Voodoo is often misunderstood by people and seen as evil magic with the help of media reports that define it as a ritual of murder. This practice can be used to yield both healing and harmful results in people thus having elements of both destruction and construction. It should be done with absolute caution bearing in mind that anything that you think or do will come back to you. Scary voodoo dolls are used by people to come up with beautiful and bad things.
This art can be traced back to the 16th century in during the slave trade when Africans found settled in Haiti which was under Islam and Hindu beliefs.

It is used as a cure for a variety of illnesses in the countries of Gabon and Ghana.
If you want to make your own doll, there are guidelines online that will help you. The head is the first part to be made with the use of a foam ball and a piece of yarn. Wrap completely until the foam is completely out of sight keeping in mind the desired size. To prevent the ends from running, secure them by weaving through the middle of the ball or by a drop of glue.
The second step is looping a section of yarn to a body of length several times. It is normally repeated once where one looped bit will be the left arm and leg while the other looped bit will be the right arm and leg. For a doll to look good, the head should be quite big compared to the body.
The two pieces are then joined by wrapping them together top to bottom using a string. The wrapping is done starting from the bottom working your way to the top in a coiling formula. Again, the ends should be well secured and the wrapping should be tight. Loop several bits of string around the head then place the wrapped pieces like limbs.
The under armpit is wrapped downwards to the torso starting from the top to the bottom then up again. This step is to be repeated if a chubbier doll is wanted. The final step involves sewing or gluing eyes on the doll for a complete look. Most people use buttons which make the best eyes while others use a number of beads.
Individuals use voodoo for a variety of reasons such luck, bringing misery to foes, love and many others.

You then wait and trusts upon your own power that the universe will play its role of helping you get what you want.
