I don't think so, except for the self-fullfilling prophecy aspect. I think it has been reported that victims of a voodoo curse actually got sick and died, but that is probably because it bothered them so much to believe they had been cursed. (Edit: also, these "reports" are not from a scientific paper, it is just something I heard).\n\nAlso it certainly has an effect on the voodoo practicioner, too - he feels more empowered etc. But I think it is all psychological.\n\nLove the answer about the cold war, sooo funny ;-) Answers like that are the reason for visiting Yahoo! Answers.\n\nPersonally, while being agnostic, I think there is something to the concept of karma for similiar reasons as there is to voodoo. I don't think there are external powers that will punish you for your bad karma or whatever, but you yourself will. Your bad conscience will make you hurt yourself. Also, the rules are just useful in themselves, don't be bad to other people, or they might seek revenge etc.  I am just mentioning this to advise you against using voodoo, it doesn't sound like a very healthy way to strive for empowerment - I think it would hurt your soul.\n\nEdit 2: check out the Wikipedia article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voodoo apparently voodoo dolls are not even really voodoo

1. Your first answerer, charolette r, has not answered your question. So don't bother going to www.nicaragua.com/culture, because there are no photos to be seen there.\n\n2. Have a look at the photos here:\nhttp://www.vianica.com/photo/1/6\nhttp://www.vianica.com/go/specials/6-racial_groups_Nicaragua.html\nhttp://www.nicaliving.com/node/1833\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Fiestas_Patronales_de_Santo_Domingo_de_Guzman_Managua.jpg\nhttp://www.terraexperience.com/Nicaraguan_Doll_Clothes_American_Girl_18_Inch_Doll_Chica_Nica_Doll_Project.htm\n\nThis kind of information is readily accessible via a simple internet search (see below). I hope this is useful.

What type of Vodou are you talking about. From your spelling are you asking about New Orleans voodoo? Are you asking about Haitian Vodou? Dominican Republic Veinte-Uno Divisiones? Vodoun in West Africa? \n\nIf you are interested in Haitian Vodou you can check the website of the humfort I belong to. A list of articles written by Mambo. This is a house in the U.S, that follows Haitian regleman. http://www.sosyetedumarche.com/vodou_inf...\n\nYou can also check our the site of my Mambo initiatory Mama. Her house is in Jacmel, Haiti. http://members.aol.com/racine125/index1.... \n\np.s. There is no end on the world in Vodou.  Our destiny as humans is to live, die, and go to Ginen to be with God until we are called from the waters to help our family.

Oh, some of the QUESTIONS that are floating around out there, seriously....\nbut I WILL fight my temptation to outline the "birds and the bees" for you, what with community standards, and so many people with little or no sense of humor these days. Anyway, i guess with enough unsafe doll making, an unfortunate doll pregnancy could occur, so I guess just keep pounding away at it and good luck.

It would help to know what kind of information you are looking for.  There was an HBO special called "Living Dolls" that followed a couple of children through some of these pageants and the extent their parents would go to to see them win.

I have researched this question for you:\n\nSimple answer yes. What I am giving you is information that may lead to a better understanding of 'Voodoo' instead. These are note from a previous answer I gave.:\n\nFor too many, the word “voodoo” conjures up some wild images. Weird curses involving bones and pins stuck in poppets. Secret societies making sacrifices to their demonic gods. Evil priests raising zombies. Media has given us a sensational but unrealistic view of the vodoun religion. Although some of these are mildly accurate (sacrifice, animal bones and voodoo dolls) they are but a small part of the religion that is practiced today. Just as in Wicca, the vodoun make charms and create spells for money, health, etc. In fact because of the images associated with this word, most practitioners prefer the term Vodou. Although media would have us believe the vodoun are strictly in it for self-gain, that’s not true. According to Vodou belief, magic shouldn’t be employed for selfish gain, especially if it would hurt someone else.\n\nVodou came form the tribal practices and beliefs of the slaves who were brought to Haiti from West Africa. In the 17th century, slaves bound for the West Indies were taken from over 100 different African ethnic groups. The beliefs and customs of all these groups combined to form Vodou. The two groups who had the greatest influence were the Fon and the Yoruba.\n\nThe most important religious practice was ancestor worship. By remembering their ancestors and passing down their knowledge from generation to generation ensuring that their religious traditions would live on.\n\nThe Fon believed in hundreds of immortal spirits called vodu. Because the people had personal relationships with the spirits, they needed to communicate with the vodu. Ritual enabled them to talk to the spirits. The most important elements of the tribal rituals were…\n- dancing, drumming and chanting to communicate with the spirits\n- animal sacrifices made as offerings to the spirits\n- a priest or priestess who interpreted messages from the spirits\n- possession of the bodies of participants in ritual by the spirits.\n\nThe main purpose of the ritual was to communicate with the vodu and receive their guidance in making important decisions. They did this by communicating indirectly with the spirits via the priest/priestess to help their followers determine who their personal vodu were and to interpret the messages for them.\nPriests and priestesses were chosen for their ability to connect with the spirits. They were said to have inherited this talent from their mothers or fathers. They were “born into priesthood”.\n\nPriests became the religious and community leaders of the slaves. Any rebellious priest was usually sold to prevent them from “sowing the seeds of dissent” in that empire. \n\nThese religious practices continue to thrive today for modern day Benin. Vodoun is the official religion. It is also the dominant religion in Togo and southwest Ghana.\n\nAs in every religion, there are those who use it for wrong. With any religion that deals with magic it is said these wrongful users practice black magic. Although legitimate priests and priestesses are taught both the good and the bad, they take an oath upon initiation not to cause harm to others.\n\nThe lwa most likely to assit in black magic are : Kalfou, Ezili Danto’, Marinette, Bosou, Ti-jean-petio, Maman Brijit, Ge’de’- Nibo, and Baron Krimine’l.\n\nOnce a priest/priestess begins to practice black magic, they are known as a bo’ko’. A bo’ko’ has no temple or devotees and does all his/her rituals in secret. Bo’ko’ are said to serve the lwa with both hands because they practice both white and black magic. When a bo’ko’ buys the powers of one of the dark lwa, he’she must pay a high price, usually life-long service to the lwa. This pact between the lwa and the bo’ko’ is called an angajan. An angajan is like a shortcut to quic

The Toy Shoppe.  I think they're somewhere in the south, physically, but that's irrelevant to the internet.  They sell dolls and teddy bears and accessories.
