About this episode

Najah Lightfoot discusses the spiritual and cultural significance of dolls, exploring their evolution from cherished companions to objects of fear.

Najah Lightfoot joins us to explore the fascinating and often misunderstood world of dolls through the lens of her book The Spiritual Magic of Dolls. We dig into why dolls have such a powerful presence across cultures and history, and how they’ve gone from cherished companions to objects of fear in modern times. Najah shares her personal connection to dolls, how Hollywood has shaped our perceptions, and how can carry emotional and environmental imprints from the people and places they’ve been part of. It’s a conversation that challenges assumptions and opens up a much more nuanced view of these familiar figures. Along the way, we get into the big questions. Can dolls be haunted? Do they really move or communicate in subtle ways? And what does it actually mean to work with a doll in a magical or spiritual context? Whether you’re skeptical, curious, or already a believer, this episode delivers a compelling mix of folklore, personal experience, and practical insight that will leave you looking at dolls in a completely different way.
