Bizzare is a relative term. What you may consider odd, other cultures will think perfectly normal.\n\nPersonally, I think the most different cultural belief I've ever seen was Deshnoke, India's worship of rats. They believe the rats will be holymen in their next life.  There was a special on the travel channel or national geographic not far back where they showed people worshipping the rats, sharing their bowls of milk and grain DIRECTLY with them as it was thought to be 1)holy, 2)a healing method.

I can not supply you with the information you require because without knowledge and experience of what you are doing this can be a dangerous thing. What I am giving you is information that may lead to a better understanding of 'Voodoo' instead. These are note from a previous answer I gave.:\n\nFor too many, the word “voodoo” conjures up some wild images. Weird curses involving bones and pins stuck in poppets. Secret societies making sacrifices to their demonic gods. Evil priests raising zombies. Media has given us a sensational but unrealistic view of the vodoun religion. Although some of these are mildly accurate (sacrifice, animal bones and voodoo dolls) they are but a small part of the religion that is practiced today. Just as in Wicca, the vodoun make charms and create spells for money, health, etc. In fact because of the images associated with this word, most practitioners prefer the term Vodou. Although media would have us believe the vodoun are strictly in it for self-gain, that’s not true. According to Vodou belief, magic shouldn’t be employed for selfish gain, especially if it would hurt someone else.\n\nVodou came form the tribal practices and beliefs of the slaves who were brought to Haiti from West Africa. In the 17th century, slaves bound for the West Indies were taken from over 100 different African ethnic groups. The beliefs and customs of all these groups combined to form Vodou. The two groups who had the greatest influence were the Fon and the Yoruba.\n\nThe most important religious practice was ancestor worship. By remembering their ancestors and passing down their knowledge from generation to generation ensuring that their religious traditions would live on.\n\nThe Fon believed in hundreds of immortal spirits called vodu. Because the people had personal relationships with the spirits, they needed to communicate with the vodu. Ritual enabled them to talk to the spirits. The most important elements of the tribal rituals were…\n- dancing, drumming and chanting to communicate with the spirits\n- animal sacrifices made as offerings to the spirits\n- a priest or priestess who interpreted messages from the spirits\n- possession of the bodies of participants in ritual by the spirits.\n\nThe main purpose of the ritual was to communicate with the vodu and receive their guidance in making important decisions. They did this by communicating indirectly with the spirits via the priest/priestess to help their followers determine who their personal vodu were and to interpret the messages for them.\nPriests and priestesses were chosen for their ability to connect with the spirits. They were said to have inherited this talent from their mothers or fathers. They were “born into priesthood”.\n\nPriests became the religious and community leaders of the slaves. Any rebellious priest was usually sold to prevent them from “sowing the seeds of dissent” in that empire. \n\nThese religious practices continue to thrive today for modern day Benin. Vodoun is the official religion. It is also the dominant religion in Togo and southwest Ghana.\n\nAs in every religion, there are those who use it for wrong. With any religion that deals with magic it is said these wrongful users practice black magic. Although legitimate priests and priestesses are taught both the good and the bad, they take an oath upon initiation not to cause harm to others.\n\nThe lwa most likely to assit in black magic are : Kalfou, Ezili Danto’, Marinette, Bosou, Ti-jean-petio, Maman Brijit, Ge’de’- Nibo, and Baron Krimine’l.\n\nOnce a priest/priestess begins to practice black magic, they are known as a bo’ko’. A bo’ko’ has no temple or devotees and does all his/her rituals in secret. Bo’ko’ are said to serve the lwa with both hands because they practice both white and black magic. When a bo’ko’ buys the powers of one of the dark lwa, he’she must pay a high price, usually life-long service to the lwa. This pact between t

Here is a website that tells about how different wedding traditions of various cultures:\n\nhttp://www.vfwpost1503.org/different_cultures.htm\n\nHere are Valentine's Day traditions from different countries:\n\nhttp://www.stvalentines.net/traditions.htm\nhttp://www.romanceclass.com/miscr/vday/traditions.asp\nhttp://www.internet-at-work.com/hos_mcgrane/holidays/2_melissa.html\nhttp://www.romanceeverafter.com/valentine's_day_around_the_world.htm\nhttp://www.everythingvalentinesday.com/valentine-day-traditions/valentine-in-others.html\n\nSince most countries observe Valentine's Day~this was the best place to look for celebrations of love in other cultures.  I hope this was helpful in your research!

There is a good collection of Pagan symbols on Google Images. Lots of good historic books in the library, look at American Folk Magic. I hope your class work is positive, young people should be introduced to the old religions and rituals.

It's funny you asked that.  My girlfriend and I were discussing last night what we and our friends will be doing for Yule this year.\nWe always get together at one or the other's house and do a ritual that is kid as well as non pagan friendly because we usually have family and/or friends in attendance who are not pagans.  And of course we eat... a lot.\nI was just about to do a little research and start working on our ritual.  Thanks for reminding me...

Santeria is interesting stuff, i am not fluent in spanish, so i could only pick up a little at the local botanica.  But trance possession by the Orisha is some pretty intense stuff! It is NOT mumbojumbo... it is a real way to connect with the divinity and with the ancestors, once you are "ridden" you will understand what i am talking about....

I know nothing about the culture, but encountered these articles which seem to be comprehensive.  Thought I'd share them with you:

Wow, that is a huge topic.  I suppose you could find some general things, but each region probably has its own unique background.  Try doing a websearch on a certain region or tribe and "history or religion"

Sounds like your trying to have someone else do your homework, well, I am bored enough so here goes\n\nTourism is the economic and cultural exchange conducted by foreigners visitors.\n\nPros: Money or economic revenue.\nEconomic Growth.\nFunds and necessitates preservation of cultural and historic sites and artworks.\nMakes a place famous and thus puts it "on the map"\nValidates a culture as rich, interesting, and valued\nOften leads to further economic ties. Business ventures.\nFunds new civic projects.\n\nCons:Exploits natural resources for outsiders.\nCreates a population of local service workers (hotels, restaurants,) who sometimes become second-class to the tourists and dependent on them for a livilyhood.\nObjectivies a group of people for entertainment, amusement or study (like African Bushmen...Masaii Warriors)\nTheft of cultural artifacts (Stonehenge, Tribal Masks, Ancestral Artifacts, Human Remains)\nCreates a stereotyped culture geared toward tourists (Hawai'i)\nProstitution (Your teacher may not like that but I've been to 5 continents and that is a REAL serious problem that should be addressed.)\nDrugs and Crime (Muggings) as well.\nLocals can't afford to live in their own communities (Aspen, Colorado, Providence Town, Mass.)\nSilly Tourists commit cultural faux pas that aggrivate the locals.\n(Although tourism does lead to social exchange and understanding +++)\n\n\nGood Luck with your Homework.
