Tribal Vodoun

From deep inside the islands

comes a religious belief of magical fate.

Necromantic tribes of the secret societies

Conducting ceremonies of the Vodoun faith

Revenge in store for enemies they hate

Soon a one awaiting to arise

Doomed to the try a malevolent flues

Carnival of chaos

Symbolic designs

carved in the earth to beckon 'LEGBA'

(Rites of the Petro)

Reflections of rage and violence

Thundering drums echo unforgiving

Tribal chants grow louder

Dancers travel through the fire

Deity of fire 'OGU'

Protects skin from the flames

Divine horsemen arrive

mounting the initiation of possession

Tearing glass / utter pandemonium

spirits indulge in burning torches

Singing dancers wake to reality

Vodoun - cannot be abstracted from the

day to day life - of the Believer

All is whole - no separation between material and spiritual

The Boko concocts the powder with the poisonous

Datura sprinkled upon the gateway of this victim

Body racked with terrible convulsions -

Mucus flowered from the nose and mouth shaking horrible

The edge of consciousness criteria of Poisson

Lethargic coma

Indistinguishable from death

Comatose

Mortality arrive / pronounced physically dead

Halts driven into the coffin buried

Prematurely

Mind sleeps / disoriented complete

Amnesia

Three days tormented incarnation of Evil

Baron Samed

Guardian on the Cemetery

Preparing the victim of soul for Zombitication

The fear initiates the victim

Psychologically vulnerable

Powder does not secure

Fate / its the mind

Baron unleashes cadaver

A soul trapped in a vessel

Blood split offering

Resurrection of zombie body without character

Aimlessly wandering through time servant to the Bokor

Le culte Des morts
