Discover the art of magical figures.
On Pins and Needles is a hands-on guide to crafting, empowering, and deploying poppets for real results. This book is rooted in tradition, enriched by personal practice, and designed to empower any witch's craft.
On Pins and Needles is a practical, grounded guide to the powerful magic of poppets and dolls. Blending deep traditional roots with insights from years of personal work, Kamden Cornell offers a thorough exploration of the creation, empowerment, and use of magical figures across a wide range of practices.
Inside the book, you'll find overviews of materia, construction methods, activation techniques, and deployment strategies--everything needed to bring these magical constructs to life with purpose and precision. The author shares not only time-tested practices but also original charms and workings, many of which appear here for the first time, providing readers with fresh tools to add to their craft.
Whether you are new to doll magic or seeking to deepen an existing practice,
On Pins and Needles serves as both a complete workbook and an inspiring source of ideas. Each page invites you to view effigies and simulacra not simply as vessels of intent but as living participants in your magical work.
Rooted in traditional frameworks while offering a contemporary, flexible approach, this book supports practitioners across different paths, including witchcraft, folk magic, ceremonial practice, and beyond. Through careful instruction and practical wisdom, it opens the door to a richer, more dynamic relationship with the figures you create and the forces you call upon.
