Generational curses are often misunderstood and stigmatized, especially when viewed through a Westernized colonial lens. In this episode, we explore how generational curses are understood in Haitian Vodou and how to identify patterns of hardship, illness, and trauma passed down through families. We unpack the spiritual, historical, and psychological layers of these experiences and reveal how Vodou offers pathways for healing, liberation, and reconnection with ancestral power.

Whether you’re a practitioner, curious learner, or someone navigating your own family’s patterns, this conversation will deepen your understanding of generational curses from a Haitian Vodou cosmological perspective and its wisdom for generational healing.

In this episode, we journey into the transformative practice of shadow work within Haitian Vodou, a spiritual path that invites us to face, honor, and heal the parts of ourselves we often hide.

Rooted in ancestral wisdom and community care, Vodou cosmology approaches shadow work not as a solitary struggle, but as a sacred process of restoring balance between the seen and unseen, the personal and collective.

In this pre-season episode, we’ll dive into how Haitian Vodou understands the soul’s multiple parts, its relationship to the ancestors, and its role in community, healing, and resistance. Haitian Vodou teaches that the soul is a sacred yet complex union of five parts:

• Ko Kadav: the physical body, vessel for the soul’s journey
• Gwo Bon Anj: the great good angel, your spiritual life force
• Ti Bon Anj: the little good angel, keeper of your personality, memories, and consciousness
• Nanm: the eternal essence that connects you to the ancestors
• Zetwal: your guiding star, destiny, and spiritual blueprint

We explore how the different parts of the soul work together to shape your identity, memory, and life purpose.

Season 2 deepens the exploration of Haitian Vodou through insightful conversations about yourself and the spirits of the faith.

This visionary episode reimagines Haitian Vodou as a global force for liberation, healing, and collective power. Journey with us into a future where ancestral wisdom leads to artistic creativity, technological innovation, and a recognized spiritual practice that fuels resistance.

Haitian Vodou 2.0 breaks colonial myths and emerges as a celebrated world religion rooted in dignity, ecology, and justice for all.

Please tune in and witness the rise of a sacred future where the spirits walk with us toward freedom.

Rooted in ancestral memory and resistance, these affirmations are not mere words; they are portals, invocations, and declarations of alignment with the Lwas who walk with, protect, and empower the faithful.

In this episode, we introduce you to the Vodou pantheons, exploring the sacred families of lwa (spirits) that guide the lives of practitioners across generations. We journey through the distinct nanchons (nations or spiritual lineages) of Vodou: the peaceful and benevolent Rada spirits, often associated with West African origins and ancestral memory; the fierce, the powerful Nago spirits, who embody strength, strategy, and protection; fiery Petwo-Kongo spirits, born of the Haitian land and the struggles of enslavement and liberation; and the ever-present Gede nanchon, guardians of the dead and the afterlife.
