Why didn't these Africans use it on the Europeans when they were enslaving them? Or as @Pipit said bag a rich girl? Why go through all this trouble for hippo xalimo?
I don't know man.
As for historical shit, there was serious vodou practices that occured right before the haitian revolution, they basically killed all the cadaans on that island, murked the mullatos and held of Napoleon's France, Spain and the Brits, that shit lasted 12 years. They fought and held off 3 world superpowers with nothing but slaves for 12 years.
Either way, all I'm saying is shits existence has been recorded in many different historical documents, and it's acknowledged in Islam as well. I can't tell you the motives and reasoning behind a practitioner of it, nor do I want anything to do with it, but I acknowledge it's existence.
