The voodoo (voodoo) has its origin in Benin.
Indeed, as mentioned, the African slaves brought this cult to America, as happened with the worship of Orisa Yoruba.

The voodoo is practiced in New Orleans, and particularly in Haiti, Trinidad Tobago and other Caribbean islands. We must not forget that to reach America, the different ethnic groups should share their space, so there was a mixed wine in worship.

In South America, African cult has greater acceptance is the Yoruba (Orisa). In Brazil stands Keto Candomble and Batuque (also practiced in Uruguay).

In Cuba, meanwhile, highlights the Orisa worship called "Santeria" and the "palo", a spiritualist cult.

My respects to all.

They used Yoruba saints because the Yoruba were among some the the last in many countries to arrive thus left their imprint however, voodoo and african witch craft was always celebrated in the west after slavery. its roots are all over africa.

Right.
I do not think that the case of "saints" Yoruba, but of Òrìsá.
But I agree with you, that many African cultures that were brought to America earlier (Angola, Congo, Mozambique, Fanti, Ashanti, etc.) Were overshadowed when the Yoruba came at the end of the slave period.

Most of West Africa practices the same form of spiritual doctrines.

Akan, Ewe, Fon, Yoruba, Edo, Igbo...I don't know much about Ijaw traditions and spirituality but I would guess it is similar to the aforementioned.

Voodoo and Orisha lifestyle are the same, only different names and little rituals

Epi:
Ma'am, you may want to take out The Caribbean out of that because I have never heard of Caribbean countries practicing voodoo. However, we have duppies walking the street at late night, I think

Haiti is a Caribbean country and they practice voodoo there.

Outsiders have written many books and essays about Igbo and African religions.

A number of inaccurate and disparaging statements have been made in these publications. which has influenced many Igbo and Africans to adopt the same incorrect terminology and have the same beliefs.

Let us correct some of these inaccuracies.

African or Igbo religion is incorrectly referred to be ancestor worship.

This is incorrect because Africans do not revere their ancestors who have passed away.

It is true that long-dead relatives are said to live on and exhibit interest in their living relatives.

These families may demonstrate their faith by erecting shrines to the departed and leaving food or drink there or on their graves, as well as mentioning them in their prayers.

Also, once in a while, Igbo culture permits the celebration of Masquerade or mmanwu festivals, just like the one that happened in this video which took place in Agbgudu, Udi, Enugu state.

These expressions of reverence for the deceased, however, do not imply that they are being worshipped; rather, they demonstrate people's view that the departed of up to four or five generations should not be forgotten.

Acts of worship (such as sacrifices and prayers) are only a part of the African/Igbo religion.

A little element of a larger religious system cannot be considered whole.

Thus, it is incorrect to refer to the African/Igbo religion as "ancestor worship."

No, it originated from Western Europe. Olodo.
