Kanzo

Kanzo is the name for the initiation ceremony within the Vodou tradition. It is a sacrament, and considered to be one of the most sacred events within a Vodouisant’s life. Quite naturally, the ceremonies are empowering, exhilarating, and life-altering. They will change your life, making it better, easier, and revolutionary.You are welcome to come and participate with our Sosyete in our yearly Kanzo. Due to popular demand for the Kanzo ceremony at our House, we will be holding the ceremony of ceremonies, the Kanzo, in the month of January. The Vodou tradition discriminates against no one. Whether you are black, white, red, green or purple doesn’t matter. Your race is not an issue within Vodou at all. Also, you can be straight, gay, bisexual or transgender, again it is a non-issue.

Initiation into our House cannot be bought. There are certain requirements before the initiation actually takes place. You will be required to have a preliminary divination to determine certain things. Optimally this divination will be done in person, but we understand time, distance, and financial constraints that may not make this possible. Divination for these ceremonies is done by calling a House Lwa into possession in which He will determine what is right for you. Divination will determine whether the Kanzo is right for you. If so, we will also ask whether or not our House is for you to become Kanzo in and – if that is the case – what rank you are to take within Vodou. If you aspire to be a priest or priestess, you should let us know so that this can be taken into consideration. Even if you are not called to Kanzo, you can still be part of Vodou by partaking in the Lave Tet.
