Story
Who were the old conjurors and witches of Appalachia? What were their practices and beliefs? How can you learn the ways of conjuring for yourself? Appalachian folk magic and conjuring are little known today, but 40 or 50 years ago just about every person you might ask in Appalachia either knew something about it themselves or knew someone who did it. These practices and “superstitions” are at the core of Appalachian culture. In Doctoring the Devil, Jake Richards speaks to those questions and more.

To the ancients, the goddess Hekate symbolized the inner journey back to the soul. Indeed, ancient philosophers identified her as Anima Mundi, the "soul of the world." As such, she connects many archetypes associated with the cycle of life, death, and rebirth. From her role as protector of roadways to her power as the bringer of death, she offers us keys for healing. Incorporating her personal experiences with those of her students, Cyndi Brannen weaves a supporting circle around the listener as they start their path towards soulful living, culminating in rebirth.

Publisher's summary
In Backwoods Witchcraft, Jake Richards offers up a folksy stew of family stories, lore, omens, rituals, and conjure crafts that he learned from his great-grandmother, his grandmother, and his grandfather, a Baptist minister who Jake remembers could "rid someone of a fever with an egg or stop up the blood in a wound." The witchcraft practiced in Appalachia is very much a folk magic of place, a tradition that honors the seen and unseen beings that inhabit the land as well as the soil, roots, and plant life.
The materials and tools used in Appalachia witchcraft are readily available from the land. This "grounded approach" will be of keen interest to witches and conjure folk regardless of where they live. Listeners will be guided in how to build relationships with the spirits and other beings that dwell around them and how to use the materials and tools that are readily available on the land where one lives.
This book also provides instructions on how to create a working space and altar and make conjure oils and powders. A wide array of tried-and-true formulas are also offered for creating wealth, protecting one from gossip, spiritual cleansing, and more.

Take me Home Country Roads
If you are Pagan like me, you may not able to separate the valuable knowledge in this book from the highly Christian tradition it comes from. If you are wanting some type of wild mountain witchcraft with no mention of the bible this is not the book for you. The bible is deeply rooted in everything offered in this book and that's going to be hard for many of you to get over. But if you can, then I think its definitely worth your time. I think plenty of the charms and such in the book can be applied to any tradition with a bit of reworking if you are so inclined. Just as a read it's an important book simply on the merits of documenting and sharing the magics of Appalachian communities who are so often looked over in all facets of life.
Reading or listening to this book for those of us from the south Pagan or not will feel like sitting down with your more wild relatives and hearing all the yarns they loved to spin. It feels very familiar, homey. To sum up my rambling I wholeheartedly recommend this book.

Appalachian Memories
A worthy read offering practical guidance. I enjoyed listening to the book. Born, raised and still living in East Tennessee, this book brought back fond memories of my childhood. I spent every weekend at Granny's house. I enjoyed hanging around the Elders more than playing with my cousins. I listened, watched and learned many of our Hill Folk beliefs and ways of life and this book had me reminiscing through the things I've watched Granny and others do.
We don't hear of these old ways and beliefs much anymore. I'm thankful the author has preserved some of them in this book. To an outsider, this form of witchcraft may sound crazy, but I grew up watching it work. And, I would love to be apart of keeping the Appalachian ways alive. I've been journaling down the memories of what I saw Granny do, since listening to the book. It's time to carry the tradition forward for my ancestors and the generations to come...

She touched my soul!
From someone who grew up with the stories of West Virginia and their ways, she spoke to my soul. Both sets of grandparents knew these ways. I used to chalk it up to old superstition until I would see them do their work and see the outcome. Momma Casas touched on every bit and more and I thank you. If you want to be steeped in tradition and learn what really works, listen to this book. I promise, it won’t disappoint.

I’m an Asheville, NC native long ago transplanted up north in the midst of my parents divorce. My greats, and grands, were lifelines to me as a child. My great grandparents used many of the remedies in this book. Listening was like taking the hands of the distantly departed for a little while. Thank you, Mr Richards.

Who were the old conjurors and witches of Appalachia? What were their practices and beliefs? How can you learn the ways of conjuring for yourself? Appalachian folk magic and conjuring are little known today, but 40 or 50 years ago just about every person you might ask in Appalachia either knew something about it themselves or knew someone who did it. These practices and “superstitions” are at the core of Appalachian culture. In Doctoring the Devil, Jake Richards speaks to those questions and more.

Story
Who were the old conjurors and witches of Appalachia? What were their practices and beliefs? How can you learn the ways of conjuring for yourself? Appalachian folk magic and conjuring are little known today, but 40 or 50 years ago just about every person you might ask in Appalachia either knew something about it themselves or knew someone who did it. These practices and “superstitions” are at the core of Appalachian culture. In Doctoring the Devil, Jake Richards speaks to those questions and more.

Story
Ossman & Steel's Guide to Health or Household Instructor (its original title) is a collection of spells, remedies, and charms. The book draws from the old Pennsylvania Dutch and German powwow healing practices that in turn helped shape Appalachian folk healing, conjure, root work, and many folk healing traditions in America. Jake Richards, author of Backwoods Witchcraft and Doctoring the Devil, puts these remedies in context, with practical advice for modern-day "backwoods" healers interested in using them today.

Story
Regional traditional witchcraft is an animistic form of witchcraft that moves away from the religious harvest festivals and fertility-minded practices associated with the more common Wiccan form of witchcraft. Very few of us in this age are farmers or dependent upon crops and harvests. Regional traditional witchcraft teaches people to find their craft in their own backyards, in the uncultivated land or urban cityscape alike, and in their ancestors rather than in ancient foreign deities or in a neopagan religious form of witchcraft. It's not about where you're from but where you are.
