* One of the first books on Appalachian Root Magick Authentic Magick from an American oral tradition In this book you will discover real magic and techniques delivered from a well-respected and widely loved author who grew up in rural Appalachia and learned directly from his ancestors and the sprits that he saw. He is currently the only teacher and author of this tradition who is not just a scholar, but who was raised in the culture. Foxwood explores such techniques as: Spirit Sight, Conjuring and Faith Healing Working by the Signs (the ability to synchronise work such as farming, fertility of humans and animals, orcharding); Settling the Light (candle magic) Doctoring the Root (the ability to use herbs, roots, stones or animal parts – bones, claws, fur, etc. for magic or the clearing, cleansing and blessing of the spirit of a person, also known as his or her root) Praying or Dreaming True (Blessings of spirit/God to a person, place or thing as well as prophetic or predictive dreaming) Blessing or Cursing This is not a book of spells and magical recipes. This is a book to teach you to the old ways and traditions and how to trust and create magic in the world today. This is magic from the living, oral tradition, much of it in print for the first time, Appalachian root magic, from someone who was raised in the teachings of Southern Conjure, born with the Second Sight.
