How to Do White Magic to Remove Voodoo Harm
First and foremost, it's important to remember that voodoo is a religion first. Most voodoo practitioners frown upon the use of spells of any kind. White magic is most often associated with Wicca or witchcraft, another religion. The closest thing voodoo offers to "white magic" as popularly perceived are protective charms. Everything in voodoo is related to spiritual forces and the guardian energy of the lwa. To effect positive change, the spell caster must engage in the goodwill of the lwa through symbol and ritual.

Light a lamp for the lwa. A magical lamp is a charm. The lamp can be blessed by the ougan or mambo. The lamps usually have a specific goal to protect, to bless, to treat or to ensure health. The lamp can be made from a number of different sources, such as a bowl, jug, coconut shell or bottle. The container is filled with oil, and a wick is threaded through it. The ougan adds special herbs and prayers. You light the lamp to invoke the magic and the blessings of the lwa.
