Voodoo is an ancient religion orginated from southern part of Africa. Voodoo dolls were
created because the religion required a medium when ritual is performed or spell is casted.
The original form of the voodoo doll was made from animal bones and straw. Due to the
ugly looking of the doll and the mystical ritual performed around the dolls, most people
think that the voodoo is an evil religion. As such, the voodoo dolls and its spell also bear
an evil characteristic in them. In actual fact, not all voodoo spells are bad. There are
positive side of the voodoo spells as some are for curing, healing, protection and love,
etc, etc. Some of the modern day designers take upon this positive aspect of the voodoo
and created some cute and refined voodoo dolls. For ease of identification, they also
created different theme behind each category of the voodoo dolls. Most of these newly
created voodoo dolls can be easily carried in the owner's pocket or bays. This is to ensure
that the dolls are there in time of need to either protect or help you.
The dolls first became popular in Taiwan, Korea and Japan. It later spreads to other parts
of South East Asia and now its reach is even extended to America and Europe. All the voodoo
dolls are hand made from one single thread.
