don't play with stuff like that.things can get as messy as with seances.it's not I blindly believe those things,but play it safe.you never know what can happen and there is no actual need to put your mental balance at stake.

I think that if you believe something then it can be done...just remember there are consequences for everything...what come around goes around...and my friend is the honest truth...

Voodoo is more of a mind game of intimidation and threat than anything else. This is true with many similar curses and spells type of concepts in many parts of the world. Usually the user and the target of such are well known with each other and live within close physical proximity, so it is the very knowledge of the fact of deploying such things that makes it have any psychological effect at all.

If voodoo is as powerful as it is believed to be, I'm sure the CIA would be spending a lot of money researching and experimenting with it. It would cost much less than unmanned combat air vehicles and satellite warfare.

If you believe it, voodoo works.
If you don't believe it, there is nothing to it.
It's all in the mind.

Voodoo originated from Benin. It has a few differences from Santeria/Lukumi/Candomble, which originated from Ile Ife in Nigeria.

Traditional African religion is no different than Native American religion. It is very benign but has been greatly maligned in the media.

A good website is WNW.alterofmysoul.com. Marta Moreno Vega also wrote a book on the subject named Alter of My Soul.

Lukumi is basically about honoring your ancestors and the Orishas.

If you type in Lukumi on the web, you will find interesting websites.

I practice Vodou. If you were invited I would not go. We do not invite anyone. If someone asks we may allow them into a public feat (service). However they must first meet with the Mambo (priestess) or Houngan (priest). I would look into the group a little more if I were you.

If you need or want more information please email me. I am a member of a house in the US and we practice Haitian based Vodou.

I do not believe in such things, I think you are asking for a lot of trouble, my advice is to stay clear of such things, to me you would be asking for trouble, not for me.
