Anotations

Scope note:

Popularized, general term for varied belief systems or rituals derived from African diaspora religions practiced in the Caribbean or southern United States, or in West Africa itself that combine elements of Roman Catholic ritual with traditional West African elements. It is recommended to avoid use of this term, but instead to reference more specific concepts such as Vodou, Vodun, or Voodoo (Mississippi River).
