When I say the word Voodoo, what do you think of? You might think of eerie magic, witch-doctors, dolls of your enemies, or even zombies. I’m going to dispel the myths here and talk about not only this very misunderstood religion, but also how it’s a cool example of when religions...mix.
Go on a tour of the world's religions with this whole series!
