What picture of dolls in this exhibit do you believe is a "Voodoo doll" meant to gain control over another human being? I do see some ancestor effigies in the mix. Yes, there are objects in the practice that you might refer to as dolls, but i do not think you fully understand what their use and purpose are.

I do David but there is maybe more than you know some people are in some thing for 30 years and can learn from other .


Take my word there are voodoo puppets or dolls on the black side off the voodoo for sure maybe you only know the white side.
