500 idle, maybe, for spell in Caribbean (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

voodoo

'spell in caribbean' is the definition.
(spell as in magic - voodoo is from the Caribbean)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for voodoo that I've seen before include "Caribbean magic cult" , "Form of magic" , "Jinx" , "Black magid from West Indies" , "Religious cult involving witchcraft" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
