Appalachian Witchcraft for Beginners: Review

This is: Appalachian Witchcraft for Beginners: The History, Remedies, and Spells of a Rich Folk Magic Tradition by Auburn Lily

Rating: 2/10

Pros: Some information presented is correct, like the information on “ingredients” isn’t too bad if not a super small amount of them, she mentioned red clay which a lot of books seem to forget exists. And this book’s aesthetics? 10/10 for the illustration work, colors, fonts! I also appreciated the insistence that you help the land as much as possible, as well as the land’s original inhabitants and to give Indigenous voices space. 

Cons: There is so much I was so disappointed by. First off let’s get this out of the way: The author in her bio on her own website auburnlily.com claims she is a starseed. I have a LOT of personal feelings about the Starseed movement and how it damages the progress of mental health and getting help and medication for said mental disorders. But this should have been the first major red flag that this book would not be what it says on the cover.

A lot of my problems are as follows:

Most folk workers don’t use the same three or four ingredients…in this case:

Peppermint. Rose. Essential Oils. Crystals, usually citrine or black tourmaline. 

Actually we tend to not use crystals at all unless we’ve adapted them into our practice ourselves…the old folk didn’t have pretty rocks to use they got at the New Age store in the town square, alright? 

A LOT of this information is definitely tinged in a new age and modern light. The correspondences for the days of the week mentions “The Goddess” which we don’t…deal with??? At all??

Another example:

Grannies used to use the bible and ‘faith healing’ to avoid persecution from their community.

Absolutely not! She mentioned the witch trials a minimum of 6 times, which (ahaha good pun) almost made me roll my eyes into the back of my head, then I read the bible to avoid persecution part and almost burned the book on the spot.

Faith healing is NOT a cop out. 

It was the way things WERE. Were there hexers? Yes. Were they given a wide berth sometimes? Also yes. But they also had their place in the community! The hexer in my family, Flossie, was respected with some fear, but she was also the person who scorned lovers and cheated on spouses went to. When the police were hounding moonshiners a few came to her for cop go away works. 

The author also insinuates that Yarb Doctors were held in higher regard because they didn’t use faith/and or gender may have had a point in that. I dunno what yarb doctors and grannies she talked to but men were not allowed in the birthing room, that was a Granny’s responsibility and by god they did it well. You never backtalked a Granny, they were and are the backbones of their communities. 

Now that I’m off that soapbox, the author also seems to believe that meditation, third eyes, astrology in a modern way, and crystals are critical for Appalachian witchcraft which is stupidly incorrect. Her recipe for floor wash is hogwash and far too simple and small, her candle color correspondences are laughable…especially that little line on Orange: “Helps with menstrual cramps.” If that was the case no straight woman in Tennessee would get cramps because they all wear orange at least once a week for their team. 

She only uses Hoodoo like…3 times which is better than most authors so I supposed that’s progress? But the author also hates baneful work and makes mention of that fact numerous times.

The author also has quite a few love spells mentioned, and weirdly enough…a lot of her ingredients in OTHER spells are also the same ingredients in her love spells. How strange. 

My final and most damning gripe, the author seems to believe that stereotypes make for amazing offerings to the ancestors. In particular…the Irish would appreciate offerings of potatoes. You have to be kidding me.

Overall: Yet another new age witch trying to make folk magic look far more complicated and fluffy than it is. I hated this so much. I didn't even touch the "Open the healing channel" and "Reparative Visualization" "SPELLS" she includes which sounds like absolute woowoo.

❥ história

antes de 2014

quando engravidou, lily wu tinha vinte e quatro anos e uma ambição: ter uma grife para chamar de sua. seus pais imigraram ilegalmente da china para os estados unidos quando seus irmãos mais velhos ainda usavam fraldas, atrás de provar o gostinho do tal sonho americano. lily, a caçula, nasceu em solo californiano e era a única menina entre os três. enquanto seus irmãos acompanhavam a rotina de trabalho do pai em uma fábrica de embalagens, ela aprendia com a mãe tudo o que podia sobre tecidos e costura; aos quatorze anos, auxiliava a sua progenitora em seu ofício em uma loja chique de vestidos de noiva, onde passou a trabalhar oficialmente a partir dos dezesseis. 

antes de william fenmore, lily conheceu cassandra — sua noiva: foi ela quem costurou o vestido de casamento da futura senhora fenmore. lily e william tiveram um caso durante os dez meses que antecederam o seu casamento com cassandra. na época, lily não tinha ciência do seu noivado — muito menos de que ele estava noivo de uma cliente, com quem ele já tinha até filhos! mas a verdade veio à tona depois da notícia da gravidez de lily. william foi bem-sucedido em esconder o seu caso e as suas consequências de cassandra e do resto da sua família por exatos dois dias; o escândalo fez esfriar o relacionamento do casal, mas pelo bem das crianças eles decidiram seguir com o casamento, na condição de que ele seria fiel à sua esposa dali para frente. e ele foi. 

ao contrário de lily, william vinha de uma família abastada e influente. era mais velho e tinha um bom emprego no escritório de advocacia da família. quando florence nasceu, embora william não tivesse muito contato com a filha bastarda, nunca deixou que a ela algo faltasse — além, evidentemente, da presença recorrente de uma figura paterna. até mais ou menos os treze anos, seu pai era uma assinatura em cartões de aniversário e natal. apesar da ausência do seu progenitor, a menina teve uma infância relativamente boa e normal; da família por parte de mãe ela recebeu todo o amor, carinho e atenção que ela precisava e merecia. 

na escola, florence se destacava pelo seu talento na dança, mas principalmente pelas suas companhias. talvez tivesse alguma coisa a ver com o fato de ela ser uma líder de torcida e, como tal, sair com um dos caras do time de futebol, mas todo mundo sabia quem era florence wu. e, por algum motivo, todos a idolatravam, bem como suas companheiras. florence amava a atenção e amava fazer parte do time de torcida, tanto que a sua dedicação para com o esporte não passou batida pelos olheiros das universidades. o único monstro erguido entre ela e uma bolsa de estudante-atleta em alguma boa universidade era o seu desempenho acadêmico, que era péssimo. 

por parte de william, a vontade de se aproximar da sua filha bastarda surgiu de um lugar de orgulho e vaidade: precisava ter certeza de que a sua filha (que era sua filha, no fim das contas) seria tão bem-sucedida profissionalmente como os seus meio-irmãos. na sua concepção, isso significava que ela tinha direito a usufruir dos mesmos privilégios que os seus outros filhos: formaria-se em uma boa universidade, em direito, e teria um emprego no escritório de advocacia dos fenmore. na adolescência, assim, florence passou a conviver mais com o pai e a sua família. ele era, afinal, a sua chance de entrar para uma universidade — a sua chance de dar continuidade à sua carreira como líder de torcida, mesmo que ela tivesse que chegar a um fim... eventualmente. 

em 2014

florence está correndo atrás dos sonhos… do seu pai. mais alguns anos e a caçula dos fenmore se formaria advogada, a sétima da família, e ganharia uma plaquinha dourada com o seu nome gravado na porta do famigerado escritório de advocacia compartilhado entre o pai, os meio-irmãos e os primos mais próximos, em pasadena. fazia o que podia para adiar a chegada desse momento: pegava o número mínimo de matérias por período e se deixava ir muito mal nas provas dos cursos obrigatórios de propósito, só para ter que refazê-los. nessa brincadeira, florence demorou mais do que o esperado para chegar ao seu último ano. não era nem de longe e muitos menos de perto a aluna mais brilhante do campus, mas gostava de frequentar a universidade — mais pela oportunidade de socializar do que por uma necessidade latente de buscar conhecimento. não fosse o renome (e as contribuições monetárias) do pai, certamente não teria sobrevivido nem ao primeiro ano de faculdade. na época, ela andava só com três coisas na cabeça: coreografias novas para o time de torcida, opções de roupa para usar na próxima festa e o zayn da one direction. era evidente que ela se preocupava muito mais com o desempenho das suas líderes de torcida em campeonatos do que com o próprio desempenho acadêmico, pois dedicava horas e horas dos seus dias para o time, enquanto quase nada era voltado para as suas apostilas.

em 2024

com muito custo, florence se formou em ciências políticas pela ucla em 2014. no mesmo ano, não sem o auxílio (vulgo dinheiro) do pai, ingressou em uma pós-graduação em direito e se formou advogada aproximadamente três anos mais tarde. teve a sorte, ou melhor, o grande azar de ter logo de cara um emprego para chamar de seu, na firma dos fenmore. por mais que o tipo de trabalho não lhe apeteça, ela não consegue não fazê-lo bem: suas melhores qualidades brilham quando ela está em um tribunal, bem como faziam quando pisava no ginásio para treinar ou quando chegava a uma festa. o tempo a transformou em uma mulher séria, mas não menos gentil e solidária. em 2019, um de seus primos foi eleito prefeito de pasadena; não foi até o último ano do seu mandato que florence descobriu que ele e o resto dos fenmore estavam envolvidos em um esquema de corrupção e desvio de dinheiro público. florence foi convencida a não levar o caso à mídia; isso porque qualquer escândalo envolvendo a sua família poderia arruinar as suas próprias chances de ser eleita para o mesmo cargo neste ano — ideia que ela mesma tinha tido para tentar fazer algo que pudesse a satisfazer mais, mas sem comprometer os bons laços com a sua família. ela carrega esse segredo como tijolos nos bolsos, dividida (como sempre) entre fazer o certo e o que a sua família quer. 

❥ trivia

i. durante o seu tempo na ucla, além de ser capitã das líderes de torcida, florence também fazia parte do time de debate e era membro do governo estudantil. seu pai a convenceu a participar de tais atividades extracurriculares no intuito de enriquecer o seu currículo. ii. em 2024, florence é obrigada a esconder a sua paixão por música e divas pop, embora a sua obsessão fosse extremamente aparente no passado. iii. florence é uma ratinha de academia. ela se exercita por puro prazer. iv. adotou o péssimo hábito de fumar cigarros recentemente, como uma válvula de escape para todo o estresse do trabalho somado à sua campanha para as eleições, que estão mais perto do que nunca.

Happy Valentine's Day 💙 I know Steve and Katie have a long tradition of not making today that big of a deal. A glimpse into this year's activities?

As usual, Steve has presented her with the dozen red roses, and this year the kids have decided they want in on the action.

The task? Cooking Katie dinner.

It’s chaos. Absolute chaos. Rori and Jamie are fighting over who gets to stir the sauce, Harry is hell bent on sticking his hands into the cheese to eat it and Flossie just thinks it’s great fun to throw her cup of juice all over the floor at in opportune moments.

By the time Katie gets back from the tower, the house is upside down. There’s mess all over the kitchen, but she doesn’t care, especially when four smiling kids, and a very frazzled Steve are waiting with a pretty damned good lasagne, garlic dough balls and wine.

Dinner ate, Katie takes bedtime routines as Steve cleans up.

And when the pair of them get their alone time, Steve’s getting a treat to a very special new set of red lace slinky lingerie, and he’s a very happy soldier.

[acrosstimeandspace]

✨️✨️ two fun facts!!

thank you for the ask flossie! sorry for taking a bit to get to this! i hope you’re doing well, and please remember to take care! i’ll do nephrine and kunz for these!

✨: nephrine’s one of beril’s retainers! she’s a daughter of a former knight who served king morion as one of his retainers, and so when she became a knight her goal was to become a retainer, and beril chose her to be his retainer. which was during their first meeting, and nephrine was extremely ecstatic. she takes pride in being chosen just open a first meeting, and her job as a knight very seriously.

✨: kunz is a mage, who rose up through ranks in the army to meet beril again. the two actually met when they were much younger, when kunz was an apprentice, and he was very drawn towards beril’s softness in the face of their hardships (they met before beril was adopted by morion), so when he found out that morion had taken them in, he decided that what was worth his time was being their retainer.

Amethyst - Chapter Forty

The killer's identity is finally revealed.

"Y-YOU?!" Flossi gasped, as her eyes met with none other than the man who had started every Taldoursian citizen's journey as a Pokemon trainer.

"Cecillius..." Clyde said, equally taken aback by the man who had just identified himself as Kossi's killer. I heard a faint squeak come from Lily's Pokeball as she recognised the presence of the man whose care she had been in before being bestowed onto me.

Professor Birch began walking towards all of us, an odd expression on his features. Mackenzie just stood there agape, not knowing what to say. The man in the white lab coat quickly broke the silence that had enveloped the room. "Indeed. It is my fault that Kossi is no longer with us."

"No... no..." Flossi began shaking her head before stepping up once again and folding her arms across her chest. "You were Kossi's most trusted friend... you didn't murder him... did the Corrupt Four put you up to this?!"

Professor Birch simply shook his head. "It was an accident." He simply stated.

"And yet you've stayed silent this entire time?!" Mackenzie exclaimed. "For TWO WHOLE YEARS Freya has been completely shattered, seeking revenge on the Elite Four for something YOU did?!"

My eyes widened in discomfort. Mackenzie was usually a very calm, collected and passive person. I had never seen him go so berserk in all the months I had known him. The Professor simply blinked. He understood very well that his revelation would have dire consequences on multiple sides. "It was completely unintentional, I assure you."

"Then why didn't you just come forward and say it was an accident?" Clyde queried. "Why wait all these years?! Were you waiting for the foundations of the Taldourse government to collapse?!"

"Because Kossi didn't want me to." Cecillius responded. It was this statement that triggered a memory within me back at the Opaquia Gym, where Kossi's ghost seemed eager to protect the identity of the person he had been battling with that day.

*Flashback ~ Professor Birch's POV*

The tranquil morning was harshly interrupted by a loud knock on the door. Stretching my legs, I rose to my feet and shifted to answer the door. I was faced with none other than my best friend, the Champion himself, wearing his signature gold-and-black robes, white cape, and, of course, the infamous Sapphire Crown atop his straight blonde locks.

"Up with the larks I see, Kossi," I rubbed my eyes.

The turquoise-eyed champion was amused by my early-morning fatigue. "No rest for the Champions of Taldourse, old chap!" He retorted, his arms crossed atop his chest.

"Less of the old chap, please! We're literally the same age!" I rolled my eyes.

"You look a lot older than 25 in your PJs, no offence," Kossi giggled.

"Plenty taken." I replied with a fake scowl. We both laughed harder.

"Anyhoo, I take it you're all au fait with how ionisation works?" The Champion inquired, producing a luxury ball from the pocket of his trousers.

"Pretty much," I nodded my head.

"This is serious stuff, Cecil! There's no room for uncertainties here!" Kossi emphasised. "Let's go!" He turned around and began dashing excitedly down my garden path. I rubbed my weary eyes one final time before following him to the Opaquia gym.

I jogged up to his side, still not fully awake. "What's the Lady Champion up to on this fine morning?" I queried.

"She's in a meeting with Chairwoman Crystal about the very subject of ionisation energy." Kossi responded. "Flossi knows all about the technical mechanisms behind this stuff, where's I'm just focused on the fun side of things." Kossi waved an arm around in the air playfully.

I laughed at his goofy antics. Despite being the most powerful and eloquent man in Taldourse, he always made it his priority to have a good time above all else.

Upon entering the Opaquia gym, which was bustling with excited Taldoursians, Kossi and I were immediately swarmed by a crowd of adoring fans, begging for his autograph. I stood back, admiring how graciously he handled every single one of them. He turned around to me and gestured towards the door to the stadium. "Cecillius, please go on ahead to the theatre. I shall catch you up in a short while."

~ End of Flashback, back to your POV ~

"Little did I know, I'd be the only one leaving the theatre alive that day." Professor Birch stated, his voice full of sorrow.

"And you didn't think to even MENTION IT TO ME?!" Flossi demanded.

"I did... but Kossi begged me not to." The Professor responded.

"And you call yourself the Pokemon Professor?!" Mackenzie scoffed, his fingers making quotation marks for the word 'Professor'. "You're a disgrace. An absolute disgrace!"

"You do realise you could've cost us everything?!" Clyde stepped up. This was the first time I had ever seen the Fairy Master in a serious and angered state. It was quite a sight to behold.

"And to think I've been persecuting the wrong people all along... I feel such an imbecile," Flossi continued.

"You lied to us all. You really are something else." I spat, disgusted by the sight of Cecillius by this point.

"This is why I became the Professor at such a young age. I was so torn up by guilt... so I threw myself into work and study to try and block it all out." Cecillius stated. "That's what Kossi wanted."

"What were my husbands last words?" Flossi asked with a sniff. "You owe me that much at least."

Cecillius cleared his throat, a tear forming in his eye at this point,

"Tell Flossi I love her, and to continue to carry the torch of the Taldourse Championship." He quoted.

Flossi whimpered out in grief, bringing her free hand up to cover her face as the tears once again penetrated her now-swollen eyes. Her other hand slowly loosened its grip on her late husbands' crown, until her palm ultimately opened up and the precious relic fell to the floor.

"It was a Solar Beam that ultimately knocked him down." Cecillius continued. "It hit him right in the chest. I'll never forget the sound of his scream."

"So it was an attack from a Pokemon?!" Mackenzie gasped in horror. My heart also began pounding as I realised the almost exact same thing had happened to Danny just half an hour prior.

"Pokemon don't attack people. The beam hit Kossi by mistake. He knew it was an accident. That's why he didn't want me to tell anyone. He didn't want me to be punished for an accident. He forgave me right as he died."

"So... Danny could die?" I spoke, my voice cracking as tears formed.

There was a pause, as if the Professor was reluctant to continue, yet he eventually answered with a small nod, "It is possible he may be lost on us."

Flossi collapsed onto her knees at this point, overwhelmed with both guilt and grief. There was a hard smacking sound as her knuckles hit the floor. Her head flopped downwards, directly facing the ground, causing the beautiful Amethyst Crown to topple off of her head and fall right at the side of its sparkling Sapphire counterpart. It was a beautiful yet tragic sight to see the two legendary Champion Crowns resting side by side. I watched in anguish as she curled up into a ball, clutching her thick hair with her hands. My attention quickly turned back to Professor Birch, who at this point, was begging for Clyde's understanding.

Seemingly out of nowhere, the argument was interrupted by a shrieking female voice. Even Flossi was alerted from her defensive position.

"CECILLIUS BIRCH!" As we all turned towards the archway entrance, Crystal was storming into the hall, marching right up to the guilty Professor, her eyes boring with rage. "I know exactly what you've done. You've taken us all for complete fools!"

"How many times; it was an ACCIDENT!" Cecillius pleaded. Crystal shook her head, and Clyde simply rolled his eyes.

"That's not the point! You almost allowed our government and infrastructure to collapse before our eyes!" The Chairwoman continued.

"That was down to her, not me." The Professor spat back, gesturing towards the grieving widow on the floor.

This then prompted Flossi to speak up. "I'm aware what I did was wrong on many levels, but THIS... what you've done... was, indeed, a complete perversion of the course of justice."

"I can't stand to look at him any longer. He makes me sick." Mackenzie moved to the other side of the room, and stood beside Crystal. "How's Danny doing?"

"He's in an ICU. He's still showing no signs of rousing." Crystal replied, much to my disappointment.

"I'm not the crazy one who decided to destroy an entire region of Pokemon with genetic engineering!" The disgraced Professor yelled, desperately trying to deflect from his actions.

Three large Hitmonchans appeared right on cue behind the Chairwoman. "Take him away." She instructed. The three large fighting-type Pokemon proceeded to grab Cecillius by the arms, and firmly manoeuvre him out of the room. "Get your filthy hands off me! I'm the Professor, for Arceus' sake! It was an accident! Flossi was the one who blew this out of proportion - OUCH!" His cries faded as he was escorted out, the five of us watching speechless after him.

My eyes turned back to Flossi once the Professor had been carted away. She was now standing at the large, stained-glass window with her back to us, staring out of it. The crowns remained on the floor exactly where she had dropped them. The next words that followed from her were so shocking that I almost thought I misheard her.

"Take the crowns." She said simply, without turning around.

"What?!" Mack gasped.

"That's what you came for. So there. I'm giving you what you want. Just take them and go." She continued, still unflinching.

Unsure, I turned to Clyde, who gestured towards the two Champions relics laying on the ground. Crystal's face was expressionless, as was Mackenzie's. The decision was in my hands.

And so, placing one foot in front of the other, I stepped out towards the crowns, and slowly bent my body over to retrieve them. My heart slammed frantically in my chest as I was about to make contact with the two most coveted treasures in the region. I carefully took the Amethyst Crown in my left hand and the Sapphire Crown in my right. I heard footsteps, and quickly realised that Mackenzie, Clyde and Crystal were all exiting the room, leaving just me and Flossi, who couldn't stand to turn around and witness the last piece of her reign disappearing.

"You can keep the crowns if you really want..." I eventually spoke up. "They don't really mean that much to me, symbolically."

The ex-champion sighed in frustration. "Just take the cursed crowns and leave me alone, would you?!" She sniffed again, as she brought her hand up to her face. "L-let me be alone... please..."

Respecting her decision, I nodded my head, looking down at the sparkling Amethyst and Sapphire gems beautifully embedded into the shiny gold metal. Despite the countless catastrophes that had occurred tonight, they still sparkled unlike anything I'd ever seen before. I nodded to myself, making a mental note to visit Galar Mine for myself one day, and then made a swift exit.

When I finally made it outside, my eyes immediately adjusted to the pitch black that was Opaquia city. I looked downwards, and around fifty feet below, I could make out a Corviknight along with 3 people waving at me, signifying it was time to say goodbye to the bleak city of Opaquia. Before I did, I took one final glance behind me through the stained-glass window of the hall above me, only to see Flossi knelt before a portrait of the late Kossi, sobbing uncontrollably. Knowing that there was nothing more I could do, I sighed, and began making my way to where the flying taxi was located.

"Kossi... what have I done... p-please don't hate me for it..."
