Voodoo is an ancient religion originated from southern part of Africa.
Voodoo dolls were created because the religion required a medium when ritual is performed or spell is cast. The original form of the voodoo doll was made from animal bones and straw. Due to the ugly looking dolls and the mystical ritual performed around the dolls, most people think that the voodoo is an evil religion. As such, the voodoo dolls and its spell also bear an evil characteristic in them.
In actual fact, not all voodoo spells are bad. There are positive sides of the voodoo spells as some are for curing, healing, protection and love, etc. Some of the modern day designers take upon this positive aspect of the voodoo and created some cute and refined voodoo dolls. For ease of identification, they also created with different themes behind each category of the voodoo dolls.
The dolls first became popular in Taiwan, Korea and Japan. It later spreads to other parts of South East Asia and now its reach is even extended to America and Europe. All the voodoo dolls are hand made from one single thread.
