Guatemalan
Worry dolls In the rural regions of Guatemala, Central America, weaving cloth has been a major occupation since the time of the Ancient Maya. And wherever fabric has been manufactured, there have always been off-cuts and scraps; so just as some cultures devised 'mojo' bags from leftover material used for clothing, so did the Mayans make small 'magical' bags out of their throw-away cloth. But instead of the usual fetishes or charms, these bags contained six small dolls made from tiny splinters of wood and bits of cloth. So-called because they were used to ease worries or fears, the tradition of making 'Worry Dolls' remains to the present day.
How do Worry Dolls Work?
When a child is worried or frightened, their parents present them with a bag, or sometimes a tiny colorfully painted wooden box, of six Worry Dolls. The child is given one doll each night for six nights and instructed to tell their worries to the doll, place the doll under their pillow and go to sleep. The next morning when the child wakes, they find that the doll has gone from under their pillow, taking their worries with it.
Benefits of Worry Dolls
Worry Dolls can be particularly useful in easing the troubles of hospitalized children - especially those awaiting surgery or having oncology treatments. But it is not only children who can benefit from Worry Dolls, adults with insomnia or anxieties have been known to use the dolls to good effect as well. After the six dolls have been used over six nights, all worries should be gone!
