Doll Baby Conjure is a course offered by Crossroads University that explores the history of doll magick throughout history and across cultures through assigned readings and making several types of dolls and learning how they are used in a ritual context.

Description

Using dolls and effigies in sympathetic magic rituals is as old as humankind. More often than not, ritual dolls and effigies were used for healing, fertility, and empowerment. In some cultures such as ancient Greece, they were used to bind enemies. European poppets were widely used in folk magic and witchcraft to curse an enemy. Other types of dolls were used in harvest customs and burial rites, made as talismans, or used as teaching aids for children. Today, Voodoo dolls are used for all of these reasons and more.

This course explores doll baby conjure throughout history and across cultures and guides students in making several distinct types of magical dolls and how to use them. Topics covered include: the history of doll magic, how to make magical dolls, and how to use dolls in conjure.
