That's what I wanted to point out: Voodoo is listed among those attributes and beliefs, but its the only religion on this list. If the list is supposed to cover particular religions as well, where's the rest?

Conclusion: The artist misunderstood Voodoo as merely being a collection of (oc)cultist beliefs/rituals.
