Wachover voodoo dolls are a popular form of folk magic and sorcery. These dolls are often associated with practices of sympathetic magic, where the doll is believed to represent a person and any actions performed on the doll are believed to affect that person in some way. The concept of voodoo dolls originated in Haitian voodoo, a syncretic religion that combines elements of African religions and Catholicism. The dolls are frequently used in rituals and spells to bring about various outcomes, such as love, healing, or protection. The construction of a Wachover voodoo doll can vary, but it typically involves crafting a small doll out of fabric or other materials and adorning it with items that are believed to connect it to the intended person, such as hair, nail clippings, or personal belongings. Some traditions also involve placing pins or other objects onto the doll to inflict harm or discomfort.

Many pet stores will happily give you any leftover snake sheds they have if you call and ask politely, and if you develop a good enough relationship, you can sometimes wrangle dead snakes and or bones out of them, too. Owen Davies chronicles the frequent use of virgin parchment a type of scroll medium made from a highly treated animal skin, usually from a creature like a lamb or goat in the construction of ancient Near Eastern and Mediterranean grimoires in his book appropriately entitled Grimoires.
Some traditions also involve placing pins or other objects onto the doll to inflict harm or discomfort. Wachover voodoo dolls are often used for positive purposes, such as healing or bringing luck. For example, a person seeking healing from a specific ailment may create a doll that represents themselves and perform rituals or spells to promote their own well-being.

Weirdest thing I've used in witchcraft would be my own wisdom tooth, I made a "wisdom" charm and set the tooth in beeswax after so it wouldn't be too odd. I have a couple more that I'm waiting to use, any ideas? 🤔🤗
Teeth are so handy for magic. Think of everything they connect to and represent. First off, it’s a really powerful taglock, so using it to tie your energy to a working is an amazing tool. Even in a witch bottle (a bottle of protection that pretty much acts as “you” and a decoy to draw any negative energy/hexes/spellwork etc to it instead of you.) would be a great use of an extra tooth.
Teeth also connect to the old and ancestors (especially wisdom teeth) as they are bones of their blood, you! So using them as a tether for familial spirits is a good idea too.
The ask I answered before this made a protection charm out of their baby teeth so you’re on a really cool path!
Teeth also connect to hunger (literal or figurative and could be used for blessing or baneful magic), happiness (teeth show when you’re smiling and laughing), anger (gnashing teeth) and power in general. You could use them to “grind their bones to make your bread” as a binding ala fee fi fo fum.
Bind or sow discord. “Shut your mouth” or“Loose lips sink ships”!
Last idea that comes to mind would be in divination. You could make lots to cast and interpret and a tooth can represent so many things, it’s an awesome addition to any form of thrown divination.
If you ever want to send some teeth my way, I would gladly accept lol

Reviews for "The Connection between Wachover Voodoo Dolls and Spirit Possession"
1. John - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with the Wachover voodoo dolls. The quality was subpar and they looked nothing like the pictures online. The stitching was poorly done and some of the dolls even had missing pieces. I ended up having to return mine because it was unusable. Save your money and go for a different brand if you're looking for voodoo dolls.
2. Sarah - 1 star - As a collector of voodoo dolls, I was really excited to try out the Wachover voodoo dolls. However, it was a complete letdown. The dolls were flimsy and felt like they were about to fall apart in my hands. The colors were also faded, making them look cheap and poorly made. Overall, I was extremely unsatisfied with this purchase and would not recommend it to others.
3. Emily - 2 stars - The Wachover voodoo dolls were a disappointment. The supposed "powerful spells" that were supposed to come with them didn't seem to have any effect whatsoever. I followed all the instructions and even tried multiple dolls, but nothing happened. It felt like I wasted my money on something that had no real power or impact. I would advise anyone looking for authentic voodoo dolls to steer clear of this brand.
