So much culture resulted from the slave trade and it’s such a complex topic. I’m Brazilian and there, the confusion is between Umbanda, Candomblé, and Kimbanda. And then there’s the term macumba, which is not even a religion, it’s just a derogatory term used to describe a practitioner, but over time the word has morphed into its own thing. There is so much we owe to the African race, all the culture, and the world as we know it wouldn’t be without be without the first ancestors. We (non African Americans) should honor and show some respect to this beautiful race because without them, we would not be standing here today! Just my two cents. Much love to you!

I feel because of the secrecy, the generations down the line don’t have a clue about healing, building generational success, or just plain ole abundance in all we do. Look at the Asian population.... those are successful people and we know what they worship and we see there money alters at their place of business.

Why not the 'evil' label there instead of to a person thinking of using non traditional religions to keep their family safe and fed?

Not exactly. Vodou, in all its forms, also deals with the ancestors (as all African and African influenced spiritual traditions do), plants, and animals too. Most of our non-Abrahamic spiritual traditions do so. In fact, Vodou has an entire class of spirits dedicated to the dead, the cemetery, and all things with regard to them. Both Hoodoo and Voodoo are both African influenced, they just have different roots when it comes to the ethnic groups that they respectively originate. Hoodoo can deal with spirits as well and isn't a monolithic, uniform practice that was/is done the same way everywhere. But also we have to remember that mainland African Vodou (as still practiced today by Fon and Ewe peoples in Benin and Togo) is a 10,000 year old religion. What this video is more so referring to are the offshoots of Vodou that survived the Transatlantic Slave Trade in places like Haiti (Haitian Vodou), Dominican Republic (Dominican Vudu/21 Divisions/Los Misterios), and Cuba (Vodu). These Afro-Caribbean children of pre-slavery Vodou are similar to mainland African Vodou but have incorporated different/additional elements, such as the spirits of other African ethnic groups, such as the Kongo, Yoruba, and even Christian and Native American spirits. The ancestors and the lwa have a prominent place in Vodou for sure. The orishas, however, are from a completely different religion altogether, being that of the Yoruba peoples who are mostly located in what is today Nigeria. Their religion survived slavery the most in tact in Cuba (Lucumi-Santeria), Trinidad, Brazil (Candomble Ketu), and even influenced Hatian Vodou (Nago or Yoruba nation of spirits). This history can definitely be complex and hard to find in one place (especially accurately), but it's really rewarding to research and see how we preserved our cultures, and this video did a great job explaining these traditions.

It depends on WHICH Voodoo you're talking about. Mainland African Vodou today? Yes. But the versions born and survived through slavery in the Caribbean? Not so black and white. They are all based on the religion of the Dahomey, but Vodou in the Caribbean incorporates of the influence of other ethnic groups too, such as the Yoruba and Kongo, etc.) Let's also remember that Hoodoo is a magico-spiritual descendant of the practices of several African ethnic groups as well, that we must also remember, mainly the Kongo. Those of us who have been exposed to Palo Mayombe (a Kongo inspired Afro religion born among slaves in Cuba) extensively can see the similarities between Hoodoo and Palo.

Glad I saw this video I always wondered what was the difference between hoodoo and voodoo, I believe my aunt and grandmother may have been into hoodoo, due to your explanation of what Hoodoo is, thank you. They were spiritual people, that believed in herbs and roots. They also believed in Jehovah and Jesus. My uncles criticize them for being involved with a woman who they called a root worker. But today you see the best medicine is roots and herbs! It's all spiritual, just depends on what you believe

Thank you for your time, energy, explaination and sharing your knowledge in general, so people like me can better themselves by learning, and for other people reconnecting with things lost. Love to you.

Thankyou for sharing this, I’m Australian, and we learnt a bit about the slave trade and small parts of different cultures but nothing in what I would call “in-depth”, I recently watched a doco about vondun, and I find it fascinating to learn how different cultures view things. I’m Christian (although don’t agree with big chunks that are associated with Christianity as I believe there has been manipulation in translation). I think knowledge is power so I try hard to learn as much as I can about as many cultures and religions as I can. So thankyou for sharing and sharing in such a straight forward and easy to understand way. I wish more people would educate like this on their cultures

This was really interesting I didn’t realize there was a difference! Thank you for posting this!

Thanks for taking the time to explain the differences. You made it very simple and plain.

Love your videos! So helpful and informative. Please keep posting 🙏

I’m Haitian and I think this approach to the African spirituality wherever it may be, is a bit disoriented. The underlying-tone of this video is to separate the two practices, have people focus on the differences instead or the similarities and the foundations that binds them together. I’m glad that he admitted that he didn’t know much about VOODOO. With that say, how can you say that they aren’t the same? to me they are... it’s like two branches of the same tree.... they can’t produce different fruits . Haitian Voodoo is a result of the Trans-Atlantic slave trade also ...it is more rooted in its origins but also suffered the same stigma as hoodoo. It deals with ancestors, “lwa”, rituals and concepts that predates slavery and so does Hoodoo. It isn’t a coincidence that there is a creole population in Louisiana, that many Haitian settled there after 1779 having fought alongside French and U.S. against the Brits. I’d love to say that Haitians are the cause of hoodoo in Louisiana, but that would be egotistical as there’s no way of proving that... but I’ll be danm if I let anyone separate the two (voodoo and hoodoo). It’s like saying U.S. citizens of African decent and Haitians are totally different races. We may be different culturally... but we have the same roots, went through the same he’ll, lost our identity, names , tongues and Beliefs to the same common “enemy “. we don’t need to know or find out yet another difference between us... we need to focus on similarities, on what binds us and make us one and strong.

Biomorph Nowadays, anyone born in the Western part of the world, is an AMERICAN... with that said let me address the real point here.. this idea that the Caribbean influenced all of “black U.S. citizens” spirituality is ignorant.... what they are seeing is a resemblance, a parallel or something about voodoo that echoes with hoodoo... now are they the same? Practically, no. but the similarities outweighs the differences as they are two branches of the same tree and if we’re going to focus on the mere differences, then let’s do it so we can take advantage of them for our collective good and wellbeing.

@@jwhippet8313 Not quite. Hoodoo is largely Kongo influenced (though they aren't the only influence, much of the magical technology can be traced there). The Portuguese introduced Christianity to the Kongo empire (in which the kingdom converted) before slavery even began here. It is usually assumed by historians now that Kongo peoples were largely familiar with Christianity before slavery and it is verified that they'd already begun to syncretize their traditional religon with Christianity. See, these Africans weren't simply left with a Bible. They saw spiritual technology in the Bible. They saw power in a Psalm even back that far. They knew that if the Europeans religion was accurate, Jesus Christ MUST have been the most amazing sorcerer ever! LOL. Kongos saw power in the Bible and easily merged it into their African religion. EASILY. Especially considering the Kongos didn't pray to a bunch of nature deities like the lwa or orishas. They venerated their dead and worked with nature. The Kongos most likely continued doing so when they came to North America and just blended their religion into Christianity even more as time went on. Our folks have always been smart and resourceful!

Amanda Kipfer All of these years, something just started happening to me, and I’ve been drawn towards the word VOODOO! What y’all think??kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZXZr0a-MhMeuaZc.html

Would love explaination/comparison btwn African and Appalachian Hoodoo Folk Magick. ❤💙💚🖤💛🧡💜 Thank you.

Thank you for the knowledge

I agree totally here in the South it is reference to work,help. are root workers. sadly dieing out and being spun around to and intertwined with hoodoo. Thanks you for clearing it up

I'm so amazed at how you broke this subject down. Because alot of people don't know the difference. I also come from a Christian back ground as well. Most people are not open-minded because they are 1 afraid 2 half of the christians don't even read the Bible or they play dumb and numb to the fact that this exists. If that makes sense. It's boarder line really unfair/unfortunate the the world makes you have to do your own research yourself or have mentors like yourself or other spiritualist to help others that are lost. 3. Please don't think I'm upset because I'm passionate about this. Trust me I've been called out but not to my face because, The lord knows when people have to heal themselves for a healthy and happy family. Luckily I was intuitive with my ancestors at the age of 10 & I was also introduced to other ritual and practices. But this brightens up my Day well morning at work 🥰🥰 SO THANK YOU AND GOODMORNING EVERYONE!!!

Hmm, interesting. The idea of ancestral passing of folk magick through shared secrets reminds me of some of the folk magic from Eastern Europe. There was a video I watched on Angela's Symposium KZread channel where she was talking about Eastern European folk magicians and it seemed to have some similarities.

Thank you. I would like to know more about the historical & practical application of saints and catholic beliefs. How does all this fit together - or does it?

Thank you. Very interesting i should take a book out ya got any sudgestions. Well spoken glad i found your page. New orleans. I wonder how it is. Im wondering if i can help someone with bipolar and a drug problem.

Right on, thx u for the post.

Great explanation! 👍👍

I really appreciated this

Great video once again! Its true a lot of people get very confused on these ! Thank you for clearing this up for many 😉

This was extremely useful for my midterm! Thanks!

I have a question and I hope you answer it. I have been drawn to Hoodoo and I am a believer. My Aunts and Parents mentioned great Aunts having skills but no one talks about it. My mother and grandmother were plant growers. The earth always spoke to them. Now that they are no longer here how do I tap into this? It’s like I cannot settle my soul. That is the best way I can describe it.

How do I know if this is apart of me if know one in my family does it Or have forgotten about it For both

the first time i was introduced to magic was probably through the princess n the frog and ever since i was 8, ive been interested (im turning 18 this year)

You are so knowledgeable. Great video and I appreciate the info :)

Keep up the good work

I don't know much about these religious beliefs but i respect it though i find it quite interesting coming from a wiccan.
