I find it with fascination too. I bought my voodoo doll off a kit. This isn't my video, BTW. I just don't know how he does it.

Voodoo is great. But you have to realize that it's so much more than sticking pins in dolls. In fact, that is not even a traditional voodoo practice and probably has its origins in Louisianan Hoodoo which is an eclectic form of folk magick. In voodoo we serve the Loa's. The spirits of the supreme God or universal force. They need us and we need them. They are referred to as horsemen at times as this is how they possess the followers, by riding on their backs. Legba, who is the first Loa that is called upon, is the lord of the crossroads. You have to talk to him before you can access the rest of the spirit world. Then you may call on the other Loa. And there are many, often a Loa for everything you can think of as they are extensions of God. Have fun.

From the James Randi Educational Foundation Encyclopedia: http://www.randi.org/joom/wrapper.html VOODOO: A religion of the West Indies, and specifically Haiti, originating with the slaves imported from Africa, who combined their gods with the Christian religious figures and through Macumba, Obeah (Jamaica), and other variations of this process created a great number of specific religions now popular in the Caribbean. Voodoo itself is most well-known for its use of the wax doll to effect changes on a subject. A doll, preferably made using the hair, nail parings, and/or clothing of the intended subject, and baptized in that name, is subjected to various procedures such as pin-pricking, melting, or being submerged in water. The subject is said to undergo the actual experiences to which the doll has been exposed. Though there is no evidence that such a system works, it has been postulated by modern authorities that perhaps a process of suggestion is involved, if the subject is informed of what has been intended and believes that it can work. -------------- In other words, it's total baloney!
