These two spiritual practices are often confused, but there are key differences! Check out our full episode of Ritual where Tank Ball explores the power of Hoodoo with an expert and a practitioner!

When they take your from your home, the only thing that can still wander is your spirit

While recently living in New Orleans I came across Hoodoo and Voodoo practitioners at the Congo Square. Thank you for sharing Ms. Tank Ball. ⚜️⚜️⚜️

I went to Fête de Vodun (VooDoo Festival) in Ouidah, Benin. I saw the Zangbetos (VooDoo Dervishes) whirling around as well as dancers & drummers at the VooDoo Snake Temple. It was incredible.

Dope. I have been wildly enjoying the Ritual videos and have shared them with friends and family.

When you put it this way, nothing scary about it 🙏🏾 I see why they want us dumb down 🙌🏾

Im so glad to see m o re content on these topics. It's important that we reclaim and understand thw diffrent parts of our cultural heratige. We must work towards this so we can offset or prevent these sacred practices to be appropriated and distorted.

I want to learn more about Voodoo and Hoodoo. But I want to learn under someone. I'm in North Carolina. I want to change my life for it and I want to make sure I'm working with the right person

Vọọdọọ is a spirituality (spiritual system) not religion. That's why (Vọọdọọ) means: (Ṣpirit) in the Fọn-Èwẹ́-Àdja language. (Vọọdọọ) derives from the ancient Kingdom of Dahomey's word: (Vọdún) which means: (Ṣpirit).

I recently learned the difference and I really respect the people’s beliefs. Hoodoo is basically organic and earthy. Check out a book called “The Ethical Psychic” by Jennifer Lisa Vest, PhD. Rooted in Hoodoo and modern psychology. Helps keep us psycho-spiritual practitioners high vibing. Dealing with people’s souls is delicate, sacred work. 🙏🏽

I've actually thought voodoo was interesting it never scared me but it's nice to understand it more

Thanks for the information on the difference between hoodoo and voodoo I got the idea of the term hoodoo from the movie The skeleton key.

[Tevinarchiee]

Good good knowledge I needed this information thank you very much ❤

[MessagesfromtheLight]

It wasn’t until this year when I was lucky enough to meet someone that does Hoodoo and Hoodoo isn’t an offensive term nor the difference. Both I feel are beautiful

[blackgoddess]

Thank you for the breakdown on our culture 💜
