🎙️ 2 Dudes, One Spirit – Episode 6: “Voodoo, Hoodoo & What do You do!”

Step inside the mysterious crossroads where Africa, America, and the spirit world meet. In this electrifying episode of 2 Dudes, One Spirit, we pull back the veil on one of the most misunderstood spiritual traditions on earth — Voodoo — and its American-born cousin, Hoodoo.

From the ancient kingdoms of Benin and Yoruba to the Louisiana bayous, we trace how African spirituality evolved through survival, adaptation, and cultural fusion. We break down the difference between religion and rootwork, unpacking how Voodoo became demonized while Hoodoo became Americanized.

We also explore how Native American herbalism and naturalism influenced early Hoodoo practices in the U.S., creating a unique blend of earth-based healing, prayer, and ancestral respect.

But we don’t stop there — we dive into:

• 🕯️ Islamic perspectives on sorcery, sihr, and spiritual protection
• 🕊️ Sikhism’s view of spiritual energy, divine order, and moral power
• 🌿 The African spiritual logic behind amulets, incense, and rituals
• 🔮 How colonization and Christianity reframed African spirituality into fear

Our conversation isn’t about superstition — it’s about understanding the hidden roots of faith, fear, and freedom that still shape our world today.

If you’ve ever asked “Where did Voodoo really come from?” or wondered why people still practice it in 2025, this episode connects the dots between history, theology, and raw human spirit.
