The Folklore and Magic of Dolls
My latest book explores some of the stories, legends and folklore of magical dolls and investigates why some people fear them. Along with directions and patterns to create your own unique dolls for spell-craft or as temple icons, this book is teeming with inspiration and ideas to create a world of playful magic for any purpose.
From the elaborately carved foliate faces found in churches to the mass-produced fashion dolls of childhood, dolls have been part of our world throughout history and across the globe.
Be inspired by the patterns, rituals and spells in this delightful volume to create magical dolls for protection or even conjure up a Green Man figure to adorn the sacred altar!
The Folklore and Magic of Dolls has been a joy to write and research and includes historical photographs and illustrations, several patterns and photographs of dolls used for the spells provided. I hope you’ll be excited to learn about this fascinating subject and would love to see any dollies you making using the patterns in the book!
