The Spiritual Magic of Dolls

If you’ve sensed the magic within your dolls but never fully understood it, Najah becomes your trusted guide, unveiling how dolls can become powerful partners in your spiritual and magical practices.” —Madame Pamita, author of Magical Tarot
 
Dolls have been both beloved companions and instruments of magic for millennia. In The Spiritual Magic of Dolls, author Najah Lightfoot bridges these two uses—companionship and magic—to enable readers to develop profound magical and spiritual relationships with their own dolls. Many have beloved dolls displayed on shelves or sitting in boxes. Perhaps you still have favorite childhood dolls or have been gifted with a doll or inherited one from a relative or friend. What if you could do more with them? Najah shows you how. 
 
The Spiritual Magic of Dolls teaches you how to take that attachment to the next level, to be closer to them in magical, loving ways.
