Extra | Voodoo and Poppet Dolls, A History Of | True Scary Stories

Today's extra episode is all about Voodoo dolls and Poppets. We've got a long introduction where we delve into the history of effigies, and sympathetic magic, and one true scary story.

I also want to apologise, again, it turns out I have COVID so I have a head like a ball of cotton wool... Hopefully my brain will be working better next week.
