An American Vodou House
altar1 HOme page02 homepage01 homepage03 assons

Vodou as practiced here in the USA is not so different from it’s Haitian counterpart. We are the new face of Vodou today, and yet we reflect the old values of Vodou - family, community, commitment to the work of being servitors of spirit. We are European, Haitian, Latino and Native American. We did not choose this path - the Lwa chose us. We are people from all walks of life, looking for answers about life. Within the teaching of Vodou we have found them. We are Sosyete du Marche, Inc., an American Vodou house and a 501c3 public charity. Welcome to our cyber lakou. Our work as priests is all about Spirit. Ayibobo.
