Voodoo's spell over Haiti

The drumming and chanting goes on hour after hour. A goat and a 
small black pig have their throats cut, and the blood is sprinkled 
over the worshippers. 
The animals are thrown into a pool of brown, bubbling mud. 
Many of the blue and red-robed believers jump into the pond as 
well. 
This is the climax of the voodoo ceremony at the Plaine du Nord, 
some 300 kilometres north of the Haitian capital, Port-au-Prince. 
Thousands of Haitian voodoo believers make the trek to the Plaine 
du Nord each year - some of them from as far afield as the United 
States and Canada. 
"I come here because I have lots of problems," says Mironne, from 
nearby Cap Haitien. "The saints will help me, and it brings me and 
all my friends together." 
This voodoo ceremony is in honour of Ogou, the spirit of fertility 
and the earth: but also of the Catholic saint of Saint James, the 
warrior saint, and is held every year towards the end of July. 
Throughout the month of July there are voodoo ceremonies and 
pilgrimages all over Haiti.

But this year for the first time, voodoo has been recognised as an 
official religion in Haiti, where it has been practised for almost 
300 years. 
"We have our own temples," Nene, a voodoo priest or houngan tells 
me. "We believe in God, and we baptise people, we have religious 
ceremonies, so of course we are a church." 
This recognition of voodoo, which combines a belief in a single god 
with the worship of ancestral spirits that enter the body of its 
believers in ceremonies like the one at Plaine du Nord, does not 
please everyone. 
"The Bible tells us we are made in the image of God," says the 
Catholic priest Adonais Jean-Juste. "But these people who bathe in 
mud are behaving like pigs - they're the animals who like to roll in 
mud. These voodoo believers need to be made clean by being baptised 
in Christ." 
Others are more understanding.

"People who are possessed by voodoo spirits feel two things," says 
John Hoet, a Belgian priest who has spent all his adult life working 
in rural Haiti. 
"Often for the first time in their lives they feel they are 
important. They speak with a voice of authority, the voice of Ogou, 
and people listen to them." 
"They also feel part of a community, and protected in a way they 
are not protected by anyone else in their lives." 
After the ceremony at the Plaine du Nord, the believers move on at 
dawn to bathe in the sea at nearby Limonade, with their faith 
renewed. 
Despite the suspicions of other religions, and despite its 
reputation for black magic, voodoo is ever more deeply rooted in 
this Caribbean country of some eight million people. 
As the Catholic missionary John Hoet admits: 'Haitians may be 95% 
Catholic, but they are 100% voodoo."

Se qualcuno continua a pensare che tutte le culture debbano essere
poste sullo stesso piano, spero si ricreda alla svelta, prima che
le culture come quella di cui sopra si diffondano in Europa.
I primitivi cominciano tutti con "innocui" sacrifici di capre
e porcellini, come quelli di cui sopra, ma inevitabilmente la
loro cultura li induce ad alzare il tiro e passare agli
esseri umani...
Credevamo che la barbarie tribale fosse relegata ad epoche
preistoriche o nel profondo di foreste africane remotissime,
ma l'immigrazione sta portando la bestialita' tribale in casa nostra.
Bisogna svegliarsi prima che sia troppo tardi.
Non siamo nati tutti uguali.
Chi e' di retaggio sidereo non puo' considerare propri simili
i discendenti dei primati, ne' deve essere forzato a convivere
con loro. Punto.

Tu in effetti sei venuto male.
