The African Bocio

The classic voodoo doll originates from many different cultures, and they differ from each one. Voodoo dolls are considered something of evil magic; by sticking pins into them and inflicting pain onto people who don't do what we want. The original voodoo dolls where used for good spells, for health and happiness, but voodoo magic has become associated with evil for its close partnership with the dead. I will be basing my idea of the voodoo doll on the original African Voodoo magic. Slaves being carried from Africa would bring their dolls (African Bocio's) with them for good luck and other religious reasons; health and safety. The classic pin idea came later; I will also involve this into my ideas for my makeup design. African Voodoo became a challenging religion as it was considered a slave religion.
