I know the basic history of it, though I thought if I asked I might get a wide variety of answers. Which I'd love.

Who knows the basic history of Haitian Vodou?

Haitian Vodou is a very interesting religion. Just started checking it out myself ^_^

From what I've gathered, they petition aid from, and connect with the spirits (lwa) and give some form of sacrifice/offering for thanks. According to the Encyclopedia Brittanica it came about in the 16th century, after the catholic church sent out missionaries to convert. Here are some links for more information:
