Answer 1

Vodou is a religion. The religion acknolwedges one God called
Bondye. It is also about honoring your ancestors. They are your blood and you would not be here they had not perservered and continued the bloodline. It is also about serving the lwa. the lwa are similar to saints or angels. They are the ones you call for help because Bondye is so distant from us. Bondye is the supreme being after all. In Vodou the community plays a big part. All the food cooked and prepared for the lwa are comsumed not just by the house memebers but also by the community (guests and friends). In Haiti when a fet (service) happens everyone comes by because they know they will be fed.

Hoodoo is a magical system. It is African American folk magic. The main practice focuses on uses herb, roots, flowers, and stones (natural objects) to bring about an intended change. This type of magic was very popular among creole people in LA. Hoodoo is all about sympathetic magic in other words like atrracts like.

You being a witch has nothing to do with Vodou or Hoodoo. I was a solitary witch for years before I started practicing Vodou as a religion. I never had a religion before then. I only practiced folk magic. I like to use Hoodoo and other types of folk magic as my basis for spellwork.

If you want to learn about Hoodoo http://www.luckymojo.com/ has very good information about it. Cat the owner also offers a correspsondence class in Hoodoo.

I am also going to refer you to the website of the house I belong to so you read a little more about what Vodou is. http://sosyetedumarche.com/Vodou_Info/vodou_info.html
Browse through the different articles written by a Mambo.

Oh yeah you dont need to believe in it for it to work. I ws a skeptic until I was heal by the lwa without even asking!!!!

Answer 2

Voodoo (or Voudou) is a religion involving Ancestor Worship.

Hoodoo is folk magick.

You cannot be a "natural Witch" any more than you could be a "natural Christian".

Witch
The practice of witchcraft is not associated with any religion, therefore you can be a witch and yet also be a member of any number of religions (or none). Using the natural energies within yourself, along with the energies of herbs, stones or other elements to make changes around you is considered witchcraft. Though the skills and gifts that are part of witchcraft can be inherited from parents or grandparents, you aren't automatically a witch just because your grandmother may have been one. The use of magick takes practice, experience and learning. On a side note, a male witch is called a witch, not a warlock.

Voodoo (Vodou, Vodoun, Vudu, or Vudun in Benin, Togo, southeastern Ghana, Burkina Faso, and Senegal; also Vodou in Haiti) is a name attributed to a traditionally unwritten West African spiritual system of faith and ritual practices. Like all faith systems, the core functions of Voodoo are to explain the forces of the universe, influence those forces, and influence human behavior. Oral tradition creates continuity of the faith stories including genealogy, history and fables. Deities are honored along with the veneration of ancient and recent ancestors. This faith system is widespread across groups in West Africa. Diaspora spread Voodoo to North and South America and the Caribbean.


Hoodoo refers to African traditional folk magic. A rich magical tradition which was (for thousands of years), indigenous to ancient African botanical, magio-religious practices and folk cultures, its practice was imported when mainly West Africans were enslaved and brought to the United States.

Hoodoo is used as a noun and is derived from the Ewe word Hudu which still exists today. Hoodoo is often used in African-American vernacular to describe a magic "spell" or potion, or as a descriptor for a practitioner (hoodoo doctor, hoodoo man or hoodoo woman), or as an adjective or verb depending upon context. The word can be dated at least as early as 1891.* Some prefer the term hoodooism, but this has mostly fallen out of use. Some "New Age" non-Diaspora practitioners who have taken up Hoodoo as a hobby employ synonyms, including conjuration, conjure, witchcraft, or rootwork. The latter demonstrates the importance of various roots in the making of charms and casting spells. It is important to note that in traditional African religious culture, the concept of "spells" is not used. Here again, this Afro-botanical practice has been heavily used by the New Age, and Wiccan communities who have little understanding of "Hoodoo's" spiritual significance as it is traditionally used in Africa. An amulet characteristic of hoodoo is the mojo, often called a mojo bag, mojo hand, conjure bag, trick bag, or toby; this is a small sack filled with herbs, roots, coins, sometimes a lodestone, and various other objects of magical power.

An earlier attestation dates from 1863. A Confederate infantryman, wounded in the failed assault against Union-held Helena, Arkansas on 4 July, said, "Since that day at Helena I tell the boys I would rather buck against a hoodoo than try to down old Glory on the Fourth of July." Barring a radically different meaning of "hoodoo," the reference seems to be to trying to beat a curse (as being preferable to refighting the Battle of Helena). [citations needed]

Answer 5

Nothing that has to do with sorcery or witchcraft works for you, it only works against you. God is the type that does not like to be provoked to anger when it comes to things as such. He wants that you be still and wait for the Christ within you to reveal the truth in all things through him and you shall be well. It will harm you because the first thing you might do is get deeper and deeper into practicing that kind of stuff and in the end you get nothing out of it. Then you feel like in order to get things done or go about finding out things is through practicing your religion but it always backfires, so take my word for it be careful and be still, if you want any answers take it in prayer and God shall direct your way.

God Bless you My sister.
