The voodoo is mostly viewed only as bad magic and the media reports make the case worse by giving reports that depict as murder ritual. It is characterized by both construction and destruction because it can be used to give a healing or harmful outcome. This magic should not be in any case misused due to the fact that anything that you do and think can return to you. Scary voodoo dolls therefore are used to destroy and create beautiful 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.
Making your own doll should not be difficult as there are a number of guidelines available online. The head is the first part to be made with a piece of yarn and a foam ball which acts as the foundation. The size should be selected and the yarn wrapped around the foam until it cannot be seen at all. The ends are then secured with a drop of glue or woven through the middle of the foam.
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.
The voodoo is used for a number of reasons with the most common being love, luck, causing misery to enemies. Practitioners are often seen as people who stick pins in these dolls to cause torment to someone who is represented by it. In actual sense, this process is more complex as there are different pins that represent different feelings and emotions.
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.
