Hello Sunshine,
Yes, there are many kinds of magic. To name a few - there is candle magic, herbal magic, sigil magic, witch bottle magic, other conatainer magics, knot magic and so on. Personal objects help to "connect" with the practitioner's target. The practitioner might not be working doll (or poppet) magic they could be working a honey jar to sweeten someone's disposition towards them and put the target's hair into the jar along with the herbs, honey or sugar. Also, if a practitioner is doing healing magic the target's personal concerns will help.
