Voodoo dolls
Voodoo dolls (or kolossoi as the Greeks called them) were also quite popular in the Greco-Roman world. C.A. Faraone, in his survey of all known voodoo dolls, set specific criteria – the dolls must meet at least 2 of the following criteria to be included:
(1) the doll’s arms or legs are twisted behind its back as if bound (2) the doll is transfixed with nails (3) the head or feet or upper torso of the doll has been twisted back to front (4) the doll is tightly shut in a container (5) the doll has been inscribed with a victim’s name (6) the doll has been discovered in a grave, sanctuary or in (what was) water
How Voodoo dolls Were Used
Voodoo dolls were not as common as curse tablets, though they still were prevalent. They were commonly made of lead or bronze. Wax dolls were found in Egypt in late antiquity. The dolls were placed in a variety of places, with graves being the most popular. Other places included homes, sanctuaries, and in what used to be bodies of water. Plato mentioned that dolls were displayed at points where three roads met, on doors and on parental graves (Laws 933a). They are often represented as bound and twisted into violent positions. Occasionally, the dolls were mutilated (hands, legs, head, etc chopped off) or if wax, melted.
Voodoo dolls and Curse Tablets
Dolls were often associated with curse tablets in that they were often inscribed with the name of the curse victim. A lead ‘gingerbread man’ from Carystus was apparently crafted so that it could be flattened and used as a curse tablet.

Breaking the Curse
Like the curse tablets, if the dolls were found, the curse could be deactivated. Sophronious (late vi CE) tells of how Theophilus of Alexandria was rendered tetraplegic. His friends had summoned the devil to instill pain in all of his limbs. Saints appeared to Theophilus in dreams and told him to hire a fisherman to go out to sea. The fisherman caught a small box that was locked and sealed with lead in his net. Inside was a bronze effigy of Theophilus with a nail driven though each limb. As each nail was withdrawn, Theophilus was released from his pain and paralysis in the corresponding limb. (Sophronius, Account of the miracles of Saints Cyrus and John)

Press the MagicMount firmly onto the desired location, applying pressure for 30 seconds to ensure a strong bond. Avoid removing or repositioning the MagicMount for at least 24 hours to allow the adhesive to fully set. Once the MagicMount is securely installed, you can attach your device to it. The MagicMount uses a magnetic connection to hold your device in place. To attach your device, simply place the MagicPlate onto the back of your phone or the back of your phone case. Ensure that the MagicPlate is centered on the back of your device for optimal alignment with the MagicMount. There are two types of MagicPlates available: one with adhesive backing and one without. If your device has a smooth surface, you can use the adhesive-backed MagicPlate directly on your device or case. If your device has a textured or silicone surface, it is recommended to place the non-adhesive MagicPlate inside your case, between the device and the case. Once the MagicPlate is attached to your device, the magnetic connection with the MagicMount will securely hold your phone or device. The MagicMount is designed to allow for 360-degree rotation, so you can position your device in the most comfortable and convenient angle. Additionally, the MagicMount's strong magnet ensures that your device stays in place, even on bumpy journeys. To remove your device from the MagicMount, simply pull it away from the magnetic surface. The strong bond will release, allowing you to easily grab your device. In conclusion, the Scosche MagicMount is an easy-to-use and versatile mounting system for mobile devices. By following the steps outlined in this how-to guide, you can properly install and use the MagicMount in your vehicle. The magnetic connection provides a secure hold, while the 360-degree rotation allows for optimal positioning. Upgrade your car with the convenience and accessibility of the Scosche MagicMount..

The guide failed to provide clear step-by-step instructions, leaving me frustrated and disappointed. I would not recommend this guide to anyone looking to install a Scosche magic mount.
2. Emily - 2 stars
I was really excited to use the Scosche magic mount, but the how-to guide quickly dashed my hopes. The instructions were poorly written and lacking the necessary details to ensure a successful installation. The guide assumes a certain level of prior knowledge, which is not helpful for someone like me who is not familiar with this type of product. Additionally, the illustrations were unclear and did not accurately depict the installation process. Overall, I found this guide to be frustrating and unhelpful.
3. Mike - 2 stars
I have to say that the Scosche magic mount how to guide left a lot to be desired. The instructions were vague and difficult to follow. It seemed like the guide assumed the user already had a lot of knowledge about similar products or installations. The lack of clear step-by-step instructions made it challenging for me to properly install the mount. I had to resort to watching online tutorials, which defeated the purpose of having a guide in the first place. I would recommend looking for alternative installation guides or seeking professional help for a smoother experience.
