He told us that both Christianity and Voodoo are religions that still live in Haiti; but voodoo remains a taboo in society for all the years of trying to eradicate it. This religion is associated with the zombification process: a REAL PROCESS according to this teacher!
A few days ago a teacher who had been three years in Haiti, went to talk us about this country.
According to the internet, a zombie consists of a dead man resurrected by magical means by a sorcerer to turn him into his slave. However, the teacher told us that the most common thing in the tradition was to zombify someone for two reasons: for adultery (in women) or for treason. Through the mixture of different ingredients (among which is the poison of a puffer fish, bones and human remains) a powder is made that is inhaled and turns you into a zombie. This posion damages your central nervous system for life, and makes you look dead; without facial expressions, without any will, and with an emaciated appearance. Undead.
According to the professor, the French conquerors when they learned about the properties of this posion, began to occupy it to have more slaves. Now, zombification would be banned in Haiti. He thinks he saw at least two zombies when he visited Haiti.
Do you think this is real?
