Voodoo Festival in Saut d'Eau, Haiti. A teenager goes into a trance possessed by a spirit by the stream of water falling from the waterfall in the middle of the crowd. The Vodou is the official name of religion in Creole in Haiti. A woman goes into a trance. In order to contact the loas and thus achieve the ritual to achieve its objectives, it must go through a phase of trance. During that period, the ti bon ange (lower soul) leaves the body, and with it the thoughts and emotions takes, so make room for the loa. A Bokor is able to enter trance by their own means, but hounsi (started) or an uninitiated person need of powerful external stimuli (such as intense and prolonged pain, sexual stimulation or strong) to achieve reach this state. Many people do not succeed the first few times, but when they persist they discover that it's really not that complicated. In voodoo Congo, there are different ceremonies to achieve various objectives. These objectives include: contact a spirit or a god; help of some kind; heal or heal someone; and acts of black magic (dolls, zombification, transplantation of bodies, etc.). In all rituals Congo, the Nkisi demands something in return, a sacrifice by the petitioner to demonstrate their dedication, commitment and loyalty. The sacrifice may be material (food, money, gold ...), physical (sex, pain, blood ...) or mental / spiritual (initiation, commitment, priesthood ...). Congo Voodoo always work, but not everyone is willing to offer such sacrifices
