All-purpose Voodoo dolls perfect for any ritual or magickal endeavor!
Description: The Voodoo doll in Louisiana evolved during a time of great oppression and suffering. Its use as a defense mechanism by slaves permitted the symbolic unleashing of hate, humiliation, and suffering upon cruel slave masters without having to personally confront the slave master, which would have been extremely dangerous. Later, it was used as a principle tool in Marie Voodoo Dolls Laveau’s standardization of the rituals and paraphernalia of Creole Voodoo. At the time, Voodoo dolls were widely feared because of the absolute power and control a person could achieve over another. This was possible in large part through a sort of psychological, as well as spiritual, warfare.
In New Orleans, Voodoo moss dolls can be found all over the French Quarter in a variety of styles, sold as magickal curios infused with the power to heal or hex. These dolls are popular due to their affordability and flexibility. They come in all colors and sometimes carry a gris gris bag (a portable spell) of their own. A person can purchase one of these dolls and use it for whatever purpose is needed.
In New Orleans, you can often find dolls that come with seven pins. The purpose for sticking the pins in the doll corresponds to the color and purpose of the pin. Sticking pins in a Voodoo doll is not meant to cause pain and anguish in another human being; rather, it serves to focus and activate your intention, or for pinning a photograph, personal effect, or name tag to the doll.

In separating verifiable fact from semi-truths and complete fabrication, Carolyn Morrow Long explores the unique social, political, and legal setting in which the lives of Laveau’s African and European ancestors became intertwined in nineteenth-century New Orleans.
Product review: Even Anne Rice recommends it and what better recommendation about voodoo history in New Orleans can you get than Anne Rice!?! Yes, the story is old, but it's a fantastic look of the smaller details of a hidden culture. I love New Orleans, and Tallant's book is well researched. Why do you think it's been reprinted since the 1940s? That's staying power, people. Buy it. It's a great read. [From a person who knows and loves New Orleans and hoodoo too!]
