1. "Ifa, Voodou, Santeria, etc." In response to In response to 0
are valid systems of faith. They rely much on the oldest known faith, which is magick. I can really only speak on Voodou in particular, because thats they only one I've studied. Almost all magickal systems share similarities in how the practitioner is infinitely connected and a part of the divine source of creation (typically a goddess, or a pantheon of dieties), unlike religion which holds up the concept of God as a separate entity and is used a means of social control. I'll offer more later.
Thanks for reading. I love you.
