THE ENTRANCE TO A SO-CALEED VAUDOUX TEMPLE: HAITI 



Every authority on Haiti agrees that vaudoux, or voodoo, worship exists there, and that 

 it is probably a survival of African fetichism. It is agreed by all authorities that now and 

 then in the frenzy of the snake dances the worshipers refuse to be content with anything 

 less than a sacrifice of the "goat without horns"- — a living child. When one of the recent- 

 presidents of the Republic was assassinated, he carried the emblems of vaudouxism next to 

 his heart, showing that the cult has existed even in the highest places.
