I wanna talk about VooDoo.

This has nothing to do with the books we are supposed to be reading, but I decided to look up some things about Voodoo. I thought it was cool, aaaannnnddd Dr. Webb said it would be cool to do a little bloggy blog on it, so here I am.. Okay so,


The practicing of Voodoo is extremely old. Some say, voodoo has been around since Africa existed. It was sometimes written voudou, vodou or voudun. The words(s) itself means god creator or great spirit. People misuse the term voodoo and distort it to their diecretion with human sacrifices, vampires and devil worships. Allof that is cool to watch, but actually has nothing to do with the real practice of voodoo.
It is a life affirming practice that encourages its participants to better understand the natural processes of life and their own spiritual natures. When you look it up it is defined as an ancient religion from Africa that involves animalistic spirits and methods to communicate with them.

So, with all that. I think that voodoo is presently based on one big juicy lie. The idea of voodoo can be cool, but easily misinterpreted.
