do you know what significance a 'poppet' would have in RA? specifically an english group that follows a mix of theistic satanist and celtic pagan views? a close relative of mine who is in the group consistently calls me 'poppet' instead of my name, and while it is a term of endearment here, it's not commonly used and no one else calls me it. hearing the name makes me dissociate and sometimes triggered. i know organised abusers often use words with double meanings, so i decided to google it and i found out that a poppet is a sort of doll used in witchcraft? i wanted to ask if you knew anything about poppets in RA and why i might be addressed in this way?
Poppets are used in doll programming.
Doll Programming-There are various types of doll programming. This is due to the number of types of dolls that are made and have been made. Some of the dolls used in doll programming are: Marionette, Barbie, Porcelain, Kewpie and Reborn.
Dolls are also given to children to self soothe during programming. The doll is then taken and destroyed in front of the child. It is used as a method to teach the child to not attach or find comfort in outside things.
Doll programming is used first to control the survivor. It is also used to manipulate an alters self image.
Type 2 Doll Programming-The alter can assume the ‘role’ of the doll. The programmer will place the doll in positions and have the alter ‘abuse’ the doll. The alter is trained to assume the same positions so they can be abused. (Beta Programming)
Type 3 Doll Programming-The alter is given a doll that is made to look like them. The alter is taught to project their feelings onto the doll. Due to the doll looking like the alter they are projecting onto themselves.
Poppet Doll Programming-The programmer is instructed to concentrate on all the evil that can possibly be directed at the child. They will vent their anger and frustration at the ‘doll’ until the time comes to give the part a name. The ritual abuse of the doll/part will then begin.
