A virtual office for your society — your members, your ceremonies, your tradition continued.
For Vodou societies, lakou, and traditional communities — your ceremony
calendar, member registry, and service offerings, in your own space at
<sosyete>.bvn.app.
Why this matters (the problems sosyete leaders actually live with)
- Ceremony schedule lives in word-of-mouth and flyer photos. Members miss dates. New initiates have no central place to learn what's coming.
- Member tracking informal — dues, lineage, ceremonial roles uncodified. Records exist in the memory of one or two senior practitioners. When they pass, the records pass with them.
- Cultural authority depends on physical presence. No digital continuity. A sosyete with a 40-year tradition has no online address that signals the same gravity as the physical lakou.
What BVN.app does for you (solutions matched to those problems)
- Piblikasyon (Publications) — Ceremony calendar, sacred dates, and bulletins. Published once, visible to all members 24/7.
- Katalòg (Catalog) — Service offerings — consultations, ceremonies, ceremonial items — with prices in HTG and ordering via WhatsApp deeplink.
- Manm (Members) — Practitioner registry with private lineage notes (visible only to the sosyete leadership). Continuity preserved across generations.
- Salon (Showcase) — Institutional identity for your society's external presence. Cultural authority signaled through a permanent digital address.

Frequently asked questions
Who is behind BVN.app, and why does it matter for a Vodou society?
BVN.app is built by Reginald Bailly — the current Anperè Nasyonal Zantray, in the tradition founded by Herard Simon in 1986. A platform that understands the reality of Vodou societies because it comes from the same source.
Can the society share its ceremony calendar?
Yes. Every society receives its own address (<society-name>.bvn.app) where it posts the ceremony calendar, lwa anniversaries, and community activities. Members and frè-sè see everything in one place.
How does the society manage its registry of members and pitit-fanmi?
The system lets you enroll all members — hounsi, sèvitè, pitit-fanmi — with their phone numbers. You organize them by lakou, by generation, or by type of service — like a sacred registry, but digital.
Does information about tradition and lakou ties stay protected?
Yes. Only people the society designates can access member records. Each society manages its own team and access. The data belongs to the society — your tradition stays in your hands.
How much does it cost for a Vodou society?
The 3-month plan is 1,500 HTG (≈11 USD, or 500 HTG/month). The 12-month plan is 10,000 HTG (≈74 USD, or 833 HTG/month — pay 10 months, get 12). Immediate access, cash payment accepted.
