Midsommar Maj Drottning Docka / Dani May Queen Harvest Doll MADE TO ORDER

Harvest dolls & poppets can be used as an archetype for any Solstice altar to represent fertility & the harvest. In some cultures, they are often made in the image of someone/something else & used for protection. These Swedish dockas or “dolls” have much cultural significance, especially amongst Pagans & are especially inspired by the characters & archetypes in the movie, Midsommar by Ari Aster, which focuses on a specific Swedish Pagan Cult.

MAJ DROTTNING DOCKA: The docka (Swedish for “doll” or “poppet”) is based on Dani’s character & her transition into becoming the Maj drottning (Swedish for “May Queen”). Doused in a gown of floras & an extraordinarily large flower crown, she is overcome with self-realization & realization of the natural world, & becomes the maiden that ushers the sun to its highest peak, the erection of the trees, & blossoming of the flowers. The May Queen in many cultures represents growth, fertility, vitality, & youthfulness. In some European traditions, she represents the Fairy Queen from the realm of the Fae.

This doll is created in the dramatic Midsommar image & is made with locally sourced corn husks & covered in natural dried moss & flowers. Atop her head is a giant flower crown also covered is natural dried moss & flowers.

Measuring about 10” tall.
