Haitian vodou is a vibrant and fascinating indigenous tradition from the island of Haiti. It is an amazing and colorful spiritual tradition comprised of ceremony, music, dances, prayers, magic, and community.

Haitian Vodou by Monique Joiner Siedlak explores this rich Haitian tradition beginning with a look at Haitian history and how the tradition known as Haitian vodou evolved. She then moves on to cover the basic principles and ethics of Haitian vodou. Her fascinating work also includes a discussion of common confusions and controversies associated with Haitian vodou as well as a discussion of Haitian vodou today.

Informative and Interesting

I overall enjoyed this book. However, there is quite a bit of information to unpack and in my opinion, I wish I had read a hardbound version with photo or drawing references to accompany the words. It’s easy to get lost in much of the dense and detailed descriptions. This book does make me more interested in learning about Vodou and Haitian culture, in general.
