The doll as a powerful symbol

As women, we need reminders of this deep dimension of ourselves. In a world that is shouting at us, how do we find space to hear that soft, quiet knowing voice?

 

The doll has long been a powerful symbol woven into our cultural and historical fabric. While modern society often associates dolls with childhood play—such as the iconic Barbie phenomenon that captured the imagination of millions—ancient cultures imbued dolls with deeper, spiritual significance. In Greek tradition, women would consecrate their dolls to goddesses upon marriage, marking a profound rite of passage. Archeological discoveries reveal small, portable goddess figures from Paleolithic and Neolithic cultures, designed to be carried close to the body as sources of spiritual connection. Dolls have also served sacred purposes, symbolizing those who have passed or acting as vessels of energy and meaning.
