Voodoo and Magic – Parallel History and Modern Spelling

The magic and voodoo are very similar. Every place is a place for spirituality. Both reach God. The motivation behind both Voodoo and Witchcraft is also similar; not evil or malicious, Voodoo and Magic are essentially made to help real people solve the real problems that happen in their daily lives. These are comprehensive spiritual practices aimed at touching every aspect of a person’s life; they promote spiritual development, personal enrichment, and love.

The history of voodoo and magic has similarities. While voodoo is an African magical tradition, magic is primarily European tradition. However, both Voodoo and Witchcraft were severely repressed. Many witches suffered torture and death at the hands of religious authorities throughout Europe and the Americas. Likewise, when Voodoo priests were stolen from Africa as slaves and brought to the Americas, slave masters feared the power of Voodoo magic and tried to eliminate it at every turn.

However, voodoo priest and magic escaped. This is evidence of the strength and love that lives in the hearts of faithful practitioners of both traditions. Despite many centuries of severe persecution, both retained their traditional beliefs, their spells, and their practices. Each of them has emerged stronger and more powerful in this modern world. Both are still readily available at the fingertips of those who need help from the modern Witch or Voodoo Priest.

Aside from this parallel history, the obvious thing in between Voodoo and Witchcraft is the practice of spell casting. Since they both kept the ancient magical practices that the dominant world had forgotten, they were able to offer us something in this modern world that no other place could do. It is these traditions, in addition to others – such as Santeria, Candomble, Obeah, Kabbalah, Ceremonial Magic, and others – that have preserved the mysteries of the ancient world and the secrets in it. The most common forms of these – fits – can take many forms.
