West African Vodún

African traditional religion

Vodún, Vodu, or vodunsinsen (Fon: vodúnsínsɛ́n) is an African traditional religion practiced by the Aja, Ewe, and Fon peoples of Benin, Togo, Ghana, and Nigeria. There is no central authority in control of the religion and much diversity exists among practitioners, who are known as vodúnsɛntó or vodúnisants. Vodún teaches the existence of a supreme creator divinity, under whom are lesser spirits called vodúns.
