Voodoo dolls the hidden Mystery
Do you want to know how to do Voodoo? So do a lot people, and most of
them particularly want to know how to use Voodoo dolls. The use of
Voodoo dolls has become well-known in popular culture mostly through
movies, books, and television. Voodoo has also been portrayed as a dark,
mysterious, and often morbid tradition. In actuality, Voodoo is simply a West African religion, which is also known by similar names like Vodun, Vodoun, Vodou, Vudu, and Voudou. Voodoo practices include much more than the use of dolls, and involve circle rituals, dancing, singing, drumming, and ancestor worship.
But let's focus for a moment on
Voodoo dolls. If you want to know how to
do Voodoo you have to know something about the use of the Voodoo doll. A
Voodoo doll, in more normal magical terms, is a simulacrum. A simulacrum
is an object that is a likeness of something. In magical operations, if
you want to affect a person without direct action, you could choose an
object that resembles the person (like a small figurine) and make a
psychic connection between the object and the person. To make this
psychic connection, also called "keying," you just hold the object in
your dominant hand and think of the person. Flow thoughts and energy
about that person into the object until the object begins to feel warm
or tingly. Now the object is connected to the person and, depending on
how strong the connection is, anything that happens to the object also
happens to the person.
For a simulacrum you can use photographs, pictures, dolls and other
small models, lists, symbols, Tarot layouts, and other objects as
simulacra. You can also use chess pieces or objects made of stone,
ceramic, wood or glass. If you use wood be sure it is fairly dense
otherwise it will not easily key. Plastic and rubber do not key well so
don't use them. According to the Law of Similarity, the greater the
likeness between a simulacrum and that to which the simulacrum is keyed,
the greater the psychic connection will be. Photographs and pictures
have a great likeness to the original subjects and they already access
the original subjects. So now you know a little more about how to do
Voodoo, or at least the principles of how Voodoo dolls work.
Handle Voodoo Dolls with Care
Of course, be very careful about keying simulacra. If the connection
between the simulacra and person is very strong, anything that happens
to the object happens to the person. If something accidental happens to
the simulacra and also happens to the person, according the Rules of the
Road (the laws that govern magical practice) the Universe will hold you
responsible. You really don't want that kind of karma on your hands. For
instance, once a practitioner keyed a figurine to a person and then left
the figurine on a table. While the practitioner was out of the house,
his cats began playing with the figurine, batting it about and throwing
it in the air. The person to whom the figurine was keyed felt horribly
nauseous and dizzy until the practitioner returned home and rescued the
figurine. Take this example as a warning if you want to learn how to do
Voodoo. Don't key anything for which you don't want to be ultimately and
forever responsible!
