Hello my darlings and welcome.
Today, I’m going to create a page in my book of shadows. A page showing how to make a poppet.
This little doll can represent you and be used in your magical workings.
Let’s do some magical crafting.
If you’d like to download a PDF of this Grimoire Page,

My Patrons can download recipes, book of shadows pages, artwork and more. All provided as PDF’s.
And I'll continue to add new, downloadable content as I do more projects on the channel.
When I design a page in my Book of Shadows,
I start with a pencil sketch. Then I go over it with waterproof ink, erase my pencil lines,
and finally, I go back in with watercolor paint to add color and backgrounds.
Today’s page is how to make a poppet. I start with a drawing of the doll I am
going to make. I give it a face and hair like mine. And of course I add a heart.
Next, I am writing a small chant or prayer that you can say over your poppet to connect
the doll with yourself, and make it a tool for positive change and spell work.
I conjure you doll of transformation. Be a guide for positivity in my life. I name you
__(and here you insert your name)__. United by my will, I give you life. So mote it be
You can substitute your own words or if you prefer not to say anything at all,
that is also perfectly acceptable. Next is a section on color correspondences
relating to the pins you may wish to use in your doll.
The color correspondences I have chosen for this book of shadows page are all based on my
personal feelings. You can personalize your own color correspondences differently if you like.
For me, yellow relates to creativity, communication. and success
Green relates to finance, luck and money. I also think of green as corresponding to health.
White is for purification, healing, and truth
Red corresponds with power, control, and sex
Purple represents wisdom, divination, and spirituality
Pink corresponds to love, friendship, and socializing.
Black is for repelling negativity, banishing, and protection.
Orange travel, study, and optimism.
Blue corresponds to prosperity, thought, and patience
Gold represents luxury, power, and success.
Next, I label the positions on my poppet with what kinds of actions they relate to.
The head, or crown, is Knowing. The eyes or,
Third Eye, is for seeing. And the mouth, or throat, for speaking.
The heart is for loving, the solar plexus for acting, and the hands for making.
The sacrum for feeling, the root for passion, and the feet for movement.
The stuffing recipe I am using is for my personal focus for
this poppet - which is health and creativity.
You can personalize your own stuffing materials to focus on what is important to you.
I will be stuffing my poppet with rosemary, lavender and calendula, clear or rose quartz,
hair or nail clippings, and poly fill stuffing or plastic beads.
To add additional magic, I'll be creating a sigil for my intentions,
and drawing directly onto the fabric inside the doll before I sew the fabric
together. This will internalize my intentions for the poppet.
The three things I am most interested in working on for myself are self-love,
creativity, and good health. So that is what the focus of my poppet will be.
But you can personalize your own color correspondences, stuffing materials,
and sigil, to focus on what is important to you. OR you can make several different poppets for
different magical workings you want to do in different areas of your life.
If you would like to see a tutorial on how to craft this poppet,
I will post a video on that topic as well, and leave a link to it below.
In the rest of this video, I add color with watercolor paints to finish my book of shadows
page. Remember that the color correspondences I have chosen for this book of shadows page
are all based on my personal preference and my focus for this poppet is health and creativity.
You can personalize your own color correspondences,
stuffing materials and sigil to focus on what is important to you.
