Keep reading our Haiti Voodoo quotes and sayings on this 6000-year-old spirit honoring traditional and religious practices of Africa.
Voodoo is a monotheistic religion worshipped by the Haitians and Negro communities in the U.S, South America, and Africa.
The Vodoun was started by the slaves of the West African people brought to Haiti by the French Colonialists.
It gained more prominence when the negros were forcibly converted to Roman Catholicism by the colonialists out of insecurity, superiority, and threat to their religion.
The believers of the Voodoo religion believe the mother spirit has arrived to give them prophecies, warnings, and other vital advice to solve their life problems.
Even today, for the Haitians and a large sect of Africans, Voodoo is a way of living amidst the spirits.
On the contrary, many Western books and fantasy movies depict voodoo as evil spirits, black magic, devil worshippers, and occult-related death and the afterlife.

For people who struggle and fight to survive and who fight to live, those are really important things.

Inspirational Voodoo Quotes

Haitian Vodoo Quotes
Voodoo is very old magic – possibly one of the oldest forms of all time. It’s often referred to as vodou or voudoun. Voodoo worships the loa, which are literally spirits – like ghosts – but much more powerful. The priestess can summon the loa, and the spirit inhabits her body. It’s called being ‘ridden.
