Extractions: Mamaissii Zogbé Vivian Hunter-Hindrew, Hounon Amengansie Publishers Note: This interview was originally published May 2001, on About.com by Nigerian (About.com) African Cultures host, Dr. Austin Ogunsuyi. Due to the sudden closure of the African Cultures segment featured on About.com, this interview has been reprinted here in its entirety. Mamaissii Zogbé Vivian: Unlike the strict parameters that are drawn in Western religions between the secular and non-secular world, Vodoun is a tradition that is all encompassing in all aspects of ones life. From the temporal to the spectacular. From pe-birth to the afterlife, the Vodoun is intrinsic in all aspects of ones existence. Mamaissii Zogbé Vivian: The relationship is largely one of regional, linguistic, cultural, ethnic and even political variations in both its spelling and meaning. In the Fon language, the word "Vodou" simply means "Spirit." Th word "Spirit," simply is a term used to describe the specialized Nature divinities served in the Vodoun tradition. This is the term and meaning that the majority in the West are familiar with.
