The witchcraft practiced in Appalachia is very much a folk 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 materials and tools used in Appalachia witchcraft are readily available from the land. This "grounded approach" will be of keen interest to witches and conjure folk regardless of where they live. Readers will be guided in how to build relationships with the spirits and other beings that dwell around them and how to use the materials and tools that are readily available on the land where one lives. This book also provides instructions on how to create a working space and altar and make conjure oils and powders. A wide array of tried- and-true formulas are also offered for creating wealth, protecting one from gossip, spiritual cleansing, and more. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 Witchcraft|zAppalachian Region. 650 0 Magic|zAppalachian Region. 650 0 Electronic books. 651 0 Appalachian Region|xFolklore. 730 0 hoopla (Digital media service) 914 MWT12363028
