"The Voodoo Mysteries. The origin" Documentary
Voodoo is a religion that is very closely linked with nature and many of its deities dwell in rivers, valleys and mountains. There are many natural settings which are real sanctuaries. The faithful retreat to these places to meditate and meet their luas, or family spirits, and the principle forces of the Universe.
These are spiritual observatories that enable them to communicate with the Great Beyond.

Voodoo determines and presides over Haitian society, it is always present in a world where everything that happens, be it good or bad, is attributed to the direct intervention of the spirits.

Limonat beach is a place of pilgrimage. Preachers from the most distant parts of the country come here to perform Guiné ceremonies and beseech the favour of Erzuli,
mother Earth, the Goddess of Love, who is identified in syncretism with the Virgin Mary. In the shade of the sacred trees, families take turns to perform their ceremonies.
They mainly offer food and rum and wait for Erzuli to appear, for her to take possession of someone's body.

Erzuli likes to flirt, and seduces people without distinguishing between sexes. She may enter the body of a man or of a woman, but everybody will immediately recognise her because of her suggestive movements. Each preacher recognises different beings in this possession. Its syncretic translation would be the Virgin of High Grace,
the Black Virgin or the Virgin of Monte Carmelo and sometimes St Philomena,
identified in voodoo with a siren who comes out of the sea or of fresh water.

Each lua has different colours, so different coloured scarves are used to call them.
White kaolin powder is also used to attract certain deities and to identify them. Each person may marry his protective lua. They gather their relations and witnesses together and go to the OUNFO or voodoo temple, where a mystic wedding is held.
From this moment on, the earthly spouse will have to abstain from sexual intercourse on certain days specified by his lua.
