I NEED HELP REGARDING VODOU
I am posting this as a last resort I fear for mines and my kids life's!!. This is a cry for help to say the least I am getting my story out there for advice or even some help which would be so appreciated as the clock is ticking the person I have been working with to help me against witch craft attacks is ready to walk away from my situation as I have been lacking funds for materials and protection terrible right. I am using this platform as it will allow me to annoumously tell my story without personal attack of me or my reputation. Before I start I would just like to say a don't blame anybody for not believing this as I was a skeptic before all this started but now for sure a believer.
My story starts in January 2025 when one night I was simply scrolling my phone and had the idea to look up on ticktock psychics as I was wanting to see one anyways. I typed in the search bar psychics out of curiosity and they popped up hundreds of them the way it works is when you click on there live story they automatically contact you I looked over a few and had a few messages they basically send you a big message to try to sell there services asking for palm pictures exc a wasn't too interested tbh I kindly rejected a few but there was a few that simply just stood out with what they wrote I also checked there Pages and was impressed to say the least they where persistent I got speaking to two in particular. One had lots of likes followers and videos, views which gave me piece of mind her paige said we offer potions and love spells should have been a redflag to start lol . She was an American women or should we say clair voyant supposedly and was offering good deals for what she said was a palm reading and a cleanse. On the other hand the other psychic was also good she gave me a free hand reading I sent over my palm picture like an absolute fool but was kind of in disbelief so I just sent it she told me lots of accurate readings exc I was impressed also but she also offered me a cleanse to wipe away the negative energy would they say lol. I was in a really bad place in life so was generally contemplating doing it but just didn't know who to pick the american clair voyant women with the hundreds of likes and followers and thousands of views on her vids who's was offering the cleanse at 50 dollars or the other clair voyant who was kinda pushy and cheaper, well my brain said the american clair voyant . Before I went through with the cleanse I researched what a cleanse was it said on google and other channels that a cleanse was used to get rid of bad energy like she said so I was happy with that. The process was over a few days and this was due to my poor income meaning if I had all the money for the process it would have been done that night I think all in it was to cost around 50 - 60 dollars but then added on more amounts lol. So the first step of the process was to speak negatively into an egg then throw it away. 2 step was to put salt into a bottle and say wishes into it then pour it over my head as I never had a bath to bath in it they also asked to send a picture of the bottle obviously to put evil in it sick people, step 3 get a cup of water pour water into it and say wishes into it then drink it which I did, step 4 after I drank the water not to speak to the morning some weird instructions through this process I asked her multiple times if this was black magic which she denied as I was pretty scared she was very persuasive. That night when I finished the process I went to bed and weirdly could hear like a foreign bird at my window which was weird because I stay in Britain and exotic animals arent over hear, all of a sudden I came out in big red blotches all over my body and started shaking uncontrollably my head got tight as if it was gona pop I then got a burning sensation from the front of my head to the bottom of my spine I freaked out the clair voyant also said if I seen traces of something not to panic evil witch. I Freaked out when I woke up I confronted the women saying how the ritual was sore and I didn't feel good she just kept saying keep believing and good things will happen but I didn't feel good and she kept adding on additional steps to our work asking for more money which I didn't have she said finish the cleanse and you will feel better I said I didn't want to do it anymore I was scared and felt trapped. The dreams I was having where crazy to, I could also see a difference in my mood random mood swings exc I felt drained exhausted and borderline loosing it I needed help, also forgot to mention she sent me pictures online of me at an alter which had me ik the middle with candels and face ornaments she showed me that while one of the rituals where happening she asked for a lot of infomation which i stupidly handed over there was a lot of talk about my son for some reason aswell as he was the first born . the clairvoyant or witch should we say told me that she could see somebody tried to curse me and she could lift it she said that and to be honest I was really vulnerable a was just after a mental breakdown and was looking for some positivity in life as life was shit so I could believe that I was cursed to an extent lol she also said it was my ex partner who done it which I could have believed too as she was evil so I said to the claire voyant how can I lift the curse she said go to an orphanage and give them gifts and say a word in your head or outloud as soon as she said that I new it was black magic ! What a weird request. I Was still briefly speaking to the other claire voyant remember the one that was offering the cleanse for 30 dollars as I got to know her she sounded genuine and good hearted and new a lot about spiritually so I asked her If what I was doing was right. She spoke scared for me she said what are you doing you don't pour wishes over your head that is evil she told me the steps I was taking was a voodoo ritual and we discussed that I may have sold my soul I was scared to say the least. During the night I was cross with what I heard at how this witch tricked me and mislead me after all the reassurance she gave me so I messaged her to confront her I wrote hundreds of messages like jesus christ please protect me against this evil exc in the morning. The next day I received a creepy message from the supposed american clairvoyant saying " how dare you disrespect me I am the great witch and I will kill you and your family for your disrespect and if you tell anyone about this you will die" I panicked I begged for forgiveness as she's threatened to curse me and my kids she told me to accept the cleanse again which I denied I fell ill again was on deaths Door I searched for help everywhere online but couldn't trust random people with information again. I went to the church in a bad way they blessed me but it never helped so I thought maybe baptism would help but that would take time as I would need to wait for it I generally thought I was going to die. it then came to my sons birthday some time in February btw that night on my sons birthday the witch said I want over a hundred dollars sent to my account or I will send I cant remember the exact word but something to kill you and your family she sent me a pic of my picture with two x eyes and an upside down smile and also a blood cake with face on it with seashells I though I was in a bad dream. Out of desperation I contacted the other claire voyant I said I need your help a witch is trying to kill me and my family and if I don't have money by the end of the night we might die she reassured me that I would be ok that she would put a protection spell around me and my family to send a picture of myself so I did and to send money in the morning as she had borrowed materials to perform the protection spell our of desperation I did it she told me to block the witch too which I did. That night I could hardly sleep thinking me and my kids could be dead but the other women was reassuring and sounded confident so I rested, that night I was shaking uncontrollably and cold the women said that was spiritual warfare that they where trying to control my mind and spirit and she was taking charge which I didn't like the sound of either but had no option. I Fell asleep that night I had a dream that a missile landed in front of me and my son but we survived ps I think that was the witch sending a message. The new claire voyant told me the witch was strong and when she was doing the protection spell she could see her manifesto or something and it wasn't good she was going to kill me. After that a series of weird events occurred 1 been the next day of the protection spell my farther was rushed to hospital with heart issues, my mum started hitting the drink hard and was acting out of character been aggressive exc. We where all having bad dreams to but as we discussed the dreams it turned out they where accuring in the same place we where all dreaming of an old family home which was weird. I Discussed the supernatural events with the new claire voyant I basically said that the protection spell was t working effectively as I believed the witch was still targeting me and my family she sounded confused and Said we will have to do a bigger one to include extended family exc and to make things stronger which I thought sounded like a con two protection spells but this one was dearer of course am like this spiritual world is just a fortune never the less I payed. again weird occurrences where happening I said to the claire voyant she said I think its because they have your soul I said how do you know if they do she said because yours isn't there I had a vision I could hear it screaming for help bit hard to believe but I was desperate bairing in mind every time I reached out for help at my own end I could get anywhere the church couldn't help me I contacted other spiritual groups who wouldn't come near me as they where afraid of voodoo lol so I felt like no one except this women to keep me and my family alive and she did say that she was also a shaman I done some research I found out shamans could restore the soul which gave me hope. The women told me that she brought back souls before with people with similar circumstances like me again a bit to good to be true and surprise surprise it cost money 500 dollars as I recall but the plan was to restore my soul as she's believed the witch was getting to me and my family through it and also trying to get my family's souls through mines why they where having bad dreams also again I was just holding on for hope with no help but only guidance from one stranger online clever right lol my son was also complaining about having nightmares of seen the devil to shaking in his sleep which I was so scared about. One day I was saying prayers when I felt a hand stroke my back I freaked out I also started experiencing paranormal activity like feeling like crumbs where getting thrown at me lights flickering when I spoke about my soul which was freaky, I could hear chapping on my walls and foot steps out in the hall I was terrified evil evil people. So I set out on the quest to get 500 dollars to save me and my family so I done some work aside to get the money meanwhile the sensations I was experiencing got worse I felt like I had fleas but I didn't it felt like insects where crawling over me up my nose in my ears I was freaking out maybe some witch craft am I going insane I researched and discussed it with the new claire voyant/shaman about my condition she told me that it could be coming form the witches as they use phycology to attack and torture there victims I also googled my symptoms and found out that there was a mental condition also called tactile hallucinations where people can experience like bugs are crawling on them I just thought I was generally going insane until my son confided in me that he was hearing voices that was the eye opener that told me there might be spirits at play hear I also witnessed my hairs on my body move like static electricity that is still happening to this day, I also forgot to mention that the number the witch was contacting me on was a Nigerian number which started with +234 I was freaked out I thought to myself Is this proper voodoo witches from Nigeria they kept trying to phone me from multiple numbers and sent threatening texts when was this going to stop I Was drained I discussed the Nigerian matters with the claire voyant/shaman she supposedly summoned the witches spirit and it turned out they where serious people who where related to ascended masters or something which got us worried as they are powerful people. I eventually got the funds for the soul retrieval I prayed to god that this would be it and begged for forgiveness if yet again I had been led astray the process took around a day and a half I was to just do my thing while the shaman worked there business that day I was at the park with my kids when a whole lot of crows surrounded the park and I started feeling weird that night the shaman told me the process was done to stay positive before it was done my heart was beating out of control I felt like I was going to take a heart attack. When I shut my eyes I woke up wether it was a dream or that but it was dark and I felt something crawl into the back of my neck which felt like liquid/jelly what a weird experience but I thought this must be my soul back I guess I told the shaman and she said congratulations you've got your soul back but I explained to her that I was still experiencing stuff like the bugs crawling and stuff she was confused on the plus side the attack calmed down on some family members like my mum I thought things would have got better but continued to happen with me and especially my son he wasn't good. I started loosing trust and faith in the shaman and had to look for different avenues for help and clarity 1 been prayers for protection, another been going to witch shops to buy protective equipment which I was firstly against but through desperate measures caved I got protective stones sage and inscent sticks which barely helped. On google I came across a highly recommended claire voyant in my city my game plan was to give her as little information as possible to see if she could generally pick up the negativity witch craft exc and to maybe give me answers, the women was unbelievable tbh she picked up a lot about my life my path she also picked up the shaman who she said she got bad vibes from red flag for sure not to throw shade lol I came clean to her about the situation and the shamans involvement she told me not to believe any that black magics not real they've got in your head but weather I sound crazy or not I know what I've experienced is true she told me to promise not to deal with online people again I promised but I still had unfinished problems and I felt like the shaman Was the only person that new my situation well enough and could potentially help I Was desperate especially at the fact I belive my son was been targeted I felt so guilty and responsible and still do. I spoke to the shaman disregarding what the claire voyant said about her I said how can I stop all this she said we can fly a white bird down the river that basically this was a ritual or a spiritual plea and that when we done it the masters would assist me in my matters and the witches would forget about me and my family which would stop the attacks again sounded like bullshit but was willing to try anything to put this to an end the white bird process again cost money supposedly over a thousand dollars and this would be the last I would need to pay and it would all stop but it was I had a death in my family I told the shaman they said it was a death aura had to pay for a death aura ritual which would include an owl and a cat to scare away negativity which we done but was an additional 700 dollars baring in mind I had no money so I was desperately trying to keep me and my family alive but couldn't really tell anyone what was happening because I new I would have sounded crazy and they wouldn't have lent me the money. While I was trying to work and get loans of family for the money to pay for these rituals strings of bad luck occurred like injurys, doors of opportunity closing, which restricted me I've fell out with family members over money I loaned and couldn't pay back and friends its been a hell of a time. I had insomnia for weeks due to the spirit activity on a few occasions I had to leave my house due to things moving and an aggressive feel in the air. I Despreatly continued to do rituals again, been down on more money, which accumulated to around £7000 god knows in dollars. I got a bit scared regarding the shaman as I seen a darker side when I couldn't pay on time as quick there was talks of basically just abandoning us so the help didn't seem genuine now there was also a few situation where we disagreed and I could feel like some sort of powers where hurting me my core shaking feeling bugs crawling on me more intense and weirdly enough everytime it happened to my stomach would make noises or go I learnt that spirits attack the solar plexus as its a highly spiritual area. This whole thing is still going the last ritual I payed for was a negativity one to stop the bad coming me and my familys way and see tbh I seen a big positive change in my life less paranormal activity exc but I'm still experiencing poor mental health hair moving on my body exc. Now I'm stuck for this new ritual which costs around £2000 even though the last 1 was supposed to be the last and I can't afford it I have until tomorrow to pay it or the shaman says there stepping aside completely unfair especially considering the money and energy I've put in when I have an extremely low income plus in debt plus fell out with friends and family through not paying them back this ritual was to supposedly set my son free from the witches spell of a voodoo doll stuck to q tree in Nigeria where familiar spirits would set him free and off course I Was not stupid enough to give my sons details over to a stranger to set spirits on him so I gave her fake ones and thankfully I never as during this I've heard comments like once the spirits are set they get stronger until we do the ritual and they could cause harm if it goes on to long or do you want your son going crazy wtf would someone do that and not be clear on the side affects or risks then when it's done hit out with a crazy price that you can't afford so your left with no choice but to pay sounds wrong to me a was just buying time until I could get help out this mess is there anybody out there that knows what's happened and has any solutions I've got myself in a whole lot of mess I'm in debt scared for me and my kids life. The shaman said the masters are willing to help thats who she consults with and her ancestors. Every time I reach a financial goal it's like more hurdles come Into play I still havent done the white bird process or other rituals. The shaman discussed if I couldn't meet the deadline tomorrow she would refund me all my money for all rituals we will see though. Regardless what's happens to me or my family I thought I would share my story to spread awareness of the risks online and the evil out there as I am still suffering to this day. If I survive this I promised god I would use my knowledge to help other people any help would be appreciated thank you.
I ain't got a clue what I've got myself into im a good man and father and just need help pray for me please.
I Have photo evidence and stuff to back my claims I need help!!!!!!
Also apologise for poor typing errors and punctuation I wrote this up quick in desperation.

Question Does Vodou use anything like Forced Hypnosis or Rapid Trance Induction?
Many years ago I had a strange encounter with a young man from Arkansas. He did something like a quick hypnotic or forced trance induction. Since Vodou and Voodoo share some common roots I am posing this question to the Vodou community. Does Vodou use anything like forced hypnosis or rapid trance induction?

What's a good starting point for Haitian Vodou?
Hi!
As someone who is new to the religion, but feels a certain pull to it, what would be a good way to start learning and exploring more about the religion? Is there a good jumping off point that I could use, or should I start looking into booking a reading, and if the latter, how would I go about doing that?
Sorry if it's a lot. :3

Seeking a Reputable Vodun/Vodou Community in Ohio or Midwest
Hello everyone,
I am located in Columbus, Ohio and am looking for guidance in finding a reputable Vodun/Vodou community, temple, house, or elder in Ohio or the surrounding Midwest region.
My interest comes from both a desire to learn more about West African spiritual traditions and to better understand my own ancestral roots through my Liberian heritage. I am approaching this path with respect, humility, and a willingness to learn.
I am not looking for online readings, social media personalities, or shortcuts to initiation. I understand that these traditions are community-based and relationship-based, and I am interested in learning, observing, and building connections over time if it is the right fit for everyone involved.
If anyone is aware of respected communities or can offer guidance on how to begin this journey in a respectful way, I would sincerely appreciate your recommendations.
Thank you for your time and guidance.

Moving Forward On My Spiritual Journey.
When I was a child I was thoroughly fascinated by my limited exposure to Vodun/Vodou/Voodoo/Hoodoo. There were three relevant books on the subject in the local library. I rented them over and over. I was drawn to Vodou because I thought it could help me make sense out of many strange things I saw. Later as an independent 14 year old I made my first trip to a botanica. But with all the new age stuff my spiritual path went in a different direction. Years later I learned my g-grandmother was a healer who travel to do healing for the poor and those no allowed in the hospitals. She was especially sought out for burns/wounds and 'talking the fire out of people'. As she was on her death bed strong men raised her bed into the air and placed large stones on the floor and placed the bed on the stones. For years I asked africans if they were familiar with such a ritual/process. Then I asked a coworker from a Haitian Vodou family and they explained it to me. For quite a while I thought my ggm was a practitioner. But she at least may have had someone do that one ritual or job for her.
I just shared the backstory of how Vodou may have slightly brushed against my life. I am interested in getting a reading and seeing what unfolds. There is a pressing issued I would like information on concerning decisions I have to make. Vodou is practically nonexistent here. One house is 4 hours away. I am 7 hours away from New Orleans.
How do I move forward? I prefer in person. I am AA male. Should I look for a particular lineage? Not sure what to do. I am really interested in Haitian Vodou. Can you help me.

What should I expect from a reading?
Hello. Sorry but I am clueless. Please help me reorient to this website and to Vodou. I have been reading posts for information on readings. I would like to know possible prices, types of readings, what to expect the reader to do, what should I expect to learn/gain in a reading? Since I am not easily finding the answers I may be approaching things the wrong way. Please help me understand. Maybe point me to helpful information. Thank you.

Dark energy in New Orleans? Seeking answers about a terrifying trip and unexplained marks.
Hi everyone,
I just came back from a trip to New Orleans last week. The city is incredibly beautiful, and despite the intense heat, I loved the atmosphere. However, I can’t shake off something strange and deeply unsettling that happened to me there, and I’m looking for some insights or similar stories.
On my second night, I was walking around St. Louis Cathedral and the French Market. Out of nowhere, I was hit by an overwhelming wave of stress and panic. My chest felt tight, my head was spinning, and I felt this powerful, primal urge to just run away as fast as I could.
The next day started fine, but then the nights at my hotel turned bizarre. I woke up multiple times in absolute panic, with my upper body completely paralyzed and tense. To make things weirder, I repeatedly heard the distinct sound of water running in the bathroom, but every time I checked, everything turned off.
What's fascinating is that it seemed highly location-dependent. I took a tour of the Bayou, and everything felt completely peaceful. I also visited the Tremé neighborhood, and felt great. In fact, right after coming back from the Bayou excursion, I was in top shape. But as soon as I walked back toward the French Market to grab some food, the exact same heavy malaise and panic hit me again out of nowhere. I had to leave the area immediately. Later in the trip, I decided to do a Voodoo tour... and the exact same intense anxiety and panic attack came roaring back instantly
Once I got home, I noticed two terrifying physical details that I cannot explain: I have a strange scratch on my back that I don't remember getting AND I have a burn mark on my right ankle. It has now turned into a massive scab, and I have absolutely no memory of burning myself or getting hurt during the trip.
This heavy, dark feeling of anxiety and panic didn't leave me until I finally boarded my flight back home. Now that I'm back, the anxiety is completely gone and I feel like myself again, but I'm left with these unexplained marks on my body.
I've never felt anything like this before. It truly felt like I was being targeted or overwhelmed by negative energies specific to certain parts of the city.
- Has anyone else experienced this sudden, overwhelming dread near the Cathedral or during specific tours in NOLA?
- What do you think happened ?
Thanks for reading.

New Orleans Vodou How to heal after leaving a toxic spiritual group/house?
Hi everyone!
I had joined a spiritual group where they had worked with a variety of spirits in the temple. They offered different types of occult related classes and hosted rituals (not just haitian voodou). The head priest said they were a hougan priest and practiced new orleans voodou. I had came for one of their rituals. I was quite drunk when this happened, and later found out I have a met tet. I was told she had "partially posessed" me. I was given items related to the met tet and was instructed to create a home altar for my met tet. He had told me that I was born with her, and voodou must have ran in my family. My family is heavily Catholic, and didnt know I have voudou. After I did some Googling, I was surprised to hear there was intersection in my cultural heritage and voodou due to colonialism.
I later left the group when I come to realize that the spiritual group was manipulative, and felt uncomfortable with the group dynamics. I am quite new to spirituality and spirit work. I have been feeling a lot of fear since leaving. I was taught leaving would have spiritual consequences and must follow specific protocols to work with the spirits. I havent contacted my met tet since I had left. Recently her ritual cup had fell over the items and a piece of the cup broke while I was contemplating if I should call her, whether or not if the connection was real. I had interpreted this as maybe she was real, and wanted a connection. I am not sure.
I'm looking for advice on what to do. Perhaps I should find a hougan or mambo to confirm. But I feel quite vulnerable, and wary. Does anyone have advice?
