Olá friends!

I live in Brazil, I am initiated in the cult to voduns, it has 14
years, I have as vodum Abe Ahenuvi, I belong rama of the Mahi. We
find here a great diversity of voduns of ramas different, as Mine,
Savalu, Mahi, for this reason the confusion is great. It would like
to know as the cult if it processes outside of Brazil. Who voduns is
these that we cultuamos here? It would like to know as if it
processes the cult happened of the Benin, of people fon, not as he
is cultuado in Haiti, therefore voduns has the names there
completely different of the origin. I go to place below as we see
and we cultuamos here:

Mawu is the supreme being of the Ewe/Fon peoples, creator of world,
of the beings livings creature and the deities. Mawu (feminine) and
Lissá (masculine) they form the double deity of Mawu-Lissá whose
Voduns is descending children and of both.

The Ancestral Ones:

Thohossu; Davice; Azaka (would be a Oshosi? )

Divinizados Ancestor:

Akututós

The Panteão Djeje numerous and is grouped in families as:

Davice; Dambirá; Savaluno and Heviosso

Main the Voduns is:

Loko; Gu; Heviossô; Sakpatá; Dan; Agbê; Ágüé, Ayizan; It waters
down; Agassu; Legba and Fa.

The agupamentos in main family doVodun:

a) Aye-vodun (gentleman of the land)

Sakpatá; Dan; Danguebé; Ayizan

b) Ji vodun (voduns of the high one commanded by So/filhos of the
fire)

Heviossô children sogbo, aklobe and averekete,

c) To-vodun (voduns proper of a locality)

Agbe, Leba, Fa, Gu and Aguê

d) Henu-vodun (cultuados by clans that they are considered its
decendentes)

e) Ako-vodum (ancestral divinizados)

Toxwyo, Agasu, Zomadonu (land), Otolu, Naê(água), Doçupé(fogo),
Arronovissavá (air), Gu. Legba

f) Goro-Vodun (voduns more current cultuados in Hunger)

Kokun (mysterious and violent forces)

We could then conclude that the Djeje and cult family represented
for its symbols and Myths, where they appear the panther (Adjahuto),
the leopard, the snake, etc..

It would be of where would come then itans??????????

Perhaps we could adds ai the elements as: water, the fire, air, the
land etc... through voduns Lissá (air); Navezuarina (water candy),
Abê (salty water) etc...

Then where we find Fá (vodun of the knowledge) ??????

E you give of where comes the ODUS??????

Then we start to debate AYZAN

Old, very originary Vodun of Allada, second they say led for there
for Adjahunto, when it arrived of Tado, being that others they
affirm that ayizan already met for there and that it represented the
mat of land, the crust of the terrestrial one.

They say that it is found in the market of great cities as Abomey
and Ouidah being the guard or gentleman of the market, protector of
the city, the owner of the land.

It would like then to know as the gentlemen understand everything
this. How it is the process in the Benin?


Since already I am thankful

How It prepares Vodun blesses to all!
