🔥THE VUDU OF THE 21 DIVISIONSThe Vudu of the 21 Divisions is the oldest and most deeply rooted tradition in the Dominican Republic, a belief system that blends elements of African religions, Catholicism, and indigenous practices.
This form of Vudu is known for its complexity and cultural richness, with a particular emphasis on the connection between the earthly realm and the spiritual world through the intermediation of the Misterios, spirits representing the forces of nature and the ancestors.
The term “21 Divisions” refers to the 21 different “spirit families” that are part of this tradition.
These 21 families can be simplified into 4 main families: the Blanca Rada Division, the Negra Guede Division, the Petro Division (Fire), and the India Division (Water).
Each of these divisions is characterized by specific energies, symbols, and rituals, and serves to meet different needs in the lives of those who invoke them.
Practitioners of this tradition are called Servidores or Caballo de Misterios if they are able to embody these entities, while the masters are referred to as Papabokor (male) and Mambo (female).
The ritual and magical work within this tradition involves ceremonies including songs, dances, prayers, and offerings of food, rum, and tobacco.
Unlike other forms of Vudu, the Vudu of the 21 Divisions is considered the most magical, allowing practitioners to immediately set up an altar in their homes to begin working with these entities.
With its ability to traverse the boundaries between the sacred and the profane, the Vudu of the 21 Divisions continues to be a living, dynamic, and deeply respected practice that invites a deeper understanding of the relationship between humans and the divine.
🔥INITIATION INTO THE VUDU OF THE 21 DIVISIONS
To begin the path of the Vudu of the 21 Divisions and understand its dynamics, starting to know the four main families, the approach is very practical.
A Mambo or a Bokor will, through specific ceremonies, open the doors to these main families one by one, starting with the Rada, followed by the Guede, Petro, and finally the India families.
During each ceremony, participants will learn about the various Misterios that make up the Division, the forces at play, how to set up an altar, how to interact with the Misterios, and the appropriate offerings and correct methods to open and close an altar.
Additionally, important individual divinations will be performed to help participants discover which Misterios are closest to them, guiding them to find their Padrino (godfather) and Madrina (godmother), who will accompany the initiate to their baptism.
