    Voodoo is a system of spirit worship brought to Haiti by slaves from Africa. In 1791, leaders of a slave revolt against France held a secret voodoo meeting in a mountain above Cap Haitian at which they dedicated their country to evil spirits. After their victory over Napoleon’s armies in 1804, they attributed their success to voodoo. As recently as 2004, then President Aristide, a former Roman Catholic priest, renewed this vow. People who practice voodoo believe that everything, good or bad, happens at the whim of spirits.…

With the influx of more Africans, voodoo became entrenched in the American colonies and later in the United States.” 29 Of course our keen interest is more fixed on the importing of slaves to Louisiana - and slaves in the St. Mary’s Parish area, which is the birthplace and home of our subject, William J. Seymour. Let’s review facts. Five hundred slaves were imported to Louisiana from Martinique, Guadeloupe and Saint Dominique…

    The Haitian belief in zombies stems from a religion called Voodoo. Voodoo is a type of sorcery revolving around spell casting, dolls, and other things considered to be evil. Haitians consider zombies to be dead slaves who are now soulless because they attempted to die and returned to the plantations to work for eternity. Slave owners would tell there slaves this story to keep them from committing suicide, because they would of course lose their workers. The reason I say that they told this “story” was because of course it was not even close to being true.…

    There, they were worked and beaten until it boiled down to the strongest ones that survived were considered tame enough to be sold to plantation owners. In 1782 the governor of Louisiana prohibited the importation of blacks from the West Indies because he saw them to be steeped in Voodooism and threatening to his citizens' safety. He set out to outlaw the practice of Voodoo fearing that it's evil would serve as a rallying point for slave uprising, especially as white colonists were greatly outnumbered by those they held in bondage. It was not until the successors of James Monroe had concluded the purchase of Louisiana from France in 1803 that some of these restrictions were lifted. In addition, by now, a new generation of Africans had grown…

    The word Vodou, also known as Voodoo, means “spirit” or “deity” in the languages of West Africa. It is a religion that encompasses philosophy, medicine, and justice. The creator of both the universe and the spirits is understood to be the God of the Christian Bible; however, because the religion was established before people were able to read or write; therefore, there is no sacred text or central authority. Spanning centuries and continents the religion has morphed into hundreds of incarnations and practices. One such incarnation of the religion is Louisiana voodoo, also known as New Orleans Voodoo, a unique form of voodoo religion practiced-- as its name suggests--mainly in Louisiana and the southeastern United States.…

It was perceived as fraudulent, but during the late twentieth century, concerns over fraudulence began to subside and Voodoo was received as more of a social tourist commodity and possible jackpot for commercial profiteering. During the beginning of the 21st century, there has been a new recognition of Voodoo as an accredited religion; one place that fits the bill is New Orleans. The state of New Orleans is unorthodox in its social, political and religion in contrast to the conservative southern region of the United States. Part of the ideology behind New Orleans is its notorious affiliation and practice with Voodoo.…
