The Role of Voodoo Potion Incense Dolls in African Spiritual Practices

By admin

Voodoo Potion Incense Doll Voodoo potion incense doll is a powerful and mystical tool used in the practice of Voodoo, a Afro-Caribbean religion. The doll is believed to possess spiritual energy and is used as a means to communicate with spirits and deities. The main purpose of the voodoo potion incense doll is to attract positive energies and ward off negative energies. It is commonly used in rituals and spells to bring luck, love, and protection to its owner. The doll itself is typically made from various materials such as straw, cloth, or clay. It is often dressed in specific colors and symbols that represent the desired outcome or intention of the spell or ritual.


I spent several weeks exploring different ways to get balls to float on a stream of air. The goal was to find ways to show Bernoulli's Principle and the Coanda Effect in action. Now, the Floating Balls demonstration is an important piece of my presentations at schools were I engage kids with "The Magic of Science". Let's first explore the demonstrations and then we will look at the science behind the "Magic Floating Balls"!

The Coanda Effect explains that a jet of fluid in our case a jet of air has a tendency to stay attached to a convex surface our ball is a convex object. However, this one is a one man operation and to do the method, you are able to do some interesting animations and levitations that are unique and different from what you may have seen.

It is often dressed in specific colors and symbols that represent the desired outcome or intention of the spell or ritual. In addition to the doll, a voodoo potion incense is used to amplify the power and effectiveness of the ritual. The incense is made from a combination of herbs, resins, and oils that are believed to have spiritual properties.

Magic Floating Balls - Bernoulli's Principle and the Coanda Effect Explained

I spent several weeks exploring different ways to get balls to float on a stream of air. The goal was to find ways to show Bernoulli's Principle and the Coanda Effect in action. Now, the Floating Balls demonstration is an important piece of my presentations at schools were I engage kids with "The Magic of Science". Let's first explore the demonstrations and then we will look at the science behind the "Magic Floating Balls"!

How to Make Magic Floating Balls

  • Balls: Inflatable Beach Ball, Ping Pong Balls, Nerf Balls, and more
  • Blower: Leaf Blower, Hair Dryer, Air compressor
  • Fog (optional): Fog Machine, Fog Juice

Note: Because this is a physics demonstration (see explanations below), you must understand that the force of the air moving upward must overcome the force of gravity pulling the ball downward - this means you will have to find a ball and a blower that are a good match.

Point the stream of air (leaf blower, hair dryer, etc) upward and gently place a ball into the stream of air. The ball should hover (as long as it is the right size and weight for the stream of air you are using). Then tilt the stream of air from side to side to model Bernoulli's Principle and the Coanda Effect.

Explanation of the Magic Floating Balls Demonstration

This demonstration has a lot of simple and complex physics concepts. First we need to understand forces. The stream of air (we will call this our "jet") provides a force on the ball. The direction of the force depends on what direction the jet is facing. If we face the jet upwards, the force "pushes" the ball upward. Gravity is also acting upon the ball and it provides a force that pulls the ball downward (toward the earth). When these two opposing forces are equal, the ball hovers in the jet of air. But, why doesn't the ball just fall off to the side of the jet and then fall to the earth? Let's start with Bernoulli's Principle.

Modeling Bernoulli's Principle and the Coanda Effect - Beals Science

What is Bernoulli's Principle?

Bernoulli's Principle states that an increase in the speed of a fluid (in this case a jet of air) causes a decrease in the pressure of the air. And because air flows from areas of high pressure toward areas of low pressure, you end up with some interesting pressure dynamics around the ball.

Let's think about our spherical ball. As the air hits the ball, aerodynamics cause the air to move around the outside of the ball. As it does, the space where the air is moving right next to the ball is constricted (there is less space for it to move) This constriction on all sides forces the air to move at a different speed (it speeds up slightly) than the air around the ball that is not directly touching the ball. This increase of speed causes an area of low pressure all around the outside of the ball. This even pressure around the outside of the ball holds the ball in place - it 'holds' it in the jet of air. But, Bernoulli's Principle does not explain the whole story. In order to fully understand what is happening, we must understand the Coanda Effect. (More info)

What is the Coanda Effect?

The Coanda Effect explains that a jet of fluid (in our case a jet of air) has a tendency to stay attached to a convex surface (our ball is a convex object). This physics principle helps us understand why the ball stays in the jet of air. If you watch the video carefully you will see that the balls wobble in the jet. This is caused by a lot of external factors (wind, movement of the blower, momentum, etc). As the ball starts to move out of the jet, the Coanda Effect explains that the jet of air on all sides 'adheres' to the ball, thus pulling it back into the center of the jet.

The Coanda Effect is best modeled when the jet is held at an angle and the ball stays in the jet. The fast moving air "sticks" to the ball and holds it in place in the lower pressure zone of air! (More info)

Reviews for "Empowering Your Voodoo Potion Incense Dolls with Intention and Visualization"

1. Sarah - 2/5 stars - I was really disappointed with the Voodoo potion incense doll. The concept seemed intriguing, but the product itself fell short. The incense didn't produce much scent, and the doll was poorly made with cheap materials. It also didn't come with any instructions or guidance on how to use it. Overall, it felt like a complete waste of money.
2. Ryan - 1/5 stars - I regret purchasing the Voodoo potion incense doll. Not only was the quality extremely poor, but it didn't do anything it claimed to. The incense barely had any scent and the doll seemed like a cheap knockoff. I tried using it for a few weeks, but didn't notice any positive effects. Save your money and look for a better alternative.
3. Emma - 2/5 stars - The Voodoo potion incense doll was a letdown. The packaging promised a mystical experience, but all I got was a puny incense stick and a flimsy doll. The scent was barely noticeable and the doll didn't have any real impact on my mood or energy levels. I wouldn't recommend this product if you're looking for a genuine voodoo experience.
4. Michael - 1/5 stars - I had high hopes for the Voodoo potion incense doll, but it turned out to be a complete waste of money. The incense had a weird chemical smell that was unpleasant to burn, and the doll felt like it would fall apart any minute. I didn't notice any positive effects or changes in my life after using it for several weeks. Don't fall for the gimmicky packaging - this product doesn't deliver.
