● Customs, beliefs, sacred spaces, and ritual objects
● Characteristics and behaviors of the Lwa, the spirits served by Vodou practitioners
● Common misconceptions such as "voodoo dolls" and the zombie phenomenon
● Questions and answers for attending ceremonies and getting involved in a sosyete (Vodou house)
