Is there a basic way to practice Vodoun,like you might practice wicca?
Though on the surface, it might appear that “Wicca” and African Traditional Religions are similar, however, they actually have very little in common. As far as PRACTICE, one can always pray to ones Ancestors, and as a senteura (non-initiate) similar to the role of a church congregate, participate in community ceremonies officiated by Vodoun Priest/ess, however to partake of any *consecrated* rituals of calling on and honoring the gods, healing, initiation, divination, etc., one must be correctly initiated by legitimate clergy of the Vodoun. There is also NO SELF-INITIATION in any of the African Traditional Religions, and that includes Vodou.
