Dreamland: Vodou!

Vodou is a mix of African religion and Catholicism that is the object of a lot of superstition and fear, but very little real knowledge. It's not often that an expert in the religion and active Vodou practitioner offers to explain things, but that's what happens this week on Dreamland, when Whitley Strieber interviews Vodou practitioner Kenaz Filan.

We are guided by Kenaz Filan, an initiate of the Societe la Belle Venus and the author of the Haitian Vodou Handbook, who explains Vodou ritual and tells us about his experiences with the Vodou lwa, or spirits honored in Haitain practice.

The fact that Dreamland is presenting a program implies nothing about what Whitley Strieber or Unknowncountry.com think or believe about a given subject. We attempt to present even our most controversial shows in such a way that our guests get a chance to explain their beliefs and findings fully and completely.
