Art by Murray Tinkelman for the Ballantine Books paperback editions of H.P. Lovecraft’s stories.
Voodoo dolls are generally made or made with cloth and filled with cotton. but they can be made of any other type of material. such as: with corn leaves or wax. on New Orleans they do it with wooden sticks and they fill it with Spanish moss, cover it with cloth and finish making the details. and it has different uses, it is not only to inflict damage. It can be used to represent a person and help him with health problems for example. or any other kind of problem. You can also fill in with specific things: *personal "objects". *or some "herbs". and put more details if you wish. Or you can use it to make a representation of yourself and this in turn will be an "extension" of you and you can put it on your altar. so that a part of you is "accompanying" to the altar. Before using it, in general, before using it, it is "baptized" in the name of the person who is going to represent the doll.
and it is made "holy water".
or with any other type of water that is used within the "magic".

When I create a layout like this, I like to take a moment with each object to think about the life it lived before it came to be in my possession. Each of these small items have traveled and changed throughout time.
Each of bone was once part of a living creature with its own emotions, needs, dreams, and desires. It had thoughts and experiences, and therefore knowledge.
Each of the small plant specimens once grew and thrived in nature. They played an important role in the ecosystem providing food, oxygen, and shelter for many creatures.
Antiques such as the key and tiny clockwork gear have passed through many different hands before finding a home with me. They have years of stories to tell.
Each of these items are special to me for many reasons. What are some of your favorite treasures? Do they have a story behind them? 🌙🌿
