Love Puppet, I Mean Poppet


The making of Voodoo dolls, poppets, fetishes, and ritual effigies has taken place since antiquity. Though the practice is ancient, their present use remains similar.

Poppets can be used for healing purposes, promoting health, finding love, creating happiness and good luck, for protection, for binding, cursing, and to manipulate energy in numerous other ways. Poppets comes in several forms, including wax, cloth, paper, wood, root, and clay.

Today's Voodoodle was inspired by one of the vintage poppets that can be found in the New Orleans Voodoo museum. This style of Voodoo doll used to be quite popular in New Orleans. He has a red pin for love and a white pin for attracting love to him.
