According to Curtis Edwards, Pagan Pentecostalism: Its Roots: Sex, Sin & Slavery, Pagan Pentecostalism: Its Roots: Sex, Sin & Slavery: Edwards, Curtis: 9781500858087: Amazon.com: Books Voodoo was the religion of African slaves. And even before slavery, they would voodoo any religion they took part in. They had voodoo Catholicism in their homeland for the main part.
Then after coming to Haitian and American shores, they voodooed whatever religion they encountered. Voodoo Methodism and voodoo Baptist churches, were common in Louisiana.
Wm. Seymour tried to voodoo the Church of God (Anderson In.) but got expelled. Shortly thereafter, he voodooed his Wesley Methodism at Azusa Street Mission in Los Angeles. He thought voodoo tongues were the same as Bible tongues. This became the Assemblies of God denomination with the Oneness United Pentecostal Church splitting off from them over their antitrinitarian views.
