It is the oldest knows religion of the world. It is in Africa with the human civilization.
Voodoo comes from Africa to westerns areas and then spread so fast to Asian countries. Voodoo is basically some religious faiths and beliefs. the word voodoo basically means"worship" or getting assistance from divine powers. The Voodoo comes from western African word"vodun" means spirits.

Voodoo is estimated to be almost 10000 years old. Different ethnic groups basically provide such circumstances in which the Voodoo is created. Voo and Doo are two words mean view you. In the Voodoo's there is believe that nothing and no event has life of its own. Every thing creates some effects on the other thing. According to voodoo's we are mirrors of each others. They have strong faith on their religion. Music and dance ceremonies are the main element of their culture. They named their parties as "voodoo parties" or "night dance parties". According to them by dancing they create connection with the spiritual world.

It is an important religion and it is playing an important role in community. Voodoo has also adopted some features form Christianity as well. As voodoo is one of the oldest religion of the world but it is characterized as barbaric and primitive based on superstitious belies.

I know you want to put a positive spin on Voodoo, but there is nothing "Divine" in it's source. The Africans brought in the Dark Forces to the world and what was once a Golden Age for Africa fell into ruin.

Today, Voodoo is known to kill many people still in Africa, my African friends assure me that small villages even have been wiped out by voodoo priests. Even in the Caribbean where voodoo is practiced only poverty and hardship follow.

Perhaps the real LIGHT AND SOUND OF GOD will be followed once more by those beautiful peoples and an end to Darkness will Bless them once more.

Voodoo is a very old and ancient religious system which originated from the West Africa. It is ancient system in which many old religious and ritual practices take place. This ritual also involves deities being born and honored. Voodoo is widely spread within almost every African group that comes in West Africa. However in recent times people associate voodoo rituals with the creation of Voodoo Dolls and Zombies.

Although there are reports and evidences of Zombie creation it is not associated with Voodoo magic. This falls under the 'Bokor' or sorcerer rather than the priest of Lwa. As far as the subject of Voodoo Dolls goes it has been an ancient practice and has its place in European folk magic history. The origins of sticking pin to a doll to cause pain to some one else is unknown.

50,000 years ago, African was in a Golden Age.  The Kingdom was known as HYPERBORIA.  They had a great understanding of the One GOD and the Light and Sound of GOD.  Also, they had a great grasp of math, metals, eye surgery, brain surgery, as well as,  architecture in the building of cities of gold.  The white man still wore animal skins and had stone weapons.

The seasons change.  The Hyperboreans took whites as slaves, as it conquered much of southern europe.  The white slaves learned how to smelt metal from their "Masters" and escaped back to europe.  Finally, with metal weapons the white tribes beat back the Africans, who countered and back and forth it went for centuries, until things settled down.  The blacks got Africa, the whites got Europe, the mix between the two became the Mediterranean peoples, including Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Babylonians, Hebrews, Arabs, Persians..etc.

The Black Race, at some point, turned to Dark Magic and introduced it to the world.  It was their downfall, and much of the hardship and poverty and atrocities that they have had to endure is a result of this Voodoo type magic.  Still today it is practiced and causes much harm to many people.  Perhaps oneday soon, the LIGHT OF GOD will shine for them, once more.  Blessings.

Voodoo is the controlling of one or more people by use of a doll. The doll has something of the desired persons in it somewhere. The dolls can be used to cause harm or intense urges in the person the doll lrepresents. Never proven to exist.
