* Vodou / Vodun: created in the 17th century in West Africa (Benin, Nigeria Togo, Ghana).
In Fon language (southern Benin population) it means "what can not be elucidated, the effective power".
* Bokono: the priest / geomancer master
There are also priestesses (Hounsi)
Skulls: The skulls of Bokono give powers to the one who possesses them. A skull with tied jaw is more powerful because the last breath of the bokono remained in the skull.
* Vodous deities (orishas), quite similar to Greek mythology. Ex: the messenger Legba - with dog's head
* Amulets (Tila) are kept close to you and are made by a Bokono for one person. The Tila will be more effective for example with pearls of a necklace that we cherish. |
