When a Voodoo doll's arms and legs are tied up, that is evidence of a binding spell. The purpose of the spell is to rid yourself of the negative energies of someone who is mentally or emotionally abusing you. If done properly, it will not harm the object of the spell nor will it affect his or her daily life in any way. It will simply make the person powerless to mentally or emotionally harm you or anyone else.

The word voodoo refers to a specific type of magic that originated in Africa, as practiced by African shamans (sometimes known as witch doctors). Voodoo is best known for the use of the voodoo doll, which is supposed to be magically connected to a person, so that by harming the doll, you can harm the person.

I think so. I mean, if you poke them, it hurts, so wouldn't it be the relevant answer to think that you would croak if your voodoo doll's head got cut off? i think so. <><><><><> Voodoo has no power beyond what the recipient gives it.

It could mean that the spirits that be did not want you using the doll at that time. It could also mean you have tricky house spirits playing jokes on you.. such things happen to me frequently. After you have done a good bit of searching for the doll, if you still cannot find it, say aloud "Please, give it back!". After doing this I will usually found the missing item sitting in a rather obvious place.
