📷 In the doll Kingdom

What have you heard about the ritual dolls? Did you know that in the old days, with the help of dolls, our ancestors sought to defeat the evil principle in themselves-hence its anthromorphic image-a human double.

On the other hand, such a doll could represent an ideal that a person should strive for. However, there were some: -)

in traditional culture, the doll was at the center of many rituals, acting as a mediator in the relationship of man with the natural world, the world of the gods and the world of ancestors.

Of course, ritual dolls can not be considered a child's toy. After all, the traditional rag doll, both ritual and Bereginya, is faceless. The face, as a rule, was not marked, but remained white.

In the villages, this was explained simply by the inability to paint a beautiful face, and there were no such colors. But the meaning is much deeper. A doll without a face was considered an inanimate object, inaccessible to evil forces.

Today dolls are different, and some masters have learned to make them even from socks or stockings : -)

I saw such dolls at the last fair. In recent years, craftsmen make them from jute, textiles and even straw...

Perhaps some of you have made them yourself once?

I hope you would like such Souvenirs as well?
