Hati. The voodoo religion was developed by tribes from Hati and Africa and when the French brought these tribes to Louisiana the slaves used their religion for a defense againt the white man. At one time the slaves were not allowed to gather together because their owners feared their beliefs. Hoodoo is different from Voodoo because it involves less formal practices. The voodoo religion is now Hati's overall religion in that country. It is very interesting to read about

I want to thankyou for asking thiis question, because I did not realize that VooDoo is now OFFICALLY a religion and the VooDoo priests can perform marriages and do what any other religious priest, pastor, preacher can do. I looked it up on the internet, I think the cradle of VooDoo over 10,000 years ago was Bein Africa. It seems it is not this terrible thing that society has dipicted it as. It also appears (to me) that VooDoo is proof of what Jesus said (that we could do the same miracles he could).
