“Arroboboi, meu pai, Arroboboi, Dangbê

Destila seu axé na alma e no couro

Derrama nesse chão a sua proteção

Pra vitória da Viradouro“

O vodum Dangbé, o entendimento jeje para Oxumaré, traz a vitória para Niterói.

Doctor Brother Voodoo – Black Magic vs White Magic

Yo. I call on the spirits to open the way.  I call on the ancestors to clear the path.  And, I call on  you, to make yourself receptive, to the message which is being delivered.  You must know that Spirit Magic exists in opposites, called White Magic and Black Magic.  Practitioners of White magic usually describe Black Magic as negative.  And, practitioners of Black magic, usually describe White Magic as negative.  The reality is, Magic is Magic.  What makes it positive or negative is based on the intentions of the practitioner.  Both White Magic and Black Magic have their right hand paths, and left hand paths.  The right hand path is used to describe magic with positive intentions, and the left hand path is used to describe magic with negative intentions.  Like White Light and Black Light, both White Magic and Black Magic come from a common source, Ancient Egypt.  White Magic was perfected by the European Witches, Warlocks, Wiccans, and Druids, and eventually gave rise to modern religions like Christianity.  In white magic, the letter K is added to the word Magick to discriminate between Magic for the purpose of entertainment, versus Magick used for harnessing energies to alter self, others, or the environment.   Black Magic was perfected by the people of Africa and their descendants, and eventually gave rise to various animistic traditions throughout Africa and in the Caribbean and the Americas.  In Marvel Comics, Doctor Strange represents White Magic, and Doctor Brother Voodoo represents Black Magic.  Both characters held the title of Sorcerer Supreme at different points in time.  In Ancient Egypt, Black Magic had two distinctions known by the names Heka and Aakhu.  Much like Magick and Magic respectively, Heka was magic used for the purpose of healing, and Aakhu was magic used for the purpose of trickery and entertainment.  When the Magical practices left Ancient Egypt, they diverged into Black Magic and White Magic.  In South and Central Africa, Black Magic is called ngoma or “gang”, and relates to wisdom, knowledge, and skill.  The root, “ang”, can be seen in the name for the practitioners of Black Magic in South and Central Africa.  In South Africa, the practitioner of Black Magic is called a Sangoma or Iyanga.  In Swahili, mganga refers to a traditional healer, or African witchdoctor.  Among the Shona people of Zimbabwe, a N'anga is a traditional healer who uses a combination of herbs and spiritual advice to heal people.  The Bantu people use the word Nganga for a herbalist or spiritual healer, and this word is also used by their descendants in Haiti, Brazil, and Cuba who were taken during the transatlantic slave trade.  This can also be seen in the manifestation of Black Magic in West Africa known as Vodun.  West African descendants who were brought to the Americas and the Caribbean during the transatlantic slave trade use various versions of the word Vodun to describe their Black Magic, including  Cuban Vodú, Puerto Rican and Dominican Vudú, Haitian Vodou, New Orleans Louisiana Voodoo, deep southern Hoodoo, and Brazilian Vodum, also called  Candomblé Jejé.  In these traditions, the spirits are known as loa or Orisha.  In modern times, the systems of Palo, Santeria, and Lucumí aim to reunite Black Magic with White magic through the combination of synchronizing the Black Magic loa or Orisha spirits, with the White Magic Catholic saints.  The pantheon of Orisha can also be found in the traditional practices of the Yoruba people of Nigeria, where the male spiritual priest is called a Babaaláwo and the female spiritual priestess is called a Iyalawo, meaning father and mother of mysteries, respectively.  In Vodun, the female priestess is called Vodunsi, and the male priest is called Vodunon.  In Ghana, the spiritual priest is called Okomfo, and one such powerful African shaman was named Okomfo Anokye, who helped establish the Ashanti Kingdom.  Haitian Vodou also helped Toussaint Louverture during the Haitian Revolution.  In Haitian Vodou, the female priestess is called a mambo, and the male priest is called a Houngan, which is derived from the word Hounnongan of the Fon people of Dahomey in the country of Benin in Africa, and is similar to the word Hogon, the name for a spiritual leader amongst the Dogon people of Mali.  While each of these systems are separate and distinct, they share common practices and syncretic traditions.  Another Black Magic occult science from the African Congo is called Bò, or O bò , whose priests are called Bòkônon or Bòkôtônon.  The occult science of Bò is not Vodun but elements of Vodun can be seen in the rituals of Bò, and it summons spirits from the Vodun pantheon.  In Haitian Vodou and Puerto Rican and Dominican Vudú, the highest initiation rank is to become a high priest called a Bokor, or priestess called a Caplata, who are said to serve the loa spirits “with both hands”.  The Black magic of Bokors includes the creation of zombies, and the creation of talismans called Ouangas which house spirits.  Other names for these talismans which house spirits are N’Kondi, Nkisi, Nail Fetishes, Gris-Gris, Mojo, Juju, Voodoo Dolls, and Hoodoo poppets.  The term Obia is also used to refer to a talisman or object which houses a spirit, and has roots to the Ashanti word “Obayifo” meaning “witchcraft”, and the Igbo word “dibia” meaning healer.  These talismans are also sometimes called “medicine bags” as they may be small bags containing one or more magical items.  The fact that words like doctor, healer, herbalist, and medicine come up so frequently when discussing Black magic has to do with the fact that Black Magic had its origins in Ancient Egypt with Heka, which was used for the purpose of healing.  As it was in the beginning, so shall it be in the end.
