In this pre-season episode, we’ll dive into how Haitian Vodou understands the soul’s multiple parts, its relationship to the ancestors, and its role in community, healing, and resistance. Haitian Vodou teaches that the soul is a sacred yet complex union of five parts:

  • Ko Kadav: the physical body, vessel for the soul’s journey
  • Gwo Bon Anj: the great good angel, your spiritual life force
  • Ti Bon Anj: the little good angel, keeper of your personality, memories, and consciousness
  • Nanm: the eternal essence that connects you to the ancestors
  • Zetwal: your guiding star, destiny, and spiritual blueprint

We explore how the different parts of the soul work together to shape your identity, memory, and life purpose.
