This talk is an introduction for the upcoming class The Real World of Voodoo, Vodou, and African Traditional Religions, with Author and Priestess Lilith Dorsey MFA; more here
The world of voodoo is a universe populated with sacred gods, spirit possessions, and natural grace. Despite media portrayals of zombies, dolls, and wild abandon, the religion is actually a complex system of nature-inspired belief. With the origins of Voodoo, Vodou, Hoodoo and other African traditional religions dating back to the fourth century BCE, these are some of the oldest spiritual systems on Earth. At their core is a reverence for the ancestors and aligning oneself with their proper path in life to ensure success and joy.
These traditions have often been victim to suppression, persecution, demonization, and misinformation. It's high time to change that. This lecture—by author, priestess and filmmaker Lilith Dorsey—will delve into important subjects such as initiation, syncretism, appropriation vs. appreciation, and respectful etiquette. It will answer all your questions, and introduce you to the Loa, Orisha, and other sacred entities of fire, love, lightning, and more.
Lilith Dorsey M.F.A., hails from many magickal traditions. Their traditional education focused on Plant Science, Anthropology, and Film at the URI, NYU, and University of London, and their magickal training includes numerous initiations in Lucumi, Haitian Vodoun, and New Orleans Voodoo. Lilith Dorsey is also a Voodoo Priestess and has been doing magick since 1991 for patrons, filmmaker of the documentary Bodies of Water: Voodoo Identity and Tranceformation,’ and choreographer/performer for Dr. John’s “Night Tripper” Voodoo Show. They are proud to be a published Black author of several titles including Voodoo and Afro-Caribbean Paganism, Orishas, Goddesses and Voodoo Queens, Water Magic and the newly released Tarot Every Witch Way.
