| So many threads about voodoo have been appearing on MAL in the recent weeks. They are obivously created by spambots, but hey, it's an interesting topic to talk about. Do y'all believe in voodoo spells? I don't, by the way. |
| I do believe in ways to cause misfortune and illnesses (and death) to someone unknowingly from afar as it were, probably mostly used as a control factor. Don't know how it's done though. My Mother came to hear of some strange happenings when she was trying to get help and treatment for us all, we were up against pretty powerful people who put us in a cover-up and denied many truths about what happened to us. So yes, totally believe it, just not sure if it's necessarily voodoo though. |
 |
| Of course I don't. I'm not superstitious. |
 |
| Nah, everything that just requires belief without even a shred of objective evidence is just superstition to me. Sure, it'd be nice if you could curse someone you really don't like and cause them misfortune, I'm sure we all wished we could do that at one point but that's not really how reality works. |
| I'm more interested to become a time mage rather than black mage |
 |
| Yes. Its something that I'll never get involved in, though. |

I am not a believer in real life voodoo spells, but I am a fan of seeing voodoo in anime.  |
Sure, I do. Now, arise chicken arise! ARISE CJICJEN!!! |
 |
| In my opinion, I don't think this can exist, but it's also not impossible for it not to exist. I don't know if it's selfish of me to say that I believe in God but don't believe in spells, voodoo from other religions, or even some words from the Bible. Well, I believe in a celestial being who may hold the title of 'creator of the universe,' but I don't follow any religion. |

| My theory is that voodoo is the practice of raising the dead. So, it can be effective. But for most people it's nothing to worry about... you aren't a dead man walking! ;) |
| I CELEBRATE myself, And what I assume you shall assume, For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you. |
| I believe in the paranormal and I know that there are powers and energies in this universe we can't see or understand nor really explain. I don't really like to call it ghost goblins or voodoo magic. Just energy that we don't grasp or can see, the same as black holes ones were, or dark matter And just to be on the safe side I would NEVER touch a Ouija board mess with black magic or voodoo stuff or dig in a native american burial ground Maybe nothing would happen but why risk it =P |

| I made a joke about voodoo dolls once around one of my black friends, and he got kind of offended cause his mother was Haitian and told me not to joke about that kind of stuff. So, it actually seems shunned in some cultures to not take this sort of stuff seriously. |
>implying we can discuss /a/ Anime & Manga |

So called "voodoo dolls" dont really particularly have to do with Voudon of Haiti |

| @traed, yep, you are right about that 👌 |
| Voodoo sounds satanic. Might need an exorcist. |

| @ghostsamurai I mean, it's understandable. Voodoo is an important element of the Haitian culture, after all, and also a religion in which a lot of people believe in. That's why making fun of it can be considered as rude by people to whom it's a part of their own or their ancestors' identity. I don't believe in it myself, but at the same time I respect people who do. I think it's a wholesome way of interacting with people having different worldviews than your own. Sadly, in the popular culture, Voodoo is in general presented in an overly simplified way, omitting many basic principles of this system of beliefs, or even going further and describing them in a distorted way. |

| I am personally very cautious about believing in things that have no scientific explanation. That's not to say everything that happens is known by science, but if something that appears "voodoo" occurs I would assume it to be the result of scientific principles that we don't yet understand. I think there will always be some things beyond our comprehension, and since we are quite creative creatures there will always be interesting theories to fill these gaps. The ones that the most rigid I trust the least, I must prefer the people who bring forward a theory but admit they could be wrong. All this being said these are just the views of one random person on the internet and we're all free to believe what we want, I just enjoy rambling about these things. |
