Voodoo ritual in rural Togo

Voodoo is more than a belief system, it is a complete way of life, including culture, philosophy, language, art, dance, music, and medicine. The Voodoo spiritual world consists of Mahou, the supreme being, and about 100 divinities - or Voodoos - who represent different phenomena, such as war and blacksmiths (Gou), illness, healing and earth (Sakpata), storms, lightning, and justice (Heviosso) or water (Mami Wata).
