Present Voodoo

In the latest knowledge of people voodoo dolls are the major symbol of the religion. The followers poke pins into dolls and invite spirits in the doll so that the doll can do a particular task. Voodoo originally was not related with satanic worships, cannibalism or black magic. It was more over a traditional belief that did no harm to anyone. Whereas now a day’s Voodoo is portrayed as evil worship. 

It is said that in the past the white’s had gone to settle in Haiti and the locals got aggressive and drove them away due to some personal grudges. Hence Voodoo is now a symbol of torture and hatred.
