West African or not anyone that speaks things into existence is a practitioner of Voodoo.\n\nWhy just last week I said I wanted a new car and last weekend I went to the car dealership and bought one.  What I said the previous week came true.\n\nFurther proof you have never seen me pray either

I have researched this question for you:\n\nSimple answer yes. What I am giving you is information that may lead to a better understanding of 'Voodoo' instead. These are note from a previous answer I gave.:\n\nFor too many, the word “voodoo” conjures up some wild images. Weird curses involving bones and pins stuck in poppets. Secret societies making sacrifices to their demonic gods. Evil priests raising zombies. Media has given us a sensational but unrealistic view of the vodoun religion. Although some of these are mildly accurate (sacrifice, animal bones and voodoo dolls) they are but a small part of the religion that is practiced today. Just as in Wicca, the vodoun make charms and create spells for money, health, etc. In fact because of the images associated with this word, most practitioners prefer the term Vodou. Although media would have us believe the vodoun are strictly in it for self-gain, that’s not true. According to Vodou belief, magic shouldn’t be employed for selfish gain, especially if it would hurt someone else.\n\nVodou came form the tribal practices and beliefs of the slaves who were brought to Haiti from West Africa. In the 17th century, slaves bound for the West Indies were taken from over 100 different African ethnic groups. The beliefs and customs of all these groups combined to form Vodou. The two groups who had the greatest influence were the Fon and the Yoruba.\n\nThe most important religious practice was ancestor worship. By remembering their ancestors and passing down their knowledge from generation to generation ensuring that their religious traditions would live on.\n\nThe Fon believed in hundreds of immortal spirits called vodu. Because the people had personal relationships with the spirits, they needed to communicate with the vodu. Ritual enabled them to talk to the spirits. The most important elements of the tribal rituals were…\n- dancing, drumming and chanting to communicate with the spirits\n- animal sacrifices made as offerings to the spirits\n- a priest or priestess who interpreted messages from the spirits\n- possession of the bodies of participants in ritual by the spirits.\n\nThe main purpose of the ritual was to communicate with the vodu and receive their guidance in making important decisions. They did this by communicating indirectly with the spirits via the priest/priestess to help their followers determine who their personal vodu were and to interpret the messages for them.\nPriests and priestesses were chosen for their ability to connect with the spirits. They were said to have inherited this talent from their mothers or fathers. They were “born into priesthood”.\n\nPriests became the religious and community leaders of the slaves. Any rebellious priest was usually sold to prevent them from “sowing the seeds of dissent” in that empire. \n\nThese religious practices continue to thrive today for modern day Benin. Vodoun is the official religion. It is also the dominant religion in Togo and southwest Ghana.\n\nAs in every religion, there are those who use it for wrong. With any religion that deals with magic it is said these wrongful users practice black magic. Although legitimate priests and priestesses are taught both the good and the bad, they take an oath upon initiation not to cause harm to others.\n\nThe lwa most likely to assit in black magic are : Kalfou, Ezili Danto’, Marinette, Bosou, Ti-jean-petio, Maman Brijit, Ge’de’- Nibo, and Baron Krimine’l.\n\nOnce a priest/priestess begins to practice black magic, they are known as a bo’ko’. A bo’ko’ has no temple or devotees and does all his/her rituals in secret. Bo’ko’ are said to serve the lwa with both hands because they practice both white and black magic. When a bo’ko’ buys the powers of one of the dark lwa, he’she must pay a high price, usually life-long service to the lwa. This pact between the lwa and the bo’ko’ is called an angajan. An angajan is like a shortcut to quic

What type of Vodou are you talking about. From your spelling are you asking about New Orleans voodoo? Are you asking about Haitian Vodou? Dominican Republic Veinte-Uno Divisiones? Vodoun in West Africa? \n\nIf you are interested in Haitian Vodou you can check the website of the humfort I belong to. A list of articles written by Mambo. This is a house in the U.S, that follows Haitian regleman. http://www.sosyetedumarche.com/vodou_inf...\n\nYou can also check our the site of my Mambo initiatory Mama. Her house is in Jacmel, Haiti. http://members.aol.com/racine125/index1.... \n\np.s. There is no end on the world in Vodou.  Our destiny as humans is to live, die, and go to Ginen to be with God until we are called from the waters to help our family.

I think your boyfriend has no reason not to play you because Addis Ababa is a land of beutiful girls. As a man i can tell you once you step into that city your heart will change. Your boyfriend might love you and alll but it is very hard for him to come out without doing something. I am sorry i am just trying to be honest.. so please talk to your boyfriend and try to convince him not to play you and also keep on reminding hime the good times you had together and nice things about you.

you have to talk to him before you can figure out if the chemistry is real or will fade. worshipping him from afar will never solve your problems, only frustrate you. chat him up, see what happens. its the only way you'll learn.

"Voodoo" is more accurately (and respectfully) known as Vodun. Find out more here: http://www.religioustolerance.org/voodoo.htm

Blacks are not immigrants.......if you were born and raised in the US, you are not an immigrant. Yes our black heritage traces back to Africa but I am not an immigrant. Your whole idea of the black race is screwed up because maybe you watch too much TV, or you applied your few bad run ins with blacks to the entire race which is wrong. Its crazy that your husband is black and you want to change him, in essence you want to strip him of his heritage and want him to embrace what you feel, he say the things he says because he has been a black man all his life in which thats all he know, you can't say anything about him or how he feels towards whites until you lived in a black mans shoes or a black womans shoes for that matter. Your whole stereotype of blacks is crazy. I am black and well educated. If you feel so strongly about the miseducation of the black people why don't you reach out and try to help rather than put us down!! Then the whole religious aspect you are trying to imply is a whole different story and I do not want to get started on that with you because I am a God fearing woman myself..........BE BLESSED!!

First of all, as long as you believe this your own belief will make this so. Magic (or witchcraft) is given strength only by the mental and spiritual energy we give to it.\n\nTherefore my advice to you is to forget about this curse and focus your attentions on being happy and finding a girlfriend who will properly respect you. In time when you believe it any curse will be lifted.\n\nIf you are an impatient person though, just grab a bowl of salt and a bowl of sugared water and carry (one at a time around your house - or place where you spend a lot of time) and sprinkle the two around the edges while chanting:\n\nTurn around.\none two three.\nTurn around.\nI banish thee.\nTurn around.\nno more curse on me.\n\nI know it sounds stupid, but i gave this to a friend in a similar condition and he was dating again by the end of the week.\n\nHope this helps...

well humans can "draw down" god's & goddesses into them.  It is a process known as "trance possession" whereby your body is "ridden" by a god, goddess, spirit, ancestor, etc...a milder form of this is  performed by trance mediums during "seances"... It is also known in some circles as "aspecting" where the deity aspects within the human who opens up the appropriate channels to allow the spirit to enter the body... the persons body is still a human body, but the spirit within the mortal shell is that of a god, goddess, spirit, ancestor etc... this is more prevalant in voodoo, santaria, candoble etc, but some wiccans and other neopagans practice it as well...I have had sex with "god" who had been aspected into my husband during a midsummer rite... and i have to say... it was different... not like the normal rustling of the sheets on your average friday night...but much more intense...it was not my husband in there...you could see it in his eyes...his actions were unprdictable, we have been together for 15 yrs...and i know how he is... and how we do things... but this was wild, primal & different...but as for banging Yngwie Frey during my last session of gnosis... if i could be so lucky...that has yet to happen... when i am experinceing the gods in that capacity it is more on an intellectual level, then on a purely physical level...(not that i wouldn't jump at the chance... FREY IS HAWT!!!)

he's a professional who trained at making ladies feel comfortable. Sounds like a bit of an unhealthy infatuation. Maybe your next boyfriend should be made aware of your needs, to be treated with dignity and respect.
