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 to die awaiting to arise
Doomed to die by a malevolent curse 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 throughout 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 Displacement to the ground Spinning 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 Bokor concocts the powder with the poisonous Datura sprinkled upon the gateway of his victim Body racked with terrible convulsions - Mucus flowered from the nose and mouth shaking horrible
The edge of consciousness criteria of poison Lethargic coma Indistinguishable from death
Comatose Mentally alive / pronounced physically dead Nails driven into the coffin buried prematurely Mind slips / disoriented / complete amnesia Three days fermented incarnation of Evil
Baron SAMEDI Guardian of the cemetery Preparing the victim's soul for Zombification
