Perfect for use as a hanging talisman, this rope doll/Voodoo doll can also be used as a divination altar doll to act as a conduit for ancestral spirits. The doll is created from sticks formed in a cross, and bound with jute twine, and layered with twine, and two kinds of purple and black yarn. The colour purple is associated with prophetic dreams, which can be used to help analyze situations and guide us. Black is a protective shade. The face is a skull bead. The doll has black and purple feathers, and wears a skeleton key charm. Seven small silver bells are attached to the ends of the rope to capture the attention of the spirits. A beautiful gift, or an interesting addition to your altar or collection! *7 Inches tall (not including ends of rope) ** Photo props NOT included ** Voodoo dolls are used for healing, protection, attraction, love spells, and spiritual guidance. They can be used as conduits for the spirit world, and are used with "sympathetic magic". The concept is that symbolic actions performed with intent on the doll can have an effect on the spiritual realm, and influence the mortal world. The dolls can represent you or someone else, or a spirit/deity. They can serve as a focal point, a strong visual tool, and a portal. A doll is just a doll until it is infused with energy, intention, and is empowered with potential that is activated when "tag locks" (pieces of clothing, hair, nails, personal information such as a name/date of birth, and other personal elements) are attached to it. Combine doll magic with colour, herbal, and candle magic to enhance intention, and increase the vibratory influence. Choosing A Voodoo Doll: Choose a doll suited to your intentions/workings - this could be the colours that the doll is dressed in, charms etc. that is embellished with. It is important to pick a doll that you can easily visually connect with and link to the desired purpose. Choose one that best represents your intent, and you'll find it much easier to focus on during rituals.
