-MY GLOSSARY- Hello people, This post is about the most important words about my topic, voodoo. Another activity of the class, apart from choosing the words I had to define them.  Here you have it! 1.Voodoo: Voodoo is a religion originally from West Africa, where it is still practiced today by members of the Ewe, Kabye, Mina and Fon de Togo and Benin ethnic groups.

Hello everyone! The work that we have done recently tried on the word post truth. First of all, we had to say that we understand ourselves about the post-truth word. The concept of post truth is to describe a situation in which, when creating public opinion, the objective facts have less influence than the calls to personal beliefs. It is a novaparla for the lie. An example of post truth relationated with my topic is that voodoo has become associated in the popular imagination with satanism, zombies and 'voodoo dolls'. Although there is evidence of zombie creation, it is a minor phenomenon within Haitian rural culture and is not part of religion as such. These questions fall under the auspices of the bokor or sorcerer rather than the priest of the Loa.

ABOUT Welcome to my blog, my name is Marc and right now I'm studying baccalaureate. In my school we are doing a subject called digital humanities, we have to choose a topic and work with it. The theme I have chosen is Voodoo. Why? Because I think that is a topic that all people related with something bad, and I think that there are still things to discover. What I would like to do with this subject is to investigate it thoroughly, to know if everything that is said is true or are just myths that people say. I would also like to see if the voodoo really exists as they say. If someone has experienced a real voodoo case.
