The concept of voodoo dolls has been present in various cultures and traditions throughout history. These dolls, often associated with the practice of voodoo, are believed to have mystical powers, allowing individuals to influence others through the manipulation of the doll. One particular type of voodoo doll known as the "witch voodoo doll" is said to possess the ability to inflict harm or even death upon the intended target. The witch voodoo doll is widely regarded as a tool for revenge or mischief. It is commonly depicted as a small fabric doll, resembling a human figure, often made from materials such as cloth, string, and herbs. The doll is believed to be infused with magical powers, typically obtained through rituals performed by practitioners of voodoo or witchcraft.
The doll is believed to be infused with magical powers, typically obtained through rituals performed by practitioners of voodoo or witchcraft. To use a witch voodoo doll, the user typically needs to acquire a personal item from the target, such as a strand of hair or a piece of clothing. This item is then attached to the doll, representing a connection between the doll and the target.

The Sump Swamp of Stranglevine Creek is a dank and dangerous place. Grapple Weed, Barbed Venomgorse and Shardwrack Spines thrive in the swamp's fetid environment, deterring all but the most fool hardy or desperate. Even the most experienced of locals occasionally fall prey to the sump-snakes, sludge-jellies and the myriad other fauna of Stranglevine Creek. Those who venture deeper into the sump swamp face the greatest risk of all, the Voodoo Dolls of House Escher.
Despite this, one man moves freely throughout the region, impervious to the dangers that Stranglevine Creek holds. Danh Bokor.
Greetings Hivers!
My hobby time has been firmly focused on gaming just lately with painting taking a back seat. My Escher gang is pretty much complete now except for one glaring exception. a Rogue Doc. I'd been procrastinating about what model to use as a Rogue Doc, I wanted something a little more feral for my Voodoo Dolls, something that would have a witch doctor/shaman feel and wouldn't take an age to convert.
As soon as the Warcry models were previewed I knew I'd found my Rogue Doc in the Serpent Caller. Better yet the model would need very little conversion to give me what I wanted. A simple hand swap to give him a Stub Gun.
A Dark Eldar knife with vials to indicate his predilection for potions.
More vials from the Admech Kataphron kit.
. And a dirty great syringe from a Dark Eldar Talos kit was added should his patients need more traditional medicine!
I added some candles to the base from the Cawdor sprue to complete the look.
Nobody knows the origins of Danh Bokor, except perhaps Sumpsnake Sully of the Voodoo Dolls, and she only smiles and shakes her head when asked about him. That still doesn't stop the locals of Stranglevine Creek from speculating though; some claim he was an off-worlder from a Catachan regiment who deserted, others that he is a Ratskin shaman, the last of his tribe.
What is known about him is his ability as a healer. Many locals brave the sump swamps to seek him out at the Danh-hwe (the Serpent House in the old tongue). It is said that the Bokor is a witch for hire, one who serves the Hive Spirits "with both hands", meaning he can practise both dark magic and benevolent magic. His black magic includes the creation of zombies and the creation of 'Ouangas', talismans that house spirits.
Whatever the truth is, the Voodoo Dolls of House Escher hold him in high regard and his services are often sought out by those brave enough to venture into their territory.

The user can then perform rituals, such as sticking pins into specific areas of the doll, to invoke harm upon the target. Several theories exist regarding the effectiveness of witch voodoo dolls. Some argue that the power of suggestion and belief plays a significant role in their perceived effectiveness. Others believe that the dolls actually possess an inherent spiritual power that can bring harm to the individual represented by the doll. Witch voodoo dolls have been the subject of controversy, skepticism, and fear. Many view them as a form of black magic or witchcraft, associating them with curses and evil intentions. Skeptics argue that the effects attributed to the dolls can be explained by psychological factors rather than supernatural powers. Regardless of personal beliefs, the witch voodoo doll remains an intriguing and often misunderstood aspect of voodoo and witchcraft. Whether seen as a symbol of ancient healing traditions or as a tool for revenge, the doll continues to capture the curiosity of many around the world. Its legend and mystique continue to thrive, ensuring its place in the realm of supernatural folklore..
Reviews for "The Influence of Qitch Voodii Dolls in Fashion and Design"
1. Emily - 1/5
I was really disappointed with the Qitch voodii doll. The quality was extremely poor, with loose threads and haphazard stitching. The doll's face was also unsettling and looked nothing like the picture advertised. Additionally, the doll did not come with any instructions or accessories, leaving me unsure of how to properly use it. Overall, I would not recommend purchasing this product.
2. John - 2/5
The Qitch voodii doll was a letdown for me. While the concept seemed interesting, the execution fell short. The doll's construction felt flimsy, and it didn't have any of the promised magical features. The packaging was lackluster and did not provide any information about the doll's supposed abilities. Despite the initial excitement, I found the doll to be quite underwhelming and not worth the price.
3. Sarah - 1/5
I regret buying the Qitch voodii doll. It arrived with a broken limb, and the company's customer service was unresponsive to my complaints. The doll itself looked cheap and poorly made, with subpar materials that easily tore. The lack of any clear instructions or guidelines on how to use the doll was frustrating. Save your money and look for a better quality product elsewhere.
4. Mike - 2/5
I give the Qitch voodii doll a low rating because it failed to live up to its advertised claims. The doll did not possess the ability to grant wishes or bring luck as promised. The tiny clothes that came with the doll were ill-fitting and poorly made. The overall design felt generic and lacked creativity. I was left feeling disappointed and unsatisfied with this purchase.
