Vodou, often spelled "Voodoo," is a syncretic religion that originated in Haiti and is influenced by West African spiritual practices, Catholicism, and indigenous beliefs. It emphasizes the worship of spirits known as "lwa," who serve as intermediaries between humans and the divine. The religion incorporates rituals, music, dance, and community gatherings, fostering a strong sense of cultural identity among its practitioners. Despite misconceptions and stereotypes, Vodou is a complex belief system focused on healing, community, and connection with the spiritual world.

There could never be an exact accurate estimate. Since Vodou is not considered a legal organized religion (at least not in the U.S.), there are never census member counts. However there are many thousands of practitioners of Vodou all over the world.
