| HEALING WITH POPPETS
The Poppet can be used for healing purposes--in fact that is probably its primary use.
The Poppet can also be used for love magic. The same construction method is used: two
outlines cut from cloth, sewn together and marked with identifying symbols and characteristics
(all whilst concentrating your thoughts on the person it represents). You should stuff the Poppet
with the herb appropriate for the person's ailment. If ever in doubt as to what to use, stuff the
Poppet with Calendula (also called Marigold, Marybud, Holibud--Calendula officinalis),
which is a cure-all. You should name the Poppet (as in love-magic, to symbolically represent
the person who is to benefit from the healing spell), sprinkling and censing it, then lay it on the altar.
Should you be working for someone who has had surgery, then make an incision in the Poppet in
the appropriate place. Then, taking it up from the altar, concentrate on the healing and direct
your power into the patient as you sew up the incision.
You can do Auric and/or Pranic healing using the Poppet in lieu of the actual person.
Once you have named and consecrated the Poppet, then
anything you do to it, of course, you do to that person.
POPPET MAGICK HEALING
There are various forms and types of this magic, and listed below is a basic guide and
some tips on how to enhance your poppet spell. Poppet magic is extremely powerful and
should be used with care.
Most people associate poppet magic with Voodoo and perceive it as harmful.
In most cases the poppets used in Wicca are used for positive effects such as healings,
love, happiness and they can also be used for bindings (only if necessary).
For an effective spell, you will need a poppet (made of natural material and it can be
colored to enhance the spell), a photo - or if possible, something of the person's
(i.e.: a lock of hair, fingernail etc) and any herbs, and gemstones needed as well.
Sometimes ribbons are incorporated into the working too.
When you are done casting, the poppet should not be destroyed. Instead give it to the
person you are healing or if it was for yourself, keep it. If a binding was performed, then
bury it off your property.
