What are origins of zombies in Haiti?
The so called zoombies were made famous by Hollywood with some characteristics that are not the same as the Haiti mythical zombies. Haiti zombies, one of the Vodou legends, are assumed to be people who have been killed, then ressucitated and enslaved by local voodoo priests. Antropological and Biological researchers have found that the process is somehow different in reality. A Vodou priest may manufacture a powder made mainly with the bladder of blowfish and the flowers of the Datura plant among other less known ingredients. He will then place the powder mixed with some fats in a place where the target will step on it barefooted. Once the target steps on it, the powder, through the fats acting as carriers, will enter the blood of the target producing a cataleptic paralysis that will make the subject appear as dead for days. After the burial, the voodoo priest will take the target from the grave and will give an antidote. However, the length of time under the effects of the powder will produce severe amnesia and the loss of some intellectual capacities, allowing the Voudou priest to enslave the person for his own benefit and making the person appear as "absent minded" in his looks and behavior. These zombies are as mortal and alive as anyone else, the undead of Hollywood exist only on screen.

How was man created according to voodoo religion?
Damballah/Danbhalah the Sky Serpent Loa (God) created all the waters of the earth. In the form of a serpent, the movement of his 7,000 coils formed the hills and valleys of the earth and brought forth the stars and the planets in the cosmos. He forged metals from heat and sent forth lightning bolts to form the sacred rocks and stones.
When he shed his skin in the sun, and released all the waters over the land, the sun shone in the water and created the Rainbow.
Danbhalah loved the rainbow's beauty and made her his wife, Aida-Wedo.
Danbhalah the Serpent, and Aida-Wedo the Rainbow taught men and women how to procreate and how to make blood sacrifices so they could become the spirit, and obtain the wisdom of the Serpent.
Voodoo dolls are an early form of what is now widely known as poppet magick among pagans. Despite the claims of movies making them seem evil they are really used for good. Vodouisants use them by making a doll out of special materials then invoking part of the spirit of the person that the doll will represent. When they poke pins in the doll the different colored pins attract various Lwa (spirits) to come to that person and do things such as protect them or make them happy. Voodoo dolls can also influence the persons actions (somewhat) by telling the doll what you want that person to do.
All occult practices and angles have a certain hazardous potence- leave them alone.
