The Voodoo Doll is a small doll made of stick and stuffing, that is a representation of a person. The practice of voodoo dolls to cure the sick and unhealthy has its place in the lost passage of time. Its meaning started out of a way of healing which then leads to the idea of inflicting pain and torment.

This very easy and simple idea has its grounds in reality the transference of a persons “soul” would be placed in the doll and would in fact be you. The doll now has a piece of you, it could be a ring, a lock of hair or even personal “body” liquids (tried my best to be discrete). Now the doll has your person inside of it whatever the dolls controller wishes to do to you it will affect you.

Why and how this works: Simply put for any of this stuff to work or affect you one must wish and want to believe it to be so. This is the old act and case of mind over matter. Hypnotists use this to control subjects making them think they cluck like a chicken or stop smoking. As long as the subject thinks its powerless to stop it they will do as the other commands.

Three things are at work with the voodoo doll

First: the voodoo priest or witch holds the doll and never do they give it to the person. They simply say this doll represents you. By doing this you are right from the start completely in their control. The idea of a person having you in their hands is one of the major tactics in the game.

Second: taking a personal item of yours this is the “soul” they prey on your belief in the idea of a Soul and say they are taking yours by Transference or osmosis. Now you are completely invested in the game

Third: pins or string or whatever is used on the doll will affect you. By doing this you will do what is happening cause A: you see it and B: they tell you or start singing a chant or prayer
