The Mystic Voodoo

My main website is The Mystic Voodoo. The mission of my website is to chronicle and present museum quality mystical art for future generations, and to educate the general public about the impact of trauma on the psyche of marginalized and oppressed peoples and how this trauma is evidenced in artistic expression, spirituality, archetype, and culture.

My hope is that this group, the Art of Voodoo, will be an extension of this mission, while at the same time having fun expanding our minds and the minds of others.
