African Traditional Religions and Afro-magick Twenty Years Post- Henge

Abstract: The online world of African Traditional Religions (ATRs) and Afro-Magick has expanded and undergone numerous changes in the twenty years since Douglas E. Cowan first published the groundbreaking work Cyberhenge . I began both my study and practice of the African Traditional Religions of Vodou and Voodoo in the early 1990s, while I also embraced the magic of cyberspace from the very beginning. In the decades since I have seen many innovations and catastrophes related to the religions of Vodou in Haiti and Benin and Voodoo in New Orleans, some of which I analyze in this Forum contribution, coming from my perspective as an engaged Priestess, teacher, and community member.
