A series of voodoo dolls for fear has gained popularity in recent years as individuals seek unconventional methods to confront their fears and anxieties. Voodoo dolls, typically associated with practices of Haitian voodoo, have been utilized for centuries to manipulate and influence individuals or evoke positive or negative outcomes. However, this modern take on voodoo dolls has shifted the focus towards targeting fears rather than seeking control over others. The use of voodoo dolls for fear is rooted in the belief that by creating a physical representation of one's fear, they can confront and ultimately overcome it. Each doll is customized to resemble the fear of the individual, whether it be a phobia of spiders, heights, or public speaking. The creation process often involves personalization through adding specific features or elements that personify the fear.

I was completely frozen in my dream and unable to move because I was so caught off guard I fear loud and obscure noises as well as I was frozen in fear trying to thrown whatever was in my hands down and run out of the front door I hear footsteps coming up the stairs. I m now 16 and I know this all sounds irrational but I still have the fear that if I am left alone with a doll or stuffed animal or if it s dark and I m around one or even if it s just in my house, that it will come and kill me.

This intimate connection to one's fear is thought to intensify the psychological impact of the subsequent actions taken with the doll. Upon completion, individuals are encouraged to perform rituals and spells on the dolls.
Fear of Dolls Phobia – Pediophobia
Pediophobia is the unwarranted, irrational and persistent fear or worry of dolls. It is a specific phobia belonging to the category of ‘automatonphobia’. This is a type of phobia where the individual is afraid of all humanoid or “human-like-but-not-quite” objects including mannequins, marionettes, ventriloquist’s dummies, wax figures, animatrix or robotic figures etc. The word Pediophobia originates from ‘Paidion’ which means ‘little child’ in Greek and ‘Phobos’ meaning fear or deep dread. Many adult sufferers of Pediophobia are also known to fear little children.
Some Pediophobes are afraid of all kinds of dolls while others are known to be afraid of only specific kinds like the talking/walking dolls, Chinese porcelain dolls, stuffed dolls etc.
Dolls are, in reality, child’s playthings. Little girls are especially known to love dolls and pretend play with them which can help in fostering imagination and creativity. Naturally, it is a matter of great worry for parents when their little daughter starts screaming at the sight of dolls. While most childhood cases of Pediophobia disappear once the child has grown, in some cases though, this fear can persist even in adulthood.
These rituals typically involve symbolic actions that represent overcoming the fear. For example, if the fear is public speaking, one may stab the doll with pins while reciting affirmations of confidence and power. The intention is to transfer one's fear or negative energy onto the doll, symbolically divorcing oneself from the fear and establishing a sense of control. While the scientific validity of using voodoo dolls for fear remains largely unexplored, proponents argue that the process allows individuals to confront their fears in a tangible and empowering manner. The act of physically engaging with the fear, rather than merely conceptualizing it, may facilitate a deeper understanding and help alleviate anxiety. Furthermore, the ritualistic aspect may enhance the psychological impact, providing a sense of closure and empowerment. Critics, on the other hand, question the ethics and effectiveness of using voodoo dolls for fear. They argue that such practices may perpetuate superstitions and reinforce harmful stereotypes associated with voodoo. Moreover, they assert that confronting fears should be done through evidence-based therapies and techniques rather than resorting to symbolic tools. In conclusion, the series of voodoo dolls for fear represents a novel approach to conquering one's fears. By personifying and engaging with their fear through a ritualistic process, individuals hope to gain a sense of control and ultimately overcome their anxieties. While the practice remains controversial, its growing popularity suggests a desire for alternative methods of fear management in today's society..
