Do I have a fun book for you today! I got an advance copy of \u201cDollcraft: A Witch\u2019s Guide to Poppet Magick & Haunted Dolls\u201d by Patti Negri and let me tell you, I have feelings! Do you guys want to go on my thoughts and feelings rollercoaster? Too bad, here we go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

First, are we in our doll magic era? I hope so. We started seeing more books about folk magic (and I ain\u2019t complaining), now we have \u201cDollcraft\u201d from Patti Negri, and if I\u2019m not mistaken, Najah Lightfoot has a new book about doll magic coming soon. And to all of this I say, hell yes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, I\u2019m back on my paranormal kick! It has been SO LONG since I\u2019ve read or interacted with any paranormal media and now I realize how much I missed it. The first part of \u201cDollcraft\u201d is all about haunted dolls. Negri\u2019s writing on the subject is the perfect blend of respectful and whimsical. She discusses haunted dolls throughout history and cultures, notable haunted dolls, the ethics of haunted dolls, and attempting to create your own. Did you know people sell haunted dolls? I hadn\u2019t realized, but I know about it now! Negri could have turned all this into its own book, and if she does in the future, I\u2019ll want to read it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, I AM INSPIRED! The rest of \u201cDollcraft\u201d is devoted to poppets and now that I\u2019ve read it, I want to go crazy creating! What are poppets? How do you create poppets? How do you effectively use poppets? Negri answers all these questions and offers a dizzying number of options. Edible, biodegradable, simple, complex, plants, minerals, thread types, spells to use, options for keeping and\/or displaying, etc. SO. MANY. IDEAS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDollcraft\u201d by Patti Negri was a wonderful read that will certainly be influencing me for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
