Is Voodoo good or evil? If you have heard of Marie Laveau, was she a good or evil person?

Answer 1

VooDoo is a legitimate religion. It's just been made out to be some sort of evil satanic belief through Hollywood and misunderstanding of the religion as a whole.

Marie Laveau...? Is that the "White Witch"? If so her story is an exception. She used her understanding of Voodoo to scare and control her servants. Basically turningthem into slaves for her own amusement. Anyone who does that is evil at heart.

Edit: Confused Marie Laveau with Annie Palmer. Thought you were asking about her because for all intents and purposes she was an evil plantation owner in Jamaica. No, Marie Laveau was not evil. She was a genuine practitioner of Voodoo in New Orleans a long time ago. Go to the link provided.

Answer 2

voodoo is a religion and marie laveau was a practitioner of it.

like any other religion you'd have to understand enough of it and how it affects you to decide if the practitioners of it are good or evil.

good and evil are absolutes and elementary. vary other paths view the world differently and are not locked into simplistic ways of looking at the cosmos. voodoo is one of them.

Answer 4

Hello I dont know you and you dont know me but it depends whether your looking from your own perspective or God's perspective. I dont care if you are a beliver or not, I beg you if you are even thinking about trying that stuff don't. It will attract God's wrath and with his wrath comes frightening curses. My dad used to go to a "root man" a person who conjures up voodoo spells when he was alive. He did bad things to the family he would put curses on us. He wound up being possessed because the driving forces that make voodoo effective are demonic. It was scary he used to try to hurt me while I was sleeping he even tried to kill my mom and we had to stop him. Anyway before my dad died he went through this crazy period of paranoia and insomnia he was afraid to die. Eventhough it is natural to be afraid to die his case was weird. At night he would play gospel music and through the night he constantly read the holy bible he would also keep the night light on I guess in an attempt to ward of the dark forces he used to summon to do his bidding. He couldn't sleep Isaiah 48:22 says"There is no peace for the wicked." Even on the verge of death my 60 year old dad had no peace.The Apostle Paul wrote in "Do not be decieved God is not mocked" "A man reaps what he sows the man who sows to please his sinful nature will from that nature will reap destruction. The one who sows to please the Spirit from the Spirit will reap everlasting life". Satan main purpose is to destroy mankind physically and spiritually if you summon those things you will be under the same curse that God has set against them its a little hard to explain it all. If demons are real then that means God is real and that he is.
As far as the lady goes I dont know only He can say if she was evil or not.
