How To Make A Real Voodoo Doll (Step by Step Guide)
- Collect Materials for the Making
To create a Voodoo doll that works, you’ve to collect all the materials needed. Materials highly depend on the purpose you’re going to use the doll for. If you’re making it for fun, then you can use anything you want, but most magicians use clay, cloth, corn husks, twigs, and paper to make a Voodoo doll. For stuffing, they either use moss or craft stuffing to give to a realistic look.
Some things represent certain powers while others do not; this is why you’ve to be a bit careful while choosing the material for your Voodoo doll. If you don’t do it right, your magic won’t work, and you’ll be left with a useless doll.
- Take an Item From the Person You Want To Cast a Spell On
This is one of the most critical steps toward making a Voodoo doll. To create a connection between your Voodoo doll and the person you want to cast a spell on, you should grab an item from that person. Whether it’s a few hair pieces or the clothing that another person wears, you should use anything that the other person has touched or is very close to.
People who practice black magic grab an item from the other person and put it inside the Voodoo doll to transfer their energy into the doll and make them do whatever they want.
- Make a Skeleton
Your Voodoo doll has to look as realistic as possible. You want it to look and feel exactly like the person you’re going to cast a spell on, even its basic body structure. To make it right, you’ve to create a T-shaped skeleton by taking two sticks and binding them together with twine. Try to use as many natural materials as you can, but if you don’t have access to wood or branches, you can go for a pencil.
- Stuff the Doll
This process is similar to stuffing an animal; you’ve to wrap the skeleton with feathers, cotton, shredded cloth, or paper. For a more authentic voodoo doll, opt for Spanish moss. The more natural the materials, the better your Voodoo doll will work.
- Choose the Skin
The skin of your Voodoo doll depends on the spell that you’re going to cast. Once you’ve stuffed your beauty, you’ll need some material to cover the Voodoo doll and make the skin. Whether you want to use fabric, corn husk, or similar natural material, the choice is yours.
When it comes to colors, you should be a bit careful because it can change the output of your spell. For example, if you’re going for good luck and money spell, you should go for green material. Yellow is for success, and pinks and reds are for love and romance. But, if you want to cast an evil spell, then avoid all these and go with a piece of the other person’s clothing.
- Make the Feet, Torso, and Head
To make your Voodoo doll as real as possible, you’ve to create its body parts and make them look like the person you’re going to cast a spell on. For example, if the person has green eyes, then use green buttons as eyes. If they have lack hair, then choose black material for hair.
After collecting the material, you’ve to use twine or ribbon to create the torso, head, feet, and arms. You can also draw on your Voodoo doll’s face and make it look as much like the person you’re casting a spell on.
- Finish Sewing The Doll
After decorating, you’ve to keep it all together by sewing your Voodoo doll. But, instead of using a sewing machine, use your hands instead to give it a feel of the human body.
Once your Voodoo doll is complete, you’ve to name it and visualize what you want to happen with the other person. But remember, there’s no turning back after this. Your Voodoo doll may bring you riches or fulfill all your evil purposes, but nothing is free. There is usually a trade, so be careful what you wish for.
