Awesome Idea about the seeds. On a side note, the definition of the word poppet made me laugh because my first boyfriend used to call me poppet. LOL (we were the same age too)

Hi Rachel, a short simple answer; yes. LOL
The poppet is a UK thing and I was taught our way of doing it, but I have tried it the Toby way, and it certainly felt good.
As for adding herbs to the dough, it works for bread and pizza dough, so why not for our little poppet?
One thing that may be worth a shot would be adding seeds, so as the doll breaks down in the earth the plants grow, adding strength or permanence to the spell. I think I feel a spell coming on ;-)

I'm late to this discussion, but better late than never! I have a few questions:

Do we wake the doll babies in the same manner that we wake our tobys? Only by addressing the baby by the "target's" name instead of referring to it as "toby"?

Also, would it be feasible to work in certain herbs or roots along with the Personal Concerns?

I guess what I'm really wondering is if we treat these baked dough babies in the same manner as their cloth counterparts? Logic is telling me yes, but this is a new technique for me, so I want to be certain that I get the facts and how-to's straight before I try anything!

What a good idea, I was thinking of the tide line on a beach but it would have to be a deep hole to stop it being found, but at least there are lots of people digging on beaches. But the mud idea is good, gotta try it.
