Below is some interesting information about the origins of the word JUJU.                      Juju is a folk magic in West Africa; within juju, a variety of concepts exist. Juju charms and spells can be used to inflict either bad or good juju. According to some authors, “It is neither good nor bad, but it may be used for constructive purposes as well as for nefarious deeds.”[9] Juju charms can at times employ Arabic texts written by Islamic religious leaders.[10] A “juju man” is any man vetted by local traditions and well versed in traditional spiritual medicines.[11]

Juju is sometimes used to enforce a contract or ensure compliance. In a typical scenario, the witch doctor casting the spell requires payment for this service.[12]

The word Juju is used in the African Diaspora to describe all forms of charms made in African Diaspora Religions and African Traditional Religions.[13]
