Does Voodoo Have a Holy Book?

No, Voodoo does not have a single holy book like many other religions do.

Instead, Voodoo is an oral tradition, meaning its teachings and practices are passed down through stories, rituals, and teachings from one generation to the next. Practitioners rely on a variety of texts and resources that are specific to different lineages or regions, but there is no universally acknowledged scripture that defines Voodoo as a whole.

Many practitioners may reference certain texts that relate to their beliefs, like the ‘Kréyol’ texts, but these do not serve the same purpose as a holy book. Voodoo is more about personal connection to the spirits (Loa) and community practices rather than strict adherence to a written doctrine.
