voodooist

/ˈvuˌduɪst/ noun

A practitioner or student of voodoo.

Word Origin 'Voodoo' comes from the Fon language of West Africa, 'vodũ' meaning spirit or deity. A 'voodooist' is one who practices voodoo. The same root gives us 'voodooism', and the variant 'hoodoo'. The suffix '-ist' from Greek '-istes' indicates a practitioner, as in 'artist', 'scientist'. So 'voodooist' is literally 'one who works with spirits'.
