Voodoo Lecture

I am glad I attended the Voodoo lecture, not only because it was required but I did find it very interesting. Last semester I took the course "World Religions" and it briefly touched upon the Voodoo tradition. Mark, or to some people known as a Houngan (male priest), was very informative on the history of the Voodoo practice and erased most of the misconceptions I had about the Voodoo stereotype. Also, I thought it was very interesting when he spoke the language of the native Haiti with some people in the audience. All in all, I believe it was an interesting presentation on the slightly misinterpreted tradition of Voodoo.
