The Real HooDoo talks Paranormal

Hoodoo prior to 1920's...
Hoodoo is a science..a technology, that utilizes the capabilities of the human spirit, mind and body to affect the total connection of the person with The Creator. It is a science that seeks out the truth of an issue and accepts it as being true only after it cannot be proven false. It is a technology because it utilizes the tools given for a proven result. Its tools are natural and simplistic, meaning they are intrinsic to nature and basic in composition. It is not religious, although many have thought it so. It has no deities, no worships nor dogma or creed. No clergy, places of worship or controlling spirits. While acknowledging The Creator as the All-Powerful it sees man as His greatest creation and the one possessing the fullest of His Potentiality. Besides The Creator there is no spirit greater or more powerful than the human being. It is many millennia old, as old as man himself, and is known throughout its history by various names......such as Hoodoo, Obeah, Kabbalah and Juju being the most recent.

This seems to be the most direct and explicit definition of Hoodoo without the use of exotic words and concepts.
