Popular Myths Associated With Scary Voodoo Dolls

By Daphne Bowen


Myths and legends have all been a part of many culture. Too much information has been added throughout those years that facts already started to get mix with myths, making it quite difficult to strike a common definition that will be agreeable to many people. This is why you hear many variations of a specific myth.

If you read materials from various sources, you will bump into a huge list of legends dating as far as the history of men can recall. Among those topics that have been a subject of many interpretations are the scary voodoo dolls. They are characterized by horrific faces, though modern ones depict more pleasing features. Dolls may be toys for little girls. But its a different story when a touch of horror and witchcraft is involved.

They are famous accessories in some current horror films and are highly commended for their wide variation. Some see them as a bad omen while others find some good things hidden on these grotesque items. If you are interested about them, then the following common myths might help you have a fast idea on how other people see them.

They can create curses to people. Witches are fictional characters. But in some ways, they have factual basis. In the past, people who resort to animal and even human sacrifices to call on their gods are considered as witches and wizards. They are treated as outcasts from the society because of their terrible practices. Voodoo dolls are said to be their creation. Using it, they can send out curses to people in the form of plague and diseases.

Facilitate healing. If there is a bad thing about it, then there is also this positive side that some believers consider. People in the past believe that the combination of the doll as well as the right chants can encourage healing. While there are testimonials associated with this practice, there wasnt any acceptable proof that proves it credibility, more so its veracity.

Soul transfer. The idea of reincarnation is nothing new. Even few current religion believe that people never die but are reborn to another body, may it be to another human being or an animal. There are entities however, who think that its possible to channel the soul so that its guided into residing inside a doll.

Theyre used for killing people. Now before you walk out, lets once again clarify that this is just a myth. A doll cant kill you. But for entities who believe in supernatural stuff, these items can serve as your representation. For a clearer picture it goes like, when they stab the doll, they stab you.

Living entities of night. Lastly, there is this belief about the individuality of dolls. Its been said that they have lives of their own and only awakens during the night. They cannot do any harm during day time as this is considered as their dormant period. But once evening strikes, they can start hunting the residents of any place.

Myths are creations of our mind. Meaning, they may not entirely real. Get things straight and make sure you dont end up scaring yourself with just a thought. At the end of the day, a doll can still be a gorgeous accessory in your place. Granted of course, that it doesnt have that voodoo look.
