Backwoods Witchcraft

In Backwoods Witchcraft, Jake Richards serves up a pot of family stories, lore, omens, rituals, and conjure crafts from Appalachia, much of it learned from his ancestors, including a Baptist minister grandfather who could reportedly stop a fever with an egg.

This is folk magic of place: it honors the spirits of the land along with the soil, roots, and plants, and it uses materials you can actually find around you. You'll learn how to build relationships with the beings that share your space, set up a working altar, and make conjure oils and powders, plus tried-and-true formulas for money, spiritual cleansing, and more. Useful whether your backwoods is the Blue Ridge or a Savannah backyard.
