In "Vodou Haitian Religion" the author provides information about how vodou became an official religion in Haiti and what it's about. It can be spelled many different ways. This religion came from African ethnic groups who were enslaved in the 16th and 17th century. The fundamental principle is that everything is spirit. It is an oral tradition.
What i found interesting about this is article is exactly how voodoo works, and the fact that is basically "witchcraft". I think that it is really scary stuff but it their religion it's their way of life. It was a very well written article.
The article ties into the culture of the country because it has to do with religion. Not only is it their religion, but how they live. It's very dangerous stuff to be dealing with, it is used for good and bad but mostly good. about 2 percent of the haitian population practices voodoo.
