Vodou, also spelled Voodoo, Voudou, Vodun, or the French Vaudou is a worldview encompassing philosophy, medicine, justice and religion. Its fundamental principle is that everything is spirit.Humans are spirits who inhabit the visible world. The unseen world is populated by Iwa (spirits), mystè (mysteries), anvizib (the invisibles), Zanj (angels) and the spirit of ancestors. All these spirits are believed to exist in a mythic land called Ginen, a cosmic 'Africa.'

This episode is inspired by the idea Vodou.
