Dominican Vudú

Dominican Vudú, also known as Las 21 Divisiones (21 Divisions), is a syncretic religion of Caribbean origin which developed on the island of Hispaniola.

Dominican Vudú is composed of three main divisions:

Rada Division
Also known as the white or sweet division, whose spirits are of African origin (usually Fon, Ewe and Nago spirits)

Petro Division
Also known as the fire or bitter division (mostly of Bantu origin spirits);

Gede Division
Also called black division (whose spirits deal with death and the ancestors)

Native American Division
Also called the water division, whose spirits are of Pre-Columbian origin (usually refers to Taíno ancestral spirits of the island). Most spirits are syncretized with a catholic saints image. These are some of the main features that distinguishes Dominican Vudú from other forms of Vodoo.
