Voodoo, particularly in Haiti, is heavily focused on honoring and communicating with the spirits of the deceased, known as the Gede. These rituals, like the Fet Gede, or Day of the Dead celebration, are a central part of Vodou practice, involving gatherings, offerings, and communing with ancestral spirits.
Fet Gede: This annual celebration, similar to the Mexican Day of the Dead, involves visiting cemeteries, making libations (offerings of food and drink), and engaging in rituals to honor the spirits of the deceased. Voodoo practitioners believe that ancestors can guide and help the living, and they seek their wisdom and protection through rituals and ceremonies.
