Voodoo, an ancient religion rooted in Benin, the Caribbean, and the southern United States, blends elements from traditional African beliefs and Catholicism. With diverse voodoo practices, some emphasize the use of magical rituals. To explore voodoo, craft and control your own voodoo doll or perform spells for love and protection. It's important to note that outcomes are not guaranteed, and dabbling in black magic carries risks.
Steps
Crafting a Voodoo Doll
Visualize a specific individual. Your voodoo doll must represent a particular person, so as you create it, visualize that person clearly in your mind. Voodoo relies on bridging the gap between our visible world and the invisible realm inhabited by spirits. Concentrate on the individual you wish to target with your doll to establish a connection with their spirit from the unseen world.
Select a photograph of the individual you wish to target and cut it out. To create an effective voodoo doll, it must accurately represent the person. Attach a photo of the individual onto a doll-shaped figure. Cut out the person's image from the photograph and ensure it matches the size and shape of the doll.
Cut fabric to match the size of the photograph. Use felt, cotton, or similar material to create the doll's body. Cut the fabric to correspond to the shape and dimensions of the photograph. Opt for natural fibers like cotton or wool for a more authentic voodoo doll experience.
Attach the photograph to the fabric and stuff the doll. Sew the photograph onto a fabric piece shaped like the photo, leaving an opening at the base. Fill the doll with stuffing through the opening, using materials like moss or leaves for an authentic touch. Once stuffed, sew the base closed.
Pro Tip: If you lack a photograph, stitch together two fabric pieces shaped like a doll. Stuff it and attach a personal item like hair, clothing, or a button belonging to the person onto the doll's front.
Envision the doll's intended purpose. Once the doll incorporates the individual's personal effects, their essence becomes intertwined with it. Close your eyes and focus your intent on the doll. Whether your goal is to cause harm or foster affection, concentrate your energy on your desired outcome.
Invoke a Loa to ensure the effectiveness of the spell. Concentrate on a specific Loa, requesting their assistance in ensuring that the voodoo doll accurately represents your intended target. Seek the Loa's guidance to help achieve your desired outcome, whether benevolent or malevolent.
- You can imbue your doll with the spirit of a chosen Loa to serve your purpose. For instance, focus on Ogun, the warrior Loa, to infuse your doll with courage and valor.
- Research the Loa to select one that aligns with your intentions for the voodoo doll.
Consecrate the voodoo doll and assign it a name. To finalize the process of imbuing the doll with the individual's essence, baptize it using water while reciting a baptismal prayer that includes the person's name. Drizzle water over the doll, recite the prayer twice, and make the sign of the cross before beginning the prayer.
- Recite the prayer: “I baptize you, (Person’s Name), all that I do to this doll, I do to you. Amen.”
- You can utilize holy water or sanctify a vial of water for this purpose.
- Purify the doll or release its spirit by baptizing it in saltwater.
Performing Love Spells
Position the voodoo doll of your desired individual near your bedside. If you seek affection from a specific person, create a voodoo doll infused with their essence and place it beside your pillow at night. Communicate with the doll, visualizing it as the person you desire.
- Voodoo tradition suggests that the individual's soul will hear your words and feel compelled to be with you.
- According to voodoo beliefs, situating the voodoo doll beside your bed prevents the desired person from engaging in intimate relations with another.
Give someone enchanted voodoo oil to bind them to you. Mix 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of vegetable oil with one of your eyelashes, allowing it to steep overnight. Have your desired partner dip their index finger into the oil for a minute. Apply the oil from their finger to your lips and kiss them. According to voodoo tradition, this act will bond the individual to you.
- The individual must already harbor an attraction to you for the spell to take effect.
Pro Tip: Encourage the individual to dip their finger into the oil to check its temperature, ensuring they don't suspect anything.
Combine names on paper to attract someone to you. Write the name of the desired person four times on the left side of a piece of paper and your name five times on the right side. Seal the paper by dripping four drops of melted purple candle wax onto the left side and folding it. Submerge the paper in water in a dish and burn a red candle on top.
- According to voodoo beliefs, as the red candle wax mixes with the water, the person will become drawn to you.
Inscribe your lucky number inside your undergarments. Calculate the total number of letters in the first and last names of your desired individual. Combine these two numbers to determine your lucky number for the love spell. Write this number inside all your underwear.
- For example, if the person's name is Timothy Smith, your lucky number would be 75 (7 letters in Timothy + 5 letters in Smith).
Executing Additional Rites
Inflict harm by inserting colored pins into a person's voodoo doll. Use brightly colored pins to pierce a voodoo doll linked to another person in order to cause them harm. For instance, inserting a red pin into the doll's head may compel them to comply with your desires.
- Target specific areas by inserting pins. For example, piercing the doll's knee could cause pain in the person's knee.
Caution: Exercise caution when employing voodoo for malevolent purposes. Practitioners believe that every action has consequences, and you may be required to endure suffering to atone for your wicked deeds.
Utilize a person's voodoo doll for malicious intent. Submerge the doll in water to simulate drowning or the struggle for breath. Hang the doll with a rope to inflict torment upon the individual it represents. Employ imagination to envisage the suffering you wish to inflict upon the person when manipulating their doll.
- Employ traditional torture methods to inflict pain through the doll.
- Exercise caution when using fire or heat to harm someone, as the doll may ignite.
- View the voodoo doll as a means of catharsis, allowing you to vent frustrations by envisioning various methods of harming the person it embodies.
Transmit the ailment of a sick or injured individual to their voodoo doll to facilitate healing. Craft a voodoo doll resembling the afflicted person. Visualize extracting the illness, injury, or ailment from the individual and transferring it into the doll. Drive a nail into the corresponding point on the doll where the malady originated.
- After conducting the ritual, bury the doll or cast it into flowing water.
- Use white fabric to fashion the voodoo doll.
- Perform the ritual during the waning phase of the moon.
Enact a dominance spell to compel obedience from another individual. Inscribe the target's name on paper, encase a photograph of them folded three times along with a personal item like hair or nails inside the paper, and fold it into a package. Ignite a green candle, focus on the person, and invoke Loa Simbi for assistance. Insert a pin into the green candle, light two additional green candles, and insert a pin into each.
- Allow the candles to burn down completely.
- Upon completion of the ritual, offer all items to Loa Simbi by discarding them into a body of water such as a river or lake.
