A poppet is a doll. It is the shape of a human that is used for
magical purposes.
They are used in spells to help either you or someone else.
These dolls can be made from wood, cloth, clay, paper, or fabric.
To make a fabric poppet cut a human outline from two pieces of fabric
with their right sides together.
It does not need to be detailed. You can keep the hands and feet
rounded.
If the poppet is to represent you, use a piece of fabric from some of
your old clothes.
Sew most of the figure with right sides together. Leave a small area
unsewn.
Turn it right side out and stuff. You may stuff the figure with
batting, tissue, straw, paper, or
whatever is handy. You may add herbs, a lock of hair or other
personal effect. Sew the hole.
You may add button eyes and decorate to personalize.
Do not make poppets of other people unless you have permission. Do
not destroy the poppet.
If it represents another person, give it to that person to keep it
safe.
If it was made for binding, bury it.
