Voodoo ceremonies do not take place on a weekly basis, like Catholic mass
or a Jewish Shabbat service.
A voodoo practitioner can request a ritual meeting with a priest or priestess but,
more often, ritual ceremonies mark holidays.
Practitioners hope to connect with deceased ancestors through a series of songs
and prayers.
During the singing and drumming, they aim to become possessed by voodoo spirits.
