Thread: Magic Involving Doll possesion

Hello! I am doing research and am looking for leads involving magic related to doll possession.

Are you trying to find out about how to use the poppet, or if a doll is possessed?

Im talking about any form of occult practice involving dolls,

That is a very broad spectrum.

There's poppets, of course, of which the stereotypical voodoo doll is the most famous example. They're used for more than curses, however. A properly prepared poppet can also be used for remote healing, protection and "love" spells. They can also be set as a sort of picture of Dorian Gray decoy, attracting harm to itself thus sparing the original subject.

Dolls and stuffed animals can also be used for a servitor focus. The doll serves to house the spirit of a servitor, serving as both a home and a physical representation of the entity. The servitor will typically take on the appearance of the doll, leading to some question as to whether the doll itself is alive in some manner. This is the magic behind the evil doll, Chucky. It's also the paradigm in force for holy idols. The physical idol houses an aspect of the god.

wow this is interesting

has anyone seen puppet master.


I wonder if this is the same ideology for idols(a earthly representation of a god).

This is a pure Voodoo type of magick and it is effective too. I will have to look up the info from my personal belongings and give you the details on how to create dolls for basically everything.
I knew one man who cured himself with a blue dolly, and colour coding is very important for doll rituals.

It is not pure Voodoo, there are many witches and women in the Appalachian mountains and all around the south that also uses dolls in magick. There are women who only pass down to other women and they are not Voodoo practitioners. This type of magick is known to many.

Having been born and raised in the Appalachain mountains (I grew up in Asheville, NC) what sort of magick is this? I've not heard of it. The only magick practitioning (though to be honest my mother as I was growing up sheltered me from even knowing much about it) in and around Asheville I had heard of was Wiccan practices though I'm sure there is much much more in the area.

Lady Dunsany my father's friend who died, called it Southern Magick, it was passed down from each generation of women. My Dad said it was passed down verbally, no written word. My Dad said Lady Dunsany did everything with words and used dolls, but never told him any secrets. One of the old admin here told my Dad there was a thread on Southern Magick here written by lady Dunsany, but I have never seen it.
