===new answer=== yes. I was taught by a voodoo priest at an early age. The previous answer is correct, in that it is a religion that originated in Africa. It is a watered down version of Egyptian religion. The names that are used are the names of fallen angels, and it is a form of angel worship, and/or attempting to use angels to do ones' bidding. It is very dangerous to call those names and even more dangerous to attempt to perform the rituals that are associated with them. Remember cause and effect. What goes around comes around. Attempting to use a spell against someone with a calling can submit you to some terrible happenings in your own life. And that includes the love spells. Demons (fallen angels) are difficult, if at all possible, to control. Do yourself a favor and don't ever attempt any of that. Voodoo is a religion, and Hoodoo Rootwork is a magical tradition, they both originated in Africa.
The name given to a voodoo priest is "houngan" for a male priest and "mambo" for a female priest. These titles are used in Haitian Vodou, a religion practiced in Haiti and among the Haitian diaspora.

Consult a voodoo priest.
If the dead was not a priest they don't do anything special with the corpse beside bathe it, dressed it and bury it.... I can't tell you what they do with the dead body of someone who was a Voodoo priest/ess.(you are not an initiate)

no! but negative thoughts may be considered as part of voodoo!
As my suggestion, I would say go to a doctor; but if you wish to stick to those forms of medicine, try a voodoo priest next.
Check Voodoo online, for information on Voodoo masks.
Houngan is a title given to a male voodoo priest in Haitian culture. An example sentence could be: "The houngan performed a ritual to connect with the spirits for guidance."
Anyone can learn Voodoo. The best way is to be taught by a Houngan or Mambo. But, you can also do your own research online and through books.
