Minorities At Risk For Drowning
Obama Honors Fallen Troops
It appears New York's Steinway piano family may have been into something far stranger than building world-class keyboards.
A box of antique voodoo dolls and voodoo masks was found at the Steinway Mansion in the Astoria, Queens landmark by an auctioneer preparing to sell items in the home.
It isn't certain whether the last owner of the house, Michael Halberian, used the masks and dolls in rituals before his death in December at the age of 82.
The discovery shocked auctioneer Michael Capo who called the find "eerie" and said that his staff, while professional, wants nothing to do with the objects.
"There is a dark story here," Capo told reporters.
Really?
What makes these masks so much more sinister than the masks people collect and adorn their homes with all around the world?
Capo said he isn't sure if he will put the masks up for auction yet. My guess is that you will see those "eerie" masks on sale with all the other items in the home, now that Capo has done his best to raise interest in them and generate some publicity.
If Capo is experienced enough to be clearing the Steinway Mansion, I'm sure these masks aren't the first ones he has run across while clearing out big, old homes of the rich and famous.
The first group of items from the Steinway Mansion are expected to go on sale March 26.
Be on the lookout for a box of spooky-looking masks and dolls that will be sold to the highest bidder.

Most rich people have gotten involved with the dark arts to attain riches. This is no surprised for 1 John 2:15-17 says, "(15) Do not be loving either the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him; (16) because everything in the world—the desire of the flesh and the desire of the eyes and the showy display of one’s means of life—does not originate with the Father, but originates with the world. (17) Furthermore, the world is passing away and so is its desire, but he that does the will of God remains forever."

I decree and declare that anything sent my way that is not sent from God Almighty I send it back to the bottomless pit, where it came from;
I decree and declare any weapon formed against me will not prosper;
I decree and declare that we will thrive in good prosperity;
I decree and declare that we will thrive in Love, Life, Truth, Peace, Knowledge, Wisdom, Understanding, Grace and Mercy; and
I decree and declare that His Mercy endureth forever.
I decree and declare that PEACE will be still.
Amen. Amen. Amen.

how to make voodoo dolls
I don't know why voodoo dolls are used to casts spell or any magic. But there are also voodoo dolls which are cute and use as a decor. I think this is really weird, but many say that using voodoo dolls in making spells really works out. Sometimes it is scary to think about the voodoo dolls because they seem to be used by black witches.
