Vodoun is not a “universal“ tradition. Although others can join,

(99% of Vodoun’s priesthoods are inherited).

Vodoun is not “dogmatic” (based on rigid infallible doctrines).

Vodoun is not a “proselytizing” tradition AND does not seek recruits.

Vodoun is not an “apocalyptic” tradition (end of the world/doomsday etc.,).

Vodoun is not a “pantheistic” religion (belief in many gods).

Vodoun did not originate in Haiti.
