- Juju or Ju-Ju is a word of either West African or French origin used previously by Europeans to describe the traditional West African religion. . The term Juju refers to the use of such objects and other things to perform a form of "witchcraft". "An object of any kind superstitiously venerated by West African native tribes, and used as a charm, amulet, or means of protection; a fetish. Also the supernatural or magical power attributed to such objects, or the system of observances connected therewith; also a ban or interdiction effected by means of such an object (corresponding to the Polynesian taboo). " The term juju, and the practices associated with it, travelled to the Americas from West Africa with the influx of slaves and still survives in some areas, particularly among the various groups of Maroons, who have tended to preserve their African traditions.
