“Haiti’s Pact with the Devil: The Human Sacrifice at Bois Caiman Vodou Ceremony and the Evangelical Interpretation”

I believe the idea of “pact” in Haitian history has two aspects: one is spiritual; the other is non-spiritual. I believe the African slaves made a “non-spiritual but a historical pact” (they came to a consensus and made a decisive determination) with each other to end slavery and to be freed from colonialism and slavery. The spiritual pact is a complex one because it is based primarily on oral traditions (I am not saying that oral traditions are not reliable or should not be trusted), and it is not easy to verify the historical credibility of the spiritual pact.

Interestingly, the spiritual pact has been interpreted differently in Haiti’s religious communities. Haitian Vodouizan have their own interpretation, and Haitian Protestants/Evangelicals have their own. For example, I have heard from many Haitian Christians and pastors while travelling on mission trips to Haiti that the Africans made a pact with the devil at the Bois Caiman event (This is not just a Pat Robertson’s declaration!) I have a cousin of mine who is a Christian Pastor in Haiti; one day he said to me “Toutou”/”Puppy” (That is my nickname”), you do know our ancestors made a pact with the devil. He said that to me in more than one occasions while I was in Haiti visiting my family and friends. He also said that Jean-Baptiste Vixamar LeGrand was the sacrifice at the Bois Caiman event of August 1791. He also believes there was also a pig sacrifice at Bois Caiman, but Vixamar was the real, historical, and most important sacrifice to Haiti’s Vodou lwa.

I have also heard from many other Haitian Christian pastors and lay people, both in Haiti and the Haitian Diaspora, that the African slaves made a pact with the devil. In fact, in 2016, my wife and I were at a Christian service (Sunday morning) at a local church in Fort Pierce (Florida) where we live. The “guest preacher” on that Sunday was a Haitian pastor from Haiti, whom I personally know. In his sermon, he declared that the Africans made a pact with the devil, and that Haitian Christians need to take Haiti back to God. The whole church shouted Amen. My wife and I looked at each other and got very angry. I wanted to leave the service at that moment, but my wife encouraged me to stay. So, I submitted to her will. Interestingly, the incident took place at a “white church” that supports this particular pastor’s work/ministry in Haiti.

I have heard the story of the “human sacrifice” at Bois Caiman from the lips of many prominent Haitian Hougan and Mambo, and Free Maxons (i.e., BILOLO KONGO, Toussaint Lova, MALOLO KABA) that the African slave “Jean-Baptiste Vixamar LeGrand” voluntarily gave himself up to be sacrificed in other for the slaves at Saint-Domingue to be free and independent. In other words, Vixamar is the “Christ” of the Bois Caiman Event or the Haitian Revolution itself. For those who are interested in the human sacrifice at Bois Caiman,

Karine Jean-Pierre (born August 13, 1974) is a Martinican-born Haitian-American political advisor who has served as the White House press secretary since May 13, 2022. She is the first Black person and the first openly LGBT person to serve in the position.

That's your religious belief, follow it if you want but dont force it on other people.

It is none of your business what gender somebody is attracted to. Our laws should not be based on religion, so stop bringing your silly religious beliefs into this matter.

If someone is gay, that is their business, if someone is straight that is their business. You dont have to personally agree with it, but you have to respect the rights of others.

In many African societies, same-sex sexuality was also believed to be a source of magical powers to guarantee bountiful crop yields and abundant hunting, good health and to ward off evil spirits. In Angola and Namibia, for instance, a caste of male diviners — known as “zvibanda,” “chibados,” “quimbanda,” gangas” and “kibambaa” — were believed to carry powerful female spirits that they would pass on to fellow men through anal sex.

The Fon people, also called Fon nu, Agadja or Dahomey, are a Gbe ethnic group.[They are the largest ethnic group in Benin found particularly in its south region; they are also found in southwest Nigeria and Togo. Their total population is estimated to be about 3,500,000 people, and they speak the Fon language, a member of the Gbe languages.

Everything begins in the supernatural world. I am a American Negro and America didn't teach me that. I learned that from Nigerians.


What is happening in Haiti is spiritual. Following false gods is unintelligent. In the long run it doesn't pan out even in the beginning black magick brings what you desire.


Forget this kind talk..

Face fact..

No God is false..

Life is all about our efforts...

The world is wia it is because humans have surrendered their fate to God's..


Every thing na intelligence...

If you read my many posts on the occult you would understand it's not education or lack of smarts that has doomed many but their pagan beliefs. Societies regress when they turn to false gods. There is only one God and the notion that you think others exist is unintelligent. I understand that all gods are valid that focus any god would send energy to manifest a desire will work yet it's only God behind all energy. God is behind all the attributes given to false gods.

Even animals get educated.. It's not a big deal..

What's have those Nigerians created, what have they invented should be the real bragging point.

Education is over rated, Truth is anybody can do it..

Nigerians still lust of University degrees cause we can't think, we are still ignorant..

What's has all the uni degrees done for Nigeria?

Oga, it's about inteligence.

Hatians just need to upgrade, that's all.

For now they are under the control of their minds and lower intelligence like most African's.
