One funny thing I have noticed lately (down in louisiana at least) is that white people are starting to claim voodoo more. You can see them walking around with papa legba or erzulie veve tattoos n shyt. I'm just waiting on them to try to do a complete white wash on the religion. They already out here trying to get rich off of it lol.

African religions fused with Christianity to create Voodoo, but today many open practitioners of the faith are white

I don't waaant to convert or nothing

But I'm interested in learning how my ancestors viewed spirituality.

If I had to go to school and learn about Zeus and Thor then why is it bad for me to learn about my peoples religions

Voodoo is all over the Bible. Worshiping other goods and pharaoh's magicians were shamans who practiced voodoo.

You do know that voodoo is the whole reason the Lord caused the flood, and lead Moses and his people out of Egypt.

People reject the Bible thinking it is just a bunch of inspiration stories and fables. It is far from that, it came out of Africa and it is filled with the wealth of knowledge from Ancient times. You can not expect less from one of the most advanced civilizations the world has ever known.

Mysticism and spirituality are brothers and sister, they are actually twins.

Only difference, spirituality brings you closer to God the Creator, it is not something you imagine, create, or describe it is something you have to accept and this spiritual process takes a tremendous amount of time, energy, and dedication. So spirituality revolves around faith.

Mysticism revolves around other spirits and the unusual powers they give to their followers, it rejects faith and relies on superstition and superstitious objects (like amulets and charms) and symbols.

There is a reason why you feel intense dread around people, places, and things that are deeply rooted in black magic. There is also a reason why you feel euphoria around things that are Holy. This is a major phenomenon you notice when you visit either world.
