Exactly how voodoo began cannot be traced. However, it has been known to exist for already thousands of years in Africa and has become a major religion in the area. With the passing of time, this religious belief has become very mixed with many other religious beliefs since the practice of voodoo is not limited to be just voodoo alone. You can try to mix 'how to do voodoo' with 'how to do wicca' and many other spell casting beliefs. As to how voodoo spread worldwide, it obviously began when the African slavery was widely practiced by the whites. Although the original practice of voodoo is all about goodness, many African slaves practiced voodoo to supposedly harm their cruel masters. They took delight in harming their cruel masters. Voodoo therefore became a means to threaten the whites. Many whites turned to voodoo practitioners for help when they needed help. One of the most popular voodoo queens was Marie Laveau. She lived in the 18th century and was well known to mix the practice of voodoo to Catholicism. She lived in New Orleans, and at that time, there were many voodoo practitioners in New Orleans.
The New Orleans voodoo doll has become the simplest type of voodoo doll to create. Here's how:
Prepare the following: -2 strong sticks, the other should be longer than the other. -spanish moss (or some other herbs such as lavender) -left over fabric - cut into 2-3 inch strips, you must have enough to cover the sticks and the spanish moss. reminders: colors have meaning, red - power, blue - love, green - money, purple - psychic development and commanding presence, yellow - success, black - repelling negativity -yarn to represent hair in case you cannot obtain the person's hair, string, hemp cord, or waxed thread. - 2 beads, buttons, or black eyed peas that will become the eyes of your doll - needle and thread in a color to match or contrast your fabric - glue
Steps in how to make a voodoo doll:
Make a cross shaped figure with the sticks. The shorter sticks will be the 'hands' Use a string to tie them. Make sure that they're securely tied. Get the Spanish moss and wrap it all around the cross stick. Then get the fabric strips and wrap those to the spanish moss. You can also have the option to add real hair with the spanish moss to make sure that you have secured a personal property of that person inside the doll. Make eyes by attaching the beads, buttons or the peas to the 'face', then you can personalize the voodoo doll by adding more personal belongings of the person to the voodoo doll. It is very important for you to have intense concentration while you are making the voodoo doll.
