Mountain Magick
Mountain Magick: Folk Wisdom from the Heart of Appalachia | Edain McCoy
1 post | 3 to read
The Appalachian Mountain range is more than 2,400 miles long, stretching from Quebec to Alabama. Now, the rich folklore of southern Appalachia, with all of its unique magicks, is revealed in Mountain Magick (previously titled In a Graveyard at Midnight) by Edain McCoy. As a descendent of the famous feuding McCoy family (of the Kentucky-based Hatfield-McCoy rivalry), she is the ideal person to share the folk wisdom of these people. The Appalachian folk used omens, portents, curses, cures, and protections. Mountain Magick focuses on some of these magickal techniques, including ones for family and home, romance and children, health and healing. In this book you will learn the traditional Appalachian way to: - Do remote healings - Cast spells for love and romance - Cure warts with beans and a potato - Break a curse - End a headache with a cool vinegar compress - Wash away dandruff with an after-shampoo rinse of hops and sage - Stir up a windstorm by whistling - Use an old shoe to increase your good fortune In today's magickal community, Anglo-Celtic religions seem to be the most popular. Even if you are following a British or Irish tradition, you should not overlook the rich folk magick as revealed in Mountain Magick. Many of the people (and their traditions) in this area come from the Scottish and English immigrants who settled there as long ago as the mid-1700s. That is why you will find information on how to integrate the Appalachian folkways with your magickal lifestyle. The folk wisdom of the Appalachian people described in Mountain Magick is sure to intrigue you with its power and usability. Get your copy today.

Day 10 of #WickedWhispers is #Thombstones
These are the tombstones I made for our front yard last year. I also made the candles (pool noodles, glue sticks and battery tea lights), Zero (styrofoam, wire and table cloth) and the skeleton coming out of the ground (I did buy and break apart the skeleton but I made the fake ground, slimy bits, painted and posed him).

InkedBookworm13 @Sace I have a neighbor who calls me the queen of Halloween because I change out the window decorations (silhouettes) and music each year to match our costumes. 🎃🎃🎃 I will say our neighborhood really goes all out. We even have a parade with a block party on the Saturday before Halloween for the kids. 1mo

InkedBookworm13 @dabbe thanks 😊 I used tutorials from YouTube to make them super sturdy and waterproof. The ones I made a few years ago kept breaking and flying away, so I really went all out to make them last. 1mo
