What do you think is the philosophy behind hoodoo?

Just that really - read lots of great sites ("desperate medicine for desperate people") and so on, wondered at your thoughts?

Mine being, we are ALL desperate in the Kali Yuga, as in after fast results for our small lives, and designed to be so, and this is spot-on perfect medicine for our needs.

Also pls note, I am NOT referring to "vodou" as a religious path, just people picking up a spell and bothering a Lwa or Saint or other whoever for RESULTS.

Why do you think they'll do this for us, when generations of Christian Priests can't sort out all their woes, and millenia of Gurus are up there and enlightened, but not getting all the attention? :ugeek:

(And, also all those "Native American" shamans saw their people get genocided, so that's a bit of a fail really - serious question, not meant as a provocation! 8-) )
