Backwoods Witchcraft

In this personal collection of Appalachian folk magic, author Jake Richards provides a collection of folksy family stories, lore, omens, rituals, and conjure crafts taught to him by his grandmother, great grandmother, and his grandfather.   The witchcraft practiced in Appalachia is a magic of place, a tradition that honors the seen and unseen beings that inhabit the land as well as the soil, roots, and plant life.  The tools and materials are taken from what is readily available from the land, an approach that readers from all areas of the world will benefit from. Learn how to build relationships with the spirits and other associated beings who live in the same land you all share.
