Broadly travels to Haiti in search of healing with Manbo Katy, a Vodou priestess who summons the spirits to help heal her community. Six years after the 2010 earthquake, which killed more than 160,000 and left over a million people without a home, Haiti is still in dire need of physical, emotional, and spiritual healing. Katy comforts all those who orbit in her sphere, feeding their stomachs and their souls with a combination of financial support and traditional Vodou healing practices. We’ll follow Katy and those whose lives she’s touched as they make their selections of livestock at a beast market, adorn the temple, and prepare for the celebration of the dead, an immersive and transformative ceremony that will call on the spirits to protect the community.

This documentary allowed the Haitians to tell their own stories. That's what made it so appealing and beautiful.
Agree. Very beautiful story and so pure!
Wilkine Brutus I agree
Stephanie voodoo is the works of satan. It is an abomination to God to the almighty. In the scriptures one of the the ten commandments rule clearly states that thou shalt not have any other gods before me.
+Emilio Maurice even so they have a right to be satanic if they want to
@@cherie9928 you don't have lecture me on christianity and the bible because in case you didn't know I've studied theology in college. However, I know the bible wasn't written by God directly but it was written by his chosen prophets and apostles and over the years it just got updated to different versions by the church of england and Rome because some people have different denominations.
Her voice. Her skin. Her face. Her spirit. Everything about her is so pretty and gentle.
What's that song call at 6:43 6:53????
She is a genuine person in real life Use very down-to-earth she's a very nice person
TheZchristina97 that woman is clearly a witch.
@Unsesquipedalian no because she’s beautiful duhhh
Her name is Katy
I am Haitian-American & this has opened my eyes to a different perspective. Manbo Katy is not only beautiful but she has such a beautiful spirit. I would love to meet her.
dont go a whoring after those with familiar spirits or a whoring after wizards
She know my uncle if you want to meet her I can talk to him to tell her
How I can found she? I want to ask a lot🥺
I wanna meet her
You will meet Her on the 7th. Of any giving year🎉
Katy is an amazing woman. People are very ignorant of vodou and to its sheer beauty. Thank you for doing such important work. Offering love, shelter, food, acceptance, money, and opportunities to those most in need embodies God's love and that's what matters.
To use God and the word "vodou" which is an occult term is blasphemous to our creator.....
+Stanley Dougé who said anything about christianity? Im just saying dont mix the two .
+Stanley Dougé im not understanding what? That you said some bs about christianity? God isnt a one religion term? Lol Its a one BELIEF term. Nobody is saying anything about any religions dummy. All i said was dont thank GOD for voodoo because theyre two different things. Thats what the original comment was about. But since you wanna mention christianity lets go at it. Im exposing the occult because thats what voodoo is. A cult religion that practices animal and human sacrifices, demonic possession, deitie/statue worship, black magic, etc. what do you call that term? The occult. MY deity? My God is not a deity, lol i serve and love the God of Abraham of isaac and of jacob who sent his only son in human flesh to save your dumbass and i. Lol. Who tf sent you? Tryna defend your lame ass ground when YOU yourself dont even understand what youre saying. Smh...... Go read the bible instead of googling shit. Maybe youll learn a bit of wisdom or two..... 😴
+Stanley Dougé once again i never said anything about no religion because the word religion is a stigma people like YOU like to always like to imply. Your religion does this or your religion does that your religion judges your religion demands bla bla bla. Im stating my opinions based on the book of our creator not no man made "religion" . Im stating my comments from my own personal experiences and if im goin hard on what i believe its for a reason. Because thats what us believers do is try and awaken the blind and the foolish (like you .. and this lady who was dancing and the fool who was stabbing himself and was actually being possessed shit they all were). Im not saying my beliefs are better or worse nor did i say anything about any religion. Its about a personal connection with Christ. That you dont find in a temple, ritual, church, group therapy or anything like that. you find it when youre at your lowest when youre in need and realize that satan is not the answer, he is.
And whats satan? Shit like this. Blessings ✌🏼️
When Katy doesn't have on makeup, it looks like she does! She has great skin and she's stunningly beautiful. Her lip color is super unique! She's also very sweet for taking those people in her house!
says the House of Farts lol
House of farts iiii

These Haitians are practicing witchcraft and paganism. Who in the world wants to be possessed by evil spirits? I guess only the haitians are so blinded by this evil practice.
We as Haitians, need to share our positive & uplifting vibrations to our fellow Haitians.
Instead of going to the “bocor” to request bad luck on someone or “madichon” on someone, we need to go to the “bocor” to request good fortune & good tiding towards someone we LOVE 💕.
We have to STOP thinking about the people we dislike & start re-energizing our positive vibrations towards everyone we love.
As a Haitian, I approve this message.
💯
That’s what I’m on lol
I'm Haitian and most of the country is Catholic (thanks a lot colonialism) growing up voodoo was such a sensitive and taboo topic I never learned about it. but this was very interesting to see the other side
I mean if it wasn't colonized there wouldn't even be this there as it is of African descendence
You mean the African peoples brought over as slaves by white colonizers after they killed off all of the Taino and other indigenous groups from the Caribbean? Thanks a lot colonialism.
Callie S Haiti is the devil's land.
Callie S in fact, the Haitian people had a prophecy involving 3 different cloths. First a yellow cloth, which represented the taino indigenous people was covered up by a white cloth. After that a black cloth covered the white cloth. The Haitians saw themselves as avenging the genocide of the taino people. Some of the most powerful Lwa are the ones taught to or passed on to the African enslaved by the indigenous taino people.
Usually when new people come to settle in a land, the indigenous people transfer their knowledge of the land and local natural spirits to the new people. A way of passing the torch spiritually. The taino considered the colonizers too greedy, violent, and impure to pass on ancestral knowledge and protective spirits to, so instead they gave the knowledge they had to the Africans on the island whom they were close with. It's a sad story, but those indigenous people survive at least in part through vodun thankfully.
You meant to say the United States right?
Haitians are beautiful, they haven't lost their African features
They were fighting for their freedom. How did you feel when those white people was killing black people
Stanley Dougé your so called beloved Haiti is a hell hole on Earth. Most haitians live a desperate poverty and starvation and the only thing those fools can rely on is voodoo.
That's why I'm never going to this evil country known as Haiti. I've heard from a Haitian buddy of mine that some haitians called their country the land of the zombie. Sounds scary and weird.
Emilio Maurice A zombie in vodou isn't the same thing as a movie zombie
Emilio Maurice Also, why is it that Satan somehow can get all over Africa without being brought there, but God needs slavery and colonization to spread his influence?
More importantly, why would they need Jesus now if Jesus ignored their ancestors during slavery?
God she's gorgeous
Yes 🖐🏻
We are very beautiful people ;)
Thanks
At 7:49 the pattern she's drawing is veve. Each spirit has their specific veve which is used to call them. Veve in part comes from the Nsibidi writing system of SE Nigeria + southern Cameroon.
But mostly comes from Kongo Patipembas
I love this channel, I learn so many interesting things
You can ignore about its religious side, you can think it's just a cult
But you can't ignore the fact that it's their CULTURE - and CULTURE is what made us human - what shaped us.
It's sad that these interesting cultures are disappearing during this time, and with influences of big corrupted monotheistic religions...
anataria I honestly agree with you, I don't have the same beliefs as them but it does look interesting. Culture is diverse and thanks to many close-minded people many cultures have been disappearing.
Voodou isn't their culture. Voodou is/was used by the ancestors to escape slavery. Its not their culture. Other Caribbean countries such as Jamaica Trinidad etc had ancestry who did the same thing. It's not culture it was more of a survival technique.
Kingsley Maynard that has become part of the culture as it advanced
Oceana Lakes oh ok noice
@@kingsleyking7934 it's our culture. A way of life. Those who move away from it publicly sometimes secretly return. The Western religion (religious colonizers) is taking over Haiti... nevertheless, vodun is our roots. There's no escaping it. Some of us are just not dedicated to it because it requires too much of our energy and time so we embraced it without having to engage in the rituals, etc. (similar to secular Jews).
She is a true goddess.the way she looks ,speaks and care for others is beyond amazing ❤🔥💯✨🗣🌹
I'm religious but I can truthfully say that I loved this documentary. I wish I could meet this woman.
Her skin is so perfect and I love her voice, I bet she'll be a great singer that can win millions but she's sharing things with people, they help each other. KATY MAKE US A SKIN CARE ROUTINE :')
This is beautiful.I love hearing her voice.
June 13, 2019: If you have a clean heart, there is no reason to fear anything. Blessings to Haiti.
This is the woman i want in my life...she's pure...i hope she sings more
this means a lot to me. the haiti earthquake was so major, and at the time i had a friend who was from haiti and she had family living there. she was worried so much. this documentary is so beautiful ajsiak
Absolutely beautiful! And Ms. Katy is an amazingly wonderful and compassionate person! She is a true saint! God bless. Ayibobo!!!
This is such a great video, although it doesn't go too much into Vodou cosmology or tradition. Still, it provides a good look at how Vodou heals people in Ayiti.

Hello and thank you for this cultutral insight into the fascinating country of Haiti.
Would you like to tell me the name of the eerie and soothing music at about 8:10?
Blond Gabriel how can you proud of a country who is dedicated to worshipping the devil. This group of haitians in this video are very wicked and are calling on demonic spirits. Only Jesus Christ can give you healing and peace not voodoo.
Such a beautiful and powerful spiritual tradition. All the best to Manbo Katy, her community, and Haiti.
(And yes, the man who cut himself is fine. People participating in a ceremony look out for the wellbeing of those ridden by lwa.)
Em hotep from an American that honors the Egyptian Netjeru.
It's beautiful how vodou brings everone together here
I want it too
calm yoself
Nick Reichwein voodoo only brings demonic spirits and curses. Voodoo is black magic and it is the works of Satan. Therefore for you to say that voodoo brings people together would be a lie from the Pitt of hell because it only destroys lives.
Emilio Maurice why are u on every video about voodoo. If u dont like it bye skedadllleeee. 😂
@@medjinejeanclaude1011
Most Dominicans are all over Haitian videos spreading nonsense
I don't get it. If they hate us so much, why follow our stuff so much
I feel like they're so lost, which is so sad
AYIBOBO she is a blessing to the culture.
Thank you for sharing and showing the beauty of the religion. I LOVE her spirit and the willingness to help heal others.. May God bless you ❤
the native language remains so amazing
Chelsea Charlery she’s speaking French
dreamergirlbaby
No she's not. She's speaking Hatiain Creole.
@@lnuma92 But her creole is very "frenchized", probably why
Kreyòl li francisé anpil
French influences
@@2percburke41 yes but it mixed with other west African languages and other languages, a French person wouldn't understand haitian creole
Having grown up with this and witnessed it first hand this can get extremely intense
poorer countries always tend to have amazing landscapes
this is the reason why they are poor..sad
@Renenut888 Renenut888 Do you believe all white westerners are bad? What about ones who had to come to America because of war elsewhere? Just a question.. I'm not like one of those assholes who will get offended or want to argue.
Apurva ts fuck you
I just Love people from Haiti 🇭🇹💓
This woman is so good
The positive energy that woman emits is just amazing
From the US, was surprised to see this advertisement..."In the beginning God created heaven and Earth" Bless Haiti !!-Godspead
I've always been curious about voduo and this documentary helped me a lot thanks
Man , it’s crazy my family use to do this . It’s inside me too.
Voodoo is amazing. Finally a video where only truth and positivity is told about this ancient culture. Loved this
This was done very tastefully. Beautiful job
I use to be so scared of obeja and others indigenous religions my ancestors practiced. I mean the self stabbing threw me off a bit but they are peaceful people.
Sending love to all the people who came to watch this video but fell into the deep sea of arguments in the comment section. 🤜💜🤛 peace be to all.
The music in this is beautiful!
look how clear her skin is! it's perfect!??!!
it’s melanin
Absolutely beautiful.
SO BEAUTIFUL IN THEIR WHITE TO GREET THE ANCESTORS...SO BEAUTIFUL...THANK YOU
I feel her passion and great spirit.
Wish she can visit Ghana to meet with the elders here
This manbo really puts it out there as to how beautiful Vodou is. Ayibobo
i 💕😘 the Haitian peoples may God blessings goes with them they've been going through a lot.one love 🥰🥰🙏🙏🌹 coming from 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Beautiful. I am Yoruba and our traditions are by practice identical
Sending out my ❤ to all the powers of our Ancestors
Manbo Katy is the most beautiful human I have ever seen.
Beautiful video💝. No comment box. is big enough to express how i feel.
may the lord Jesus save their souls..
They know him and they choose to do what they do. Book of Hebrews, those who know the truth and choose to continue to sin, there is no sacrifice that can save them from what is to come. It's sad but it's their choice to make.
Thanks you for this .
Please be with me in comfort and support guidance and protection
She's a work of art, full of purpose. And as for the 360 video, I wonder if Maya Deren would have loved it
Didn't she wrote Ride My Horse or something like that?
@@SI-ln6tc Yes, Divine Horsemen
don't look at the vodou just look how beautiful and kind that women is she is a beautiful person no mater what
and as always ellen says be kind to one another .
@@emilio2647 Stop trying to always push your religious views on others just because the book you read tells you it’s the “right” one. Stop being hateful towards Haitians that practice voodoo, they do what they want. You don’t see them constantly up on you telling you to get help or you need to stop.
Would love to visit Haiti I'm South African😍
where did she go, and what was she doing? how does she get the money to support her dependents? so many questions raised, so little answered.
swiftset I know! I'm left wanting to know more about her.
1:39 she mentioned that she had rice and other food items that they used to sell (so that's her business) but after the earthquake she took those food items and gave it out to people in need for no money. So, it's possible that she doesn't have much now. I wish I knew how to get in touch with her to donate the little that I can so she can continue to do her great work for her community.
musiklover2 the women in this video is my mother and no she’s not poor we live very good, we may not be rich but we always find a way cause we are fighters and my mother says thank you to anyone that has said anything positive about her
Please give your mother my love. Beautiful, I'd love to learn from a priestess such as her
ayibobo,this is beautiful..
She's an angel. Perhaps if Voudou was more widely accepted, she'd be compared to Mother Theresa. Taking care of those this world forgot. Where is the aid for Haiti? They have precious metals and ore, yet 60k people are still displaced? Voudou liberated Haiti once; it can do it again. This Priestess' heart is full of love of her people and her country. Ase!
Myesha Moore this woman is practicing witchcraft.
Emilio Maurice it’s Vodoun not witchcraft get it right, and so tf what? Is not hurting you
@@banko1808 for your information voodoo is black magic. If you don't believe then google it yourself in the online dictionary or thesaurus. However, I'm also from the British Caribbean so I know about voodoo and obeah and from what I learned over the years its evil and its based on the occult.
Emilio Maurice oh wow... not even I’m stupid enough to believe everything I read on the internet
Emilio Maurice idc where you’re from, it doesn’t mean you know anything, because that’s what it appears to be, that you don’t know shit
This was very beautiful, thanks for all the great content!
I love the song she was singing in the documentary.
I like her personality she’s not fake
I loved this little documentary
My husband's grandmother entered my body before to deliver a message to him. well, it happened more than once..... I do not remember what was said, but when she left, I was amazed.
I don’t even know her but I love her.
Listening to this lady I don't get any bad vibes from her. She's just here to help people I think
A good book to continue learning about this subject is Mama Lola
this was a lovely video❤❤❤❤
Ma fille pa gen magie noi ni blanc magie pa gen koulè nou gen yon forme de spiritualité nou gen énergie ok et mwen fière desce que ou montré m fierté peyi m ou mete li an valè mwen remercier w ma fille mwen vle wè plis vodou toujours kembe la mwen avè w m ap tant konsa et merci
Greetings to you all, brothers and sisters. I have a questions, my dear Haitian friends...I am a Dominican (I am now living in Santo Domingo, the Capital).The question is: Is there a way that those who practice Dominican Vaudou (Los Misterios) and those who practice Haitian Vaudou...can carry out a ceremony TOGETHER? Is it possible? I see that somehow, we share the same loas (we just call them by different names...), will there be big differences? Who can explain?
Amazing ! just amazing ! Ayibobo !!!
Such a Beautiful person I will love to visit her please off worship am from London
Thank you so much for this. My biological mother was Haitian and she, in addition to much cruelty, kept me away from this part of my heritage. She hated voudou, claiming it was evil, while she was the most evil person I ever knew. v_v
This short documentary brings me a little bit closer to my severed heritage. I almost cried when the people talked about how Manbo Katy welcomed them into her home, at 5:25 and 5:40. Bless her, and thank you.
Voodoo is not evil it’s people who dose evil things good intentions pure heart your never go wrong don’t run from your birth rite just be better then u seen blessed the people love
I enjoyed watching and learning.the spirit that entered the man with the knife I am curious to understand why it started stabbing him?
WELCOME HOME FAMILY THIS OUR POWER
This video now can show the world the truth of Africans religions by you tube, all the the while we were told all lies about voodoo and black magic religions. Their tradition now belongs to the world. I'm very happy to see this and I hope it will continue to the future. I respect all because they are the colours of the world.
she’s beautiful
what are the name of the songs played?
Wao
He is the only one who can judge
Beautiful
This was so interesting but there is one question that always enters my mind when viewing an apparent connection to spirits or possession. Are people genuinely so believing their body and mind is able to emulate what they perceive to be happening or it's just an act? Either way I really enjoyed this.
John Carter it evil in every sense of the world u can't mix with this kind of life and not have dinner with the devil
Deba Glory sorry to break it to you but we don’t believe in Satan
It is very much so real. When a divine being mounts you, they have full control. Your personality will change because well it's them, your voice can change, the spirit will eat what they favor, smoke if they favor, drink if they favor and none of what they choose to indulge in will have an affect on your body when they do leave. It's quite amazing actually.
@@tamiamarie2012 a friend told me this, I find it both amazing & shocking!
I worked with the demons and Satan, Lucifer and Azazel and I was so possessed I growled like a werewolf on the floor and shook as I had a seizure. That is so damn good! Hail Satan! Hail Azazel and the demons!!!! >:(( \m/ \m/ May the gates of hell open for all of us!
I just have one question, where did she get her highlight?! It's so beautiful on her!!
beautiful poetry
c'est tres beau ,bien fait et cela donne une autre vision plus formel de cette religion que l'on rejette souvent pwoblem sak kap rejetél toute moune guin choix pa yo et mwen mwen choisi lwa, fè choix paw epi pas encombré pieds moune
I love my culture ❤
She’s beautiful
does anybody know how to get in touch with her? I would LOVE to be part of her next ceremony or dance.
Stanley Dougé what’s wrong with that?
That was beautiful
Yahwa bless Haiti
How could I please get Manbo Katy's contact information? I would like to learn about Vodou from her.
I want to talk to this woman. How can I get in touch with her. There is a higher cause working here...
she is so gorgeous
Can somebody tell me what the point in the ritual was... I couldn't read the translation because subtitles were in the way
this was beautiful
Does anybody know the name of the song starting at 3:40?
Jesus loves you and me too, Jesus Christ is coming so prepare
Ok
But some of us prefer to keep our beliefs
Jahovah said thou shall have no other God other than him,word to the wise and there is a price to pay .
Very beautiful
I really love and respect this religion 😭
was pretty scary at 10:45 when the guy was stabbing himself. i wonder what the spirit's reason is for this ? anyone in vodou have an explanation?
Hi, it's a spirit that is considered Petro. Petro spirits are "hot", therefore their possessions are usually more graphic than calm spirits. This is nothing but a manifestation of the spirit - once a Lwa (elevated spirit from Vodou) possesses a person, they usually do things to prove themselves before proceeding with healing and advicing others. The spirit you're seeing in this man's head stabs herself without feeling pain to prove that it is really her and not some person pretending to be possessed. After a person wakes up, they don't feel the pain of the stabbing.
Omg I was scrolling to the comments to see if anyone notice the blood randomly appear on his shirt
10:48
That’s ezili danto, a petro spirit. Her symbol is two knifes and she’s very firey
What does the cross have to do with any ritual in this religion?
