Guatemalan Skull Worry Dolls
These handmade Guatemalan Skull Worry Dolls capture the spirit of El Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), a vibrant celebration where Guatemalans honour and remember loved ones who have passed. While the skull worry dolls may seem macabre at first glance, they are powerful symbols—reminding us of those we’ve lost and representing the enduring cycle of life and death.
According to Maya belief, life and death form an unending cycle. As the body returns to the earth, the soul journeys for four to five years to Xibalba, the underworld. Eventually, the spirit returns to the world through the first breath of a newborn, beginning life anew.
Traditional stories tell that the Mayan people of Guatemala would confide their worries to these small dolls, placing them under their pillows before sleep. By morning, the dolls were believed to have carried away their troubles. For anyone seeking comfort or a gentle way to share their thoughts and worries, this worry doll provides quiet companionship and reassurance. Whether attracted by the unique design or the meaningful tradition of honouring ancestors, this Guatemalan doll makes a thoughtful and heartfelt companion.
Each Skull Worry Doll comes on a display card and is randomly selected.

DIY Poppet Kit
$29.95A poppet is a physical doll or effigy crafted to represent an individual, with the intention of influencing them through sympathetic magick. According to the principle that "like affects like," actions performed on the poppet are believed to be transferred to the person it symbolises. Cloth is among the most frequently used materials for constructing poppets, which are typically filled with herbs selected for specific intentions. Common ritual purposes include love, protection, healing, binding, and banishing. For healing, the poppet may be filled with herbs such as rosemary or mugwort, as well as crystals like clear quartz, which is often referred to as the master healer. For protection, poppets are similarly filled with herbs and placed in secure locations, often surrounded by protective symbols or within a magickal circle to provide shielding from harm. To address harassment or gossip, practitioners may bind the doll with red string or sew its mouth shut as part of binding and banishing rituals. For love and attraction, two poppets representing a couple may be bound together face-to-face with ribbon to encourage connection. This do-it-yourself poppet kit includes materials necessary to sew and create ONE poppet, as shown (excludes needle and thread). The kit is available with either cream or vintage tea-stained calico fabric, selectable from the options provided. Price is for the complete kit as outlined in the specifications below. Specifications Description: DIY Poppet Kit (MAKES ONE POPPET) Poppet Pattern Size: H25cm x W18cm Completed Poppet Size: H23cm x W15cm Contents include: Instructions, two-piece poppet forms in calico to MAKE ONE POPPET (excludes needle and thread, and is NOT pre-sewn), two buttons, one clear quartz point crystal, one black tourmaline crystal, red string, and one 30 gram packet of herbs, sufficient to fill the poppet with some remaining for additional ritual applications, such as candle anointing.
