7775: Morse replies to Grey

[Bob Corbett <corbetre@webster.edu>]

Dear Kathy Grey,
I cringe at the thought of arguing with you but just because your approach
to
vodou is an option, it doesn't exclude Ms Dorce's husband's approach. I
remember a little street kid telling me (and i mentioned this once before)
"si ou te achte lwa w, ou tap mourri sou cha'a": rough translation, "If
you
had bought your spirits, you would have died on that float." Everyone's
got
their own option, everyone chooses their own route. It varies from house
to
house and community to community. Some people do ceremonies, some people
light candles, some people read cards, others have dreams, some people
sacrifice cows, some marry one spirit, some marry two, some don't marry
any,
in some communities it's ghede and others it's kouzin and on and on and
on.
