Welcome to the website for La Sosyete Carrefour Sacre. We are one of many daughter houses that make up La Sosyete Belle Fleur Ginen. We are a Haitian Vodou house located in the United States with members in Texas, Illinois, New Jersey, New York, and Port-au-Prince, Haiti.  Whether  you are looking for spiritual assistance, Vodou initiation (kanzo), or just browsing, we would love to welcome you to our website, if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask! Be sure to look at our "Vodou Articles" for more information about the tradition! We are always more than willing to help those people with a sincere heart who are seeking to serve the lwa and Ginen. 

Salut! My name is Houngan Dylan Nathair, and I am the head of La Sosyete Carrefour Sacre.  Growing up in the southern United States in a New Orleanian family I was exposed to African diasporic beliefs and customs from the time I was a young child. As a young boy I can remember reading a book entitled "Gumbo Ya-Ya". This was the book that sparked my interest in Vodou. I used to sit down for hours trying to memorize the various charms and rituals listed in the book. As a young adult I attended University and earned my Baccalaureate of Science and eventually my Master of Arts in Sociocultural Anthropology. While working on my Master's Degree I conducted field research in Haiti and wrote my M.A. thesis on spirit possession.

After growing up in a family that often spoke of "Voodoo" and even used traditional remedies from time-to-time, I decided to travel to Haiti to become initiated into Haitian Vodou. In 2002 I traveled to Haiti and was initiated as a Houngan asogwe by Bon Houngan Dye ki Don (honor to him!). However, after working with Houngans and Mambos in Jacmel Haiti for almost two years I decided I wanted to explore the Vodou of Port-au-Prince. And in 2005 I reaffirmed my vows to God, the lwa, and to Ginen and took my asson a second time from Mambo Marie (honor to her!) in Port-au-Prince, Haiti.

After taking my asson for the second time, this time from Mambo Marie, I began working to provide clean and safe accommodations in Port-au-Prince for those people who didn't live in Haiti and wanted to become an authentic Houngan or Mambo. After securing a wonderful home in Petionville and an amazing Peristyle in Port-au-Prince we started taking our would-be children to Haiti for the kanzo ceremony. Assuming the political situation in Haiti is safe we strive to take people to Haiti twice a year to undergo the initiation ceremony and become Houngans and Mambos!

I would like to once again welcome you  to our website. If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions please don't hesitate to contact us here at La Sosyete Carrefour Sacre, we would love to hear from you!
