Sunshine, hello. As has been stated, poppets have been used for millenia and are still very popular today. You asked why the usage of dolls. The answer to that is that a doll is probably the best representation of a human being. In sympathetic magic what is done to the poppet manifests in the target. You feel or believe, apparently, that some kind of working was done on you last year. My advice would be to find out via divination if this actually happened. Why would somebody want to do this to you? Who did you upset enough to warrant someone doing this to you? Who do you know that is knowledgeable enough to work a hex (or some kind of negative spell) on you? Before "sending" stuff back I would determine if anything NEEDS to be sent back. Often people think they're cursed or have had negative magic worked on them when in fact they haven't - it's just life giving us a hard time.
