Voodoo Vs Hoodoo.
Voodoo And Hoodoo Is It The Same Thing?
I spoke on this question before and most people will find the answer online which is wrong.
What's the wrong answer that is given online by fake Rootworkers? Is that Voodoo is a religion and Hoodoo is a practice...
Actually both voodoo and hoodoo are different forms of christianity. Voodoo ether from Haiti or New Orleans were under the French and they were Catholic. They kept there practice and there lwa hidden under catholic saints.
In hoodoo when the Africas came to the American south the slave owners weren't catholic but Protestant christians so there were no saints just the bible. So the African spirits were hidden within scriptures. This Hoodoo became a new found form of christianity, it's became its own form of Africanized Christianity.
So they are both religions and hoodoo does have elements of voodoo within.
Does Hoodoo Have Saints? Originally No. There are no saints in hoodoo, that came from Louisiana because there were under the French and were catholic . Now there isn't anything wrong with saints they are conjured spirits and is used but never was apart of it traditionally.
