<< Today let try to tackle a subject that we have ignored for

Oh brother, "Vodou and superstition", huh?

<<If your parents are lougaroup, sanpwel they can enroll you without your
 knowledge or they can transfer it to you when they are going to die>>

That's not true, by the way, in the Sanpwel we choose our members, it's not 
inherited.  Becoming a loup garou is not inherited either, although I suppose 
your parent could "sell you out".

<<young women
 might expose early, looking for way to keep…. And without their knowledge 
they became
 lougaroup. >>

This is just SO false.

<<Some have tendency to
 link that practice to peasant, not true, pastor, priest; churchgoers, 
atheist and so
 on is practicing it. >>

That's for sure - I know one Protestant pastor in Jacmel who holds church 
services during the day and calls the lwa at night!  LOL!

Peace and love,
