Shrouded in mystery and often misunderstood, voodoo conjures up visions of James Bond Villains, dolls studded with pins and malevolent Gods. These visions are the creations of Hollywood movies. Vodun is about peoples ancestral past, their culture and their connection with the land. An ancient and complex belief system of worship and obligation that is increasing in popularity as an expression of African identity in the 21st Century.
