Poppet are used in sympathetic magick, following along the theory of “like creates like.”
There are numerous ways to create a poppet, and can be used to harm or to heal or for a specific purpose.
A poppet is commonly made from a natural cloth, but may also be made from clay, wax, wood, roots or other material.
Poppets may be filled with a blend of herbs, stones, crystals, keepsakes, personal items of the person, wood, paper, or a taglock. You may add sigils, secret instructions & message to "program" the poppet.
As you are creating your poppet, a connection to the person it represents (or yourself!), is done by using a magical link; chanting, whispering, visualising, enchanting.
These poppets come in pairs so that they may be sewn together when completed. A useful tip is to begin sewing around the poppet, then stuff and complete the sewing.
A poppet may be placed on your altar during ritual to enchant and instruct the poppet to do your will.
