Sanse Vodou
Sanse Tradition
A service to the Sanse spiritsSanse Espiritismo Vodou - Watch Us Rise
In
Sanse, the priestess or priest makes connections with a pantheon of
spirits. These spirits are evolved. They help people progress in life.
Sanse is a preservation of the Taino people’s ancient Shaman practices
mixed with Spanish Saints, Brujeria, Curanderismo, Spiritism from
France, and 21 Divisions which is Dominican Vodou.
The
rich culture of Sanse strives to balance the universal energies of light
and dark. As healers and brujas, a sansita is a visionary for the
light. Sanse spiritualism is centered around non conservative catholic
beleafes. In my opinion, this was a good way to keep alive pagan earth
traditions in a changing world.
I am a
Sanse Vodou priestess working within the International Vodou Society.
This society is run by Brujo Inca who is the world’s leading Sanse
priest, head of the International Vodou Society, and carries in his
bloodline the origination of Sanse Vodou. As a family member of this
temple, I am given the true and real teachings of this art. In honor of
the teaching Houngon Hector has passed down, I feel it is my duty to
carry this beautiful tradition forward, as it is closely related to the
very special work I have channeled.
My work
is to teach people how to create their own path. If Sanse is the right
path for you, after the Creative Arts Mysteries, I am proud to offer
this as a spiritual path that follows.
Here is a list of terms which apply to this tradition
Shaman
A shaman is similar to a curandero in which they play a role as healer and spiritual leader in their community.
Taino
Had its
origins among the Arawak tribes of the Orinoco Delta, gradually spread
from Venezuela across the Antilles in waves of voyaging and settlement
begun around 400 B.C. Mingling with people already established in the
Caribbean, they developed self-sufficient communities on the island of
Hispaniola, in what is now Haiti and the Dominican Republic; in Jamaica
and eastern Cuba; in Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and the Bahamas.
Brujas
Caribbean
Brujas combine Catholic ritual and beliefs with 21 Divisions Vodou, and
Espiritismo. This group includes priestesses and priests. With the use
of folk magic and witchcraft they perform a range of services. With the
large immigration into North American, brujería has naturally gone there
as well. The brujas of America are either traditionalists, combine
brujería with Vodou, or have reconstructed a modern style.
Curandero
A
curandero is most typically found in Mexican American and or Mexican
folk healing. They are the spiritual and healing leaders in their
respective communities.
Spiritism
Known
as Espiritismo in Spanish, is the belief in the power and ability of
spirits to affect human life. This type of spiritualism is practiced by
many Caribbean peoples, as well as citizens of Latin America.
Practitioners believe that both good and evil spirits exist, and that
both types of supernatural beings are able to affect the health and luck
of human beings at will.
Vodou
Originated
in the French slave colony of Saint-Domingue in the 18th century, when
African religious practice was actively suppressed, and enslaved
Africans were forced to convert to Christianity. Religious practices of
contemporary Vodou are descended from, and closely related to, West
African Vodun as practiced by the Fonand Ewe. Vodou also incorporates
elements and symbolism from other African peoples including
the Yorùbá and Bakongo; as well as Taíno religious beliefs, and European
spirituality including Roman Catholic Christianity,
European mysticism, Freemasonry, and other influences.
Yerbero
A
yerbero is person who is a specialist in herbs and plants. This person
is highly knowledgeable of the uses and remedies that different herbs
and plants can offer to patients in need of treatment. They are commonly
associated with pharmacist in the western tradition.
Partera
A
partera is basically a midwife. She deals with pregnant women and is
their primary source of guidance, caretaking, advice, and eventual
