Note sull'episodio
Who is Bondye? In this episode, we explore the Supreme Creator in Haitian Vodou, moving beyond stereotypes to uncover the true role of God in this faith tradition.
The creole word “Bondye” derives from the French word “Bon Dieu", meaning “Good God” is not the distant figure often misrepresented in Western narratives. Instead, Bondye is understood as the universal creator, source of life, and sacred presence that underpins Vodou cosmology.
Listeners will gain a deeper, decolonized understanding of the role of Bondye as the supreme yet transcendent God in Vodou and how Vodou honors Bondye alongside the lwa (spirits) who guide daily life.
Whether you’re new to Haitian Vodou or seeking a more authentic perspective, this episode invites you to reimagine God through the lens of Haitian spirituality, culture, and history.
