3
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:43,960
She will not die now because she is 85 years old,
I give her another 20 years of life.
4
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:51,560
Her, she gave me the maternal initiation,
otherwise I can not go back to the Mamiwata convents.
5
00:02:52,759 --> 00:02:54,560
Where's we going to see her?
6
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,560
- At her home in Cotonou.
- Oh yes, and when will we go?
7
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,719
I'll see with her now ...
8
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:02,199
She's here now?
9
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,439
Yes, she gave me the informations.
10
00:07:33,519 --> 00:07:41,920
But at home, there is not a sort of hierarchy where you can tell there are ten,
twenty very high priests or voodoo priestesses?
11
00:07:42,279 --> 00:07:44,160
They are known, here are the names.
12
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:45,199
No.
13
00:07:45,439 --> 00:07:53,040
Because they had told me thinks about it in Ouidah, the day of the party,
he had spoken about fifteen, the greatest were gathered there.
14
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,319
It's impossible, it's a politicized thing.
15
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:57,279
Yes, all right.
16
00:07:58,399 --> 00:08:02,240
It's a politicized thing ... maybe they'll tell you there's the office ...
17
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:07,079
here is the office, so for them, these are the important people.
18
00:10:53,399 --> 00:10:55,799
This is Ogou's voodoo, he gives happiness.
19
00:10:55,799 --> 00:10:59,080
You do the prayer, you make a promise, it is realized.
20
00:10:59,279 --> 00:11:06,679
You want to get married, it's a problem,
you're looking for a job, you come to pray and it's OK.
21
00:11:36,919 --> 00:11:39,919
- White man ?!
- Get out kids!
22
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:32,399
It should be put here ... No? Not touch?
23
00:12:46,519 --> 00:12:49,440
Come and see how beautiful your voodoo is... there you go.
24
00:12:54,639 --> 00:12:55,960
Nice work.
25
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,679
You tried! Good job. Good job.
26
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:01,960
Yes, that's fine like that.
27
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:31,000
Sakpata, he represents the earth, Sakpata, voodoo Sakpata.
28
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,840
There is lot of depth of field, we will have a lot of sharpness everywhere.
29
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,879
We see better than what we see with the eye!
30
00:15:08,399 --> 00:15:12,440
All that he did about the kings of Burkina.
Today the kings of Burkina benefit from it,
31
00:15:12,559 --> 00:15:14,559
it's not him who benefits, it's not me who benefits.
32
00:15:15,279 --> 00:15:20,000
Everyone knows the kings of Burkina and people take
planes to thousands of francs to visit them.
33
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:25,799
None of our children know who Vaudounon is, what the voodoo does,
What is voodoo? Nobody knows.
34
00:15:25,879 --> 00:15:30,440
You have to see the inside too, the voodoo of
the person goes with the portrait of you.
35
00:15:35,639 --> 00:15:38,200
Please look precisely here.
36
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,240
They must be accompanied!
37
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:10,240
We have many voodoo in this house.
There are ghosts and the voodoo called Sakpata.
38
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:15,080
It is the lady there, the god of the earth, she represents it.
39
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:23,159
Yes, she represents the god of the earth.
I represent what is called Tohossou.
40
00:16:24,519 --> 00:16:33,720
Tohossou and Dan, it's in the other convent there and also
the ghosts, those of our family, that's it.
41
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:35,759
Must we remove?
42
00:16:36,639 --> 00:16:39,799
Go! Everyone, you have to remove, go!
43
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:47,159
Voodoo is not Satan, it does good, it does good at home,
44
00:16:47,279 --> 00:16:51,360
if you are near voodoo you should not do bad things, otherwise voodoo kills you.
45
00:16:51,559 --> 00:16:55,679
Be careful, do not get confused between Satan and fetish, no.
46
00:16:55,799 --> 00:17:02,759
We say we make traditional plants.
Traditional plants do not mean voodoo, neither quack, be careful,
47
00:17:02,879 --> 00:17:08,200
because one can be a herbalist without knowing voodoo, one must not mix.
48
00:17:08,599 --> 00:17:17,880
Here is where we call them, our grandparents who left, our grandfather,
big brother, the whole family, it's their fetish here.
49
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:30,759
Tohossou here, is my sister, my dead brothers
who have become fetish and we have to put it there huh.
50
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:35,599
That's what is there.
51
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,119
They are told to do good and they do it.
52
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:25,240
The Voodoo are not at all fixed, either in a public place,
in the temple, not at all, all these are acquisitions.
53
00:18:25,799 --> 00:18:35,640
Before the voodoo was in the forest, in the bush, and we had to bring it
in a house, it's a step that brought him to a house,
54
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:49,000
so much so that every voodoo today has a house and at the same time a pen,
a convent precisely, to train, for the initiation thus of the Vaudousis.
55
00:18:49,319 --> 00:19:01,200
It is the trance that manifests that the person is possessed by voodoo,
now it's a trance that's also controlled.
56
00:19:01,519 --> 00:19:10,920
That is to say that there are phases that precisely the Vaudounon, surrounded by
his drummers and others, can come to terms.
57
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:22,200
So the definition of voodoo is of course a natural element
but who is not in wandering, who is already controlled.
58
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:35,400
This means that there are also secrets to control, because
if the guy is in trance, we can not ... control ... that's wrong.
59
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:41,480
So it was wanted that there is a secret and the secret is protective.
60
00:19:41,599 --> 00:19:53,000
The problem that voodoo poses today is precisely the idea that spirits
can directly intervene in people's lives.
61
00:19:54,079 --> 00:20:05,920
So a lot of research claims that sooner or later these cults will wither away
compared to the shock of ideas, compared to the modern world.
62
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:17,519
but the resistance, the liveliness of this cult is very very surprising compared
to the evolutionist-type predictions that make them disappear.
63
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:23,480
So we have to take into account their presence on the stage.
64
00:20:23,519 --> 00:20:28,279
Voodoo you know its main food is sacrificial blood.
65
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:42,160
And this sacrificial blood in people's mind is all the stronger,
all the more efficient if it is first about poultry,
66
00:20:42,279 --> 00:20:50,559
after the fowl we come to the goat, all that is ram,
all that is goat and all that,
67
00:20:50,759 --> 00:21:01,680
and then there are also some great deities here in Ouidah,
who only receive cattle, an ox, so it's already considerable.
68
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:12,079
All the more so, for the people here, the summit,
in fact, spilled blood is human blood.
69
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:21,319
And even in voodoo as it is now there is a pact of blood
which also binds Vaudousis to voodoo.
70
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:33,599
Whose traces can be seen in the form of scarifications,
so this blood, is it not, is obviously the strongest of bloods.
71
00:21:33,759 --> 00:21:48,400
There is sorcery as it can be perceived from the outside
and sorcery as it can be seen from within.
72
00:21:49,200 --> 00:22:03,799
From inside I know many people who are reputation therapists,
we can take them seriously because they are both academic,
73
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:14,119
they continue their search, which tells me that via sorcery there is
also the possibility, for example, to transform a sick heart,
74
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:26,640
to give them a new heart, through substitution processes. It can be funny, but
those of whom I speak and whom I observe as a scientist obtain results.
75
00:22:26,759 --> 00:22:34,240
I do not see why I would advise against them by saying beforehand that it's
totally bluffing.
76
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:50,759
Voodoo today represents not so much a cult of worship as anything indirectly
available for therapy, for healing people.
77
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:58,720
Many people depend on virtue
leaves and depend on the secrets of their mixture and others,
78
00:22:58,799 --> 00:23:04,480
given the coverage rate, the care that one can receive in a hospital.
79
00:25:02,079 --> 00:25:07,000
Yes, that's right, I often come to this house for my child.
80
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:18,279
It was not to me that the child was entrusted,
this child was entrusted to you.
81
00:25:18,519 --> 00:25:22,880
Papa Kounde, do what you have to do for him.
82
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:35,759
Toi, tiens bien le coq!
83
00:27:35,839 --> 00:27:37,839
Chacun est destiné à quelque chose.
84
00:27:55,240 --> 00:28:00,599
That's why from time to time I come to offer you water,
made the effort to give us the coolness.
85
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,599
Here are my hands, here are my hands!
86
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:08,279
He says happiness.
87
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:10,880
Will he have longevity and stay with his children for a long time?
88
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,519
Here are my hands, great people.
89
00:28:17,839 --> 00:28:20,160
He said luck.
- Yes it's your chance.
90
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,440
A male a chicken, a male a chicken.
91
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:35,839
Do not overthrow my cult items there!
- Put your foot on the chicken wing.
92
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:37,960
What, I have never sacrificed chicken here?
93
00:28:59,839 --> 00:29:03,640
Put enough, when we eat, we have to notice it.
94
00:29:10,119 --> 00:29:13,640
Should not we give him a little oil at the same time?
95
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:01,039
I will tell him.
96
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:18,319
Chief, how are you?
97
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:28,960
By the way, I've been thinking about something.
98
00:31:29,319 --> 00:31:32,319
- We do Abomey and the other localities and we come back to Cotonou.
- Ok.
99
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:38,119
Then we go back up there... because we have to
take advantage of this opportunity.
100
00:31:38,319 --> 00:31:44,000
It allows us on our return to see the one who was gone at the funeral.
101
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,519
- That's the point.
- That way we combine the two.
102
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:48,440
From there we go all the way back up.
103
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:20,160
It makes me think of Tibet as two drops of water. Hello!
104
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:27,960
They do not want to take away voodoo, we are us behind them.
105
00:33:59,839 --> 00:34:03,519
In fact, it's a fair job on the infrared.
106
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:13,159
I thought it was a set, you'll see my first pictures,
it was a set and in the picture that's like that,
107
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:16,280
the fetish does that, because I took the whole thing together,
108
00:34:16,559 --> 00:34:23,280
and it was only after, slowly I began to see that there was this fetish.
We do not see it right away, but that's the essential of course.
109
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:28,800
I'm sure here that no whites ever go that, that's for sure.
110
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:30,480
That, nobody has seen before.
111
00:34:31,039 --> 00:34:34,599
I tell you a weird story after in the car.
- No here!
112
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:39,559
You know there is a family member who came to steal this voodoo there.
113
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:41,079
That one?
- Yes.
114
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:48,119
He came back and when he wanted to take voodoo,
he stayed like that, voodoo caught him like that.
115
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:53,920
he stayed seven nights and seven days in the room there, without drinking
without eating.
116
00:34:55,239 --> 00:35:02,119
When the voodoo came to do the prayer, he saw it, and there he spoke.
117
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:08,920
He came for seven days to fly but could not move,
but he's dead guy, huh.
118
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:54,599
It's Sakpata, it's him who controls the earth.
119
00:36:00,519 --> 00:36:02,960
No flash to start.
120
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:46,119
That's the « assins » where all the followers of Sakpata voodoo
who stayed at the convent here, who came out after.
121
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:24,159
That's it ... it's the buffo's head, yes, that's it,
and that's it too, it's very dangerous, it's in the bush, that too.
122
00:38:24,559 --> 00:38:35,000
Pig of the bush that's it ... did you see?
There is thunder, thunder that kills people, have you seen? Thunder.
123
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:38,920
Is it good for you?
- Yes.
124
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:45,239
In the convents, there is knowledge to which we do not have access.
125
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:53,320
You have to be initiated from this convent to access this, and that's why
in my work I try to show what is not known,
126
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:58,840
and I show the similarities with mostly ancient Egypt and Greece.
127
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:05,679
Let's talk for example about the goddess Isis if you want,
Isis is named in ancient Egyptian Ase.
128
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:13,039
When in Fon also Ase is the goddess of magic,
whereas Isis is the goddess of ancient Egyptian magic.
129
00:39:13,119 --> 00:39:27,480
When you take the child, for example, from Isis, Horus, or Ho, or Her,
we find all this in Fon, because the word Fon Ho also means hawk,
130
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:35,639
whereas Horus, Ho, Her mean hawk in ancient egyptian greek if you want?
131
00:39:36,599 --> 00:39:40,920
Do you see what I mean?
So we find all these gods among the Egyptians,
132
00:39:41,159 --> 00:39:48,599
therefore it becomes easier to understand
the deities we are dealing with in the voodoo pantheon.
133
00:39:48,679 --> 00:39:59,639
You really need to do a comparative study with the Greek or Egyptian pantheon
to be able to properly apprehend the voodoo pantheon.
134
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:03,880
The word Fon Sè is nothing but the Egyptian word Re,
135
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:11,440
that is to say that there is a slight deformation,
that is, there is a transposition of the sound L to the sound S,
136
00:40:11,599 --> 00:40:25,480
but in fact when one says Rè in Egyptian, it is also said Lè in Egyptian
because the letter R has the same spelling as the L symbol in Egyptian.
137
00:40:25,599 --> 00:40:37,280
Therefore, any word Fon start with R is said L, so that
if we say in Fon Rè, we say Les, which gave birth to the god Legba.
138
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:47,280
If you take other words, for example the Greek word Gigan,
Gigan means giant giant greek, in Fon Gigan also means giant giant.
139
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:50,320
The Egyptian priests had to flee Egypt,
140
00:40:50,440 --> 00:41:01,320
and the different castes, the different pantheons, that is to say the different
followers of the different gods began by migrating all over the world.
141
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:08,480
So there are waves that have gone to Asia,
a wave certainly certainly came to West Africa.
142
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:14,840
So it must be at this time of Tuthmosis III, or the period of Cambyse.
143
00:41:15,119 --> 00:41:22,719
The peoples of southern Benin, southern Togo, Ivory Coast and Nigeria
are certainly migrations from ancient Egypt.
144
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:26,920
It was at the time of Thutmosis III that Montura was elevated
to the rank of supreme god.
145
00:41:27,119 --> 00:41:31,639
From there we go down, we see that there is
a creator couple who has just been born,
146
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:36,920
Lisa Maou, and among the Egyptians it's Chou and Tefnut.
147
00:41:37,039 --> 00:41:44,519
We have a principle that can be understood in many ways.
Each way of apprehending this principle constitutes a voodoo deity.
148
00:41:44,639 --> 00:41:49,960
Here the idea of god is divisible into several aspects,
and every aspect is a god, a deity.
149
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:53,679
So voodoo is a monotheism.
150
00:41:53,880 --> 00:42:00,960
Just take the voodoo cosmogony or voodoo trinity,
we just saw there is Sè Lisa Mawu,
151
00:42:01,079 --> 00:42:11,000
you take the Egyptian cosmogony of which we don’t discuss any more today its
monotheism, there is always Re and also the creative couple Chou and Maat.
152
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:13,000
Do you see?
153
00:42:13,119 --> 00:42:20,039
So this trinity already can tell us that voodoo is also
a monotheistic religion to the extent that later on
154
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:27,039
the religions that we call today monotheists or revealed religions
have taken over this ancient Egyptian trinity
155
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:39,199
and the ancient Egyptian trinity is later worshiped as Osiris Isis and Horus
and we meet all these names also in the language Fon.
156
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:51,920
The god Osiris, it is the god Alli in language Fon because the word O,
all word beginning with the letter O is pronounced A in Fon
157
00:42:57,519 --> 00:42:59,519
Our superb leader!
158
00:43:04,639 --> 00:43:10,440
That's great because we will have simple people like everything
and then we will have in king's clothes,
159
00:43:10,559 --> 00:43:14,039
then it's good to show these different aspects.
160
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:28,920
It's the god of justice, if you do something bad we come to see it,
he takes you, he kills you at the same time.
161
00:43:31,559 --> 00:43:34,320
When there is an accident you must know that it is him.
162
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:44,559
For example outside there, where the fabrics are, the exposure of the fabrics,
people are dead, clothes are on display there.
163
00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:53,800
This is the only fetish that exists like this, Ogou,
even President Kirikou knows that, everyone.
164
00:43:55,559 --> 00:43:57,920
Such a fetish is called Ogou.
165
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:40,840
It will not be in the book, that's it,
because that's the voodoo that everyone sees,
166
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:45,880
it's not going to go compared to others who show the most secret voodoo,
167
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:49,679
it's a shame because it's very good, but I'm sorry, it's not right.
168
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:53,639
I wish you a safe journey.
169
00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:55,719
Thank you very much see you soon.
170
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:01,880
It's not that I refuse at the moment but I'm going to see
how things will evolve first.
171
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:08,199
I told him, if you have to put beside you the voodoo that everyone sees,
it's not worth while you're in the thing.
172
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:18,519
It's a voodoo that nobody sees that can attract people to see you after you ...
but he does not want to understand. He thinks it's a big money story.
173
00:45:19,519 --> 00:45:21,320
But we give no money.
174
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:25,159
If at the start he knew we couldn't come inside,
he shouldn't tell us about it.
175
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:26,199
Yes, indeed.
176
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:30,400
If he knew the camera would not go there, he should not even tell us about it.
177
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:49,360
Sorry, chief.
178
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:57,119
- It's a woman.
- Cool.
179
00:45:57,320 --> 00:46:05,239
But unfortunately she lives in Cotonou, she comes from time to time
for the ceremonies, and there is no one to give me her coordinates.
180
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:07,320
- In Cotonou?
- Yes, there is no one here.
181
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:11,079
And you do not think the old woman will know, or the son?
182
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:12,480
Maybe.
183
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:15,119
- Do you have his name?
- Yes.
184
00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:21,119
It seems that her children live in Cotonou,
they are intellectuals, she sometimes goes there.
185
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:27,079
Hey, the old woman will have a shock when you will announce her
that this one is dead and that one is dead ...
186
00:46:27,199 --> 00:46:29,199
This old woman did not come to Abomey anymore.
187
00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:33,199
- It also means, it's interesting, that they communicate little with each other.
- Yes.
188
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:43,639
- Is he at home?
- Yes it’s there.
189
00:46:59,679 --> 00:47:02,119
- He brings us back to the village.
- Oh yes!
190
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:05,920
This is really the treasure hunt.
191
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:19,519
Okay, he's a youngster, but there is someone else here that we will go to see.
192
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:23,559
We should really try to have women.
193
00:47:31,079 --> 00:47:33,960
Next time you have to plan two days in Abomey.
194
00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:42,199
I show you what he has already done before.
195
00:47:46,199 --> 00:47:48,199
This is his voodoo.
196
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:54,840
We want to photograph the voodoo, not the ones
exposed to large areas visiblent by all but hidden voodoo.
197
00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:57,880
This is his voodoo.
198
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:05,400
Are you his grandson?
199
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:06,639
I am his grandson.
200
00:48:06,719 --> 00:48:08,760
I tell you the truth.
201
00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:17,360
Her, when we went to the president, she was our spokesperson.
202
00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:22,480
This is his voodoo.
203
00:48:26,159 --> 00:48:29,039
What, is voodoo in the bush? Where are you taking us?
204
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:30,920
No, we're going to this side first.
205
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:32,960
Only one of them is photographed.
206
00:48:33,039 --> 00:48:36,880
In this case you will photograph the one inside.
I'm going to get dressed.
207
00:49:00,639 --> 00:49:02,840
Children can not enter.
208
00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:16,599
Voodoo Agbangba.
209
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:31,840
Turn around the children.
210
00:50:57,039 --> 00:50:59,920
It's possible to make a book just about what it has here.
211
00:51:18,239 --> 00:51:24,440
But I can not take everything,
I'll take one there too with in the foreground, the gorilla head species.
212
00:51:40,519 --> 00:51:41,679
Is that good?
213
00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:43,760
Yes, it's good voodoo.
214
00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:50,000
- I'm going to use that.
- Yes, that's the main one.
215
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:52,079
He will pray for us, he said.
216
00:51:52,159 --> 00:51:52,920
Ah, that's fine.
217
00:52:12,239 --> 00:52:16,920
That, I've never seen, huh.
Yes, but that's the one to do, it's not the other.
218
00:52:17,079 --> 00:52:19,000
- Can’t we shoot it?
- No.
219
00:52:21,159 --> 00:52:23,159
This is never allowed.
220
00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:25,199
That's a bad then, is that a bad guy?
221
00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:28,199
That you photograph it, you will have all the problems in the world.
222
00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:36,599
That's a fetish then, it's not a voodoo?
223
00:52:36,679 --> 00:52:40,440
Ah no, it's a voodoo, a witchcraft voodoo.
224
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:52,559
When the wizard attacks, someone, he sends you, he can disenfranchise you
... he absorbs, but he can not be filmed.
225
00:52:53,639 --> 00:52:55,960
- Voodoo Zon.
- Voodoo Zon.
226
00:52:56,079 --> 00:53:00,119
- It stays in the bush.
- Ah, that's the geniuses of the forest then.
227
00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:19,840
We will not be able to stop at the end, we will still work on Sunday 5 P.M.
228
00:53:38,559 --> 00:53:40,559
You have to slow down for people.
229
00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:56,000
They are afraid, they wonder why whites came to take the chief,
what's going on?
230
00:53:56,159 --> 00:53:59,599
Remove the leader.
- Remove the leader, what is it, there is a problem?
231
00:54:29,960 --> 00:54:39,559
So you see Sakpata voodoo in Boikon, Abhomey, everywhere, it's gone from here.
232
00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:46,000
No slaves left from Ouidah,
the slaves left from here, from the north and from here.
233
00:54:46,480 --> 00:54:51,079
So on leaving, they leave their voodoo in Ouidah.
234
00:55:01,159 --> 00:55:05,599
If it's possible, we do it, if it's not possible ...
We will go see them first.
235
00:55:05,719 --> 00:55:10,239
I had already warned them, when we were there I sent a commission.
236
00:55:11,039 --> 00:55:16,199
Is not it better to let yourself go alone and then come? Like you want.
- No, come on.
237
00:55:27,199 --> 00:55:28,920
This is his voodoo.
238
00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:42,119
This is his voodoo.
239
00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:45,920
Lantefo Priestess.h
240
00:55:48,119 --> 00:55:51,519
They came from their country to make money.
241
00:55:54,360 --> 00:55:56,360
Without giving you anything.
242
00:56:01,719 --> 00:56:03,519
They do not know anything.
243
00:56:03,639 --> 00:56:05,639
- You have seen now.
- Oh yes.
244
00:56:18,840 --> 00:56:25,960
- Are the two ladies here?
- No, there is one here and one over there.
245
00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:39,800
In the village, Jean-Dominique suddenly feels the urge to speak
about his Métis son and his wife of African descent.
246
00:56:42,559 --> 00:56:47,039
- I have a picture of the mother but with ....
- Pregnancy.
247
00:56:53,039 --> 00:56:54,840
These are her real hair.
248
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:09,000
If you see her here, without knowing she's from Canada,
what do you think? Where does she come from, like that?
249
00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:14,719
If she comes from Africa, where does her face come from?
250
00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:18,000
- What is she, Yoruba?
- Fon.
251
00:57:19,559 --> 00:57:23,320
- Somehow, I'm going back in the opposite direction.
- Yes.
252
00:57:24,119 --> 00:57:31,719
She was born in Canada, her parents came to Canada
but they came from the Caribbean.
253
00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:36,760
And I am the first to make the road back to Africa,
but they never came to Africa,
254
00:57:36,880 --> 00:57:45,280
so I tell her his origins, and the other time when I was in Ouidah,
I phoned, I made him listen to the sea, your ancestors they left from there.
255
00:57:46,199 --> 00:57:50,480
That's right, they certainly left here.
- Yes, probably from here.
256
00:57:50,840 --> 00:57:54,119
If you hear slaves, it's north, it's the center.
257
00:57:55,239 --> 00:57:59,960
Yes, there is the same thing in Senegal, those who say
that the stopovers are from the island of Gore, it seems that it is false.
258
00:58:00,039 --> 00:58:07,480
That's wrong, that's wrong because it's the port of embarkation
that people consider, people did not leave there.
259
00:58:07,599 --> 00:58:16,159
No slaves are from Ouidah, no slaves are from Abhomey.
Your ancestors you're talking about, have definitely left here.
260
00:58:17,559 --> 00:58:19,199
- Incredible.
- Oh yes, that's it.
261
00:58:19,280 --> 00:58:33,239
They started, the coastal kingdoms started the trade
because of contact with the ocean, the arrival of shipowners and slavers.
262
00:58:33,519 --> 00:58:44,280
And they started trading with the Europeans,
so the famous triangular trade and there were rules too.
263
00:58:44,400 --> 00:58:54,400
For example, arriving Europeans had the opportunity to create their forts,
mansions to protect goods and others,
264
00:58:54,519 --> 00:59:04,599
but they should not interfere in internal political affairs,
so far kings still had sufficient control of power,
265
00:59:04,719 --> 00:59:10,599
and also trade according to a certain satisfactory legality.
266
00:59:11,119 --> 00:59:20,559
Now, as the famous inner kingdom of Abomey evolves
started to hunt humans systematically
267
00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:31,760
there are terrible odds in this frantic quest,
raids, men to sell and so on.
268
00:59:32,039 --> 00:59:38,960
There was some protection for the Vaudounons,
it was still the interlocutors that,
269
00:59:39,039 --> 00:59:43,639
after the kings there are a number of great Vaudounons.
270
00:59:43,719 --> 00:59:51,360
- We never saw them put in ... no no no.
- The big vudounons have never been sent?
271
00:59:51,480 --> 00:59:52,960
Oh no, they were never sent.
272
00:59:53,360 --> 00:59:58,199
So people have reconstructed voodoo from their own memories
273
00:59:58,280 --> 01:00:11,199
and now, as there were regular contacts between Ouidah and Baia,
they ordered the instruments and the voodoo lives again in another form,
274
01:00:11,320 --> 01:00:21,400
more or less altered but still pretty much
faithful to the scheme they were able to replenish there.
275
01:00:21,559 --> 01:00:31,559
To get by we are today for a religious pluralism,
it's going to be hard to trigger any crusade war,
276
01:00:31,639 --> 01:00:42,880
or even more so of Jihad here, on the contrary, one seeks to
organize peaceful coexistence between the religious denominations that exist.
277
01:00:42,920 --> 01:00:50,280
We must not only see the good side,
tolerance also implies a hidden war anyway.
278
01:06:22,719 --> 01:06:32,559
I told her about the problem this morning between the priestess and her brother
and that we don't want to follow their problems with.
279
01:06:33,000 --> 01:06:39,760
All the Vaudounons that will be in this catalog
will be on an equal footing,
280
01:06:40,239 --> 01:06:44,480
There is no bigger, there is no smaller, except her, except ...
281
01:06:56,199 --> 01:07:06,119
I told him that after this exhibition, the Vaudounons will
benefit from it because people will come, many people will come.
282
01:07:06,199 --> 01:07:12,039
I will do everything to immortalize her,
at least so that she leaves a trace before leaving.
