Voodooism is the oldest and still existing form of religion in Africa. It has been practiced in this area since 10,000 years ago. With all the experiences that it has gone through, it is amazing that this religion has passed all the trials that it needed to face and, at the end, still continued to exist and flourish. Its continued existence is also the reason why we still get some voodoo spells either from online and offline sources.
It is so far from what voodoo really is that practitioners will either just find humor in the misconception, or feel insulted by it.
There are still a lot various cultures which still practice these kinds of spells despite the fact that it is considered to be possibly harmful in nature. But on the other hand, other cultures consider it to be a taboo.
What Voodoo Is All About
Voodoo is about a lot of things, and not just a helter-skelter combination of odd concepts. It is a culture in its own right, with songs, story-telling traditions, dances, belief, language, medicine, art, and will even encompass the way children should be raised with the right combination of politics, religion and education.
People like Wade Davis thinks that voodoo is definitely more than just merely ideas that were collectively thought to be religious, but instead, voodoo may be considered as an idea as to how children in different cultures should be brought up, going hand in hand with the teachings that the children get as well as the politics involved.
“Vodun” is the word that voodoo comes from. It’s an African word that means spirit, and the religion is centered on their god whose name is Bondye. This belief system, which is still generally shrouded in mystery made its way to the west along with the African slave trade.
During the 16th century, the Frenchmen conquered Haiti and restricted the following of any African religion. They imposed this rule since they found voodooism as a threat to their dominion. They even punished people who were followers of the religion. However, a revolution emerged which was believed to be guided by the beliefs of their faith.
Going back in history, it was said that Africans residing in the western part of Africa brought the concept of voodoo. These people were about to be turned into slaves, and because of this, it lead to it becoming more and more popularly at the Caribbean.
In the west, the use of voodoo was not widely acknowledged and this concept was not even made public. However, even at present, voodooism is still considered to be very mysterious, and was said to have acquired certain parts of the Christians.
A true and genuine voodoo practitioner will explain to you the principles behind the spells so that you will know what to expect, and so that you will have a better understanding of how it works.
However, Haitians just blended with the different cultures and traditions that were introduced to them. Even the French beliefs and traditions did not affect much of their own creed. Because of this, voodoo spells are still present as of this time.
