I'm fairly ignorant of vodou, but heres some avenues I can see:
- the aspect of not having immediate access to the ultimate divine, and thus working through intermediaries reminds me of neoplatonism and the great chain of being. This neoplatonic influence on christianity (Angels, archangels, etc.) Also fits nicely.
- the dances used to get into a trance and contact the lwa reminds me of the sufi dances for spirituality (pic related).
- theres already the syncretism of catholicism and vodou which would make the trad work on catholicism applicable to some degree.
- the trad work on american indian religion shows a precedent for indigenous religion, if were talking about vodun.
