brunhiddensmusings:positive-memes:Voodoo Dollit sounds like a joke but that’s their original purposethe hatian ‘voodoo doll’ was based off of african healing dolls made of wood. you would do nice things to the doll, place it in nice places, or add brightly colored pegs. you made dolls of you and your friends so you could try and make their lives comfortablethe one we think of was corrupted by the brittish, who had ‘poppets’, which were fabric stuffed dolls you stabbed. I feel like this works as some kind of allegory/metaphor but I’m not sure exactly what for. -- source link
