dolls and pins? sounds more like voudun than magick. i suppose its just another paradigm for looking at the universal energies (aren't they all?), and remember, if you stick your foot in the ocean you are going to get wet.

Greetings!
Poppet magic has been around for millenia, in all kinds of cultures. Since you are working on your postgraduate studies and have landed here, you must be aware of the internet and Google. Use it. Also feel free to wander through our site and glean some info. Our library contains a number of articles about the laws of magic that should, perhaps, preface your thesis. Good luck and happy researching! (I believe that some solid work on your part will help you to understand the subject matter!) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wandwizard.gif)

In general the folks who perform these sorts of magics do not like to have them public. 99.9% of the stuff on the internet about these sorts of magics is not worth even reading. Of course most pages on the net don't count as credible sources anyways.

Since you are working on your thesis, I would recommend more book research and talking to people local to you in person. There are some anthropology books as well as books with personal interviews, as well as how to books that might help you.

The Afro/Cuban traditions as well as the older witchcraft traditions are where most of this sort of work stems from. Also, it is not very commonly used by modern practitioners due to their ethics, lack of knowledge, the three fold law etc. etc. Some modern Satanists do use this practice though. Aside from that it is practitioners that are going back into the older lore.

Hopefully your research gets you a little past "Voodoo spell kits" and the like LOL.

But many aspects of Vodoun is magic. Also their are the European trads that used this as well.

Dolls(of sorts) are also used in slavic magick and their old pagan traditions (the problem is that such belifes and ways where almost put to death by cristianity )


This is what i was told:
-Forest spirits that inhabit trees ,manifest trough its branches ,taking human-like shape like -<-<
(there is also belief that trees can keep safe souls of the dead)
Such spirits bring luck and can be use to protect and ward off evil (although some can be real pranksters (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chuckyani.gif) )
Nature of these spirits vary and a wise finder will recognise it before taking them in and prepearing them (peeling off bark and dressing them to fit their task,personality or role -nothing extra should be added -like extra parts- they must be natural)

-it is hard to find any information about this ....
