I said, "reliable source". The unresearched one you put up states, and I quote, "Whether or not the ceremony actually took place doesn't matter".

There is no record of any such ceremony. There is no record of any iron pig statue anywhere. The hundreds of Haitians whom I know and have known for years laugh at this nonsense.

But, you go right ahead and keep pushing it, as long as it makes you feel like a good Christian.

Wow..what got you all fired up. No need to attack me. Calm yourself. The author is from Haiti and it appears a credible source. The way you act there is no Voodoo.

The author states "If we read "The Black Jacobins", C.L.R James historical account of the rise of Toussaint L'Ouverture and Haiti's Slave Rebellion, we find that the blacks of Saint-Domingue believed in the existence of a supreme god that Boukman invoked during the Bois Caiman ceremony." The author gives a very detailed account of Voodoo worship in Haiti, including first hand interviews of Voodoo Black Magic. He states there is a Haitian proverb 'Yon jou pou dyab, yon jou pou Bondye' (A time for the devil and a time for the Good Lord.)

“On July 8 1998, the Ministry of Culture issued an order prohibiting the 3 Protestants from assembling in the Bois Caiman area. The three Protestant leaders were arrested on Aug. 2 when trying to defy the order.”

“The origin of the 13-year Haitian revolution is traced to a voudou ceremony held at Bois Caiman, near the northern city of Cap Haitien, on the night of Aug. 13-14, 1791 and presided over by a slave and voudou priest named Boukman. Now 207 years later, a band of right-wing Protestants has launched an evangelical crusade to posthumously “convert” Boukman to Christianity.”
