The concept of a major league voodoo doll is an interesting and somewhat macabre idea that combines the worlds of voodoo and sports. Voodoo dolls are commonly associated with the practice of voodoo, a religion and spiritual tradition that originated in West Africa and is now widely practiced in Haiti and other parts of the Caribbean. Voodoo dolls are usually small, human-shaped dolls that are believed to have the power to influence a person or situation when certain rituals and spells are performed on them. In the context of a major league voodoo doll, one can imagine a scenario where a voodoo doll is created in the likeness of a well-known or successful sports figure, such as a professional baseball player. The doll would then be used by fans or even other players to influence the performance of the player, either positively or negatively. For example, if a fan wanted to help their favorite team win a game, they might perform rituals and spells on the voodoo doll in order to grant the player with supernatural abilities or to cause the opposing team's players to have a series of bad luck.

For example, if a fan wanted to help their favorite team win a game, they might perform rituals and spells on the voodoo doll in order to grant the player with supernatural abilities or to cause the opposing team's players to have a series of bad luck. Conversely, if a player wanted to sabotage the performance of an opponent, they might use a voodoo doll to perform spells and rituals that would curse the player and diminish their performance on the field. Of course, the idea of a major league voodoo doll is purely fictional and exists primarily in popular culture.

Puff the Magic Dragon

This handsome volume offers a charming interpretation of the 1960s folk song, written by Yarrow and Lipton and famously recorded by Peter, Paul and Mary. Featuring a soothing palette highlighted by greens and blues, Puybaret's graceful acrylic on linen paintings are intermittently misty and sunny. Echoing the gentle cadence of the song, the sweeping landscapes and seascapes reveal Honalee to be a magical place indeed, with faces appearing on trees, flowers and rocks. Other whimsical flourishes include the book's affable ancillary characters, including diminutive winged fairies and red-and-white striped dolphin-like critters that wear graduation caps. There is, of course, the inevitable somber moment when “One gray night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more,/ And Puff, that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar”; the dragon gazes wistfully upon the departing boy and then slips sadly into his cave. But at the creative hand of Puybaret, a French illustrator who here makes his American publishing debut, the song's potentially sad denouement takes an uplifting turn. As the chorus is repeated one final time, the delighted Puff spies a girl approaching—ostensibly Jackie's daughter—a new friend to frolic with in the autumn mist. Youngsters concerned about the fate of Puff's first playmate will be comforted to see a smiling, grown-up Jackie looking on. Adding to the appeal of the book is a CD presenting a new recording of the song (and two others), sung by Yarrow and his daughter Bethany, accompanied by cellist Rufus Cappadocia. An impressive performance all around. Ages 3-7. (Aug.)

It is a creative and imaginative concept that combines elements of sports, superstition, and the occult. While voodoo itself is a legitimate and practiced religion, the idea of using voodoo dolls to control the outcomes of sports events is purely for entertainment purposes. In conclusion, the concept of a major league voodoo doll is an intriguing idea that merges the worlds of voodoo and sports. While it is not based in reality, it does offer a unique and imaginative perspective on the influence of superstition and belief in the realm of sports..
