Voodoo refers to all the gods or invisible forces whose power or benevolence men try to conciliate. It is the affirmation of a supernatural world, but also the set of procedures for entering into a relationship with it. Voodoo corresponds to the Yoruba cult of the Orishas. The Voodoo pantheon is above all made up of the forces of nature, as in shamanism. The Voodoos (loa, lwa) and their relationships refer to the natural powers of lightning, the sea, disease and so on.
But the Voodoo cult is also interested in other supernatural entities, such as deified ancestors and monsters (and other animals).
