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.
The man answering is authentic...he has a gift, and did awesome job answering your questions. I hope you are also respectful of him, as he has respected you.

Hey bro, you are doing excellent work, I can see your passion. Haitians have been demonized for having strong African roots and practicing African spirituality in the West Hemisphere for a very long time. Hopefully, our people will get educated on this subject matter.

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!
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.
voodoo is basically making contact and worshipping spirits who are a creation but Islam and Christianity only preach that instead we should worship the creator or the supreme spirit that created all spirits
Thank you for this video. Was looking for a black open-minded person to share their experience. I saw two very offensive videos of white British people coming in and either making fun or depicting this religion in a negative light.
If you think about it Christ YAHAWASHI had the greatest power in controlling the elements as far as healing the suck making the lame walk. Multiply food raising the dead and so on and Christians look past that for the most part.

Much respect on this video. But Togo also acknowledges Vodoun as it’s official religion. Fon and Ewe are fairly similar in any event. This is encouraging and was necessary very soon I will be uploading my content from Africa.

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.
31:00 I think they are successful! They still have intact families. $ and industry doesn't equal success. They still have each other and thier humanity. We are a society of hybrid humans with no compassion, we barley know how to eat properly...

Thank you to everyone in this video. I have been looking for information on indigenous African religions from actual Africans - not from random people who have renamed themselves and claimed to be initiated. There is much to learn. Thank you so much.
Brother Dynast I truly understand Voodoo a little more with these videos Ase' ❤🖤💚I was in religion for years but I will say 2018 I left the church and religion and got into Spirituality...since then I feel so much peace...i have ways to go and i thank you for your channel, these questions were on point🌟

This was very informative and I'm enlighten to know the purpose of voodoun . The heart and the spirit of the person is to protect themselves but not to hurt others.
I am a former Hebrew Israelite cult member, they teach that Haitians, like my wife who descends from Togo & Benin, are Hebrew Israelites and that Whydah means Judah.. thanks for this you’re amazing man. 🙏🏼 beautiful video!
Imagine knocking on someone’s door asking about the previous residents and them saying I don’t know them and then saying to yourself see they were never here lol...now imagine asking ppl about something that happened centuries ago and then saying Oh you never heard of them? Means they were never here lol..I’m not a Hebrew Israelite gang member but the question n answer proved nothing..ppl don’t even know who lived in their apartment a month before them lol question could’ve been way more in depth
@@ryoung8891 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.
@@sanmigueltv so you think that question was in depth enough to gather all the information needed?? I said the question could’ve been more in depth...it was asked quickly with a negative connotation all I’m saying
@@ryoung8891 you feel me he came asking about a Greek name lmaoooo 🤣🤣 I got people that be all through Africa and can come with the information on how the children of Israel was definitely there asking people born to these lands
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!

Great interview..mostly because, this is an excellent example of what it looks like to try and understand "traditional African" sensibilities and paradigms via an American educated lens. The majority of the dialogue is looking at the difference in understanding vodou as aspects, energies, entities of nature and creation (aka, divinity) vs fetish as elements of magic that are not divine...... A great teaching moment here! Thank you for your travels and contributions.
Thanks this gives me a better view of charms and fettish. Vodoun is so much different from the witchcraft I know. Great video this helped broaden my view on voodoo

Could you put french subtitles as well as subtitles of the local language so it can also benefit the the local people in Benin , it's good for them to see this beautiful representation of themselves
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.
@@mikeyohanna1197 voodoo never brought the Arabs or first European countries known as Greece and the Romans to Africa..Therefore voodoo will never drive them out....
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.
Actually, they've taken some steps in Haiti to give vodoo some structure. They have a high priest over the whole country... But with all the many instabilities, it'll take a very long time to fully implement some formalization and rules.
Hello Dynast, I love the necklace that you're wearing! The people are very nice and friendly to you! Another great video! I want to meet you one day Dynast!
If we are holding our selves accountable for our flaws, then should we also identify those errors instead of placing them in general categories. great info in the pursuit of the root cause.
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.
Theeosiris Trenton I'm also a geechee/gullah person from the lowcountry of South Carolina. I'm researching and watching informative/important videos that reconnect myself to our original religion (voodoo). What area are you from if you don't mind me asking.
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.
Theeosiris Trenton I think hoodoo might be odu ifa/odu afa in Yoruba and Igbo. Odu means advice or council or utterances. Afa or ifa is basically divination. Basically it is reading nature.
Global African Tribalism for Self-Government yea I would agree. They both are with many other tribes the ancestors to the Gullah people. I would say it's a mixture. 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.
If Judaism was so strong how did the Romans conquer Israel? If Islam was so strong how were the Europeans able to colonize their countries? If Hinduism was so strong how were the Muslims and Europeans able to colonize them?
because we were punished for disobeying Yah. You people never read anything but make assumptions. When we ran from our original lands we join the custom of those people with us being put into slavery for it, so until we get it right we will continue to suffer.....sorry but that is the fact my brother, Yah left us hanging cause we rejected him, so let voodoo save you....I wish you nothing but the best
Yeaaaahhh. So when is "YAH" going to punish China and Japan for doing the exact same practices we do? Last time I checked, they were 1st World nations. Most of Africa is christian now. So, either YAH just hates black people, OR, He's deaf, dumb, bind and stupid because he's not aware of all these other people doing the exact same thing he punished us for. Ahhh, no booboo, no!
I swear these people are crazy,these people say the white people are wicked but is using the same bible the white men gave them to justify there faith,shit is crazy
TRUTHTEACHER2007 Black people are always claiming some god is punishing them when its our own behavior and hardheads getting us into trouble! The reason "Yah" isnt punishing other people is because he doesnt exist!
Thank you for your research and bringing the truth forth. Your work is as important as those that were commissioned to construct the Bible. You must put a book together.
Brother, your efforts will make a difference in undoing this curse of the invaders who brought the mind rot tool to conquer the minds of our people!.........hats off to you! By the way I am very curious as to what type of camera you are using in this video?
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.
It would have been better if you asked him about the Erverh as this is how you say Hebrew in the original tongue. You would have probably got a different answer. I am new to your chanel and I am subscribing

Leviticus 26:1-4 [1]Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God.

This was so good….I could listen to that brother speak all day
I love this!! This is Food for my Soul.
Much respect on this video. But Togo also acknowledges Vodoun as it’s official religion. Fon and Ewe are fairly similar in any event. This is encouraging and was necessary very soon I will be uploading my content from Africa.
In addition to animism you can use pantheism. The idea that everything is part of or a manifestation of God and everything is connected.

Bro I love the segment around the 7 minute mark on the Hebrew Israelite claim that they had a presence in West Africa by taking a clan's name and trying to write themselves into African history. Keep up the awesome work you're doing family!!

All this mess happened when our ancestors embraced the white man..and started following after their God.
What he is saying is this is a sacred, it can not be recreated some place else.

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.
Great job paisan. You're helping eliminate the fear of many to go into the roots of our people and escape the tourist areas.
31:00 I think they are successful! They still have intact families. $ and industry doesn't equal success. They still have each other and thier humanity. We are a society of hybrid humans with no compassion, we barley know how to eat properly...

Thank you to everyone in this video. I have been looking for information on indigenous African religions from actual Africans - not from random people who have renamed themselves and claimed to be initiated. There is much to learn. Thank you so much.
LOL, the green eye devil is for real. The self hate is unbelievable. I must ask do you also wear contacts and bleach your skin.
Brother Dynast I truly understand Voodoo a little more with these videos Ase' ❤🖤💚I was in religion for years but I will say 2018 I left the church and religion and got into Spirituality...since then I feel so much peace...i have ways to go and i thank you for your channel, these questions were on point🌟
Powerful interview brother, thank you for this.

This was very informative and I'm enlighten to know the purpose of voodoun . The heart and the spirit of the person is to protect themselves but not to hurt others.
I am a former Hebrew Israelite cult member, they teach that Haitians, like my wife who descends from Togo & Benin, are Hebrew Israelites and that Whydah means Judah.. thanks for this you’re amazing man. 🙏🏼 beautiful video!
Imagine knocking on someone’s door asking about the previous residents and them saying I don’t know them and then saying to yourself see they were never here lol...now imagine asking ppl about something that happened centuries ago and then saying Oh you never heard of them? Means they were never here lol..I’m not a Hebrew Israelite gang member but the question n answer proved nothing..ppl don’t even know who lived in their apartment a month before them lol question could’ve been way more in depth
Focus on Jesus Christ
@@ryoung8891
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.
@@sanmigueltv so you think that question was in depth enough to gather all the information needed?? I said the question could’ve been more in depth...it was asked quickly with a negative connotation all I’m saying
@@ryoung8891 you feel me he came asking about a Greek name lmaoooo 🤣🤣 I got people that be all through Africa and can come with the information on how the children of Israel was definitely there asking people born to these lands
Our downfall was and still is LOVE!
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!

@@pascalthierry4675 Nope. Thou shall not have any other Gods.
Great interview..mostly because, this is an excellent example of what it looks like to try and understand "traditional African" sensibilities and paradigms via an American educated lens.
The majority of the dialogue is looking at the difference in understanding vodou as aspects, energies, entities of nature and creation (aka, divinity) vs fetish as elements of magic that are not divine......
A great teaching moment here! Thank you for your travels and contributions.
Thanks this gives me a better view of charms and fettish. Vodoun is so much different from the witchcraft I know. Great video this helped broaden my view on voodoo
Is a must for Every African to watch this video. "IYE ASE IYE"
I took the ancestry Autosomal DNA test. I'm 85% Sub-Saharan African/ 28% Benin/27% Cameroonian/15% Senegal/6% Ghanaian /6% Nigerian/3% Malian.
Therefore, there is no doubt that some of my ancestors practiced Vodum

Great question @ 8:49! New to your channel and loving all the thought-provoking content! Keep em pumping please.
Thank you and please share the content
I can converse with this brother all day, or just listen to him.
Could you put french subtitles as well as subtitles of the local language so it can also benefit the the local people in Benin , it's good for them to see this beautiful representation of themselves
The true african man is pure love.
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.
Voodoo don't work.. tell Africans to use voodoo to get all the Muslims Arabs out of Africa who is still enslaveing black africans
@@mikeyohanna1197 voodoo never brought the Arabs or first European countries known as Greece and the Romans to Africa..Therefore voodoo will never drive them out....
Much love and respect my brother 🇯🇲🇯🇲
Thank you for your love for your people
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.
Actually, they've taken some steps in Haiti to give vodoo some structure. They have a high priest over the whole country... But with all the many instabilities, it'll take a very long time to fully implement some formalization and rules.
Abrahamic religions are smart, they have made their belief system strict and rigid to reduce that kind of stuff
@@Neko.Virtual yeah, unfortunately though, that also comes with a lot of cons.
Thank you Dynast for doing this. I want to go with you to the festival one year. 👍🏼
You are welcome
Hello Dynast, I love the necklace that you're wearing! The people are very nice and friendly to you! Another great video! I want to meet you one day Dynast!
If we are holding our selves accountable for our flaws, then should we also identify those errors instead of placing them in general categories. great info in the pursuit of the root cause.
You in the house of Ogun!?!! 🤩.. I know this is of the most high!
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.
Gullah Geechee all day. Beaufort South Carolina
Theeosiris Trenton I'm also a geechee/gullah person from the lowcountry of South Carolina. I'm researching and watching informative/important videos that reconnect myself to our original religion (voodoo). What area are you from if you don't mind me asking.
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.
Theeosiris Trenton I think hoodoo might be odu ifa/odu afa in Yoruba and Igbo. Odu means advice or council or utterances. Afa or ifa is basically divination. Basically it is reading nature.
Global African Tribalism for Self-Government yea I would agree. They both are with many other tribes the ancestors to the Gullah people. I would say it's a mixture. 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.
If Judaism was so strong how did the Romans conquer Israel? If Islam was so strong how were the Europeans able to colonize their countries? If Hinduism was so strong how were the Muslims and Europeans able to colonize them?
because we were punished for disobeying Yah. You people never read anything but make assumptions. When we ran from our original lands we join the custom of those people with us being put into slavery for it, so until we get it right we will continue to suffer.....sorry but that is the fact my brother, Yah left us hanging cause we rejected him, so let voodoo save you....I wish you nothing but the best
Yeaaaahhh. So when is "YAH" going to punish China and Japan for doing the exact same practices we do? Last time I checked, they were 1st World nations. Most of Africa is christian now. So, either YAH just hates black people, OR, He's deaf, dumb, bind and stupid because he's not aware of all these other people doing the exact same thing he punished us for. Ahhh, no booboo, no!
I swear these people are crazy,these people say the white people are wicked but is using the same bible the white men gave them to justify there faith,shit is crazy
TRUTHTEACHER2007 Black people are always claiming some god is punishing them when its our own behavior and hardheads getting us into trouble!
The reason "Yah" isnt punishing other people is because he doesnt exist!
And if voodoo was so strong why Africa was conquered
Brother keep doing what you doing👍🏽, please enlighten a lot of these people
Thank you for your research and bringing the truth forth. Your work is as important as those that were commissioned to construct the Bible. You must put a book together.

By the way I am very curious as to what type of camera you are using in this video?
This is the way to find out who you really are . well done great information. Love from UK@ # Gloucestershire xx
Great video. I must get back to Africa to learn Vodoun.
Great information on voodoo I miss your videos over Christmas and New Year's holiday
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.
It would have been better if you asked him about the Erverh as this is how you say Hebrew in the original tongue. You would have probably got a different answer. I am new to your chanel and I am subscribing
Exactly. "Judah" is romanticized.
Imagine knocking on someone’s door asking about the previous residents and them saying I don’t know them and then saying to yourself see they were never here lol...now imagine asking ppl about something that happened centuries ago and then saying Oh you never heard of them?

Nigerians don't practice vodoun, they have their different form of spirituality which might be similar to vodoun.
Knowledge is power.
Haiti is the country is also acknowledging Vodoo and we made Vodoo known worldwide.
Thanks for setting the record straight.
Thank you so much for this video my brotha. You went straight to the source! I'm trying to learn more about vodun, to practice it. It's so hard to learn about vodun because no on can give a straight answer with all the lies about it.
Mr Dynast, I’ve been following you quite some time. I’m am impressed by the journalistic skills, and those things you are passionate about.
