Voodoo and Santeria

Sources say to see a voodoo doll in one's dreams is to see a primitive aspect of one's self.

However if you see a voodoo doll upon waking, I think it simply means you saw a voodoo doll. Not everything has an underlying meaning.

It probably means the neighborhood cat left you a gift.

Freak out without a Carnival. The Jemanja devotees of the so-called Naptha Cult get drunk on Naptha and start praying to Raquel Welch! I kid you not. watch out for I better not say it... welll, its a long way down.

All the bad dreams in it come true

No. Voodoo is practiced only in the Western Hemisphere, though there are some similarities between Voodoo practices and traditional tribal religious practices from all over Africa.

Marc Anthony- or Marcus Antonius was a Roman officer- maybe double Agent at the time of Cleopatra, definitely siding with the Egyptian-Greek Queen. Richard Burton in the movie. -Santeria did not exist in 30 BC., By the way the Roman Marines got a little ( carried away) and destroyed the Library of Alexandria which was a mammoth crime against humanity!- and a target of scant if any military or tactical value.

The image that represents the powerful hand of god in Santeria is Chango the spiritual warrior.

Tokoloshe - The Tokoloshe is an evil-spirited gremlin in Zulu mythology. A shaman may send a Tokoloshe to vex his enemies, causing anything from harmless fright to illness or death. Tokoloshes are described as short hairy humanoid creatures that can render themselves invisible by swallowing a pebble.

Voodoo Doughnut was created in 2003.

First of all a Reality Check. Life does NOT arise from Non-Life. this is a basic principle of Biology. a Voodoo doll is an inanimate object, as are all dolls. the whole mythology- and myth it is , is based on sympathetic magic, say placing pins in the shoulder of the doll will ( transplant) pain in the shoulder of the targeted person. the whole thing is childish and moronic. It is doubly sad how really silly movies such as ( Chucky) which have ZERO basis in reality are so popular with certain audiences. it is not even good and evil, as in detective dramas, but wildly implausible and impossible nonsense taklen very seriously. it is sad this Googoo goofus is so catchy.

Do it the old fashion way ... face the person! I just had this same experience with an old female friend of 30 years. This person caused a lot of pain in the family and that included friends so I faced her in a calm manner and let her know how things were. The trouble stopped! Voodoo is not the answer and anyone who practices voodoo has to learn from a pro for years. Voodoo is to be respected, but I've never experienced it so it's difficult to tell if the spells work or the person receiving the bad spell believes enough in it they cause their own pain. People that are cruel and mean usually hang themselves in their own noose anyway.

Santería is the form of voodoo that originated in Cuba.

===new answer=== yes. I was taught by a voodoo priest at an early age. The previous answer is correct, in that it is a religion that originated in Africa. It is a watered down version of Egyptian religion. The names that are used are the names of fallen angels, and it is a form of angel worship, and/or attempting to use angels to do ones' bidding. It is very dangerous to call those names and even more dangerous to attempt to perform the rituals that are associated with them. Remember cause and effect. What goes around comes around. Attempting to use a spell against someone with a calling can submit you to some terrible happenings in your own life. And that includes the love spells. Demons (fallen angels) are difficult, if at all possible, to control. Do yourself a favor and don't ever attempt any of that. Voodoo is a religion, and Hoodoo Rootwork is a magical tradition, they both originated in Africa.

People who practice the darker side of Santeria are called palero.

Trick Voodoo GoKarts are made by the Trick Olimpic company. They seem to have very good reviews as to their speed and chassis. They come with many options for colors and motor mounts.

Hollywood changed the concept of Voodoo--or, rather inventing their own concept--simply by making a mockery of a legitimate religion from West Africa brought over to the Caribbean by slaves. They de-religionized Voodoo and created a dangerous entity by using, for instance, the walking dead to kill non-believers. Voodoo is still viewed as being a weird belief, because Hollywood makes money off such nonsense. == == I am a Christian and believe the Bible's answers to such questions as you pose.

If you care to know what the Bible teaches about sorcery/dark arts, there are sermons by Ivor Myers on this link: http://www.audioverse.org/search/?query=ivor+myers

They are different topics starting from March 5 2007 upward. Hollywood is also eventually explained in this context in one of these topics.

I am listening to them again, and will send you exactly which date. But all the topics are unbelievably intriguing and deal with the sinister that God asks His followers not to involve themselves with.

If practiced without harm to others yes. This doesn't mean magic, it means you can't physically or emotionally harm another person while practicing your religion. Being offended, doesn't count as being hurt though.

Voodoo is a belief and a faith, it is practiced as often as any other religion might be. People pray and perform ceremonies and rights on certain days to certain loa (gods), in honour ofancestors, and when something is needed or desired.

Density is measured in mass per volume, in SI units the density is commonly expressed in kg/m3.

Voodoo was born when the Europeans colonized Hispaniola and tried to convert the Africans to Christians.
