Portrait of the elderly priest of the Temple of Thunder (Benin)

The Thunder Temple is a sacred place devoted to Hevioso, the powerful god of thunder, justice, and fertility in Vodun tradition.
Known as the bringer of storms and balance, Hevioso's might is said to strike like lightning, both metaphorically and literally.
In this spiritual practice, those struck by lightning are considered to have been directly touched by the god. Some believe it is a sign of punishment, while others see it as a divine calling.
The Thunder Temple is not just a place of worship; it’s a gateway to understanding the Vodun belief system, where nature’s fury is seen as sacred and life is deeply intertwined with the elements.
