Mambo Chita Tann’s Haitian Vodou community and post-earthquake ethnography

Record summary

Mambo Chita Tann is a named contemporary Vodou priestess and author whose work documents ritual practice, initiatory authority, lwa relationships, healing, and diaspora transmission. Her publications and community activities provide a traceable lead for studying how Haitian Vodou is represented by practitioners after the 2010 earthquake and through transnational networks. The material is especially useful for comparing insider theology with academic ethnography and popular occult publishing. Her accounts should be identified as practitioner testimony and religious instruction, not as neutral verification of spirit beings or ritual efficacy.
