By Daphne Bowen


Myths and legends have all been a part of many culture. Too much information has been added throughout those years that facts already started to get mix with myths, making it quite difficult to strike a common definition that will be agreeable to many people. This is why you hear many variations of a specific myth.

Nations around the world have their own set of things that they want to believe in. They also have their own stories to tell. Among the things that have been a subject for varied interpretations are the scary voodoo dolls. Their common association to the darker side of things only added to its allure and mystery.

They are famous accessories in some current horror films and are highly commended for their wide variation. Some see them as a bad omen while others find some good things hidden on these grotesque items. If you are interested about them, then the following common myths might help you have a fast idea on how other people see them.

They make curses possible. Its easy to dismiss curses. But if you talk with those who strongly believe on the this thing, it can be seen as something that is terrible in nature. In the past, persons who are termed as witches are believed to possess voodoo dolls to cast some curse on a certain person or community.

They may heal common illness. At the opposite side of the argument come those individuals who believe that these dolls are tangible gifts from the heavens. They think its a sort of holy item that can help cure diseases if you only believe and ask. Believers on this side portray an angelic image of this voodoo item rather than a gruesome one.

Soul transfer. The idea of reincarnation is nothing new. Even few current religion believe that people never die but are reborn to another body, may it be to another human being or an animal. There are entities however, who think that its possible to channel the soul so that its guided into residing inside a doll.

Accessory for murder. The scariest thing of all the things we have on this list is the thought that this can be used to murder someone or a group. As outrageous as the idea could be, it has been portrayed in films and all other modern media. Its participation in the killing is said to be indirect, with a doll set to represent a living person. What you do to the object, happen to that individual.

Independent, supernatural life. Its creepy to think about dolls being used for witchcraft and all. But its even creepier if they are thought to have a life of their own, something which you are not in direct control of. According to some legends, they are entities who are capable of staying alive at night.

No matter how believable these stories may seem, its important to remember that they are all myths. Which means, there aren't any solid proof supporting those stories behind them. It can be entertaining to hear how different cultures portray this item. Just make sure you zap yourself back to reality when you find yourself believing it.
