voodoo rituals

Voodoo rituals are ceremonial practices associated with Vodou, an Afro-Caribbean religion originating in Haiti that blends West African spiritual traditions with Catholic elements.

These rituals typically involve drumming, dancing, animal sacrifice, and communication with spirits called lwa through possession of participants.

In popular culture, the term often carries sensationalized connotations of black magic, zombies, and voodoo dolls, though these representations significantly distort actual religious practice.

The movie portrayed voodoo rituals as sinister, ignoring their legitimate spiritual significance.
