Chapter 1. Introduction: briefly about the history of Voodoo

As an introduction and before you move on to practical knowledge of Voodoo magic, I want to warn you against unforgivable mistakes and underestimating the possibilities of Voodoo magic. This means that all your actions must be imbued with deep respect for the Gods and Spirits of Voodoo. You should definitely say words of gratitude after every ritual, rites, and any action you perform within the framework of Voodoo magic. And of course, you must be able to put up magical defenses against unwanted influences from Spirits or Gods that you cannot control.

Putting yourself under protection during Voodoo rituals is important to ensure your physical and energy security. Here are a few steps you can take to protect yourself during magical practice. The first is to cleanse and protect the astral field. Before starting any ritual, be sure to cleanse your astral field with meditation, visualization or aromatic oils such as lavender, St. Johns wort, chamomile or santal. This will help to remove negative energies and create a protective barrier. Use protective amulets and talismans when conducting magical practices. Protective amulets or talismans can be charged with magical power and serve as symbols of protection from negative energies. Include protection rituals in your magical practice. For example, you can place white candles on the altar, recite a prayer of protection, or use symbols such as a pentagram to create a protective circle around yourself, which is created before the start of the ritual ceremony. walk around the perimeter of your workspace and visualize how the energy wall rises, protecting you from negative influences. Say a prayer or a spell, addressing the spirits or loa, ask for protection and guidance during the ritual. Be sure to finish any ritual or rite correctly. Say goodbye to the spirits and Loa (Voodoo gods), thank them for their help and close the magic circle to break the connection with the magical forces. After completing the ritual, do a short meditation or visualization to make sure that you are completely cleansed and protected from negative influences. It is also very important to observe ethical standards in your magical practice. After the ritual, pay attention to your physical and emotional standing. Take care of yourself to restore energy and harmony. To effectively protect yourself in magical practice, learn and improve in this direction. Knowledge and experience will help you better understand how to work with energy and strength. Remember that protection is an important part of magical practice, and it must be integrated into your Voodoo rituals to ensure your safety and the success of your magical efforts. And now that you already understand how to properly put up a defense, you can proceed directly to practice. To put up the right protection, it is necessary to deeply understand the meaning of the magic circle in Voodoo Magic. Its great importance allows us to dwell on this concept in a little more detail, for a deeper understanding of working with it. The magic circle is an important element of magical practices in many magical systems, including voodoo magic. A magic circle is a symbolic or physical space, usually surrounded by a barrier, which serves to distinguish magical work from the outside world and to protect against negative The main function of the magic circle in voodoo magic is to create a protective barrier around the practitioner and the magical work. The circle serves as a filter that allows only positive and desirable energies to enter the magical space, and repels negative influences and unwanted spirits. A magic circle can also serve to concentrate and enhance the magical energies within it. It creates a kind of energy reflection that can enhance the effectiveness of a ritual or magical practice. The circle defines the boundaries of the magical space, separating it from the world of reality. This helps the practitioner to focus on the magical work and avoid distractions, energies and interference. So, what does a MAGIC CIRCLE in VOODOO mean? Creating a magic circle in voodoo magic usually involves the following steps: The first is choosing a place suitable for performing a ritual or magical practice. This place should be clean and cozy. Next, clean the place of negative energies, using, for example, smoking white salvia or any aromatic oils. Then draw a symbolic circle on the ground or on the floor.

It can be a circle, a triangle, a pentagram, or another symbol associated with your magical practice. Raise the energy and charge the circle with prayer, meditation or other magical methods. Imagine how the energy barrier is recreated around you.

After the end of the magical practice, it is necessary to close the magic circle in order to break the connection with the magical world and return to everyday reality. This can be done as follows: If you have interacted with spirits or gods, thank them for participating in the ritual and ask them to leave. Disperse the energy that you charged into the circle. Imagine how the barrier slowly disappears and the energy returns to nature. Symbolically close the circle, for example, by noticing how it disappears in reverse order, returning to the ground. Thank the forces and the spiritual space for their support and help in the ritual. Closing the magic circle helps to complete the magical work and return to everyday life, as well as prevent the influence of unwanted energies and entities after the completion of the ritual. Lets take a closer look at what Wood Magic is and where this concept came from. Voodoo magic is a complex of religious and magical practices that have roots in the African diaspora, especially among African slaves brought to the New World, in particular to Haiti and Louisiana. Its history and origins are complex and linked to different aspects of African, Caribbean, and American culture. The main roots of Voodoo Magic are associated with the religious and magical practices of African peoples, especially from the regions now known as West and Central Africa. Among these peoples there were various beliefs, rituals and rituals, which were subsequently mixed with other cultural influences. During the colonial era, African slaves were brought to the Caribbean and the Southern United States, bringing their traditions and religious practices. These African elements mixed with Christian and other cultural influences, including Native American and French. In Haiti, a successful slave revolution took place in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, which led to the creation of an independent State of Haiti. During this revolution, the religious and magical practices of African slaves became a strong symbol of resistance and unity. This important event contributed to the spread of Voodoo Magic. Louisiana, which also had slaves, formed its own version of Voodoo Magic, known as Louisiana Voodoo. This version also includes elements of the Native American and Catholic traditions. The origin and history of Voodoo Magic are linked to a variety of cultural and historical factors. Lets take a closer look at some of them, as well as provide examples of Voodoo Magic practices: The first thing to focus on is certainly the African roots of Voodoo magic, which has roots in the religious and magical practices of African peoples such as the Yaoruba, Dahome, Fon and others. These peoples had their own gods, rituals and magical rituals. For example, the Yoruba worshipped orisha (gods) and practiced rituals to attract their attention and gain favor. The colonial legacy, which also had a great influence on the development of Voodoo magic. During the period of slavery, African slaves were brought to colonial territories, where their religious and magical practices clashed with Christianity and other cultural influences. This led to the mixing and syncretism of beliefs. For example, the Orishas of African religions became associated with Christian saints, and such associations became part of Voodoo Magic. Voodoo practices are rooted in African religious traditions, including belief in spirits, ancestors, and magical rituals. Voodoo also includes elements of priesthood and cult worship. Resettlement to America: During the slave trade era, many African slaves were brought to America, where they introduced their religious and magical practices, including voodoo. Syncretism with Christianity, which was expressed in mixing Voodoo with Christianity. For example, voodoo practitioners could attribute Christian santas or saints to their spiritual practices. The Haitian Revolution in the late 18th and early 19th centuries played a key role in the spread of Voodoo Magic. In Haiti, Voodoo has taken on a special form and has become an important part of the national identity. There it was called wudong, and this powerful art combines elements of religion, magic and medicine. Louisiana Voodoo that crossed the ocean and settled in America, along with former African slaves. In Louisiana, especially in the city of New Orleans, Voodoo Magic has acquired its own characteristics, known as Louisiana Voodoo. Here it is mixed with French Creole, Native American and Catholic culture. Louisiana Voodoo rituals include the use of voodoo dolls, amulets, and candles. Nowadays, voodoo remains alive and continues to be practiced in different parts of the world, including Haiti, Louisiana and other regions. Voodoo has also influenced pop culture, and parts of its practices sometimes become part of esoteric and magical traditions. Voodoo is not only a magical practice, but also a religion for many of its fans. The main elements of voodoo include ancestor worship, belief in spirits, oracles, and religious ceremonies. Voodoo religious rituals are conducted in order to connect with spirits and gain their help and protection. In the modern world, voodoo can be practiced in different ways and interpreted in different ways. There are both traditional and modern approaches to voodoo. It may include elements of medicine, herbal medicine, magic, and spiritual practice. So, as we can see. Voodoo magic is a complex and multifaceted system of beliefs and practices that has a rich history and cultural significance for various communities. In addition to religious aspects, voodoo also includes magical practices. Voodoo magicians can use spells, amulets, talismans, and rituals for a variety of purposes, including healing, protection, love, and good luck. In voodoo, spirits play an important role. They are seen as intermediaries between the world of the living and the world of spirits. In magical rituals and rituals, spirits are often invited to receive their help or guidance. Voodoo magic is often associated with religious practices such as Voodooism (Vodou) in Haiti and Voodoo in Louisiana, as well as other variants such as Cantongo and Santeria. In these religions, there are gods and spirits who play an important role in worship and rituals. Voodoo often hosts a variety of religious ceremonies and rituals, including dancing, songs and music. Oracles such as bokors or mamalua can be used to predict the future or consult.
