Learn the secrets of how to voodoo

Voodoo emerged in West Sahara and is constructed on African ideology from Nigeria, Benin, and Togo everywhere the Yobura people dwell. The word Voodoo is derived the west African word, “Vodun,” meaning “phantom.”
Voodoo worshipers have faith in one God. Devotees are in touch with God with the help of the Loa, (spirits.) The Loa are to Voodoo what the Saints mean to Catholics. The Loa are duty-bound for everyday experiences in life. The 1700 & 1800’s brought numberless slaves from Africa to the Caribbean islands to work on cotten plantations. The slaves brought along their vodu and traditions. Ceremonies were constructed of communal song, drumming, dancing, chanting, and the sacrifice of creatures. Plantation owners pictured them to be savages and attempted to Christianize the slaves. Being that there were many similarities between the religions, Catholicism was worked into the Voodoo practice. The 1700’s saw the arrival of enslavement, along with the slaves’ religion of vodu, to New Orleans. Over many years, Voodoo in Louisiana changed and evolved to what is now known as “Louisiana Voodoo.”
