Culture
Haiti has a lasting and unique cultural identity, blending traditional French and African customs, mixed with sizable acquirements from the Spanish and indigenous Taíno cultures.
Magical Culture
Vodou and necromancy are practised in the country.
Haitian vodou and the voodoo which was practiced in the Americas are much different- much more sensationalized and less truthful, as many who were not magical claimed to be able to make magic happen from it.
