Hope the world is better place 2090? stay safe and be nice human🇬🇭💙

If you don’t know where you are coming from, you will never know where to go. Just know yourself. Thanks Wode Maya for this new report on our Culture.

The European tell us that everything about us is evil . Yet they Don't tell us about the evil they've done to us🇯🇲❤

As a togolese and a proud one, i can testify this is the root ... 🇹🇬❤️ We grew up to this and we'll never be scared of it ...

Wode Maya you will never lose me as a subscriber no matter what you do. Weda festival in Benin let me tell you brazil, Cuba,Haiti, evensouth America practice it the the slaves have also migrated and followed the same cutlure. JuJu is everywhere not just west Africa... Congo, Mali,South Africa even the islam some sects have a form called Sufism. You just touching the surface. Love you and always will. I am my brother's keeper.

This is so interesting! The more you travel, the more you learn! 🤯

I am African from the southern region and I never heard about it , but then I came to Brazil I found it. We know very little about our own history. Thanks for sharing, it's good to learn new ways of spirituality.

Wide Maya is growing right before our eyes because of all the experiences he’s having in his travels. Thank you for sharing your journey with us! 🇺🇸🇿🇦🇯🇲🇻🇮🇳🇬🇬🇭🇧🇯🇹🇹🇹🇬🇨🇦🇨🇮

I like your coverage about Africa. You are well grounded in your own religious beliefs but do not shy away from letting us know what others in Africa believe in. You once covered Islamic fasting season, Christian celebration event in Ethiopia and A traditional religion in Zimbabwe. I have my own beliefs but am here to be educated.

Time to change our mindset African people and embrace what's ours. We have allowed Whites to determine our religion, culture, and language.

African culture is very powerful. In my tribe kisiis in Kenya, special people in the community used to gather around a huge tree facing the mountain and rain came during a prolonged drought. The sick got healed. The white man came with a bible and a government, we lost our culture. They told us that our culture was evil and theirs was holy. Look at us now, global warming, incurable diseases, war, homosexuality, corruption and hard economic times.

To the person reading this!! Be proud you were born as an African 🙌 Africa is the place to be💪 Together we can make it a better place #Unitedafrica♥️💕

We have to sell the tourists a watered down version. Especially those who come to see to learn and dissect, not to appreciate or respect.

I think Europeans have always and continue to try and permeate what is not for them at all times. Their presence brings down the authenticity- but Voodoo is forever stronger than them. I want to attend this festival at least once , but as a member of the diaspora, I’d rather go to Benin to experience Voodoo away from culture vultures and tourists. Thank you for this exploration, and I am a new subscriber BECAUSE of it! Blessings! 🙏🏾

Thank you for highlighting traditional African spirituality on your platform. It makes me so sad that Africans across the globe have been made to fear who we are at our core. The oppressors really did a number on us, but we are waking up. Keep going brotha! ✊🏿❤🖤💚

Despite the atrocities, the culture survives!!!!!

This is what was used to fight against the colonizers in many Caribbean countries. The reason they call it evils is because it is powerful when the people use it as a united force, so they had to prevent that use. It is a powerful mental and manifesting belief to be able to manipulate the elements within and out of yourself, and in nature.

Wonderful to see the people recognizing you wherever you go, keep us informed and entertain Maya, ❤️ it Brother Man Big up. 👍🏿

Most cultures have a spiritual belief system, if you check all based on mysticism, however none of them is vilified as the one from Africa, but when you see how the others worship it is all basically the same, but the one practice in Africa is so powerful that it had to banished and seen as evil, this was supposed to be a weapon for protection against your enemy in case of war, but not to be used for self gain. This is supposed to garner the elements, use your mental energy etc, all primitive cultures have or had that ability

A lot of Africans are afraid of this side of their culture because of their bad deeds. In the villages that practice these voodos, people hardly commit crime because they know what could happen to them. A lot of us are hiding behind religion and are committing various sins because we get away with it. We all need to open our eyes and start asking questions.

Wode Maya and Tayo Aina Kings and Gods of Africaaaa. Loveee you guys ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽 we must wake up and UNITE because Africa is the future. Goosebumps.❤

it's our culture, it's African. We should be proud of that. Those who told us that it was demonic, they are the same ones who want to have this knowledge at all costs. May this push each of us to go further in our thinking.

Thank you Woda Maya for educating the World about our culture. Afrika to the World 🌎 ❤!!! Proud to be an afrikan.

You are not lossing subscribers , you are educated us ...Thank you

Wow, once a year in Jamaica we have Johnkonuu. Same thing on a smaller scale. Men on stilts, people in costumes. Dancing and revelry all day. The culture carried.

One year I attended a Oshun festival here in America. The women who did my alterations was from Nigeria. I walked in her shop and couldn’t believe my eyes! There she was dressed traditionally but watching Joel Olsteen a christian prosperity preacher. I didn’t say anything about it, I just laughed in my mind. Oh Colonization is some evil powerful witchcraft What’s the spell? Christianity ghost spell

Thank you maya for showing us this, africa is indeed rich with beautiful cultures. This is so amazing 👏

I love the beat from the African Drums...This is such a rich culture that must be protected. It's what keep them as a people United and one.

MAYA - ON THE CONTRARY- YOU WILL GET MORE SUBSCRIBER'S - KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

Our roots, our heritage, our culture. We have a duty to understand what voodoo means and cherish it.

I love us Africans embracing our spirituality, culture, religions and traditions❤️

WE MUST DECOLONIZE OUR MIND

WODE MAYA thank you for this video. I was born a Christian but I have now come to realise it is not my ancestors religion but VOODOO is. So I am educating myself trough your video today. Thank you thank you 😊 🙏🏾💚

I am a pastor , i am here to support you and also to understand this religion/culture. I may not agree with what they do but i am here to learn .

Vodoo is mainly from the ewe tribe in ghana volta, Togo , Benin and Nigeria badagry.

Africa is blessed with authentic culture n history

Narrating the African story and telling Africa’s history to the world 🌍. The world is a global village and in this light we see the emergence of people from different walks of life to partake in festivals and experience cultures of Africa. We will be here to always learn from Wode Maya.

Maya I was born in Jamaica 🇯🇲 and Voodoo is not viewed as a good thing here. However, when someone is desperate for “help” for a family member or friends, visiting a voodoo person seems to be more common even if they are considered to be Christians. Some may not want to admit it. I can only guess there is good and bad voodoo and people are desperate when the church cannot assist. We use to have really good spiritual leaders and churches in Jamaica such as Pocco churches, who will be the help the community need, but that too became washed up and decreased in right spiritual connection. Everyone have to find their way because everything we thought was good is now bad and everything we thought was bad is now good. We all have to pray for wisdom and understanding and test the spirit. Be Bless. I love what you do.. 🙏🇯🇲🥰🥰

You should visit Oyo State in Nigeria especially Ibadan around June That's when we have egungun festival

Woow I was shocked to see a person from North Sudan celebrities voodoo festivals

Thank you so much for sharing this with us Maya. I feel this video was too short. I hope there’s part 2.

I can’t wait til you visit haiti 🇭🇹 you’ll love it so much history

Heavenly Father, I pray that you keep anybody reading this alive,safe,healthy and financially Blessed Amen 🙏🙏

Wode Maya to the all Africa I am from The northern part of Ghana Tamale n I always watch ur videos 🙏🙏🙏💯❤❤

I agree with you. All those tourist, especially the European ones, raised a bit of suspicion in me.

I’m so proud to say I’m a Benin precisely Ouidah… and I’m in Benin right now ❤

If our region and believes that makes us still have our lands and identity or dignity then we are most happy 💪🏾👌🏾💪🏾💪🏾👌🏾💪🏾👌🏾

Vodun means Spirit. A Nature based Spirituality. Vodun has been Practied by our Ancestors for Thousands of Years just like all other diverse Indigenous Afrikan Spiritualities before Man-Made Colonizer religion was invented and Violently Foreced, via Slavery. Vodun has also Freed many of our Ancestors during the earliest days of the Maafa. Long Live Afrikan Spirituality ❤🖤💚 ✊🏾🌌🌠☀🌕🌳🌴🌺🛖.

I really enjoyed your meeting with the South Sudanese woman, it was so good, she admires you a lot like we all do. Thank you for your work

I want to remind every African as said by Burna’s mother ; ‘ we were Africans before we became any other thing ‘.

Always doing a great job keep it up the good work, that’s who we are nothing will stop it. My dear brother weather you will loose 2000 or 5000 do your best to promote who we are, and i know our ancestors will never disappoint you of get more people more than the one you lost. #JMTVGH

This video should be voted a video of the year if not a decade 🤠

Wode Maya is an embodiment of anthropology. He participates and observes every detail in real time with validity.

Thanks for sharing. I am from Trinidad 🇹🇹. We call our Practice Orisa. A lot of ppl say we “wok obeah”. I could careless, I love my way of life. Olodumare blessings.

Very educative as always. The insights provided are very much appreciated. Thanks for going the extra mile to bring us this. You are indeed changing the narratives. Never knew people travel from the diaspora for the festival. Never knew this festival even existed. Thanks Legend for this insightful video. You are paying your dues to mother Africa.

Africa will progress and african will lead a Confident and respectful life if they leave Colonial abrahamic religions like Christianity and islam. Africans should preserve, protect and improve their own culture, language like the Indians Did.

I'm Luo from Kenya, Lake Victoria (Nam Lolwe). We do encounter pythons and treat them well, feed them. They have special significance. The particular one called "Omieri" appears occasionally and we treat it well,feed, take care. So I identify with these.

Thank you Wode Maya!!! I seen Tayo Aina video and it was amazing! My husband and I were waiting for your video 🙌🏽 I live in Georgia in USA and love seeing my culture! Love how powerful we are as Africans and so glad you can help me see what is not represented in USA.

It's about time we value what we have as Africans, big ups Maya.

I am a proud and unapologetic Vodou devotee living in Jamaica and in this island obeah and Vodou is condemned and seen as evil and wicked. It pains my heart to see caucasians running down Vodou knowledge and wisdom while so many Afrakan and Afrakan Caribbean people condemn their own heritage and culture. I will always honor and cherish my heritage and i pray that one day Vodou will be acknowledged as the birthright inheritance of Afrakans around the world. Ayibobo.

@wodemaya If you ever visit Suriname, request to be taken to the Dujka(Juka) Settlement!!! You will be surprised that they made every effort to maintain AFRICAN ways!!!!!

It's things like this that make me feel proud to be african, thank you wade maya

My tradition my culture.

Thanks Maya for the video🥰 I'm here to learn

Love our culture,. love the video Maya.. We need to keep our ancestoral integrity intact.. We need to protect our culture and be careful of the culture vultures and the outsiders and the outside agents some which look just like us unfortunately...one of My favorite ancestral lands to visit, benin, can't wait to go back..

Proudly African and we've learn to respect each others believes. 👌👌

Vodoo is not Africa's only religion

Wode Maya is the best of all times content

Haiti in the house 🇭🇹 🇭🇹

Have been looking at this video 📸 all day now happy that you posted this video today it quiet interesting that we will learn alot

Voodoo, Hoodoo, Palo, Juju, none of them are inherently evil especially not just because some people are afraid of them.

its good to see Haiti represented. I have seen a couple of Haitian flags. Ayibobo

AM DEFINATELY GOING TO FILM THE NEXT FESTIVAL. IN THE MEANTIME, LET ME SHARE THIS VIDEO. Much love from South Africa

WE MUST DECONSTRUCTED OUR MIND

It's culture and we have to understand why it is important for this community. We're Africa and Africa is our business 💪🇰🇪

Anybody unsubscribing is brainwashed. Don’t beg them. You have every right to cover any religion you want to cover especially when invited, and all peoples have a right to their religion

maya i would be glad if you show more of these african festivals. Like the Kundum festival,Aboakyir festival etc

Any African who's against his own land's religion is a non living thing

God blessed Dahomey (Benin)! ❤🇭🇹

Everybody is waking up!! Great video!!

Maya, there's nothing evil with our African traditional medicine that is based on nature. Please let us stop using derogatory word to describe our ancestors traditional medicine as 'voodoo'. Haitian and Ethiopian used the African traditional medicine successfully, defeated the French and Italian their colonial powers long time ago. I'm happy that you have the courage to gave us this educational video on African traditional medicine that some of us used to in Yoruba culture, Western Nigeria when we are growing up.There is nothing evil about it.I cherish my African traditional medicine that is based on nature. God bless you and protect you for the amazing work you are doing for Mama Africa.

I must thank you for the education that we would have never known, if we don't travel and experience different Cultures.

AGRICULTURE MUST BE GREAT AGAIN!

Thank you Wode Maya. I'm so pleased that you have shown this video. It's time we remember our African religion and culture. I'm staying right here on your channel FOREVER. Peace xxx

that was some deep research on that tree I see my Haitian sister is curious too

This one will add a million subscribers on this channel. Good piece Maya

Thank you Wode Maya for doing such a great job. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿I’m so proud of my culture❤️

To my Ancestors, I pray that my feet step on the continent one day to visit this beautiful country of Benin and attend the festival. Voodoo is my life! Africa forever!

The amount of mzungus being there makes me suspect that it really is the watered down tourist version. But I understand they can't give out all the secrets. Now for what I know from friends who have gone, they went to the festival and also actual villages outside of the festival who practice under specific deities. It's a completely different experience. People there know those who are genuinely interested in learning and practicing the religion when they meet them.

Bro keep the good work for the Africa community we are proud of you

Thank you for continuing to enlighten us. It's a shame as people of African descent we are so quick to dismiss anything and everything that is ours and we happily latch on to others beliefs. We need to be liberated mentally.

Now after watching this... it is in bucket list 🙏🏿🇰🇪

Wode I suggest you do another video that explores African authentic beliefs in an intimate close-in setting with believers and practitioners not in a festival setting. The survival of the beliefs is very important and in my opinion Africa will never be free when dominated by foreign belief systems with a wicked history against Africans.

Thanks Wode Maya Enjoy watching So glad Africans are no more embarrass to embrace our culture Our culture is part of our identity It is who we are To hate or be embarrass about our identity is to hate or be embarrass about ourselves Voodoo is in my blood It is my heritage I embrace my heritage

Wode, would you consider renaming this video? A better title could be " Is Voodoo Evil or Magical?" Sent with love

OUR SISTER SAID IT ALL....EVERYTHING AFRICAN IS REGARDED AS EVIL BUT LOOK AT THE NUMBER OF MUZUNGUS HERE..

You know the answer to that question. Africa can’t move forward until all this craziness is eliminated.

I took up arms for the freedom of my color. It is our own - we will defend it or perish. --“Toussaint Louverture”

As patriotic African boy from South Sudan, I kept following Wode Maya's videos longtime back thou am not commenting material till today he uploaded this video which means a lot to embrace our rich African cultures. Am so proud of Jamaicans and other African origins who tries all possible means never to miss ancestral memorial festivals.
