Voodoo and Santeria

to protect them from evil eyes and bad omen. wearing on right wrists and left leg together is more good.

from a beach you like

Hun, you don't need to engage in witchcraft to find friends.

Just go out and meet real people; start up a conversation and engage in common interests.

You'll find nice people out there to become friends with.

no

Not voodoo to my knowledge- it certainly does not have ( Congregations on Rites) overseeing worship practices. But a variety of Tribal religions and customs involve animal teeth as talismans of courageous actions, as in hunting. they are associated with American Indians, mostly. Elk Teeth, Buck Teeth ( animal not human) and so on. There are conservationist arguments against this sort of thing- Tusk Tusk- a Tusk is essentially an elongated tooth. Do not confuse with the Whaling art of Scrimshaw, engraving and etching on Whale"s teeth.

This Roman Catholic devotional image has been appropriated by practitioners of Santeria, through a process called syncretism, to represent a pagan deity.

First of all it is Santeria. This roughly translates as the Way of the Saints. Statues of Saints are used as objects of divination, often they are given different names than what would be used in say, sunday school . Some Santeria groups have apparently divinized the famed actor Charlie Chaplin. I have seen statues of Mr Chaplin in a black suit with bow tie and mustache, obviously Charlie Chaplin, in Botanicas often alongside statues of say, Joan of Arc or St. Theresa. Okay Chaplain ( not spelling) is an ecclesiastical title, but...)

for a while yes.but he left santeria.

Do you mean Spirit Bottle Trees?

Some practitioners of Voudo/Voodoo will make bottle trees. The bottles stuck on the branches of the tree, or suspended from the branches by twine is used to attract and trap malicious spirits.

The spirits become fascinated by the bottles, their colours, and get sucked inside. Once inside they cannot find their way out, and when the sun hits in the morning the malicious spirit is obliterated.

"Voodoo" or Voudoun magic is a mixture of Catholicism and African tribal Paganism brought to the Western hemisphere by African slaves. It is primarily practiced in Central America and the southern United States by solitary practitioners and small groups.

You click it and it spawns 3 zombie alies. Be careful because their lifetime is short. Use in battle.

Red line means danger-stop velocity never exceed- the upper limit- on a speedometer, pressure gauge, R.P.M. etc. also communist party line!

It could mean that someone have (accidently or intentionally) put chicked bones on your car window. Probably you have parked the car near a fried chicken outlet.

Also there is a possibility that a chicken was died or killed on your car window and only now you have noticed.

Anyway, don't tuch those bones if you think it would be a bad thing, just put them away with a stick and wash.

No, I think it is more of a sign of the poor unfortunate bird being in the way of your car.

Voodoo is a faith, or a belief. It does not mean 'God'. God in the Vodou faith is known as Bondye.

Voodoo

You do not need a scroll to obtain Voodoo Dolls.

Most people make their own voodoo dolls, or they can be purchased.

That question is almost true. Brazil has Christianity because when God said tell everyone of the news of Me, then people spread around the world to tell the good news. Most times a country would believe in God but then get almost taken over by another country that wants them to believe in there religion. Brazil has not had that yet so they will continue to believe in Jesus Christ.

Yes

No, but as with any Tribal society- or societies, there are plenty of odd cultural practices which might be confused with Voodoo. For example Katchina, also spelled Kachina.. Kachina ( pronounced roughly Catch-china!) means approximately human spirit body or soul-mate. they took the form of more-or-less anthropomorphic dolls and were a sort of mixture of charm-companion and boogeyman. they somewhat resembled the images on totem poles and are infrequently called ( Totem pole dolls) which is incorrect. there were zoomorphic decorations and designs on the helmets or hats ( well, we have the American Eagle on Garrison hats, right/) These dolls, called katchinas, were most popular in the Southwest and some were sold in souvenir shops off the Santa Fe railroad line. For some reason (maybe the fact that founder of the 99"s, Amelia Earhart , was the daughter of a Santa Fe executive, the idea took-off ( no pun intended) with the women fliers and they had a Katchina Doll 200 mile air race, and so on. Katchina dolls were prizes used. Katchina is not voodoo but the doll angle, well, perhaps a kindred spirit, but not really, Back in the sixties when Indian lore was a popular subject in magazine articles, stuff on the Katchina flourished- by the way it is NOT as tribe.. different tribes used them, mostly in the ATSF line area- a lot of ground!

Voodoo is a polytheistic religion, which practices African witchcraft. It originated in Benin.

Crickets symbolize good luck.

I wouldn't consider Robert to be a voodoo doll, but he is a haunted doll. And yes, he is real.

In some regions it does. The Santeria community in New York has a very high percentage of gays and lesbians and is very gay-friendly. Santeros and santeras marry their same-sex partners without opposition. However, same-sex marriage is not permitted in the Caribbean where Santeria originates, nor in the Yoruba religion from which it derives. Yoruba culture in Africa strongly condemns homosexuality.
