Corn Dolly in Purple Corn Husk.

Corn husk dolls are rooted in Native American folklore and have a rich tradition in early American history. These dolls, traditionally made from the dried leaves or husks of corn, carry significant cultural and symbolic meanings.
    When European settlers arrived in North America, they adopted the practice of making corn husk dolls from Native Americans. These dolls became popular among early American pioneer families, particularly because corn husks were readily available and inexpensive.
•Function and Play: Corn husk dolls were primarily toys for children. They were simple to make and could be created in various forms, such as human figures or animals.
•Harvest Celebrations: They were also used as decorations during harvest festivals, symbolizing the bounty of the corn harvest.
Symbolism
•Humility: The faceless design of traditional corn husk dolls serves as a lesson in humility and a reminder of the importance of focusing on others rather than oneself.
•Connection to Nature: These dolls underscore the close relationship between humans and nature, reflecting gratitude for the resources provided by the earth.
Corn husk dolls continue to be made today, often as a craft project that teaches about history, culture, and the importance of using natural materials.
These dolls have been inspired by those ancient traditions and beliefs and re purposed for the modern day. Perfect for Altar decoration to celebrate and honour the Harvests and the turning of the wheel, or as poppets for all sorts of spell work and sympathetic magick.
