In New Orleans, akuyona iMardi Gras kuphela edonsa abahambi kuleli dolobha elijabulisayo. I-Voodoo nayo iyisisekelo semboni yezokuvakasha yedolobha. Futhi Izikhumbuzo ze-voodoo balethe imali eningi yedolobha.
Kodwa, ngenxa yokuthi useNew Orleans, ungacabangi ukuthi unodoli we-voodoo kaDonald Trump omthengile uzomthinta ngempela umholi waseMelika, ngokudelela.
e iqiniso lokuthi izandla zakhe zincane ngokunembile futhi izinwele zakhe ziwolintshi ngokwedlulele (isithombe sereferensi).
Futhi lawo makhadi okubhula aphenyisiwe kulelo gumbi eliyimfihlakalo futhi wachazwa ngowesifazane obukeka engaqondakali cishe awazange ahunyushwe umfundisi we-voodoo wangempela.
Ubuwazi ukuthi i-voodoo iwukholo lwangempela? Kungumkhuba ohlanganisa izinkolo zaseNtshonalanga Afrika kanye nenganekwane eyalethwa yizigqila kanye namasiko aboMdabu baseMelika kanye nengokomoya, futhi inobuKristu obuthile nezinye izinkolelo ezixutshwe kukho.
I-Voodoo isiko elidluliselwa ngomlomo elingenawo umbhalo oyinhloko ongcwele, incwadi yomthandazo, noma isethi yemikhuba nezinkolelo. Inkolo isebenzisa ingcebo yemikhuba nemibono ethinta ukuphila kwabalandeli kwansuku zonke. Ngezindlela eziningi, kuyinkolo yomuntu siqu. Abalandeli kuthiwa banokuhlangenwe nakho okuqondile kwemimoya, futhi lokhu okuhlangenwe nakho kungahluka kakhulu ezindaweni ngezindawo kanye nomuntu nomuntu.
Kunezindawo zangempela ze-voodoo ongazivakashela eNew Orleans. Abavakashi bayakhuthazwa ukuthi bavakashele izindawo ezifana neThe Voodoo Spiritual Temple. Leli thempeli lasungulwa ngo-1990 nguMphristi uMiriam Chamani nomyeni wakhe uPristi u-Oswan Chamani. Iwukuphela kweThempeli Lokomoya elisungulwe “ngokusemthethweni” eligxile emikhubeni yendabuko yaseNtshonalanga Afrika yokwelapha ngokomoya nangokwemithi ekhona njengamanje eNew Orleans.
Ohlangothini olushaqisayo, kukhona owesifazane owaye (futhi namanje) owaziwa ngokuthi yiNdlovukazi yaseVoodoo yaseNew Orleans - uMarie Laveaux. Ungcwatshwe emathuneni ase-St. Louis okuthiwa yiwona agcwele abantu abaningi eMelika. Izivakashi eziningi zithi zibone isipoki sakhe futhi zamuzwa ehleba ngesiqalekiso kunoma yibaphi abagebengu bamathuna abangenanhlonipho. Emathuneni akhe, abantu bashiya iminikelo enjengamakhandlela, izimbali, yebo, onodoli be-voodoo, benethemba lokuthi uzobenza lokho abakufisayo. Uma enze njalo, obusisiwe uzobuya azomaka ithuna lakhe ngamamaki angu-3 X ukukhombisa ukubonga kwakhe.
Nokho, ungalenzi iphutha. Umlando kaMarie Laveaux nomyeni wakhe, uCharles, ungokoqobo futhi uqashelwa ngokusemthethweni. UMnyango Wezangaphakathi wase-United States waqamba i-1801 Dauphine Street - ikhaya likaMarie noCharles Laveaux - kuRejista Kazwelonke Yezindawo Zomlando.
