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.

Three New Voodoo Squidoodles

This Voodoo Squiddoodle was created for my new lens Voodoo Squidoodles at Squidoo by Gretchen Little. I knew she would do a great job incorporating one of her fabulous hearts with the squid, and I can't wait to put him on the lens Thanks Gretchen!



Here is the same squiddoodle. This time the Oshun's ritual symbol is on the heart. Now it is officially a Voodoo Squiddoodle.



This guy is my new Voodoo Squiddoodle, swimming with La Baleine, who is the Mother of the Waters. My, he looks like a huge phallic symbol, doesn't he?
