Voodoo Doll

The term Voodoo doll is commonly employed to describe an effigy into which pins are inserted. Although it comes in

various different forms, such practices are found in the magical traditions of many cultures across the world. Although the use of the term Voodoo implies that the practice has links to either the religion of Haitian Vodou or Louisiana Voodoo, in reality, it does not have a prominent place in either. Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau alledgedly had a recipe for making voodoo dolls, in New Orleans.
