In Haiti, voodoo is the last link between deported slaves and their multiple origins. It is also the banner of unity and the drums of revolt, where the fervor of struggle prevails over the diversity of origins.
Practicing voodoo is above all about honoring the loas and one's ancestors, and respecting one's culture.
Voodoo funeral rites are extremely coded, dealing with the body to migrate the soul or the journey of the spirit underwater.
Through their richness and complexity, these religious rites do not mark the end of life but transcend its completion. It is a matter of organizing and celebrating the return from exile to the Land of the Ancestors, beyond the seas, where the roots of the mapou vibrate, the resting tree of the loas, whose infinite roots cross the sea.
