      @@ronnielynnlamb5672 The Legendborn Cycle is an ongoing trilogy (only two of which are out at the moment) of YA urban fantasy. The Protagonist is a black teenage girl who finds herself in the initiation process of an old boys club on a college campus in North Carolina. It deals a lot with the generational aftereffects of the history of race in America, especially how different people utilize magic. Most of the Black Practitioners are known as "Rootcrafters" and they tend to refer to magical energy as "Root" where their white counterparts refer to it as "Ether." This video was able to to show me that the practices in the book were based on real practices more than I had initially realized.

    I'm glad I actually grew up in the culture and know how to fact check for myself. How is hoodoo not a religion, yet you say it's practiced alongside a religion? How is Vodun not focused on the natural world when most of the lwa have an elemental nature? There is NO way this information was gathered or researched from an actual vodousaint or rootworker.
    I get sicka the commercialization of it all. The real question is why do we still need these type of practices, here in the U.S. today, a "developed" country? Hoodoo developed from something not mentioned in the clip OR the full video. Vodun has always existed tho...

For anyone reading this, know that BOTH Hoodoo and Vodun (in they're true forms) are closed practices to people who are not of African descent. And also closed off from the descendant who would help "the man" enslave us. This is why Haitian Vodun exist AND its cousin Hoodoo. Whether the hoodoo, comes from the Bayou, the Delta, the Ozarks, Appalachia, etc... it's main purpose has ALWAYS been liberation, healing, and protection from dwights.

      Vodun is a way of life. You live it everyday you wake up. With research which I have done for years as well as asked family who has practiced wayyyyyy before I was here. Hoodoo is more so "work" spells etc. Take it how you want to take it but how you live ot is just that ....HOW YOU live it. My ancestors didn't practice the same way your did or the next person. So you can't say what is true and not truth or how someone should do this and that. I learnt from my ancestors and will stick to that as you should with yours

    I disagree with some
    parts of this explanation/ differentiation. 1st being that voudun is an _African American_ spiritual practice. Which mostly, it is not. Secondly, voudun is not centered around the _worshipping_ of the lwa but encompasses elements of herbalism, natural altruistic healing & alchemy along with building a relationship to the lwa. While building relationship to the lwa are important many people practice without devotion to the lwa. Also, many who practice still have a relationship to god/the catholic church- but many also don't.

The grandmothers taught VALUES before they even initiated a young girl into spiritual teachings. She had to learn guidance in patience, temperance, observing things around her, responsibility in taking care of things and denying herself things she may want. It’s not about just what you want but what’s best for your Community.

      "Vo" means Free and "Du" means a nation or a people in the Evwheh and Fon languages in Ghana, Togo, Benin and the south-western part of Nigeria.
      Evoa? means are you free? Vovoli, means there's freedom or Liberty.
      These words are part of the living words in the day to day language of the living people of West Africa.
      Amerika dua means the people of the nation of Amerika.
      Now adding the two words together becomes VODU .
      VoDu brings liberation and freedom through the harnessing of life forces in herbs , living animals and elements within one's environment.
      Cooking with herbs is VoDu, using herbs to heal ailments is VoDu.
      Invoking metal and the air and the water elements to empower you through using and eating some selected herbs and saying of words that have the right "frequency" to the wind or the metal in "GU" is enough to be battle ready as done in Haiti.
      VoDu is a way of life by living a balanced life with nature for example, there are days the people do not go to the river or the forest so these elements can regain their potents and there are days that there shouldn't be noise making. There are over 37 laws to follow as well .
      No wonder your western church and its military wing Hollywood gave a bad name to VoDu as "vooodooo".
