The Role of Black Cats in Voodoo Witchcraft

By admin

Black cats and voodoo dolls have long been associated with superstitions, myths, and supernatural beliefs. Throughout history, these two elements have been intertwined and have played prominent roles in various cultures and practices. Black cats have been considered both a symbol of good luck and bad luck, depending on the cultural context. In many Western societies, for instance, it is believed that if a black cat crosses your path, it brings bad luck. This superstition has its origins in medieval Europe when black cats were thought to be the familiars of witches and were associated with witchcraft and demonic powers. However, in other cultures such as ancient Egypt, black cats were regarded as sacred creatures and were believed to bring good fortune and protection.



Black cats and voodoo dolls

She's into superstitions
Black cats and voodoo dolls
I feel a premonition
That girl's gonna make me fall

She's into new sensations
New kicks in the candlelight
She's got a new addiction
For every day and night

She'll make you take your clothes off
and go dancing in the rain
She'll make you live her crazy life
But she'll take away your pain
Like a bullet to your brain (come on!)

Upside, inside out
She's livin' la vida loca
She'll push and pull you down
Livin' la vida loca
Her lips are devil red
And her skin's the color of mocha
She will wear you out
Livin' la vida loca (come on!)
livin' la vida loca (come on!)
She's livin la vida loca

Woke up in New York City
In a funky cheap hotel
She took my heart and she took my money
She must've slipped me a sleepin' pill

She never drinks the water
Makes you order French champagne
Once you've had a taste of her
You'll never be the same
Yeah, she'll make you go insane (alright!)

Upside, inside out
She's livin' la vida loca
She'll push and pull you down
Livin' la vida loca
Her lips are devil red
And her skin's the color of mocha
She will wear you out
Livin' la vida loca (come on!)
Livin' la vida loca
She's livin la vida loca

She'll make you take your clothes off
and go dancing in the rain
She'll make you live her crazy life
But she'll take away your pain
Like a bullet to your brain (come on!)

Upside, inside out
She's livin' la vida loca
She'll push and pull you down
Livin' la vida loca
Her lips are devil red
And her skin's the color of mocha
She will wear you out
Livin' la vida loca (come on!)

Upside, inside out
She's livin' la vida loca
She'll push and pull you down
Livin' la vida loca
Her lips are devil red
And her skin's the color of mocha
She will wear you out
Livin' la vida loca (come on!)
Livin' la vida loca (come on!)
She's livin' la vida loca

Come on!
Gotta, la vida loca
Gotta, gotta, gotta La vida loca
Gotta, gotta, gotta la vi- Writer/s: Desmond Child, Robert Edward Rosa

Для Взрослых

Discovering a quirk is meant to be a joyous occasion, but for Shizumi Nakamura it's more like a nightmare come to life. She never meant to hurt her friends, but anytime pain was imminent her quick activated causing those closest to her injury.

When Shadow disappears, Shizumi is determined to find her and make sure her friend is safe. Hitoshi Shinso knows his cat Suzume roams his neighborhood daily and he doesn't usually think much of it. She comes back home at the end of every night and curls up on the pillow beside his head. When a group of neighborhood children injure her though, all bets are off much to Suzume's howling displeasure. It isn't until he's taking her to the vet that a stranger shows up and the reason behind his cat's restlessness is discovered. Two teens the world deems as future villains brought together by a symbol of bad luck. How could anything go wrong?

However, in other cultures such as ancient Egypt, black cats were regarded as sacred creatures and were believed to bring good fortune and protection. Voodoo dolls, on the other hand, are often associated with the practice of witchcraft and sorcery. They are small handmade dolls that are used as a representation of a person and are believed to have a connection with that person's spirit or soul.

She’s into superstitions, black cats and voodoo dolls (but sadly doesn’t bang…)

I have a confession to make that although I may regard myself as a somewhat rational person, I have a few kinks.

Case in point, years ago I’d have to park my car near work, but some mornings it was a tedious act of circling around looking for someone to drive off and put me out of my misery.

There was, however, one sure way that a parking spot was right around the corner:

A black cat (but I wasn’t all too bothered with the exact colour) would cross the road right in front of me.

As far-fetched as it may sound, each time one would appear within my line of vision I was guaranteed to find a spot on the next round.

For the record I firmly do believe that there’s more than mere superstition at play here:

Fortune-telling traffic-regulating felines?

Cat’s getting ready to take over the world one parking spot at a time?

I’m either becoming a superstitious fool or slowly transforming into the village witch- just call me Baba Jaga 😉

I also grab a button when I see a chimney sweep, but seeing I don’t actually live next door to Mary Poppins, that’s perhaps a moot point.

Of course, there are people who are superstitious about a number of things.

My mum won’t change the sheets on a Friday nor will she willingly make an appointment to see a doctor (irony of ironies, her weekly chemo is schedule for that day…).

She will sit down, at least for a few seconds, when she’s had to come back home after forgetting something.

Some superstitions are just common sense:

Don’t walk under a ladder (or the bucket will drop on your head)

Don’t open an umbrella indoors (or you’ll take someone’s eye out)

Don’t crack a mirror or when applied, your eyeliner will end up all dodgy

The there are superstitions that differ in countries and regions:

In English they say that bad luck comes in threes, in Poland they are actually paired.

We knock on wood but in Poland it’s important that the wood is unpainted/bear.

In English you cross your fingers, in Poland we “hold our thumbs” for good luck.

As a child raised in 2 cultures I have actually perfected the art of simultaneous finger-crossing/thumb-holding to double my chances and I bet at least a few of you are trying it out this very moment 😉

Yup, Poland may be a bit of an odd country because we regard being pooped on by birds and stepping in dog crap as a sign of good luck and prosperity, so think of that the next time you’re washing sh*t off your new coat or shoes…

The reason that I bring all of this up is that today as me and my pups were driving home a black cat appeared.

Granted, it didn’t cross the road but rather ran alongside us for a few meters, but I’m taking that as a good omen.

What are the superstitions in your country, which ones bring you luck?

Black cats and voodoo dolls

In voodoo and other similar practices, the doll is used to cast spells, manipulate emotions, or inflict harm on the person it represents. It is believed that by sticking pins or performing rituals on the doll, the intended target will experience physical pain, misfortune, or even death. The connection between black cats and voodoo dolls is often seen in pop culture and fictional works. They are frequently depicted together in movies, books, and Halloween decorations, creating a sense of mystery, darkness, and occultism. This combination reinforces the idea of black cats and voodoo dolls being linked to supernatural powers and magic. However, it is important to note that these associations are primarily based on folklore, superstitions, and fictional representations. In reality, black cats are just like any other feline companion, and voodoo dolls have no proven supernatural powers. Despite this, these two elements continue to capture our imagination and intrigue us with their enigmatic qualities..
