For the solstice I wanted to craft a Mari Lwyd dolly for kiddo to interact with closer to Yule. I put this together in around 4 days! Kiddo has been feeding it, petting it, and generally enjoying it. It stays next to her advent calendar tree. It ate up all its carrots, lettuce, and oats last night that kiddo gave it. :3

Ended up making this a poppet. Focused on lots of good things for our family. It has a birch spine and some stones to hold it up.

Did you know?

Poppets are sympathetic magic used in many folk traditions around the world. These dolls are used for healing as well as hexing. Evidence of use dates back to ancient India, Greece, Egypt, & Rome.

Voudoun rarely uses poppets. The name “voodoo doll” came from white people and was perpetuated by Hollywood. Dolls with pins stuck in them? Found in England.

(This post spurred by seeing a photo of a “voodoo doll,” a decorated poppet from an unknown root tradition.)

Witch Tip: If you need an inexpensive, incognito, and easy to use material to make poppets, Play-Doh is an option! It also comes in all kinds of different colors, which could be beneficial for some types of spell work!
