So I pay attention to themes or messages In my life, or at least I try to. And currently, I’ve been noticing a lot of references to Appalachian or folk magic. I’m wondering if anyone knows anything about this type of magic or practices more folk magic? If anyone can give me some good resources or is interested in talking about it, let me know!

staubs and ditchwater by byron ballard is a good place to start, i just bought backwoods witchcraft and appalachian folklore omens, signs, and superstitions :) I can post about how i liked those some other time.
but usually the best sources of information are people who already know those kinds of things, idk if you're in appalachia or not (i was raised there and grew up hearing "wives tales" which i believe is some form of witchcraft), but if you can talk to someone older who has these weird sayings or superstitions, you'll really learn a lot
Hello Kali! I just saw Grace posted something on this topic under books and resources. The title of the post is Backwoods Witchcraft! Happy reading :)
