      Great. But their spiritual practices and yours are both false. No matter the wrong they did to your ancestors, doesn't make your ancestors' falsehoods suddenly true... We have a method that explains the causes and effects of molecules such as pharmodynamics and pharmokinetics known as the scientific method. Voodoo doesn't, nor does Christianity. Follow facts and science. Not some mythical belief with no basis in reality (and having a basis in herbology doesn't prove the false belief system either).

    Hoodoo voodoo that you do! This explanation is truly captivating and brings such depth to the understanding of Voodoo. It’s rare and inspiring to witness Voodoo depicted as a lifestyle woven with threads of nature, ancestry, and sacred connections, moving far beyond the usual misunderstandings. The way you describe plants and their spirits adds layers of meaning to natural healing and medicine, sparking an entirely new appreciation. Thank you for unveiling these insights and broadening how we perceive such ancient wisdom!

It’s Hoodoo, Ifa, Lucumi, Nkisi, Santaria, Candomble - it’s a paradigm shift entirely, since 2016 exactly so if the goal is to keep up with Black spiritual trends - this article is behind the ball.

    I'm interested in hearing about the perspective I read toted, that voodoo is a closed practice, but when painted in this broader sense shown, it seems no different from any ancestral spiritual practice around the world, making offerings and honoring ancestors, this is done in pre-abrahamic spiritualities all over the world. So my question is: is voodoo a specific kind of closed practice, or is it just a word to describe the ancestral spirituality practiced by a specific group of people? If people in Peru, Ireland, or Japan honor their ancestors in such similar manners, is it really any different? Only using different herbs, different rituals, different names, but the meaning is the same at all of their core. I only say this to say, all people on earth share this common relation if we go back far enough to our roots, before the colonialism and brainwashing of missionaries around the world.
