“These are not simply dolls, but they have traditional Slavic symbolisms and meanings. They act as magic talismans!
This small doll combines elements of two Slavic talisman dolls – the body-rattle of the traditional Northern House Keeper that existed in the Russian North, and the face-twist in the form of a spiral, found in the Komi-Permyaks, Khants and Mansi.
The spiral face symbolizes the birth and endless continuation of life, and the flaps of fabric tied together reflect the multilevel nature of a person and the three surrounding worlds. In other words, in the center – the essence, the truth, the indivisible and integral, and around this – the entire world around us, divided into layers. All of this is firmly connected together.
The shape of this doll resembles a rattle or a broom. With these elements, slavs expelled evil spirits out of the house. It was believed that the more vivid colors this doll have – the greater its strength.
All of these dolls are handcrafted and special, they bring with themselves ancient magic through traditions that were kept for hundreds of years. Such dolls are really hard to find these days making them even more special and unique!”

“These poppets were created from the energy and imagination of my 5 year old grandson. The material used for crafting these poppets were his old blue jeans, My little man loves to play outdoors; to talk to fairies and sing with the birds, He gives thanks to Deity and listens to her creatures. He tells stories of the bugs and rocks he comes across in the backyard, the park, the mountains and the beach. He imagination is amazing.
One day I was cutting his jeans to make them into shorts. I felt such love and imagination and wonder from the cloth that was left over I placed it in my temple space; and finished making his shorts.
I later crafted four poppets, one I kept and the other three I offer here.
As we get older we tend to forget our childhood imagination and creativity. This poppet will help you regain it and tap into. I found using it in meditation helped me use more of the right side of my brain. To get ideas I never had before. )0(“

What can you tell me about the circumstances that led to this remote healing?
Well, some friends of the folks in the circle were seriously ill and in general, we want to send the healing out to “all who need it and can accept it.
How did you create the poppet?
I drew it on the computer, printed it on cotton on my fancy printer and sewed it and stuffed it. That cotton prepared for inkjet printers is a great invention.
Were there any special rituals you did during the construction?
The poppet was blessed during the beginning of the ritual.
Can you describe the healing ritual? How many people participated, how it went, etc?
I should point out that my husband is a Reiki master and training in remote healing, but we wanted the power of the group to boost the effectiveness. There were six plus us, so 8 in total. We drummed up the power in the room, each person acting as leader for a time. When the lead switched, I lit a candle. At the end, we touched the poppet to hold the power. Then we raised the power in a traditional Wiccan raising and holding the poppet, we sent it out.
What does raising power feel like to you?
I can feel the power come up from the earth, through the floor into my being. I know it’s not real, but the illusion is very strong and it seems to be effective. Real is one way of looking at things.
My husband says about reiki (he is a reiki master) that he doesn’t believe in reiki, he thinks it’s a pyramid scheme, but he has seen it work. I feel that way about healing rituals
After my father’s first heart attack, my husband and I did a reiki healing for him and he survived, which no one expected. We did not tell him about it, but my father said afterwards that he didn’t know what we did, but don’t do it again, allow nature to take its course. So he knew something had happened.
Did you or anyone else who partook in the remote healing feel side effects after the ritual?
If any of us holds their hands apart and someone else put their own hands between them, the second person can sense the heat between their hands.
All the people we specifically did the ritual for survived their cancer, although one is still dealing with some aftermath of the treatment, but he is alive and functional. One person was told her chances were of surviving the operation were not good and she would be in the ICU for at least a week. A few hours after surgery, she messaged me with a photo of herself in a regular bed, not in the ICU. She is doing fine now.

“Up for you consideration is this cute little poppet. He’s made of soft cotton print fabric, poly-fil, hemp, and button eyes. He measures 8 inches long.
In the realms of traditional witchcraft, the poppet is supposed to depict a “good” witch who inspires productivity and safety, but also protects against any ill-will directed to the home. It is considered good luck to give a poppet to a friend or family member.
Poppets can be used in spells for protection, luck, prosperity, health, and happiness into the person they represent.”

I used threads to create a rainbow, the knots represent friendship and connection.
Red for life, orange for healing,yellow for sunshine, green for nature,blue for harmony, indigo for serenity, and violet for spirit. I chose stones not only for their color to match the rainbow of Pride, also for their healing energy and vibrations.
Garnet revitalizes, purified and balances energies, bringing serenity or passion. ( depends on how you need it ) it inspires love, alleviates emotional disharmony, activates and strengthens courage and hope. Something we need more of in this world.
Red aventurine with its lustrous orange color, provides physical, emotional and mental healing that can lead to a more joyful and balanced life.
Citrine opens intuition, imparts joy, wonder and enthusiasm. It raises self esteem and self confidence.
Green aventurine brings good luck and prosperity and positivity.
Lapis lazuli encourages self awareness, allows self expression, reveals your inner truth, helps to instill honesty and compassion for yourself. It stimulates creativity and clarity. It assists you when you need to confront and speak your truth with confidence.
Amethyst relieves stress and strain. It soothes irritability and balances any mood swings. It dispels anger and rage, fear and anxiety and dissolves negativity.
I know she is little, but she is very magical. She stands with you, beside you and will hold you up if you need.”
“A healing doll is made to represent a person, animal, Goddess or God. They are used in meditation, self help or ritual magic and spell work to effect change through the application of imitative magic. The use of healing dolls, poppets and dolls in healing, magic and art dates back to ancient times. They can be fashioned from all kinds of materials. I try to use as many natural resources as possible, such as: roots, branches, herbs, shells, stones, clay, metals, cottons and natural fibers. All things hold energy, from the growing herbs, bending branches, even the flowing dress worn on special occasions. I often use cloth donated from women worn during healing circles. These energies, along with the universal energy, give life to the doll.”
