I wrote this post about the Red Sox, Yankees, Curses and Voodoo a few days ago. There was this little bit in it:
According to this site, voodoo dolls are usually used for positive things:
Add pins. Voodoo practitioners use dolls primarily for boring positive things like healing people or sparking romance.
And this:
There are seven pins, each one with a different symbol:
- yellow – success
- white – positive
- red – power
- purple – spirituality
- green – money
- blue – love
- black – repelling negative energy
Okay, so I got to thinking: Why aren’t we making voodoo dolls of ourselves and bringing good things into our lives – sort of the acupuncture of wealth, success and lots of benefits. Heck, if it is that easy, I’ll go out looking for the Spanish moss for the authentic New Orleans version . . . I must be missing something here.
