You keep worry dolls near your bed or under your pillow. Every night before you go to sleep, you tell them your worries. They take away your worry. You never dispose of the worry doll. You keep the worry dolls. Their job is to take your worries away.

Re: Worry Dolls
Thanks so much I could have sworn the package said or something else said dipose of them. How long do you keep them forever? Is each seperate worry doll for a seperate worry? Can you reuse them? Do you tell them your worries as a group? Help I think I really screwed up on the use and how do you phrase the worries All Input needed

Yeah, you keep them forever. You don't separate worry dolls. They are a group. Usually, they are so small you can't take them apart. I have Peruvian ones in a box. I can hold the box in my hand and tell them my worries, then go to sleep. There is no phaselogy for worry dolls. You just tell them your worries. It's not that complex.

Did you throw out your worry dolls?Sharona22 wrote:The ones in LM come in alittle bag of sorts I guess I will reorder,thanks for the clarification
The ones Lucky Mojo sell come in a bag that is not suppose to be opened. You hold the little bag and tell the worry dolls your worries and you go to sleep. You do this whenever you need to.

Re: Worry Dolls
What is the history brhind them? How often can you tell them worries? You always keep them under pillow?
Re: Worry Dolls
What will happen if I broke up the set took them out of the bag and threw the ones I used out I did dispose of them in running water even though I know now I should not have ? Please reply soon
Re: Worry Dolls
Can you all let me know specifically if I am now doing the worry dolls right i tell them my worry enclosed in the bag and keep them under my pillow all the time? Do I keep up with the same worry till fixed?? Then can I use new worry? Can I use 2 sets for 2 different issues or can I use 2 sets to make them stronger.

I am going to answer all your questions in one post.
Worry Dolls are traced back to Guatemala, but they have sprung up all over Latin America. I have a Peruvian set from my uncle. They were originally given to children to help them with nightmares. Tell the little worry dolls your worries and they will spirit them away.
I don't think you will have a problem if you took your worry dolls apart, but you might want to buy a new set and keep them together. They would be more affective that way. They are a bit of a novelty item and not specific to Hoodoo, so I think you are safe in keeping the incomplete set. If you feel the need to, you can give them a proper burial in your front yard.
When you get your new worry dolls, keep them in their bag and just tell them your worries each night before you go to sleep. They take all your worries and do not keep a running tab of them. If you still have your worry the next day, tell the worry to the dolls again before you go to sleep. There is no limit on a worry.
I hope that helps.

Re: Worry Dolls
This helped totally thanks It was also interesting about the novelty I am guessing that sometimes if you believe hard enough it might just happen as with takeing your worries away.
Re: Worry Dolls

Re: Worry Dolls
That's cool! I never heard about this worry doll..where can I get it? There's no one selling it in my home country...

Re: Worry Dolls
Worry dolls are very popular in children's hospitals. They're not commonly used by adults.

Re: Worry Dolls
My grandmother always had worry dolls around, and most of my adult relatives had them too.

Re: Worry Dolls
hmm...i've learned something new again tonight. So mojo is not suppose to be seen or touched by any other individual. May I ask if adults are suitable for worry dolls too?
Re: Worry Dolls
Even as the worry dolls were intended for children, an adult can benefit as well.

Re: Worry Dolls
I've already gotten the green light from my lady boss to order some on the next list..
but..can they really take away adults' worries too? I believe children worries are easier to take away but adults' worries sounds heavier..

Re: Worry Dolls
I was curious, has anyone ever made/used a worry doll as a substitute poppet? That is to say, making the worry doll in the likeness of an intended target and using them in things like mirror boxes or other target-based work. Any thoughts?

Re: Worry Dolls
I've got some of these, but I bought them as a souvenir when I went to Guatemala for holidays. The link that KhonsuMes gave you explains really well what they're used for:bell22 wrote:That's cool!

In my opinion, the meaning is simply beautiful...When a child in the family are worried or frightened of things or events, the parents present him or her with a bag of Worry Dolls. The child is given one Worry Doll each night and instructed to tell one trouble or fear to the doll, then to place the doll under the pillow and go to sleep. The next morning the when the child wakes up, the Worry Doll is gone from the bed, taking that worry with it.

worry dolls
It has been awhile since my last visit here but if i recall, LM carrys Worry Dolls I'll have to browse through the Items in the online store but I'm pretty excited to have them once again, when I get around to ordering some things I just can't find in santa cruz.
I had them as a child and they really worked!
thanks and blessings

Re: worry dolls
Ah~ i just read about them in the online shop. They are the sweetest little items to give as gifts! even for my adult friends...can't wait till X-mass
I'm so glad LM carries these 
Re: Worry Dolls
I was told these dolls are called 'Memory Dolls'.
You keep one under your bed as you travel, and place the other ones in locations you wish to create a firm memory of and when you return home from your travels, you will have the one under your pillow to remember the others and their location/memory...
Is this completely false? Is there something along the lines of this?

Re: Worry Dolls
Hello, dthomas,
I went to Peru and they had these dolls everywhere.
In most parts of Peru, they were considered worry dolls and the instructions are the exact same as Lucky Mojo describes.
In some areas of Peru, I was told that you put them under your pillow and if you have a nightmare, you bury the doll (which will take the curse of the nightmare away).
But I have never heard of memory dolls. This is new information.
It could be the case that some areas of the world believe this but I am not aware of it.
So, thank you for sharing this information!
Wishing you the best

Weird way to use worry dolls?
I learnt that worry dolls are used for people who have big worries and they are supposed to worry instead of that person. Thus, worry goes away. So can worry dolls or some kind of other doll can be used for a sick person to be sick instead of him/her so, he/she will be cured? I know it's kind of a weird question but it bugs my head lately.

Hi faxtrivia,
Yes of course you could use worry dolls for a sick person. When we're sick, we worry, so it is appropriate.
Good luck.

But will it make the sick person better in terms of health? Also can I still use them if the sick person is not in the same city as I am?
