I already said in the previous post that Here Be Boring Dragon is my old blog, but why this one is called Digital Voodoo?

For simple reasons, believe me:

- I'm not that keen on re-using names or even contents, although I intend to re-post some of the old posts from ye olde blog here. Everything must flow, like water, continuously changing their shape, or in case of a blog, title and theme;
- while we can convene that Hic sunt Dracones is still something that can be applied even today, one of the greatest metaphors that I like to use talking about the Web and, more generally, the unknown, is Digital Voodoo. Why? Let's see why.

From the [Cambridge dictionary](https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/voodoo?ref=digitalvoodoo.eu), Voodoo means:

> [various](https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/various?ref=digitalvoodoo.eu) [forms](https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/form?ref=digitalvoodoo.eu) of [religion](https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/religion?ref=digitalvoodoo.eu), [influenced](https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/influence?ref=digitalvoodoo.eu) by [traditional](https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/traditional?ref=digitalvoodoo.eu) [African](https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/african?ref=digitalvoodoo.eu) [religions](https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/religion?ref=digitalvoodoo.eu), that [involve](https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/involve?ref=digitalvoodoo.eu) [magic](https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/magic?ref=digitalvoodoo.eu) and [attempts](https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/attempt?ref=digitalvoodoo.eu) to [communicate](https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/communicate?ref=digitalvoodoo.eu) with [spirits](https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/spirits?ref=digitalvoodoo.eu) and [dead](https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/dead?ref=digitalvoodoo.eu) [people](https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/people?ref=digitalvoodoo.eu), [found](https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/found?ref=digitalvoodoo.eu) in [parts](https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/part?ref=digitalvoodoo.eu) of the [Caribbean](https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/caribbean?ref=digitalvoodoo.eu), [especially](https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/especially?ref=digitalvoodoo.eu) Haiti, and in [parts](https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/part?ref=digitalvoodoo.eu) of the [southern](https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/south?ref=digitalvoodoo.eu) US

Magic - that can't be explained or hard to comprehend, attempts to communicate with spirits - aka individuals or not that aren't close to you phisically and/or mentally.

Something that can't be explained or it's hard to comprehend, wrote in an attempt to communicate with unknown or very far individuals. I mean, it is basically what a blog should be, right?

And so Digital Voodoo sounds now like the most appropriate name for a new blog. I will try to post on this thing regularly, although I foresee there will be some interferences in the foreseeable future (next on this in another post - hah, see what I did there?!)
