In this episode Vol will discuss The Asogwe Rite in Haitian Vodou: Authority, Lineage, and the Paradox of Initiation Outside Ancestral Transmission. Ankhafi in addition will add some precision on the fact that Haitian Vodou is not merely a collection of ceremonies, invocations, or ritual objects; it is an ancestral spiritual system rooted in memory, family, land, obligation, and transmission. Its authority has historically emerged through lineage, apprenticeship, embodied knowledge, and reciprocal relationships among the living, the ancestors, and the lwa.
