Voodoo ceremony in the Sacred Forest of Kpassè during the Voodoo Festival (Benin).
The Benin Voodoo Festival is an annual event held on January 10th in Benin, West Africa. Recognized as a national holiday since 1996, the festival celebrates the nation's rich history and the prominence of Voodoo as a government-recognized religion.
The city of Ouidah, often referred to as a mecca of gods and spirits, serves as the epicenter of the festivities. The celebration features a vibrant mix of tourism and religion, showcasing the adaptability of ancient traditional beliefs in modern life.
The festival includes a variety of activities such as ceremonies, concerts, and exhibitions, all aimed at dispelling misconceptions and negative stereotypes about Voodoo.
The Benin Voodoo Festival offers a unique opportunity to immerse oneself in the country's cultural heritage, providing insights into the spiritual practices that have shaped its history.

We travelled about 2 hours from Ho Chi Minh City to Tay Ninh, Vietnam to attend a Caodaism ceremony in the Cao Dai Holy See Temple . The is a curious and unique architecture of this building is a mixture of Asian and European architectures. Its vivid colours and shapes are very different, and unlike anything else I’ve seen.
The Cao Dai religion is just as colorful as this templa because it’s a mishmash of multiple religions. It incorporates elements of Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, Confucianism and Spiritualism. Its deities includes Buddha, Confucius, Jesus Christ, Mohammed, Joan of Arc, Sun Yat Sen and Victor Hugo amongst others. CaoDai is thus a universal faith with the principle that all religions have one same divine origin, one same ethic based on LOVE and JUSTICE, and are just different manifestations of one same TRUTH.
Watching Caodiasts pray is a long elaborate and hypnotic chant accompanied by music. They dress in long flowing robes of white for lay followers, yellow, blue or red for priests, whilst bishops have the Divine Eye embroidered on their headpieces. During worship men are seated on the right and women on the left with all devotees seated in orderly rows. The middle of the temple is reserved for priests and bishops, and the closer they are to the front, the more experience they have, and the closer they are to their deity. I encourage you to watch a video I made of this ceremony and the chants.

Have a great Saturday everyone!
Thanks for the faves and comments as always!

Tea bowl (chawan 茶碗; main article: chawan). Tea bowls are available in a wide range of sizes and styles, and different styles are used for thick and thin tea. Shallow bowls, which allow the tea to cool rapidly, are used in summer; deep bowls are used in winter. Bowls are frequently named by their creators or owners, or by a tea master. Bowls over four hundred years old are in use today, but only on unusually special occasions. The best bowls are thrown by hand, and some bowls are extremely valuable. Irregularities and imperfections are prized: they are often featured prominently as the "front" of the bowl.
Tea scoop (chashaku 茶杓). Tea scoops generally are carved from a single piece of bamboo, although they may also be made of ivory or wood. They are used to scoop tea from the tea caddy into the tea bowl. Bamboo tea scoops in the most casual style have a nodule in the approximate center. Larger scoops are used to transfer tea into the tea caddy in the mizuya (preparation area), but these are not seen by guests. Different styles and colours are used in various tea traditions.
Tea whisk (chasen 茶筅). This is the implement used to mix the powdered tea with the hot water. Tea whisks are carved from a single piece of bamboo. There are various types. Tea whisks quickly become worn and damaged with use, and the host should use a new one when holding a chakai or chaji.

Join the Druids in this ceremony where we remember those who passed the boundaries of this life in the past year, on this special time of year when the veil between this world and the world of spirits is at its thinnest.

Temple of the Sacred tooth Relic -
It is said that the tooth relic was smuggled to the island by Princess Hemamali and her husband, Prince Dantha on the instructions of her father King Guhasive after the parinirvana of Gautama Buddha, during the reign of Sirimeghavanna of Anuradhapura (301-328).
This was taken when my husband and I were in Maui, Hawaii many years ago of a ceremony that was performed every night at the Sheraton in Kaanapali. Someone would run along a path and light torches along the way, and at the end of it he stands on the edge of the rock formation in the ocean and then dives into the ocean.
Have a great Monday! :)
This is the last – as for now – photo from Orwochrom series. There's no doubt that I'll come back to this project one day, but in the meantime I would like to share with you some photos I took in recent weeks.
This photo was taken in the school yard of former Primary School no 112 in Wrocław. While looking for some clues about what this photo presents I asked my mother as she lived nearby for many years. She suggested that most probably this was a ceremony of giving this school a name after Aniela Krzywoń – soldier of Polish People's Army, first polish woman awarded with title 'Hero of the Soviet Union'. She died a heroic death in 1943 in the battle of Lenino (in the Soviet Union, today's Belarus). She was 18 years old. I found out that this ceremony took place in 09.05.1969 which means that this is the oldest photo from Orwochrom series so far. Another interesting fact is that this school is one of many (1417 to be precise) that were built in between 1966-1972 in the 1000th anniversary of Poland (966-1966).
