I personally do not know much about that culture in itself....
I know bredren who know some things about West African Voodoo though.
...
I am wondering, if its a western culture normality to associate certain herb and roots and bush medication practices as voodoo. If that may be the case, since some would look at voodoo as a "dark art" so-to-speak, then what makes it so is One's perception upon the theory of the practice itself.
Also, here in America, in the Midwest Region is where my families roots are. Our Bloodline is mostly Native American, but with it is African and European lineage. Growing up, I was exposed to a Brotherhood of Troditions through the Native American Elders; being involved with a Man's Right of Passage; a certain tradition involving Peyote experiences and a Village Shaman. There are Fungi that I have used to ascertain facts of LIfe through a plethora of Reality. For I they are Good, Natural things. I Cant speak for anyOne else though. Since I feel like I have an Ivine overstanding of these things used ceremonially, I can say that they are good.
I wonder still if these things that I do have experience with can be "cataloged" with voodoo that One asks about. If so, then I guess my answer to your question would then be Yes, I do have a type of interest in those things.
Bless
