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.
This art can be traced back to the 16th century in during the slave trade when Africans found settled in Haiti which was under Islam and Hindu beliefs. Due to this mixture of religions, the voodoo arose and later returned to Africa where it is mostly practiced in the west. It is used as a cure for a variety of illnesses in the countries of Gabon and Ghana.
If you want to make your own doll, there are guidelines online that will help you. The head is the first part to be made with the use of a foam ball and a piece of yarn. Wrap completely until the foam is completely out of sight keeping in mind the desired size. To prevent the ends from running, secure them by weaving through the middle of the ball or by a drop of glue.
A body of a certain length is then chosen and yarn is looped around it a couple of times. This process should be done twice where one looped part will become the right arm and leg and the other part will become the left arm and leg. The head should always be bigger than the body for a cuter doll.
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.
You then need to wrap the under armpit down to your hips starting from the top to the bottom up to the torso then up again. The chubbier you want the doll to be, the more times you repeat this step. The last step involves gluing or sewing the eyes on. Buttons are the best option for nice eyes while some people 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.
Various things are symbolized by different colors on the pins as well. You should be sure of what thing you want to manifest in your life. Once this happens, the pin is stuck in the stomach or heart region that show the hearts desire and the gut feeling. You then wait and trusts upon your own power that the universe will play its role of helping you get what you want.
