24592: Wilcken (request): Ezili Danto and Djouba



Lois E. Wilcken <makandal-ny@juno.com>

Can anyone shed light on the roots of the Djouba nation in Vodou? Researchers place Djouba variously in the Rada or Petwo branches--when
they place it at all.

Is the "Dantò" in Èzili Dantò derived from Zandò?  And is Zandò truly a
fongbe term for spirits that travel in the night?
