Taking Your Cares Away
Worry dolls are from Guatemala, and are used to help people (especially children) shed their anxieties. As folklore explains, by telling one worry to a worry doll, and place it under your pillow before you go to bed, the doll will take that worry from you, leaving you to rest peacefully. Worry dolls date back to Mayan traditions of using amulets.
