Poppets are usually made to represent someone or something that for some reason is not present at the ritual performance, or it is the object of the spell -casting. The intention of poppets is that whatever actions are performed upon the effigy will be transferred to the subject. It is the intent and the energy that it is empowered with that counts.Mojo is a magical charm, a spell. It is usually a bag containing one or more magical items to charge the spell, carried, worn or put on altar or under pillow to bring the charm of the spell to its user.Do not mistake these dolls for voodoo dolls, they are NOT the same thing. Voodoo dolls are used for acts of binding and revenge. I do not give energy to that type of practice.The term poppet is also sometimes applied to a Maiden or Mother Goddess doll, used in harvest or other festivals to symbolize the fertility of the Earth and/or Goddess. In some instances, dolls are used to represent the male gender instead of the female ( corn dollies scarecrows and the Wicker Man of the Druids are examples). Poppets are believed to be infused with life by their makers. The doll is a "little life", symbolic of the owner’s inner person.It has been suggested that poppets were first used by Paleolithic hunters from about 50,000 B.C.E. An image of the animal being hunted was created, and a ritual resulting in a successful hunt was performed on the poppet. In ancient Greece (4th. century B.C.E.), poppets were referred to as "Kolossos". They were used for healing and self defense of the individual or community and protection of boundaries. Among the Greeks and Hellenes the most common material for making poppets were clay, wax and lead. The Babylonians often used poppets for defensive or protective magic. They were often made of clay or wax. These poppets were place around the entrances to their homes. and still others were buried, depending on the need. The ancient Egyptians also used poppets for protection from their enemies. In the United states, mountain folk, particularly the women, have used poppets for ages in order to attract lover. Witches often use poppets for healing and love magic. Though one should not use these for binding magic. The point being made is that poppets have been in use for centuries and in different ways by many diverse cultures.Get Your Own! | View Slideshow
