Wanga is a collection of religious beliefs stemming from the slave communities of the Caribbean (including Voudun). Also, the term applied to the schools of sorcery that stem from these religions.[1] It is a relatively rare form of blood sorcery practiced by vampires in the Caribbean (particularly Haiti) and Africa. Though rumored to have originated with the Samedi bloodline, modern Wanga is wielded with great prominence among the Serpents of Light.
Due to its religious themes, the source material draws distinct similarities to the Voudoun paradigm practiced by the Samedi. The source material notes that the Serpents of Light are immune to being mounted by Baron Samedi, which seems to imply that, though Wanga is somewhat separate from Voudun Necromancy, its concepts are very similar - including the danger of Baron Samedi mounting, harassing and molesting its practitioners.
