Or, after all, voodoo magic is aimed not only at controlling the forces of darkness? This and much more can be learned from the material of this story.
Historical stages of the emergence of voodoo magic in Haiti
Modern voodoo magic is considered a kind of interweaving of various spiritual principles. For example, Voodoo combines confessions such as:
• Orthodox;
• Islamic;
• Catholic;
• Pagan.

Some Orthodox Christians are extremely negative about this direction, but in vain. After all, such an attitude speaks of ignorance in this direction.
In fact, Voodoo echoes both the beliefs of African tribes and Orthodox traditions. If we consider Voodoo in relation to other religions, then it is more flexible than the same Buddhist or Christian belief system. It can be customized for any person, regardless of race, gender or social status.
Voodoo is based on the belief in the existence of the spirits of the other world. This religion is, although different in directions and flexible, but not chaotic. For example, according to historical records, the foundation for the creation of the traditional Voodoo religion was the faith of one of the largest African tribes during the Yoruba colonization by the British. Despite the fact that some are wary of this faith and religion in general, if you look in more detail, you can see principles that are similar to traditional more influential religions.
Voodoo and Yoruba principles
The basis of the Voodoo faith is the belief in various beings of the other world. For example, there are spirits that Voodoo followers refer to as Loa. These spirits of medium strength are responsible for every aspect of a person's life. And there are a great many deities themselves of a similar orientation. There are also spirits of an older hierarchy called Orisha. Such spirits are already stronger and the Haitians associate power with the divine principle, which not even every experienced sorcerer can cope with, not to mention beginners.
Voodoo is also related to world religions by the presence of the Creator of the universe. It is believed that after some time, Esha, as the Haitians call him, retired from rule, transferring the world and its management into the hands of Orisha. Some religious scholars trace in this god the relationship with the Slavic deity Rod. Both of them do not need worship and sacrifice, they just have enough of their very existence for a calm existence of everything. These are some of the most peaceful deities in relation to man.
It should be noted that, unlike most traditional religions, Voodoo reigns full equality among its followers. At the same time, virtually any person can become a priest. And both a man and a woman can achieve higher powers and power. At the same time, duties and rituals for both sexes are practically the same.
In general, Voodoo magic can be both constructive and destructive. After all, if you judge, even light magicians, if they want to take revenge on the offender, can resort to black rituals. And this is a completely natural phenomenon among sorcerers. However, in a secular society, the prevailing opinion is that Voodoo is aimed only at destruction and curse. And the fact that with the help of this ancient magic, according to the information of the adepts of this magic, even incurable diseases like cancer are cured today - this, for some reason, few people take into account.
Voodoo is just a way to communicate with higher powers. And how to use it, each priest decides for himself on his own. Moreover, if light, for example, Orthodox magic condemns dark actions, then Voodoo has nothing against them.
Voodoo sorcerers look at life and man more critically and soberly, without prejudice and stereotypes due to the mixture of different religions and worldviews.
Voodoo magic is a unique monument of the culture of mankind, which can be used by everyone, if he feels the potential for both improving life and communicating with dark forces. In Voodoo, everyone chooses their own path.
