Ben, I think that David is talking about the pure form of Voudon that does not condone the use of "Voodoo Dolls." David is correct, pure Voudon does NOT.

Voudon, in the pure sense is a beautiful nature religion that does not try to harm or exert control over others. They understand this would be self-destructive.

There are certainly offshoots and people who call themselves Voodoo that do carry on harmful procedures, but these are fringe groups that have nothing to do with Voudon.

Same with Wiccans. Another nature religion that has some noisy, nasty outsiders who believe more in the Hollywood movies than in actual disciplined study.
