Best Answer

The word voodoo refers to a specific type of magic that originated in Africa, as practiced by African shamans (sometimes known as witch doctors). Voodoo is best known for the use of the voodoo doll, which is supposed to be magically connected to a person, so that by harming the doll, you can harm the person. By threat of voodoo dolls, a shaman can keep a superstitious population in a state of fear.
