    Louisiana Voodoo

    Louisiana Voodoo originated from the traditions of the African diaspora and developed within the French, Spanish, and Creole speaking populations of Louisiana. It became syncretized with Catholicism through the slave trade. Louisiana Voodoo differs from Haitian Vodou in its emphasis on gris-gris charms, voodoo queens, occult paraphernalia, and the Li Grand Zombi snake deity. Many Voodoo spirits became associated with Catholic saints that governed similar domains as a result of the fusion of Voodoo and French culture in Louisiana.

    Louisiana Voodoo

    www.voodoohealingspells.com
    Louisiana Voodoo, also known as New Orleans Voodoo, describes a set of spiritual folkways which
    originated from the traditions of the African diaspora.
    It is a cultural form of the Afro-American religions which developed within the French, Spanish, and
    Creole speaking African American population of the U.S. state of Louisiana. Voodoo is one of many
    incarnations of African-based spiritual folkways rooted in West African Dahomeyan Vodun.
    Voodoo became syncretized with the Catholicism and Francophone culture of south Louisiana as a
    result of the slave trade. Louisiana Voodoo is often confused withbut is not completely separable
    fromHaitian Vodou and southern Hoodoo.
    It differs from Vodou in its emphasis upon Gris-gris, voodoo queens, use of Hoodoo occult
    paraphernalia, and Li Grand Zombi (snake deity). It was through Louisiana Voodoo that such terms as
    gris-gris (a Wolof term) and voodoo dolls were introduced into the American lexicon.
    As a result of the fusion of Francophone culture and voodoo in Louisiana, many Voodoo spirits became
    associated with the Christian saints that presided over the same domain. Early followers of Voodoo in
    the United States adopted the image of the Catholic Saints to their spirits.
