Documentary "Voodoo Mysteries. The Power"
Rituals are celebrated daily in the cemeteries of Port-au-Prince. The dead must be well attended to, otherwise they will bother you instead of helping you. We attend a mass with Filo Pascal that is being held for a dead relative before Baron Sammedi. He is offered food and rum, which at the end will be shared out among the poor people who come to the cementeries because of this.
A year and a day after the death, the family members must release the soul of the deceased, which has been living up until now in the water. They must carry out a very expensive ceremony in which an ox is sacrificed. If they delay it for a long time, the deceased may rise up against them.
In the traditional voodoo law, the maximum penalty is zombification and not death. The HOUNGANS that have passed sentence, will appoint an executioner who will blow the zombie powder in such a way that the criminal will inhale it without realising. Shortly afterwards, he will die, without anyone knowing why and he will be buried. Some time later he will be exhumed, an antidote will be applied and they will steal his soul. He will obey the HOUNGANS and will work for the rest of his life for them.
But those who work the "DÉ MÉ" may also use these sinister techniques for revenge. For this reason, there are some people who poison their dead before burying them, because they could have been victims of a Boko and be turned into zombies. The most important secret societies were born a long time ago and were the real spiritual support for the uprising of the slaves. Their ceremonies, like this one of bossu, are more violent because they call upon the lua petro originally from Haiti.
