of all thanks for this one in particular

      Did you hear him speak of the true spelling of vodun not voodoo they don't recognize that spelling he said it's Western ideology and gives their way of spelling it. I only say this because you spelled it as voodoo which is not wrong or right it's your choice, I just wanted to know if you heard him speak of this.

    I appreciate you and this work SOOOO much, my brotha. I’ve been feeling the call to visit Africa for a few years now, particularly for understanding the spirituality. Learning more and more of what was NOT taught in Eurocentric schools. Also, thank you for putting this whole Israelites belief to rest! WE ARE AFRICAN!!! We don’t these bibles and Qurans. We are born divine! Vodun will show our people that!

      @Romaine_La_Prophetesse Před 3 lety +6

      You can be African and be of Hebrew Israelites descent because African is just a continent while the latter is a specific group of people. The Hebrew Israelites preachers go over board sometimes but there are two many similarities with Old Testaments spirituality and Vodou to be ignored. To begin with the word Vodou just means Spirits and God is Spirit...There's so much more. There's also language similarities and stories contained in Vodou that mirrors the Bible. The problem with the Hebrew Israelites preachers is that they have also taken whole white supremacy that comes packaged with Christianity and they express very racist views against Vodou and practitioners.

    • @Suzuha_Amane

    Leviticus 19:31 Do not defile yourselves by turning to mediums or to those who consult the spirits of the dead. I am the LORD your God.
    Isaiah 8:19 Someone may say to you, “Let’s ask the mediums and those who consult the spirits of the dead. With their whisperings and mutterings, they will tell us what to do.” But shouldn’t people ask God for guidance? Should the living seek guidance from the dead
    Leviticus 19:31 “Do not turn to mediums or necromancers; do not seek them out, and so make yourselves unclean by them: I am the Lord your GOD." Do not cause the nation to suffer again by breaking the covenant Dynast!

    The question at 24:54 is everything. Brilliant question and it's very interesting to hear his perspective, because remember, he can only give you "his"perspective as to how this could happen. It had nothing to do with the power of voodoo, or the ineffectiveness of it. Colonialism had everything to do with the journey of men - deceit, treachery, greed, bullying, envy, and more. The religion applied through this atrocity speaks for itself over history, and up to this day. Voodoo works, black spirituality works. Humanity as a whole overcame many atrocities with their spirit mind (voodoo) etc. They continue to do so.

      We’re not talking about a person living in an apartment. We’re talking about allegedly millions of Jews coming to a country which would have left behind a significant amount of oral traditions and an impact on the entire countries culture. Griot’s are known for keeping oral traditions alive so I wouldn’t see the problem with asking someone about what the history of their own country says, especially if they are in tune with their countries oral traditions and cultures.
      How is this similar to a new resident moving into a house and being asked about the prior resident? That new resident can ask the landlord about the prior residents, the new resident can also ask the neighbors about the prior resident and gather more information that way. False equivalence.

    Correct me if im wrong. The elder and translator said the sole purpose of voodun is protection and because the European came and befriended the Afrikan it was to late to use the power of voodun aka protection. Our kindness was our downfall. Dr. Clark said this alot just as the elder said. So since we are sick in behavior and thought from the European influence we cannot free ourselves. All the elders are singing the same song and no one is listening nor dancing. I wish Search for Uhuru could have asked the elder about the origins of the European because alot of people say they are cast aways and came back for revenge.

    Not every African in Africa is a Hebrew. Many are descended of Ham. The tribe of Juda was and is in fact present in what was once known as the Dahomey territory now made up of Nigeria/Benin. The Igbo tribe has hundreds of thousands with this identity. There are historical records such as maps and books that show the tribe of Juda inhabiting the slave coast or present day Nigeria/Benin. Keep your voodoo, the true sons of the Most High have the Word.

      I can tell you we subscribe to no most high, for we look up to the creator Mawu, a dual force that wields both male and female components. We have our Priests and Priestesses who reach Mawu through our oracles. Some other names we have for the Creator are, Nyankopon, AtaaNaaNyonmor, AsaaseYaa, Osepuluwa etc.
      We have no connection with the Western God concept because we are older as a people than their concept.

    dont for get my people the gullah/geechee people who have hoodoo. The Difference that you were talking about when it comes to spelling has something to do with the Slave Trade. Originally/Traditionally it is called Vodoun. When were got displaced the named changed but it still is the same thing.In slavery it wasnt permitted to speak any other language or practice any other religion but christianity and over time the original African terms broke down and some were changed purposely to throw slave masters off, because it was a punishable offense. Vodoun and Voodoo of Louisiana Creole and Haiti have the same deities and is the ceremonial practice/ The religion but with western influences like incorporating saints for the African deities to mask it from slave masters because it was punishable. African names may be pronounced differently but similar to the original. There are even some native american shaman stuff mixed in as well. It is the same in Puerto Rico. the practice is called Santeria. We all came from pretty much the same place. in Santeria they use Yoruba-Catholic Deities and Palo Mayombe, Kongolese traditions. Hoodoo Of the Gullah/Geechee and the Bohamian who are pretty much us is not a religion or a denomination of a religion. It is the Folk Magik or root work, the other part of voodoo. The act of magic, charms, and talismans. for exmaple the European Bible would be a talisman. Grave dirt (goofer dirt)could be a charm. Plants and erbs would be used for medicine or worse. Tucked in a pouch called mojo bags. Hoodoo shows evident links to the practices and beliefs of Fon and Ewe spiritual folkways. In the Americas, the worship of the Vodoun loa is syncretized with Roman Catholic saints. The Vodou of Haiti, Voodoo of Louisiana, and Vudú of Puerto Rico, Cuba, and Dominican Republic are related more to Vodun than to Hoodoo. I believe it's because voodoo is the religion where as hoodoo is the magic. That is scholars say voodoo and hoodoo is different but they are racist. They say hoodoo have no deities but it's not true. Like legba of all people who practice vodoun weather it be Santeria in Puerto Rico nd other Spanish countries, or vodu in Haiti, or voodoo of Louisiana. The gullah also has him, it's just not in plain sight because of our secrecy and oppression in slavery like I said before. We the Gullah Geechee people simply say the black man at the crossroads. He is also legba. You see it demonized in pop culture all the time. Like the show "Supernatural" where people go to the crossroads to make a deal with a demon.

      Rootman Junior I'm from New Jersey my great great grandparents and their children left Georgia in the 1930's. I found out about being geechee from my grandma about 10 years ago. My great great grandparents didn't speak English. With each generation speaking less and less. My grandmother and her siblings are the last to speak it but it's only a few words here and there. Her mostly her older sisters did root work and use to make charms for protection for the men in the family who was in the streets. We pretty much fit in now sounding and acting like everyone else, but some of my family still get made fun of because they sound different. My step mom still to this day make fun of my mom side mimicking the way they talk calling us retarded. Though we don't speak Geechee anymore some of my family still have a accent that's not really Caribbean like u see on the internet. They call em slow and put em in speech classes. I asked my dad why do some of em sound like that because I didn't no anything about what a geechee was. He said even though my mom's family been her for generations geechee in our blood and it's where we come from. My great grandma use to make the baskets but I never new anything about sweet grass baskets and Africa. She taught my grandma, my mom, and I think my older sister can make em if she didn't forget. That was like the girl thing to do in my family. Now I'm currently trying to relearn the language of my family and it's history because not many of my family care these days which is why I believe my grandma told me. She knew I wasn't goin to give up on learning it. Everybody else pretty much caught up in living their own life. My family wasn't like that in the 80's.

We also believe in spirit and soul as separate. Once you die one goes to heaven back to the source and the other if it's good influence life of its family guiding then. If it is bad they become boo hags looking like people and at night shedding it's skin sucking the life from people. This is where we get the saying a witch is in your back..or a witch is riding your back, or just Boo hag riding.

    The problem Richard talked about concerning the false priests and con-men using Vodou to steal people's money happens a lot in Haiti, among other places. I think the problem is the lack of structure and regulation within the Vodou communities. People do whatever they want without any oversight. Vodou needs to have some regional government bodies in place to protect the integrity of the craft. Just like they do in Christianity, Judaism, and Islam.

    The funny thing is,…
    in Hebrew Judah is pronounced as Yehuda,
    in Arabic it’s pronounced Wahda,
    so quite similar to Whydah or Ouidah
    And the reason why some Europeans pronounced Ouidah as Judah is because it has a similar pronunciation and word structure to Judah in Hebrew, so they used the same etymological and phonological methods to translate it, so Ouidah doesn’t have to be pronounced with a J sound to be correct.
    And because you don’t know about how Europeans modify pronunciation and change Y’s to J’s, this just shows the ignorance of etymology, if you didn’t know that Judah in Hebrew is pronounced as even a Y or W is basic knowledge.
    Also I’m not saying that Ouidah definitively means Judah, for the simple fact just because a word sounds the same or similar to one in another language, doesn’t mean it has the same root-word, definition, etymology, or meaning, and could just be a false cognate instead of a true one.
    But completely ruling out the possibility of it somehow being connected, out of the equation is somewhat disingenuous.

      The Bible condones slavery, and tells slaves to be grateful for their masters and to serve them as if they were serving God. In the American South white slave masters used this as an reason for why keeping slaves was not immoral, and they suppressed the black man's religion (probably through cruel punishments) selling them on YHWH worship instead. And remember YHWH says to be a good slave and don't seek freedom. The whole thing makes me kind of nauseous and i'm white. Now look up the Haitian revolution that's a hell of a different story.

    Dynast, I think the mistake you are making is that you are getting caught up on the word Vodoun. Vodoun is just the word used in that part of Africa for their traditions. But in any African culture, they have their own traditions that they do not refer to as Vodou. But there is no such a religion called Vodun unless you are talking about the case of Haiti where they created such a religon called Vaudou, which is a syncretism of African traditions originated from Benin and mixed with some traiditions of Congo area people who were taken as captives to the Americas. They have mixed these traditions with Roman catholicism and created Vaudou. But the Vaudou thing itself is a version of Yorouba traditions mixed with some of the local traditions of the people in present day Benin. This is why in Nigeria , they won't use the term Vodun because it is not how they call their traditions although those who call their Vodun in Benin are really borrowing a lot of their traditions and divinities from the Yoruba culture.
