Voodoo Priesthood

Like in most other religions, voodoo also has the priesthood. Unlike most other religions there is no discrimination between men and women when it comes to being a priest. The Voodoo priesthood and the Christian priesthood almost serve the same purpose. Almost all priest carry duties as do Voodoo priests and the majority of the duties are universal. Some of those duties include: healing, carrying out rituals, and religious ceremonies to call on spirits. The Voodoo priesthood carries a whole lot more duties than any other priesthood does. Some of the extra duties are telling fortunes, reading dreams, casting spells, invoking protections, and creating potions for many different purposes.
