Voodoo originates in the kingdom of Dahomey, now Benin, and is a vibrant religion deeply intertwined with the region's culture. It is the most prominent religion in Benin, with over 50 million believers in West Africa, parts of the Caribbean, South America, and the southern United States. The term 'Voodoo' itself, meaning 'god,' 'soul, ' 'strength, ' 'spirit, 'or 'power' in the Fon language, reflects the depth of its cultural significance. Voodoo was originally called Vodun in Benin and Togo, which means 'that which is hidden' or 'mysterious.'
