Vodou is a religion in Haiti that is practiced by 90% of the people -mostly the poor working class. The religion is a mixture of Catholicism and old African religions and is still practiced today. Vodou/Voodoo is not the practice you see in the movies. Like any other religion it has its mystical elements and attempts to make sense of the good and evil in the world.
The Marassa are divine twins from voodoo mythology. They are the oldest and most ancient of the Loa, or spirits, They are androgynous beings, being describe as either both male and female at the same times, or as taking the form of males or the form of females interchangeably.
