The voodoo doll is used to represent the spirit of a specific person. You can address the voodoo doll as if you are talking to that person, requesting a change in attitude, influencing the person to act in accordance with your wishes, your desires.

No one doll is better than another - paper, wax, cloth or any other kind can be used with equal success.  Remember that the doll is the symbol used during a doll ritual connected with revenge, harm, hate and others of love, success, luck and health spells, as well as protection or dispelling evil rites.

Remember that you, the magickian, should increase the image's talismatic value by adding to it a token from the person it represents - a photograph, a hair or a pice of clothing, etc.
