Here is a picture of Haiti Voodoo Flag, the focal point before the possession takes place.

Haitian Vodou flags are meant to shine and dazzle, and they do so mainly with the aid of the bright colors, beads and sequins used in their production. According to museum curator Nezka Pfeifer, the flags have this property mainly to facilitate meditation that allows possession to occur.

Despite their place now on walls primarily for their aesthetic beauty, the true purpose of these flags revolved around Vodou rituals. All the images and symbols are used, blended together to create a hypnotic, glistening mesmeric visage.
