Bokor refers to a male Vodou priest or priestess for hire located in Haiti. These practitioners are known as bokors (males) or caplatas (females), and they are said to serve the loa, performing rituals that can be used for both good and evil purposes.
The practice of a bokor includes the creation of zombies and ouangas. They operate within the framework of Vodou, a spiritual system where these figures may be hired to perform specific services or rites.
