I am Joyce, who became Abena Aborogwa, who became Gro Mambo Angélá Noványón Idizol, widely known as Gro Mambo. I often ask myself, how in the world did I get myself into Voodoo? I live a life of constant interruptions, as I am constantly possessing with the Loa. Because of my religion much of my family and friends have turned against me. I never knew that when I became a Voodoo priestess that my life would change so drastically. I lost my friends of many years. I lost members of my family that I thought would never turn their backs on me. Hell. I even lost all of my enemies. I submitted to the path that God wanted me to walk but this path of Voodoo sometimes is a lonely path. All I ever wanted in my life was to be just like everyone else with love, affection, honor, and integrity, and to be surrounded by people who would love me for what I am and not what they can get from me. As the years now come and go, I find myself with new friends, new loves and a newness in family. I have many gifts and offer them to anyone who is looking for elevations in life. My home is my sanctuary and the Loa is deep in the grounds of my Humofor. Many news media have declared LePeristyle Haitian Sanctuary the World's Voodoo Sanctuary. I never knew that my walk as a Gro Mambo (High Priestess of Haitian Voodoo) would have me appearing in National Geographic, A & E Channel, Unsolved Mysteries, Discovery, Philly-Live 35, 102 JAMZ, WRTI WDAS, Mona Magic, The Philadelphia Inquirer Magazine, Miami Herald, New Orleans Times Picayune, New York Times, El Nuevo, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, El Sol, Haiti En Marche, Philadelphia Metro, Philadelphia weekly and more.  

There are many works that are offered at my Humofor. You can find help with counseling, family counseling, drugs and alcohol rehabilitation, marriage counseling, weddings, foot washing ceremonies, alternative commitment ceremonies, love, luck, chance, removal of unnatural vibrations and agitations, removal of evil, pregnancy, spiritual baths, spiritual divinations, divination for business decisions, job and career advice, and more. 

Come visit me and through the doors of LePeristyle Haitian Sanctuary you can find help in prosperity, health, and wealth. If it can be read then there is a prescription for help.  

The above is a sneak preview to the forthcoming book by Gro Mambo, Voodoo in America.

Gro Mambo Angélá Noványón Idizol, the founder of Le Peristyle Haitian Sanctuary, as well as the National African Religion Congress (NARC World International) went to Haiti in 1977 to study the Voodoo Religion. She went into Haiti with an introductory letter to an established priestess of the native religion. After some difficulties, Mambo Angela was able to establish a relationship with a priestess from whom she began to learn about Haitian Voodoo. She finally formed a relationship with Papa Hilaire Michel Novanyon Idizol, a high priest (Gro Hungan) and founder of Le Peristyle Sanctuary, in Haiti. Following years of study, she was initiated as a priestess (Mambo). Her mission was to bring back to the United States every component of the true African religion as it evolved from former slaves of the Congo, Dahomey, Togo and native Indians of the island of Haiti. During the 10 years of work, Mambo Angélá Noványón continued to study and advance in the religion. In 1984, her name was changed to Gro Mambo Angélá Noványón Idizol, when she achieved the sattus of high priestess.

The year 2009 is governed by a power called Papa Ogu, the force of faith and strength, and a power called Papa Dumbala, the force of peace. This power of strength could not have come to the forefront at a better time. As we walk into this year there will be many issues and concerns about finances, employment, and stability, and the people will sense a desperate need to know that things will get better. But let’s take a look at what this power governs. This force is fire and its power governs finances, judicial systems, business, and business planning along with faith and strength. The force of peace is needed where there is fire. This year will bring many fires in homes and businesses… fires that will burn physically and fires that will burn spiritually.

In her new DVD, Gro Mambo Angélá Noványón Idizol invites you to join her on an insightful journey through the year month by month. As she takes you through the year, you will gain understanding about how to work with the power of faith to your advantage and wisdom regarding how to use the force of peace to help put out the fires that burn in our everyday lives.
