Now that I live in the Deep South, I thought I would find some interesting information and post it here. Luckily, I found this wonderful advice, and while some doesn’t make sense, it’s interesting to read.
Southern Folk Magic
I’ve already posted about how you should paint your mailbox yellow and your porch haint blue, but I wanted to share some Southern folk beliefs that I’ve heard throughout my life. By no means exhaustive, will hopefully add more later.
Speak your sorrows to a weeping willow. The breeze in the branches will make it whisper them away.
Willow bark is also good for inflammation remedies.
Never gift someone a knife or scissors lest it cause a deep cut between the two of you.
Plant your garden on Good Friday.
Plant lavender by the front door.
For remembered dreams, put a mugwort leaf in your pillowcase
To tell the gender of a baby, use a needle and thread pendulum over the pregnant woman’s stomach. Up and down is a boy. Side to side is a girl.
Only fertilize watermelon on the side where the dirt is highest.
Keep reading

Spiciness is super important for healing because it clears the sinuses 👏 onion, peppers, strong garlic, even nutmeg, are great additions to broths and/or your preferred hot beverage
I have a fun little discussion topic. What superstition or tiny rule are you ride or die for? For me i am a STICKLER to clockwise to create counterclockwise to destroy in my own practice

It's appalling how there are so many people who want to take up folk magic while also being classist and spreading harmful stereotypes about the people from the region said folk magic comes from.

Here is the prayer for anyone interested. It’s not technically a novena. But I am praying it like one (for 9 days in a row). 🩷🙏

Please read Mountain Magic by Rebecca Beyer
I was on a break from social media when I read this one, so this isn't a full review, but I highly, highly recommend this book to anyone interested in Appalachian folk magic. This is especially relevant to Southern Appalachian lore since Beyer lives in North Carolina.
I loved Beyer's first book, Wild Witchcraft, and with this one, I think she's officially become one of my favorite authors. This is a very thorough collection of folklore and practice for how short it is, and it's organized in a way that is easier for my ADHD brain to follow than some other authors.
I also have to gush about the illustrations. Both of Beyer's books are beautifully illustrated, but I think the art in this one is especially incredible. It's worth having a physical copy for the info alone, but the gorgeous art really makes this a book I want to display in my home.
Finally, I've found Beyer really helpful as an example of combining a pagan religious worldview with a Christian folk magic tradition. Her first book is very much pagan, with info on the God and Goddess and the Wheel of the Year. In this book, she talks about how Christianity has always been at the core of Appalachian folk magic and doesn't try to "paganize" the practice, while also leaving room for readers to bring their own beliefs to the table and explore what feels comfortable for them. This book did not feel preachy in the way some books on American folk magic do.
But yeah, this is just a really fantastic book, and I absolutely think every folk witch needs a copy of it on their shelf!

Sharing Is Caring 😊
Hello fellow seekers! For the past year, I have been guiding a small group in my local area on a deep exploration of the elements. Our group combines some teaching and a lot of self-study. Currently, we are delving into the element of Fire. This past weekend, I hosted a small gathering focused around candle magick with my group and I would like to share some of the basic info I covered with all of you here in Tumblr world. Please keep in mind that the info I am offering is derived from my own personal experience and practice, and within my practice practicality, simplicity, and efficiency hold great value, and I strive to embody these principles in my everyday magick. Anyway, feel free to take what resonates and leave the rest. Now, get out there and be magickal AF!

Bible magic and divination ♡
~Sleep with a bible under your pillow to avoid nightmares
~Keep bible open to David's psalm at the front door to keep roaming haints out
~To get an answer for a question to God, close your eyes and flip through the pages. Stop your finger at a verse that you feel God is drawing you to.
~Write down psalm 23 on a piece of paper to carry with you to protect from lightening, rheumatism, bad luck, and harm.
~Take the bible to a crossroad or outside on a windy day, let God blow the wind to a verse and read it.
~For arthritis or other ailments of the bones, take some lard or oil and rub it over the aching place while reciting Proverbs 16:24 or the Lord’s Prayer.
~For pain in the body, the place is rubbed “to the left”, while saying “Tame thou flesh and bone, like Christ in Paradise” seven times.
~Keep photos of loved ones in your bible to keep them safe and out of trouble.
