The Okita voodoo doll functions as a symbolic representation of a person, allowing individuals to channel their intentions or emotions towards that person. By manipulating the doll—such as pinning it, dressing it, or performing rituals—users believe they can influence the target's feelings or circumstances. The effectiveness of the Okita voodoo doll is often attributed to the user's focus and emotional connection, rather than any inherent magical properties. It's important to note that practices and beliefs surrounding voodoo can vary widely across cultures.

There isn't an exact date of their original creation. They have been used for many many years.

If you believe someone has placed a curse or voodoo on you, it's important to remain calm and seek support. Consider consulting a spiritual healer or a professional who specializes in protection rituals. Surround yourself with positive energy through meditation, prayer, or affirmations. Additionally, focus on your well-being and that of your unborn child by maintaining a healthy environment and seeking help from loved ones.

Yes, in Santería, it is possible to have more than one godparent, especially if someone is initiated in a way that connects them to multiple lineages or if they are receiving guidance from different practitioners. Each godparent may impart unique teachings and blessings, enriching the individual's spiritual path. However, it's essential to maintain respectful relationships with all godparents to honor their roles in one's spiritual journey.

Voodoo spice, often a reference to synthetic cannabinoids, can stay in your system for varying lengths of time depending on several factors, including the specific compound used, dosage, frequency of use, and individual metabolism. Generally, synthetic cannabinoids can be detected in urine for up to a week, but some metabolites may linger longer. Blood and saliva tests may show traces for a shorter duration, typically a few days. However, individual differences play a significant role, so the exact duration can vary widely.

In Santería, sacred texts are often oral traditions rather than written scriptures, though some practitioners refer to texts like the "Cuentos de los Santos," which narrate the stories of the Orishas. Sacred sites include altars (orishas’ shrines) and locations such as rivers or mountains believed to be inhabited by spirits. Sacred symbols include the use of beads (elekes), the Yoruba cosmogram (the "Odu"), and specific colors associated with each Orisha, which represent their attributes and powers.
