Teenage Pagan

Hello there!

Apologies for my lack of posts, I’ve been very busy. Yesterday, I accidentally ventured into the weird yet wonderful world of ‘HooDoo’. I became so totally engrossed in this website that I ended up completely losing track of time.

Anyway, today I felt inclined to make a traditional ‘spirit doll’, or ‘voodoo doll’. However, these are not the kind of dolls you stick pins in to reap revenge at an enemy, no. Think of them more as a ‘portal’ to your matron goddess, or spirit, much like a statue, but on a more personal level.

I suppose it’s a little difficult to explain, but I ended up making a rather plump but cute Ceridwen - I have apologised for my sewing skills - which I will post photos of later.

It’s excellent fun, and a very cheap alternative to the actual statue of her (£110!!!), in fact I just reused a lot of old fabric that I had lying around and stuffed her with the remaining insides of an old toy. I also gave her my bracelet that I made, just to make up for the fact that she is rather lumpy in places.

She did take a while to make, and according to many websites about spirit dolls, I now have to spend 24 hours bonding with her… I’m not sure how well she’ll go down at school, or if she’ll even fit in my bag, but oh well!

Blessed Be!
