Trouble/
Worry Dolls
This link has a cool presentation of the story of these little guys from a Mayan perspective:
These dolls illustrate a very basic premise of transference magick. (Transference magick is where someone puts something inside of them into something or someone outside of them.)
IT IS A SEVERE VIOLATION OF ETHICS TO PRACTICE THIS SORT OF MAGICK UPON ANOTHER PERSON...REMEMBER:
DO NO HARM
This is why I like trouble dolls. You can tell them your problems and they can carry your worries for you. Remember, though, that once you've placed that energy into these objects, they keep it. You know, science and all that...'energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only change form.' So, if you plan to use them more than once, you'll have to cleanse them of that negative energy.
So, if you're having trouble sleeping because you have too many worries, you can either go get these little guys (I know I've seen them at Mexicali Blues) or you can make your own little dolls. Tell them what's wrong and put them under your pillow so they can do their magick for you.
Sweet Dreams.
