Should the distinction between Hoodoo and Vodun (and the PoD error) be made more explicit, here? Or are we working under the assumption that in the Supernatural 'verse, Hoodoo and Vodun are actually the same thing?

Please correct if we've made an error :D Do we have a page on Vodun?

Um. Not a wiki error. I meant the confusion between "Voodoo" and Hoodoo on the part of the original author of the Pad of Definitions definition. Agh. I see to complicate things they've written in their "voodoo" def.: " Voodoo is more or less synonymous with hoodoo and is not to be confused with the religion of Vodou."  ??? I'm certainly no expert, but as far as I can tell, voodoo and hoodoo are really NOT synonymous, and Voodoo is just another of the many spellings of the Vodun/etc. religion? I guess I was asking... Are definitions from the website considered canon, and therefore unarguable? I mean, in the Winchester's 'verse, are hoodoo and voodoo all the same thing? Or can some mention be made, as an aside, that some may consider the definition to be in error?
