Voodoo

Voodoo, also known as Vodou or Vodun, is a spiritual and religious tradition originating from West Africa, particularly among the Yoruba people, and has evolved in the Caribbean and Louisiana. It involves a belief in a supreme God, along with a pantheon of spirits or ancestors called loa or lwa, who influence various aspects of life. Practitioners engage in rituals, ceremonies, music, and dance to honor these spirits, seek guidance, and promote healing. Voodoo is often misunderstood due to sensationalized portrayals, but it is a meaningful spiritual practice rooted in community, tradition, and a connection to the divine through spiritual intermediaries.
