The gris gris bag is afro-carribean in origin and is used in several african and carribean belief systems.....notably voodoo.
It is filled with little bits of personal stuff... a clipping of say...your childs hair...soil from where you live....a dried leaf from some sacred place etc....that have meaning to the wearer and is meant to be worn as a talisman to protect against evil influences and as a good luck charm
