Talk:Mfinda

Sacrificial, self-unaliving in “finda”?

This entry mentions that the ‘finda (US or Caribbean sacred forest space utilized by enslaved/diasporic Kongo Nganga/ Voodoo practitioners)was a place of power and sorrow due to the sacrificial unaliving enacted by practitioners in order to seed their blood and connection to the land so that their relatives and descendants could access right relationships with the land. I was just wondering about the source of this claim? 2601:14D:4A83:B5C0:D05B:3B69:1F3B:B717 (talk) 17:12, 25 October 2023 (UTC)

I'm just now seeing your response. But that specific claim isn't about the Caribbean diaspora nor Voodoo. It's specifically a belief in Hoodoo tradition in the southern United States, which is practiced by Black Americans. The sources are cited in the article. Is there a specific question that you had about the sources? MiddleOfAfrica (talk) 22:59, 18 August 2025 (UTC)
