Anyone know if Voodoo is practiced on Bonaire? (If so, it would not bother me at all. I just thought it might make an interesting thread, what with Bonaire being in the general vicinity of Haiti and all...) (at least "nearby" as far as we mainlanders are concerned)

I could swear that someone mistakenly made a Voodoo Doll that looked a little bit too much like me when I lived there.....they must have gotten a thrill by pounding it on the pavement, throwing it and it's bicycle around, breaking it's thumbs, feeding it to the eels and letting it lounge in a spider-web hammock.

On Bonaire voo doo is called bruheria and widely practiced among our older population. It also covers good and evil spells.
