ZAGALO is built around one idea: Strong roots create strong people. Everything taught here falls into five living pillars. I. Language of the Ancestors Language shapes how you think and how you see the world. Here we learn: • Haitian Creole (from beginner to fluent) • French (practical and cultural, not textbook) • Proverbs, spiritual phrases, and hidden meanings • How language carries history and power If you can speak the language of your people, you can’t be erased. II. Spiritual Literacy Not belief — understanding. Here we study: • What Vodou actually is (and what it isn’t) • The Lwa and their meanings • Ritual, prayer, and ancestral respect • Spiritual hygiene, protection, and grounding This pillar is about learning how spirit and energy move — without fear or fantasy. III. Culture & History If you don’t know where you come from, you don’t know where you’re going. Here we cover: • Haitian, African, and Caribbean history • Hidden stories not taught in schools • Music, art, symbols, and traditions • How colonization shaped our minds This is where identity gets rebuilt. IV. Mind, Discipline & Sovereignty Freedom starts in the mind. Here we train: • Mental clarity and emotional control • Self-discipline and consistency • Breaking mental slavery and dependency • How to think, not what to think This pillar turns knowledge into power. V. Real-World Skill & Legacy Knowledge must feed your life. Here we teach: • How to build income and independence • Community building • Protecting your family and future • Turning culture into something sustainable This is how roots become legacy. ZAGALO is not about escaping the world. It’s about moving through it with awareness, strength, and dignity. If you walk this roadmap, you don’t just learn — you become.

ZAGALO is a house of learning, not a place for noise. Everyone here is both a student and a teacher. 1. Respect the roots The cultures, languages, and spiritual systems shared here are not entertainment. Vodou, Creole, African and Caribbean traditions are treated with dignity, not mockery or fear-based myths. 2. No lazy minds If you ask a question, be willing to learn. If you give an answer, give it with honesty. We don’t come here to argue — we come here to sharpen each other. 3. No ego, no clowning This is not a space for flexing, trolling, or trying to look smarter than others. ZAGALO rewards humility, curiosity, and discipline. 4. What’s shared here is respected Personal stories, spiritual experiences, or cultural knowledge shared in this house are not to be ridiculed, leaked, or weaponized. 5. We build, not consume ZAGALO is not about scrolling. You’re encouraged to contribute — lessons, questions, translations, insights, or real-life skills. 6. Protect the energy Racism, spiritual disrespect, hate, or predatory behavior gets removed. This is a protected space. 7. Legacy over clout Everything here should help you become stronger, wiser, and more rooted — for yourself and for the people who come after you. ZAGALO is not a trend. It’s a house. Move accordingly.
