Our newest Voodoo Doll/Poppet is available in our Cynnamon Charmed Shop HERE. Be aware that these do go quickly. Although completely unique...there will be more dolls posted as made. This is a 12” minimum doll in cotton with poly-fil. The poly-fil is mixed with our Healing Herbal Blend giving it healing energy and making it smell wonderful. When the heart is sewn into place I place 2 Amethyst chips and 1 Quartz chip inside to bring love within the heart and then I fill it full with our Cynnamon Charmed Love Herbal Blend. Unique to my dolls, you will find a pocket on their backs. This pocket is so that the person using them can add other herbs, crystals, or personal items to personalize or bring certain energy to the doll. My thought was this: Say the doll is your personal poppet and you need to do healing, to the pocket you may add healing herbs and gemstones. For a while, you may use the doll to do work related to that healing. However, when you are finished you could discard those items (in the way you see fit based on your own tradition) and then maybe replace with ones for love or money to use the doll for another purpose later on. The back of the head is also bare so that the person could, if they choose, pin a picture to it of who the doll represents. 6 pearl pins (pictured in the heart) will be included with purchase of doll. Pictures of the doll and creation process in this description are specific to this doll! Look at the last picture to see what thread options are available in the Personalization kit. This doll symbolically: (this is what I see but you may see something completely different and that is JUST as valid here) • All the colors of elements are represented within this doll to bring the energy of all four elements. • The doll is made using a green cotton which gives it a feminine feel to me. Reminds me of the Earth and Taurus. • The star close to the heart represent the pentacle and the key represents the crone goddess. • The Gold on the feet and hands, as well as the colors on the pocket bring the more masculine aspect to the doll. • The dolls hair is made of grey yarn and is hot glued into place. It is put up into a high pony tail and secured with a silver colored metal piece. • “x” on the arms and legs show the scars and marks on the physical body. • It is then finished with a huge heart to represent just that…a large loving heart full of love of the earth and its life (represented by the tree pattern on the heart. • the imperfect stitching in this doll is important to show that we too our imperfect in our design. • Maybe for some the one eye represents the all seeing eye, while for others it could represent how we are blind in one eye to sense of seeing what we want…..many possibilities here. • For some, the pocket on the back of the doll could represent the baggage that we carry. Because I believe in personalization of these dolls, I am offering mine with personalization kits. This kit will contain an embroidery needle and 2 embroidery threads of your choice in color. This is so that, upon arrival, you can personalize these with markings of your own, by your own hand, and putting your own energy and intention into it. I could easily offer these as pre- personalized poppets but I feel that I would be missing the mark by doing that and you would be getting less than you deserve. Even if you have never sewn a thing, it’s about the intention, not the final product. It’s about putting some of yourself into your tool. To help you this kit will also include a quick and easy guide for a basic stitch you can choose to use in customizing your doll. When it comes to these dolls there are many different thoughts of use or beliefs on how and why they are used. You are more than capable of making those decisions for yourself but let me share some of my own ideas and thoughts. For myself, I have a single doll I use as a personal poppet. She is completely personalized to me. She is red showing me as a Leo and my fire element yet she is marked in many areas with green because of my Earth element, Taurus, ascendant. On her feet are skulls showing that I walk the path of my ancestors and my heart is white (showing purity) but covered with black moon and stars (showing that they live within my heart/ or I hold them close to the heart), as well as the yin/yang aspect of the black/white. You will find my sun sign symbols embroidered into it. She is not perfect in her making, nor as am I. She looks as though she is falling apart at the seams, in some areas, and like only threads may be holding her together in others. Down to the core, there are many times I feel that same way. I have drawn on my tattoos to mark her body the same way as my own. And I even have 2 pink C-section scars and 1 blue for each of my children. The point here, is just how personal you can make these and the more personal the better they are for symbolizing and representing yourself. Ultimately, these are used to focus our energy. For example: maybe, I am focusing on mending a broken heart. So I write out my intentions and I pin it to the heart of my doll to focus my energy to that space. In addition, I add to her pocket, gemstones that bring love and peaceful energy as well as the Love Herbal Blend. These dolls are, again, a tool to help us focus and direct energy and they are very valuable when used correctly. Now, I have another doll that I use for other people. This doll is more generic in its design but I can personalize its pocket with something personal of that person for things like healing. Hollywood has shown these dolls primarily for evil for many years, giving them a bad rap. The truth is that the magick they contain comes from the practitioner directing it. As always, please use caution with any sprays, salves or anything containing herbs, herbal extracts or essential oils.

Our Yule Charm Ornament is availbale in our Cynnamon Charmed Shop HERE. These are clear glass ornaments that are 1 1/2" diameter. This listing is for one ornament. Each glass ball was opened up and we put our Yule Herbal Blend inside. We then added pieces of cinnamon sticks, a few carnelian stone chips, frankincense resin, the Algiz rune for protection.

Because of the time of its peak, the best time to see her would be late tonight, November 3, 2017. I refer to this moon as the Snow Moon in my tradition. However, there are other names given to it. The Native Indians called it the Beaver Moon. This is because this was the moon within the month when they would set their traps to catch beaver. Others called this the Frost Moon, Hunter’s Moon, etc. I would say that most of these names were given to associate the colonist’s seasonal activities that they performed. I am sure that hunting, feasting and preparing for the frosts that have come or were on the way was very critical this time of year. I use the Snow Moon because where I live; it isn’t too uncommon to see our first snow within the next lunar cycle. The Moon will be in Taurus this month and I don’t know about you but I have been much more sensitive and emotional these past few days. I credit that to this moon and its association to Neptune. This moon is also going to be influenced by Venus. SO this may be a good month to do some workings on love, relationships, emotional issues, etc. In general Full Moons in Taurus are a great time for workings on love, money, real estate, material possessions. It’s a month of renewal. I see it as a great time to review old plans that may not be working and make some changes for the future to put into place. In areas of love with an established relationship, try going out on a date somewhere completely new and unknown. Our Love Herbal Blend is handy to have to include in workings influenced by Venus.

I am taking today to do some Charmed updates and information about whats going on at Cynnamon Charmed.
Today I posted a new video on the Cynnamon Charmed Facebook page to make a transition from Samhain into Yule. I understand that it is not Yule season yet BUT it is important to change gears "shop wise" and get you all up to date on what we will be offering for that season and what I am working on bringing you over the next couple months. I am working hard ahead of every season to bring new products. SO click HERE to view that video. Next, I have been getting many requests and filling lots of CUSTOM orders. Because of this, I have decided to add a Custom Dream Pillow listing to our shop. It"s in the "Dream Pillow" section. If you are interested, message me and we can discuss fabric options and also herb options. This option is available for the small or the premium pillows. Our Voodoo/ Poppet dolls have also been getting popular. I have done some custom work with those as well. There is only one available right now in the shop because of the unexpected increase in those sales. However, I AM working hard to get more in the shop soon. So, keep an eye on the "Voodoo/ Poppet Doll" section of the shop for those listings and remember every doll is made unique and they may not be available for long. I also would like to remind everyone that we ship USPS and you do get a tracking number. We have flat rate $5 shipping. To date, I have shipped EVERY single order made at Cynnamon Charmed within a 24 hours period. Our shipping method also gets your packages to you in 3 business days. So every order to date has went from payment to the customers hands within 5 business days. I am very proud of that record. However, that is on in stock product. Custom orders may take longer to process and I will let you know the estimated shipping date when we discuss your order. Looking ahead.....keep an eye out for our next giveaway. It will be a Yule product, either a herbal blend or a smudge. I haven't decided yet. It will begin towards the end of the month of November. ALSO around that time we will be offering a BIG sales weekend. Don't forget to check for that information on the Facebook page, here or at the Shop. It will run between 11/23-11/27 and I want our followers to be the first to know. It may even be in the form of a promo code available only to you guys!!! Thank you all for your continuous support of Cynnamon Charmed! ~Blessed Be~ |
