Devotional
dolls created in honor of our beloved Voodoo
Spirits
Custom Voodoo Altar
dolls are those designed to invoke the power of a specific
loa to assist in the daily matters of its possessor. These
dolls are a form of devotional doll, created in a ritualized
manner to represent a specific Spirit.
Each Voodoo
Altar doll is uniquely handcrafted
so please allow for individual variations. The one you
receive will vary slightly due to the fabrics, feathers,
beads, shells, buttons, and other elements used to create
each Altar doll. However, your Altar doll will be every bit as powerful and
beautiful as the ones pictured.
Please note that orders for custom
Hoodoo dolls
will take up to 6-8 weeks to be filled due to the sheer number of
dolls ordered and I currently have a back log of dolls to complete.
Please do not order a
doll unless you are willing to be patient and wait for it. Thank you
for your understanding.

The
Voodoo Queen of New Orleans. More than anyone else, Marie Laveaux put New
Orleans Voodoo on the map with her powerful magic and infamous ceremonies held
in what are now Congo Square, Bayou St. John, and Lake Ponchartrain. Oral
traditions suggest that the occult part of her magic mixed Roman Catholic
beliefs and saints with African spirits and religious concepts. She is believed
to be born in 1794 in a French and Spanish City, where the Catholic Church
dominated the lives of its citizens. She is celebrated every year on St. John’s
Eve, the foremost Voodoo holiday in New Orleans. St. John’s day corresponds with
the summer solstice. This same celebration has taken place for almost 300 years;
many of those years in Congo Square, though today the celebrations are much more
discreet.
Simbi oversees the
making of charms, and is very helpful with all magical
work, including divinations & granting second-sight. He
has a very gentle nature and usually lives near marshes
and ponds. As the master of all magicians, he can bring
an incredible amount of power to any ritual or spiritual
work!

Orunla is the Santeria Orisha of Fate, owner of
divination, and giver of wisdom to find solutions to all of life's problems.
Orunla is likened to St. Francis of Asisi because of their similar humbleness
and simplicity.
Orunla works through the table
of IFA, transmitting the will of Olofi to those of us here on earth. All major
decisions of the religion must have the approval of Orunla and an individual's
guardian angel must be determined by Orunla though a specialized ritual
consulting the Oracle.
Orunla is the great benefactor
of humanity and its principal adviser. He reveals the future through the secret
of Ifa, the supreme oracle. Orunla is also a great healer. Whoever ignores his
advice may suffer the curse of Echu (not a good thing).
Orunla's favorite animals and
objects include kola nuts, palm nuts, and crocodiles. His power object is the
Ifa board, which is a percussion instrument used in ceremony. A whisk of horse
hair is also used to drive away evil. Offerings to Orunla should include yams
and black chickens.

Brigit, Manman Brijit) is the mother of
cemeteries, the loa of money and death, and the
wife of Baron Samedi. She may be related to the

Irish in origin. She is usually depicted as a
white woman. The first woman's grave in a
cemetery in Haiti is dedicated to her. Her

Spirits, she is a "potty mouth" and uses
profanity. Ma'man Brigit will protect
gravestones if they are marked properly with a
cross. Ma'man Brigit is known to rub her private
parts with hot peppers, and those who appear to
be faking possession by her in a Vodou ceremony
may be subjected to this test, which they
obviously would not pass if their possession is
not genuine.
A very
powerful Lwa, Manman Brigit rules the Ghede and transitions
of life and death, major life changes, cemeteries, money and
children. Ma'man Brigit is invoked to cure those who are

Chango is the god of fire, thunder, power, and
sensuality. He has the power to help you win wars, defeat your enemies, and can
help you gain power over others. He will ensure you are victorious over all of
your difficulties. Chango is believed to have once been a Yoruban king; thus, he
must be treated as such.
Santa Barbara Bendita is the
Catholic Saint used to represent Chango. The reason this Saint represents Chango
is because of the use of the color red and the sword. Also, in many depictions
of this Saint, there is castle in the picture, and since Chango was a King, the
castle was a fitting correspondence.
Chango is a very righteous Orisha and loves to do
his part in righting wrongs. He is there to see that "what goes around comes
around". Chango was literally a king in Africa, whose spirit after death was
elevated to the level of an Orisha.
While alive on earth, he showed no mercy to his enemies and his fame spread all
over much of Africa, where even the Bantus of the Congo area came to honor him.
There he was called Nsasi. The Araras of neighboring Dahomey called him
Jevioso and Jakuta, which means the Thrower of the
Thunderstones.
Many of the stories about
Chango have to do with his relations with women. Yemaya was his mother. He had
relationships with Ochun, Oya, and Obba. Obba was his legitimate wife, but he
spent more time with Ochun and Oya. He was a true womanizer and women loved him.
After he exchanged his divination tools with Orunla in exchange for Orunla's
ability to dance, there was no stopping him. Of course all of this caused
problems and Chango often had to spend much time at war. Chango was a keen
diviner and used his "ache" to come out victorious on many occasions. The
children of Chango usually are born with good psychic abilities, also. So, if
Chango is your father, try to develop your spirituality to the utmost.

Mami Wata
Serket,

Ayida Wedo,
Rainbow Serpent
Serket is the ancient Egyptian
scorpion goddess of magic. She is also believed to be a
protector goddess, and guardian of the canopic jars which
were the vessels where the organs of mummified people were
kept. It was believed that she had power over all snakes,
reptiles, and poisonous animals and she was thought to
especially protect children and pregnant women from these
beings. She punishes wrong-doers with a vengeance,
particularly if they threaten women and children. She was
believed to be either the mother or daughter of the sun god
Ra, and thus her wrath was thought to be like the burning,
midday sun.
Serket is a very special
goddess. Not only does she protect the living and heal those
sick with venom, she protects the dead, revives the dead,
and introduces them to an afterlife. She even protects the
other gods from the serpent-demon, Apep.

snakes, and a companion or
wife to
Damballa. She represents
the sky powers and the rainbow is her symbol. She functions
as protector of the cosmos and giver of blessings.
Long ago, the serpent spirit
Dambala created the world. He used his 7,000 coils to form
the stars and the planets in the heavens and to shape the
hills and valleys on earth. He used lightning bolts to forge
metals and make the sacred rocks and stones. When he shed
his skin he created all the waters on the earth. And when
the sun showed through mist settling on the plants and trees
a rainbow was born. Her name was Ayida Wedo. Dambala loved
her and made her his wife. They are still together today,
the serpent and the rainbow: Dambala and Ayida Wedo.

African
Witchdoctor
Djab,
Wild Spirit of Vodou
Papa
Gator, King of the Louisiana Swamps
Crafted after the archetypal
African Witchdoctor with the power of Ju Ju at his
fingertips. Comes with his own Ju Ju Powder and bottle of
African Ju Ju Oil.
These Voodoo Altar dolls are inspired by the
powerful magickal beings known as the djab. Although the
word “djab” is derived from the French word “diable”
(devil), djabs are personal spirits that belong to a
specific person and not akin to the devil in the Christian
sense of the word. Often the relationship between the djab
and the person is in the form of a magickal contract. A djab
is most frequently invoked to get rid of enemies, take
action against an enemy or business competitor, increase
one's wealth, or to create other material successes. In
addition, djabs are used for healing purposes. While djabs
are happy to provide their services, they do require payment
from their possessor on a regular basis. If they are not
tended to appropriately, djabs are fast to punish and have
been known to punish severely, including punishments of
death.Djabs are quite colorful characters actually,
and have been known to dance in the streets, usually in
groups of four, singing unusual songs, banging trash cans
and clanking chains. While they are spiritual
& magickal
beings, they are tied to the physical world, unlike the
Loas. The typically reside in crossroads, landmarks, and the
bodies of animals.There are
many types of djabs, all of which are different and unique
beings. Characteristically mischievous, djabs can be
summoned for malevolent reasons and are typically done so by
a Bokor. Djabs can cause death by absorbing the life force
of an intended victim.
Hoodoo revolves
around veneration of water spirits, the least of which is one of Louisiana's
most ancient residents – the ALLIGATOR. This Swamp Granny Hoodoo Gator
carries with her the essence of rootwork,
and is the keeper of ancient wisdom.
San Simón, also
known as Maximón (Masheemon) is a folk saint venerated in various
forms by Mayan people of Western Guatemala. San Simón is
referred to as “Champion of the Hopeless” by some folks
because of his ability and willingness to work with just
about anyone for just about anything. He is able to grant
wishes of any kind, if you offer him the right gifts.
La
Santísima Muerte, also known as Señora de las
Sombras ("Lady of the Shadows"), Señora de la Noche (Lady of the Night),
Señora Blanca ("White Lady"), Señora Negra ("Black Lady"), Niña
Santa ("Holy Girl"), and La Flaca ("The Skinny One"),
is a great
example of the syncretization of Catholicism and Mesoamerican spiritual
traditions. She is petitioned for favors of all kinds, though she is believed to
have the power to perform miracles. She can make
someone fall in love with you or cause someone to die for you if it is
justified.The spiritual
tradition of
La
Santísima Muerte has been practiced mostly in privacy until recently, though it remains
condemned by the Catholic Church in Mexico.
Pomba Gira is a spirit that is
easy to relate to in that her imagery in her many
manifestations is related to urban
or street life and the everyday animal instincts and desires
of people (vices, lust, indulgences, etc). She is very
human, with concerns of the flesh and material nature, and
shares in our human weaknesses.

Hawk is invoked routinely by the bishops in the Spiritualist
churches in New Orleans. His altar in the Spiritualist
church is that of a teepee with a plate of incense on the
floor in the front. He is frequently found alongside images

Expedite is the patron saint of those who need fast
solutions to problems, who strive to put an end to
procrastination and delays, and who seek financial
success.In hoodoo, it is customary to offer St. Expedite
pound cake, flowers, and a glass of water. In New Orleans,
we typically offer him Sara Lee pound cake. He is believed
to grant any request within his power provided the

are used in gambling charms and crossing rituals.

Anthony of Padua is widely recognized as a miracle worker.

In New Orleans, it is said that Marie Laveaux always kept a
statue of St. Anthony in her front yard and when she was
“doing a work” she would turn the statue upside down. The
upside down position of the statue of St. Anthony let people
know she should not be disturbed at that point in time. When
she was done with her work, she would turn him right side up
again and availed herself to visitors.

law enforcement, and the military. St.
Michael the Archangel is the angel of protection,
courage, justice, and strength. He is the
defender of fire and of the south. In hoodoo, he is
used to overcome obstacles, defeat enemies, remove evil, and
fight sickness. He is sometimes
associated with divination in Louisiana Voodoo.
St. Michael can be found alongside Black Hawk and Dr. Martin
Luther King in Spiritualist Churches as one of three
warriors who fight injustice on our behalf.

is highly venerated in New Orleans. On St. Joseph's Day he
is honored with lavish altars, good food, and celebration.
He stands beside Black Hawk and Moses in the spiritualists
churches as a patron saint of social justice.
St. Joseph is
considered
the patron saint of families in New Orleans.
He can help find a job, sell or
rent house, and is a sympathetic
defender of lovelorn men. New Orleanians who suspect their
wives of infidelity will often come to St. Joseph for his
help. They reason that since his wife had someone else’s
baby, he will understand their plight and come to their aid.

The Voodoo
Doll Spellbook: A
Compendium of Ancient and Contemporary Spells &Rituals
by Denise Alvarado
If you should wake up in
the morning and find a little black coffin on your front porch, what
would you do? Would you open it? What if you opened it and found a doll
inside that had your photo attached to it?
Commissioner Denizac did. "These
are faceless cowards, people with small minds, trying to deviate me from
the job I was appointed to do," Denizac said on the news. "I'm not
afraid. I'm still going to speak my mind. Nothing is going to shut me
up."2
Still, the doll was considered a threat to
the safety and wellbeing of the Commissioner by authorities, prompting
beefed up security and a full-blown investigation. No one believes in
this Voodoo stuff, though, despite the fact that folks looked over their
shoulders for a few serpents and rainbows for weeks following the
incident.
Seemingly more than ever, there is a
pervasive fascination with the subject of ghosts and the paranormal,
haunted and cursed dolls, and things that go “bump in the night”. This
fascination is generally attributed to Hollywood’s fusion of folklore
with science fiction and the presentation of such images on the big
screen. No where is this more evident than with the prevailing public
icon of the Voodoo religion – the Voodoo doll. The image of the pin
stuck doll is so embedded in the collective psyche of the general public
that the thought of using a Voodoo doll any differently seemingly defies
all logic.
Hollywood and the media are not the only
ones to blame for the prevailing attitude, however. They simply took a
longstanding stereotype and ran with it. In fact, the presentation of
the evil Voodoo doll began with the enslavement of African people and
subsequent attempts to dehumanize them. Part of the process of
dehumanization included demonizing their religions.
This book is meant to be a celebration of
the ancient art of doll magick. It is true that dolls are used now, as
they were in the past, in a variety of religious, spiritual and magickal
traditions. Exploring the breadth and depth of these traditions is, in
the very least interesting. At most, it is fascinating. As you read this
book, you will discover that doll magick goes far beyond sticking pins
in them for revenge. For centuries, cultures across the globe have used
the ancient techniques of image magick, contagious magick, and
sympathetic magick in combination with a doll or effigy to control all
aspects of life.
The great and powerful
Voodoo Queen of New Orleans, Marie Laveau, often engaged in psychological
warfare.
She would frequently create little dolls and place them on the doorsteps
of enemies, or use them to win court cases, or to unite lovers. She had
any number of brilliant methods for gaining the knowledge she needed to
cast effective spells. One ploy was to place surreptitiously a Voodoo
doll near the front door of her victims, more often than not the
house-servants of well-known New Orleans families. When the Voodoo doll
was discovered, the victim was convinced they had been hexed by someone
other than Marie, and would run to the Bosswoman (as Marie was known by
the locals) for help. Marie would agree to render the doll harmless if
the victim agreed to act as her spy and provide her with information
about the affairs of the prominent family where the victim worked. Now
that is one hell of a magickal manipulation!
From the author of
Voodoo Dolls in Magick and Ritual, Alvarado’s collection of spells and
folklore captures perfectly the drama and mystery of humankind’s
relationship with magickal dolls throughout history. With contributions
by Doktor Snake, Sharon Marino, and Carolina Dean, the triumphs and
hardships of daily life are in the rituals, words, and formulas, set
against the spiritual backdrop of ancient Greece, Malay, Mexico, Africa,
Europe, the Deep South and New Orleans. Whether you are a practitioner
of the occult or simply a lover of folklore, you will find this book
provocative, alluring, informative and entertaining.
How would you like to
open Marie Laveau's trick bag of Voodoo Doll spells? The Great and
Powerful Voodoo Queen of New Orleans, Marie Laveau, was known to create
little dolls and place them on the doorsteps of enemies, or use them to
win court cases, or to unite lovers. She had a veritable goldmine of
brilliant methods for gaining the knowledge she needed for her spells to
be effective. One ploy was to surreptitiously place a Voodoo doll near
the front door of her victims, more often than not the house-servants of
well-known New Orleans families. When the Voodoo doll was discovered,
the victim was convinced they had been hexed by someone other than
Marie, and would run to Mam'zelle for help. Marie would render the doll
harmless if the victim agreed to act as her spy and provide her with
information about the affairs of the prominent family where the victim
worked. Now that is one hell of a magickal manipulation!

Voodoo doll and how to protect yourself with a Voodoo doll.

iceberg.
How would you like to
know how to make your wishes come true? Or find true love? Catch a
thief? Keep your dog or cat from wandering off? Break a curse? Or drive
someone crazy?
Many of the spells in
this book are based on ancient recipes and rituals that are found in the
anthropological literature and archeological records, such as spells
from ancient Egypt, Chaldea, Greece, Africa, and Europe. Other spells
are based on spells found in ancient sacred texts, and many are from the
grimoires of the author herself, shared for the first time in the Voodoo
Doll Spellbook. A logical follow up to the author’s previous work,
Voodoo Dolls in Magick and Ritual, the Voodoo Doll Spellbook picks up
where the former leaves off, providing you with information never before
revealed for improving any area of your life using one of the oldest
tools of humankind - the Voodoo doll.
