Brekele, those are awesome, but they obviously aren'y "Voodoo dolls" since they do not come from Vodoun culture. Though i do find quite an interesting parallel between many of the traditions of Vodoun and the animistic traditions of Jawa.
i suggest that we stop using the term even when we are speaking of these African fetish dolls because none of them were created with the intent that is implied by the Hollywood term "Voodoo doll".
