In this episode we dive deep into the history and lore of Appalachian Witches, also known as Granny Magic. We look into its origins and regional derivations from folk healers to wise women, to the witch women of the woods. Then we follow that up with some common rituals and spells to add to your own repertoire.
Finally, we delve into the misnamed Bell Witch legend, not that it isn't scary, just it doesn't have much to do with witches.
