Voodoo is usually perceived solely as black magic and many reports exaggerate the matter with the presentation of ritual murder. However, it is actually a kind of magic that can be used to cause harm as well as healing thus consisting of the elements of construction and destruction. Some people misuse this magic forgetting that everything we do and think can return on our own. Scary voodoo dolls can therefore be used to create something beautiful and similarly create destructive things.
Researchers claim that it originated in the 16th century where African slaves found themselves in Haiti while being ruled by Hindu and Islam religions. The practice then came to being due to this mixture of religions after which it came back to Africa where it is still practiced in the west. In Gabon and Ghana to be specific, the magic is used to cure many diseases.
You can make your own doll using various methods that are available in the internet. The first step involves using a foam ball and a yarn where the ball will serve as the head. It is wrapped completely depending on the size wanted until the foam cannot be seen anymore. The ends are either secured with a drop of glue or woven through the middle of the ball.
The second step is looping a section of yarn to a body of length several times. It is normally repeated once where one looped bit will be the left arm and leg while the other looped bit will be the right arm and leg. For a doll to look good, the head should be quite big compared to the body.
The two pieces are then joined by wrapping them together top to bottom using a string. The wrapping is done starting from the bottom working your way to the top in a coiling formula. Again, the ends should be well secured and the wrapping should be tight. Loop several bits of string around the head then place the wrapped pieces like limbs.
The under armpit is wrapped downwards to the torso starting from the top to the bottom then up again. This step is to be repeated if a chubbier doll is wanted. The final step involves sewing or gluing eyes on the doll for a complete look. Most people use buttons which make the best eyes while others use a number of beads.
People use the dolls for different reasons such as love, luck, bringing misery to enemies and many more. The most common stereotype about a practitioner is that they stick pins in the dolls in order to torment the people represented by it. In reality, the process in more complex as there are different emotions and feelings attached to different types of pins that are used.
Additionally, there are different colors used to symbolize different things. A practitioner should think carefully on what thing they want and how it will affect their lives. After they have done it, they will stick pins in the stomach and heart regions of the doll that goes in line with what the heart desires and intuition respectively.
