Books: Happy Birthday to Poppets & Magical Dolls!

This month I'm celebrating the eighth birthday of my book Pagan Portals - Poppets and Magical Dolls. It's well on the way to becoming a Moon Books best-seller. At the moment, it only needs to sell another 48 copies to reach the milestone figure of 5,000 copies sold. I'm hopeful it will do that very soon. A big thanks to everyone who has bought a copy, left a review, and told me they've enjoyed reading it. Here's the description from the back cover: 

Poppets are dolls used for sympathetic magic, and are designed in the likeness of individuals in order to represent them in spells to help, heal or harm. Pagan Portals – Poppets and Magical Dolls explores the history of poppets and offers a practical guide to making and using them in modern witchcraft. It also covers seasonal dolls, from Brigid dolls, used in celebrations for the first stirrings of spring, to fairy dolls enjoyed in tree-dressing at Yuletide.
