The Dolls original intent was made  to heal the body the pins actually were to heal and remove disease or illness  or do  exorcism to get rid of evil spirits

Hollywood and TV shows and movies  turned a healing tool into an mysterious occult object with a really  bad name spread by Religious propaganda  

The Pins were anointed with  healing oils  
the doll would be  filled with stuffing  and  Small stones to symbolize the organs
the stones are painted or naturally colored they were to let the user know they hit the correct spot 

Yes they can be used for bad purposes but so can anything else the original intent and way 99% of people who use  Voodou/ Poppet dolls is to heal never hurt or cause harm to anyone.


Here is a breakdown of the basic colors used in New Orleans Voodoo hoodoo rituals and rootwork and what they mean.

White. White is associated with subtle energies and is used for devotions in remembering, contacting departed souls, and for blessings, purity, healing, and cleansing.

Red. The color red represents love, passion, romance, affection, energy, lust, fertility, attention, libido, victory, and sexuality. Red candles are used in love spells and charms, fertility spells, sex magic, and seduction.

Purple. Works using the color purple are typically concerned with power, psychic ability, commanding, compelling, controlling, mastery, ambition, prophetic dreams, or bending others to one’s will. Purple may also be used for peace, protection, and abundance purposes.

Green. The color green is associated with money spells, wealth and prosperity spells, gambling luck, general good luck, fertility, bountiful gardens, and business success. When you want to influence anything to do with money and prosperity, you will use the color green.

Black. The color black can be used to remove evil or send harm. For example, black is used to repel negativity, for protection, or to banish negative people from your life. Another way of using the color black is in inflicting harm or destruction on another. Binding spells, hexes and jinxes, curses, enemy tricks, coercive magic, and summoning dark spirits will often be associated with the color black. Black can also be used in grieving rituals.

Yellow. The color yellow is associated with mental agility and clarity, communication, fast action, success, happiness, money (gold), court cases, and excelling at school or in an academic setting.

Pink. The color pink is used to draw love, success, friendships, romance, and attraction.

Blue. For health, peace, harmony and abundance. Blue is associated with Marie Laveau and St. Joseph in New Orleans, and also with séances and love spells when harmony and peace in a love relationship are desired.

Brown. The color brown is associated with practical and material blessings, court cases, and neutrality.

Orange. This color is associated with recognition, control, changing plans, and creativity. It is also linked to strong or gentle energies, and can be coercive or subtly suggestive.
