What is Voodoo?

In: Voodoo and Santeria [Edit categories]

Answer:

Like any other religion, Voodoo brings great benefits. Participation in Voodoo ritual reaffirms one's relationship with ancestoral history, community relationships and the cosmos. Voodoo is a way of life. For those it touches, it is impossible to define. Many would simply state "Voodoo is a beautiful religion" and, while true, it is far more than that. Voodoo is religion, culture, heritage, and philosophy. It is also art, dance, language, medicine, music, justice, power, storytelling and ritual.
