The Spirit Doll comes to you with a length of 25 cm and a weight of 820 g, safely packaged in self-recycled padding material.
Have you ever longed for a companion who wanders between the worlds—a guardian who whispers the language of the ancestors to you? This Spirit Doll “The Wise One” is more than a doll: She is a soul doll, created from clay mounted on burl wood, adorned with a key, beads, and wool, and imbued with the magic of traditional smoke-burning art. A tool for ancestral work, healing, and dialogue with the unseen.
The way in detail:
– Root wood body: Naturally grown, with all the twists and turns of the earth. The root wood symbolizes connection – to the ancestors, to nature, and to your own deepest roots.
– Traditional smoke-fire art: The surface of the doll is decorated with smoky patterns and traces of ash – each piece is unique and carries the story of fire within it.
– Key: Attached to her robe, it represents the opening of hidden knowledge and access to forgotten memories.
– Pearls & Wool: Pearls (symbol of life cycles) and wool threads (softness, protection) adorn her body – as if she had the gift of transforming tears into strength.
Why this Spirit Doll?
Healing presence: Place it on your altar to energetically cleanse spaces or as a focus for prayers and meditations.
Ancestral work: Use her as a mediator to receive messages from ancestors or to heal unresolved family histories.
Spiritual tool: The combination of root wood, smoke burn and symbols makes it a bridge between the worlds – gentle, yet powerful.
For your practice:
Ritual Companion: Place her in the north of your altar (symbol of ancestors) and place small offerings (herbs, stones) at her feet.
Meditation anchor: Hold the doll in your hands and ask: “What does my ancestral line want to reveal to me today?”
Healing Doll: Use it in shadow work to make old wounds visible and keep them in loving presence.
Symbolism & Crafts:
– The Root: It reminds you: “Even in secret, the source nourishes us.”
– Smoke burn patterns: Like scars, they tell of transformation and the beauty of imperfection.
– Key: It calls you to courageously open doors that have been closed for a long time.
Handmade with intention
I create each spirit doll in dialogue with the material. This spirit doll symbolizes wounds that become home—the swaddled child symbolizes your fragile hope.
May it give you support when the world shakes – and remind you that even in the darkness a spark of love continues to glow.
I am happy to implement commissioned work or your own ideas for a special piece, if it is compatible with my way of working.

Though there are many enchanting figures offered in this shop, this bear figure at once called my attention. As with all one-of-a-kind pieces, I felt a bit of anxiety — as if the item in question would be lost to me if I did not obtain it then and there. This piece is larger and heavier than I imagined. The shape of the figure, though unique to my eye, calls back to works of the ancient past. The bear is a special being to me, and I am happy I was able to add this piece to my sacred space. She will definitely have a permanent place watching over my inward journeys. I look forward to revisiting this shop someday, and I highly recommend Michaela’s delightful offerings.

Ever since I first saw the Lion Man, I’ve been fascinated by him. I think sculpting a man and a woman is a brilliant idea. They’re both heavy and sturdy, but the construction and the smoke firing make them look like they’re made of bone. I enjoy them every day.
that the two of them are with me.
