What is your desire? Ancient spells for luck, love, or fortune? Placing a curse on your enemy? Bringing back a lost love? Hexing your foe? Oh, the possibilities!

The most popular sterotype of using a Voodoo doll involves sticking pins into it. But did you know that there are different emotions and feelings attatched to the color of pins that can be used? Here's how to use the seven pins with a Voodoo doll. This tutorial is consistent with New Orleans Voodoo.

Step 1  

Take each pin and concentrate on the color symbolism. Each color has a different meaning:  

    • Red | Power
    • Yellow | Money
    • Green | Tranquility
    • Blue | Love
    • Purple | Spirituality
    • Black | Pain/Relief/Healing/ Repelling negativity
    • White | Positive Energy/ Good Karma
    • Pink = Death

Step 2  

Meditate upon how you want these things to manifest in your life. For example, with your yellow pin, focus on what success you desire.

Step 3  

After you are very clear about this, stick the pin into your doll in the heart or stomach region. This area will support your heart's desire and your gut feelings or intuition. You can also stick your pins into the head for knowledge.

Step 4  

Repeat this process for each pin.

Step 5  

Wait and trust in your personal power that the Universe will help you make your intentions manifest. Patience is your best attribute now.

Tips

  • It is sometimes recommended to burn a candle during this process to strengthen the work. Choose a candle color to match the need. The candle colors are the same as the pin colors in this case.
  • Voodoo dolls are used as focusing tools in ritual and meditation. It is extremely important to exercise caution when using your Voodoo doll. Voodoo dolls can be used for dark purposes; however, there IS karmic backlash associated with using Voodoo dolls with the intent of hurting someone else. That is why all of the reputable practitioners and their associated sites indicate their dolls are blessed to carry only positive energy and light with them. You would be wise to follow suit.

Warnings

  • The powers of Voodoo dolls have not been scientifically proven. These methods may be completely ineffective. (It was never proven or disproven by anyone)
  • Because Voodoo dolls can absorb energies from people who have used them, it is a good idea to never use someone else's Voodoo dolls.
  • If Voodoo dolls are misused, karmic effects such as conflicts, accidents, depression, bad luck, etc. can happen to you!
  • Know the consequences of using a voodoo dolls in your religion!
