Voodoo is an Afro-Caribbean religion that mixed practices from the Fon, 
the Nago, the Ibos, Dahomeans, Congos, Senegalese, Haussars, Caplauous, 
Mondungues, Madinge, Angolese, Libyans, Ethiopians and the Malgaches.
With a bit of Roman Catholicism thrown in for good measure. This melange was
brought about by the enforced immigration of African slaves into Haiti during
the period of European colonizaltion of Hispaniola.  The colonists thought that a divided group of different tribes would be easier to enslave; but little 
did they know that the tribes had a common thread. 

In reality the actual religion is called "Vodun", while "Voodoo" is a largely
imaginary religion created by Hollywood movies. Vodun priests can be male
(houngan) and female (mambo) and confine their activites to "white" magic. 
However caplatas (also known as bokors) do practice acts of evil sorcery, 
which is sometimes referred to "left-handed Vodun".
