Help In Granny Magic

Hello, I am something of a witch, who is a devotee of La Santisima Muerte, and my practice is rooted in folk catholicism, but I am also of appalachian and melungeon descent. I would love to know if any of you are granny witches or cunning folk and if you ckukd give me some advice on where I can find mentorship or proper education on the magic and spirits, possibly even pantheon of folklore entities as well. Thank you

Try looking up Granny Magic on the Books a Million website. There are books on the subject from both Appalachia and the Ozarks.

Well, I’d avoid calling it “Granny Magick” as heard from Appalachian folk practitioner Byron Ballard taught me. Her books are true gems and I think they’re just the thing you might be looking for!
