Okay... I'm new here, so please bear with me if I'm doing something wrong in asking this; I tried searching and haven't seen any posts on this topic in several years, so hopefully it's okay to ask!

I have a budding interest in Appalachian mountain magic (driven by my own heritage and growing up in Tennessee), and I would love some recommendations for reading on the subject, if there's any to suggest.

I'm a pagan newbie and still very much learning and building my practice, so this may not be something I start actually incorporating into my work yet... but even so, I would really love to learn what I can.

I am currently reading "Staubs and Ditchwater" by H. Byron Ballard, which is an excellent jumping-off point. Just wondering if there's any suggestions beyond this too.

Thanks all!

I'm into different magic so interested in what people say.

Welcome to the Cauldron! And don't worry, questions are always welcome too

That's what we're here for!

I personally can't help with this one, since I'm only familiar with Appalachia through fiction. But I believe we have some members from around there who hopefully will chime in.
