"Hoodoo is an American term, originating in the 19th century or earlier. One of its meanings refers to African-American folk magic. Here is how i define the word "hoodoo":"
This is the same as you wrote in your post.
"Hoodoo consists of a large body of African folkloric practices and beliefs with a considerable admixture of American Indian botanical knowledge and European folklore. Although most of its adherents are black, contrary to popular opinion, it has always been practiced by both whites and blacks in America. Other regionally popular names for hoodoo in the black community include "conjuration," "conjure," "witchcraft," "rootwork," and "tricking.""

You did leave out a rather large portion of this text, but it is paraphrased.
When you wrote "The therm hoodoo is used by africans to refer to various terms such as african based system of magic spiritual medical healing and hexing", "The ancient origins of hoodoo is derived form a highly powerful system like magic-herb knowledge and spiritual mystery" and "you did NOT copy and paste.
You did, however, re-write it, again paraphrasing, since the site from which this comes does not allow the option to copy the information. It would explain the typos.

I have run a few covens. I have been council and members of a few more. I know how to check for plagiarism, and have taught others how to check for it as well.
It is HIGHLY unlikely that you just happened to remember these in such detail, when it does not match your regular spelling and writing style.
We welcome information from other sites. It shows that we have researched the topic we are discussing. Do NOT however, try to pass the information off as your own and hope no one notices. Furthermore, when you get caught, don't lie and think I won't show how you did in fact break the rules.
A perfectly good post was wasted just to show you your error and that you decided to lie about it.
Rashnu i will have to fix you on the written above about you wasting a perfect post...
Well that is the perfect post and it is for sure not wasted because you have proven his mistake and made him example for others , i hope that all will consider the plagiarism serious and will not lie in future...as for Salem, i hope you will post your sources in future or as all know -face the consequences - this is not a threat but a friendly advice.- To you all!
