Need to de-stress? Voodoo will do!

"If you have a bone to pick with anyone, from the hairstylist who cut your bangs too short to the accountant who reports you owe $1,000 in taxes ... " --Chicago Tribune

"INVISIBLE FORCE"

Between Togo and Nigeria you will find the tiny Republic of Benin (formorly Dahomey) where the Fon language is spoken. It is from their word Vodun, meaning "invisible force" that we get Voodoo.

Though culturally, Voodoo is considered a force to be respected and reckoned with, today it is seen more light-heartedly as a tongue-in-cheek means of "exacting revenge" without actually making a ding in your Karma. In fact, "voodoo kits" are often available in the "office supplies" section of many catalogs - including Amazon.com

Whether pining for an unreachable love, needing to exact a little retribution on the office gossip, or inflict a little harmless road-rage on the jerk

 

who cut you off, you will find that the magic of these voodoo "kit" solutions exists in how effective they are at destressing.

Most kits contain an effigy (a soft cotton doll) and black and white pins so you can really "stick it" to someone. White pins, of course are for invoking good things on your target while black pins are for putting the whammy on them. Remember, it's all in good humor! And it will leave your karma intact.

 
 
There are well over 50 voodoo kits out there. These are a few of our favorites. And remember,it's all in good fun!
