I've heard in New Orleans, they have voodoo practitioners. What do they do, and are their hexes effective?

Voodoo is an African-based spiritual practice that combines aspects of Catholicism and African traditional religions. In its most basic form, it is believed to be used as a form of magic to manipulate the spiritual world and is often seen as a form of black magic. It is believed to have hexes, but their effectiveness depends on the practitioner’s skill and belief.
