Vodou Workshops 16th-20th September

Sent: 2008-08-18 19:10:01

Hi folks,

I've received information about these upcoming workshops on the Vodou tradition, and thought you might be interested. Houngan Hector comes highly recommended.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
In September 2008 Houngan Hector is traveling to the UK (Cardiff/Bristol/London) to provide workshops in 'Vodou
101', 'Vodou Magic', 'Haitian Vodou'
and 'Serving the Rada Lwa' - none of which should be missed! He
will also be available for consultations and spiritual baths at that time. Places are limited, so please book
early to avoid disappointment. You can find out more about Houngan Hector at his website: ezilikonnen.com.
To book a place or obtain further info, e-mail sophia@baronsmagic.co.uk or telephone +44 (0)1446 774181
between the hours of 12-3pm!
