Vodou is a healing centered, eco-theological philosophy that provides a basis for sustaining and transmitting the wisdom and intelligence of our ancestors into sacred rites. It form the foundation of the moral and ethical standards we uphold as African descendants. Vodou’s intellectual and ethical framework teaches and advocates a self-sufficient, democratic, equalitarian, and egalitarian way of living in the world, holding every member of the community accountable for his or her actions. It has done so since the first humans appeared on the first continent we have known as home: Africa.
