The Truth About Voodoo

"Are these Voodoo dolls?"
"I don't want to get mixed up in no Voodoo"

If we had a dime for every time we heard that question, we would be filthy rich! The truth is, the superstition known as Voodoo quite simply does not exist. It is a figment of our imaginations, created by Hollywood hack writers solely for our entertainment.

More correctly, Vodun is a religion based loosely on several West African spiritual beliefs. It was born directly from western slavery and boasts a worldwide following of over 50 million.

Does Vodun involve evil spirits? Yes. Does Vodun involve GOOD spirits? Yes. Just as Christianity has its witches, so too does Vodun involve humans who perform evil deeds. Just as Christianity has its saints, so too does Vodun have its spiritual leaders.
