Many believe that voodoo is linked to evil and dark practices. These people may think that something bad happens every year on January 10 in Benin. In the collective imagination, voodoo is the mutation of the ancient African beliefs of people who were enslaved and taken to South America. At this time, thousands of worshippers travel to Ouidah, the main center of this cult, to receive the blessing of the city's voodoo chief. Over the years, the festival has become a popular celebration that has nothing to do with darkness or evil. It is probably the most passionate, the most colorful and the most numerous of all the celebrations that take place in Benin.
