These Voodoo dolls are inspired by the powerful magickal beings known as the djab. Although the word “djab” is derived from the French word “diable” (devil),  djabs are personal spirits that belong to a specific person and not akin to the devil in the Christian sense of the word. Often the relationship between the djab and the person is in the form of a magickal contract. A djab is most frequently invoked to get rid of enemies, take action against an enemy or business competitor, increase one's wealth, or to create other material successes. In addition, djabs are used for healing purposes. While djabs are happy to provide their services, they do require payment from their possessor on a regular basis. If they are not tended to appropriately, djabs are fast to punish and have been known to punish severely, including punishments of death.

Djabs are quite colorful characters actually, and have been known to dance in the streets, usually in groups of four, singing unusual songs, banging trash cans and clanking chains. While they are spiritual/magickal beings, they are tied to the physical world, unlike the Loas. The typically reside in crossroads, landmarks, and the bodies of animals.

There are many types of djabs, all of which are different and unique beings. Characteristically mischievous, djabs can be summoned for malevolent reasons and are typically done so by a Bokor. Djabs can cause death by absorbing the life force of an intended victim.

Sound scary? They can be! Sound powerful? Absolutely! In fact, djabs are so powerful that the success of the Haitian revolution against the French is attributed in large part to the help of the djab djabs. Legend has it that djabs were invoked by Haitian slaves to fight along side them in battle. Consequently, the djabs awarded the Haitians protection against bullets, and aided in the Haitian’s victory over their French enslavers by using biological warfare in the form of yellow fever, ultimately wiping out most of General LeClerc's military force.
