a bit of history
Voodoo dolls are widespread in Haiti, Cuba, and even the United States. they were brought to these countries by slaves from West Africa. At first, the locals could not understand all these African religious beliefs, but with time it changed. Later ancient African beliefs blended with the religious assumptions of Catholicism, and as a result, a completely unique culture was created, unlike any other.
Usually, a voodoo doll is a magical accessory. many people think that they are only used to create zombies and cast evil spells on people. Of course, there is a grain of truth to these assumptions and voodoo priests appear as very evil sorcerers to the common people. In some parts of Africa, Voodoo is still considered part of the state religion. Although these dolls are sometimes used to establish a relationship with a person, more commonly they are made to cause harm.
