So far we've explored the Black Magic world in terms of what it consists of and some of the people who practice it. To think such a mysterious and dark world can enter fashion and become a trend is a little strange....but once again its real.
Images of human skulls and bones being implicated into fashion and clothing we witness all around us. Whether its jewellery or any other form of art, signs and symbols of Black Magic are commonly used.
Something else I have noticed recently is the commercialisation of Voodoo dolls which i realised after watching an episode of dragons den!!Voodoo dolls can be found exclusively on a number of store shelves. The term voodoo actually means the 'spirit of God' and each doll represents the spirit of a person...it is believed that believers of the powerful voodoo pratice can gain huge rewards. And by using a voodoo doll you are able to influence and change specific characteristics of a person so if you wanted someone to change their mind or do what you want them to then you create or purchase a Voodoo doll and bind the doll within a magical spell.
Voodoo dolls explained. I mean don’t get me wrong the idea of people wanting to use voodoo dolls and such items to become friends doesn’t seem to be too problematic, but what about those people who take the whole idea of Voodoo a step too far? And simply use these magic items to afflict pain and hatred? Creating a place for voodoo dolls is creating an environment within which it is acceptable to use such methods, rather than say hello and become friends with someone people opt for these options....
.....I came across an extremely disturbing video what appears to be a boy of 10 years age, demonstrating how to make a voodoo doll out of a few household items. Check it out and Notice how he starts the video by saying I'm sure you all have enemies.....creepy.....
Heres a video showing some of the different versions of Voodoo dolls on sale out there...
That is so true, i myself am guilty of falling into the trap of the commercialsation of black magic symbols. I love the diamond skull and have always seen the voodoo dolls as cool not realising their deeper meaning. creepy
ReplyDeleteyeh, it is amazing how skulls, bones and voodoo dolls are seen all around us and even i was the same, didnt see anything wrong it and think much of it. Just goes to show the fashion industry will use pretty much any object to make their clothing and accessories popular... and consumers remain oblivious to the deeper hidden meaning and message of the symbols and pictures being used
