This is a form of magic in either [[UsefulNotes/TheCaribbean Caribbean]] or [[TheBigEasy Louisianan]] flavors. Many practitioners call themselves [[ReligionIsMagic priests or priestesses]], and they almost always do have magical powers, [[HowUnscientific regardless of whether or not the supernatural exists or is even mentioned elsewhere in]] TheVerse.[[note]]Ironically, Voodoo is more likely to be a hoax in explicitly supernatural settings[[/note]] Sympathetic {{Voodoo Doll}}s (ie, [[RealityChangingMiniature what you do to them appears on the person they represent]]) are a classic trick, as is making [[VoodooZombie zombies]]. Other practitioners simply use [[FortuneTeller tarot cards or other divination tools]] and they always work, even if they have to rewrite reality to do it. {{Shrunken Head}}s may also be present.
