I'm looking for a genuine Voodoo practitioner. Please only recommend someone if you have personally worked with them and had a real experience. I'm looking for someone who is trustworthy, professional, and not a scammer. I would really appreciate honest recommendations from people with firsthand experience. Please no fake reviews, promotions, or advertising. Thank you in advance.
Hello everyone! I am Indigenous American Mixed, I’m posting this because one of my clients is coming to me for a reading and it could potentially involve Oya.
I know enough about Voodoo it is an ATR that was brought over from Africa to the US by african slaves, the practice was very underground and a lot of the Orisha’s/Lwa’s(?) i’ve heard the term is interchangeable from various practitioners but the spirits had to be “disguised” under the identities of Saints in order for the slaves to avoid persecution which is Voodoo became Synchronized into Christianity to avoid persecution. Because of this it is closed to AA people only but I just want to make sure as a professional tarot reader, that I’m being as respectful as I can. My client chose to come to me because they felt drawn to me for this particular reason which is why I’m even taking this reading on
I’m asking for advice or at least a few things I should be aware of should Oya make her presence known in the reading or have a message for me to pass along.
Please lets remain courteous, I have no intentions of disrespecting voodoo and its spirit’s within the religion which is why I wanted to ask here and get answers from the people who would know best about it, have a wonderful day everyone!🫶🏽
Mods if this isn’t allowed,let me know please!
Hi everyone. Has anyone here personally worked with Houngan Janbe-Male (Anthony Junior Derius)? I'm looking for honest reviews from people who have actually had a reading or spiritual work done with him. What was your experience like? Did you see any results? I would really appreciate genuine feedback before I decide to contact him. Thank you!
Hi!
As someone who is new to the religion, but feels a certain pull to it, what would be a good way to start learning and exploring more about the religion? Is there a good jumping off point that I could use, or should I start looking into booking a reading, and if the latter, how would I go about doing that?
Sorry if it's a lot. :3

Hi everyone!
I had joined a spiritual group where they had worked with a variety of spirits in the temple. They offered different types of occult related classes and hosted rituals (not just haitian voodou). The head priest said they were a hougan priest and practiced new orleans voodou. I had came for one of their rituals. I was quite drunk when this happened, and later found out I have a met tet. I was told she had "partially posessed" me. I was given items related to the met tet and was instructed to create a home altar for my met tet. He had told me that I was born with her, and voodou must have ran in my family. My family is heavily Catholic, and didnt know I have voudou. After I did some Googling, I was surprised to hear there was intersection in my cultural heritage and voodou due to colonialism.
I later left the group when I come to realize that the spiritual group was manipulative, and felt uncomfortable with the group dynamics. I am quite new to spirituality and spirit work. I have been feeling a lot of fear since leaving. I was taught leaving would have spiritual consequences and must follow specific protocols to work with the spirits. I havent contacted my met tet since I had left. Recently her ritual cup had fell over the items and a piece of the cup broke while I was contemplating if I should call her, whether or not if the connection was real. I had interpreted this as maybe she was real, and wanted a connection. I am not sure.
I'm looking for advice on what to do. Perhaps I should find a hougan or mambo to confirm. But I feel quite vulnerable, and wary. Does anyone have advice?
Hello. Sorry but I am clueless. Please help me reorient to this website and to Vodou. I have been reading posts for information on readings. I would like to know possible prices, types of readings, what to expect the reader to do, what should I expect to learn/gain in a reading? Since I am not easily finding the answers I may be approaching things the wrong way. Please help me understand. Maybe point me to helpful information. Thank you.
When I was a child I was thoroughly fascinated by my limited exposure to Vodun/Vodou/Voodoo/Hoodoo. There were three relevant books on the subject in the local library. I rented them over and over. I was drawn to Vodou because I thought it could help me make sense out of many strange things I saw. Later as an independent 14 year old I made my first trip to a botanica. But with all the new age stuff my spiritual path went in a different direction. Years later I learned my g-grandmother was a healer who travel to do healing for the poor and those no allowed in the hospitals. She was especially sought out for burns/wounds and 'talking the fire out of people'. As she was on her death bed strong men raised her bed into the air and placed large stones on the floor and placed the bed on the stones. For years I asked africans if they were familiar with such a ritual/process. Then I asked a coworker from a Haitian Vodou family and they explained it to me. For quite a while I thought my ggm was a practitioner. But she at least may have had someone do that one ritual or job for her.
I just shared the backstory of how Vodou may have slightly brushed against my life. I am interested in getting a reading and seeing what unfolds. There is a pressing issued I would like information on concerning decisions I have to make. Vodou is practically nonexistent here. One house is 4 hours away. I am 7 hours away from New Orleans.
How do I move forward? I prefer in person. I am AA male. Should I look for a particular lineage? Not sure what to do. I am really interested in Haitian Vodou. Can you help me.
Hi everyone.
I'm doing my research into legitimate Vodou practitioners to work with on a personal issue. Can someone here tell me if they know anything about Manbo Kasekan & Sosyete l'Afrik Ginen or a Manbo called Ziari?
Thank you
Hi guys! I am looking for a house that will bring me in; preferably in the US. Can someone who is initiated please comment down below so I can purchase a reading to get things started? Or you can send me a message on this platform. I’d love to be in the religion. I want to become a Manbo.
Hi everyone,
I just came back from a trip to New Orleans last week. The city is incredibly beautiful, and despite the intense heat, I loved the atmosphere. However, I can’t shake off something strange and deeply unsettling that happened to me there, and I’m looking for some insights or similar stories.
On my second night, I was walking around St. Louis Cathedral and the French Market. Out of nowhere, I was hit by an overwhelming wave of stress and panic. My chest felt tight, my head was spinning, and I felt this powerful, primal urge to just run away as fast as I could.
The next day started fine, but then the nights at my hotel turned bizarre. I woke up multiple times in absolute panic, with my upper body completely paralyzed and tense. To make things weirder, I repeatedly heard the distinct sound of water running in the bathroom, but every time I checked, everything turned off.
What's fascinating is that it seemed highly location-dependent. I took a tour of the Bayou, and everything felt completely peaceful. I also visited the Tremé neighborhood, and felt great. In fact, right after coming back from the Bayou excursion, I was in top shape. But as soon as I walked back toward the French Market to grab some food, the exact same heavy malaise and panic hit me again out of nowhere. I had to leave the area immediately. Later in the trip, I decided to do a Voodoo tour... and the exact same intense anxiety and panic attack came roaring back instantly
Once I got home, I noticed two terrifying physical details that I cannot explain: I have a strange scratch on my back that I don't remember getting AND I have a burn mark on my right ankle. It has now turned into a massive scab, and I have absolutely no memory of burning myself or getting hurt during the trip.
This heavy, dark feeling of anxiety and panic didn't leave me until I finally boarded my flight back home. Now that I'm back, the anxiety is completely gone and I feel like myself again, but I'm left with these unexplained marks on my body.
I've never felt anything like this before. It truly felt like I was being targeted or overwhelmed by negative energies specific to certain parts of the city.
Thanks for reading.
Been wanting to get with one for awhile now, but it’s hard trying to find a legit one🙏🏾📿
