In Vodun ceremonies across Togo, possession by spirits is not pathological. It is the point. The drumming reaches a frequency that opens a channel between the human world and the spirit world, and a priest or practitioner enters a trance state where the Vodun speaks through them directly. The possessed may dance with superhuman energy, offer prophecies, or deliver messages from ancestors who died centuries ago. Observers do not fear this. They welcome it. The spirit has arrived, and that means the ceremony is working.
A day for practical kindness when weather interrupts the plan.
A day for the entrance that tells visitors someone cares about this place.
