the voodoo means spirit or deity was born in West Africa more precisely in benin, but is also practiced in Togo, Ghana is Burkia Faso is other neighboring countries.
the europe or american believe that voodoo is 'black magic that is' evil but it is

the fundamental bases of the voodoo religion are:
voodoo priests.
the fetishes that contain the power of the spirits.
dance music.
divination.
dances with masks.
ceremonial dances.
Animal sacrifices to give thanks to the spirits.
objects magical.
the veneration of ancestors.
