Cat Spirit Doll
Inspired by the late, great Niko (my black cat) and the ancient Egyptian goddess Bastet, I’ve made this little cat poppet to protect the home. As anyone who knew Niko will attest, she was fiercely protective of her domain. The ancient Egyptian goddess Bastet was associated with the protection of the home, especially from evil spirits and disease.
Traditionally, poppets are made with herbs and no features. However, I decided this poppet would look nice with big gold eyes, which I’ve hand-embroidered using gold thread. A string of hematite and moonstone beads have been sown around her neck. A protective prayer to Bastet has been included inside. A small collar with a button also adorns her neck. The fabric is seersucker Japanese cotton.
As this is a handmade item each one will be slightly different.
Only 3 available at the moment as the quality of the fabric used to make the item is hard to come by.
Delivery 2 to 3 weeks.
