Spiritual Dictionary on Voodoo
Voodoo: Voodoo is both a corruption of the African Fon word 'Vodou' (which means 'spirit' or 'mystery') and now a powerful spiritual tradition in its own right, most associated with New Orleans and the American South. Voodoo travelled from Africa in the hearts and souls of Africans who were transported to the Americas during the slave trade. There it became blended with the spiritual practices of the indigenous peoples, who often had a shamanic or animistic belief system, and with the Catholic religion of the slave owners. It recognises one creator-god and a pantheon of angel-like spirits (called Loa) who work on his behalf. The ancestors are a third spiritual force. All of these spirits may be appealed to for practical help, advice, and support, through prayer, divination and magic.

Famous names associated with New Orleans Voodoo include Marie Laveau and Dr. John. (See also: Voodoo, Magic, Shamanism, Paganism, Wicca)
