New Orleans Ju Ju Dolls by Creole Moon
Handcrafted by Denise Alvarado, Author and Ritual Folk Artist

Ju Ju dolls are commonly sought for their good luck and protection properties. The term "ju ju" refers to an object, in this case a doll, that has been blessed and functions to keep evil and negativity away. Sometimes Ju Ju dolls are referred to as guardians because they are used to protect the home from negativity.

Ju Ju dolls are usually created like poppets, then adorned with colorful yarn, good luck charms, and gris gris, and filled with magickal ingredients to bring positive blessings to their possessor. Ju Ju dolls can be hung above the doorway in your home to keep away evil and negative energy.

The Ju Ju Doll is one of the oldest styles of Voodoo dolls in the history of New Orleans Voodoo. The last elder to make these dolls was in her nineties and she retired nearly two decades ago as she was unable to physically continue making them. Sadly, no one in her family was interested in learning the craft so this fabulous and important piece of Louisiana Voodoo folk art almost stopped with her. Help keep this tradition alive by purchasing a Ju Ju Doll today!
