Africa, this religion in ancient traditions, the voodoo is the official
religion of Benin.
the voodoo means spirit or deity was born in West Africa more precisely in benin, but is also practiced in Togo, Ghana is Burkia Faso is other neighboring countries.
the europe or american believe that voodoo is 'black magic that is' evil but it is

dance music.
divination.
dances with masks.
ceremonial dances.
Animal sacrifices to give thanks to the spirits.
objects magical.
the veneration of ancestors.”
