Normal? A normal person would barricade all doors and windows and then set their house on fire.

Anyone can relate

i dunno. what evil juju you send out returns on you thricefold. better to just smash them with hammers and then turn them into dolls.

I've seen something about the voodoo dolls saying that they were not use for curses but rather the opposite.

They were basically a physical medical file used by folk doctor.

Folk doctors would make dolls for their regular patients and add needles to symbolize their illness and keep track of it.

In contemporary practice, villain hitting is often regarded as a modest, quasi-informal occupation typically performed by elderly women in roadside or underpass shrines, although commercial "DIY" kits are also available for the self-motivated.

I don't want to offend any traditions, but the end of that sentence had me laughing quite hard. Also: quite an interesting read.
