Hillfolks Hoodoo: Appalachia’s Living Folk Magic Tradition
Byron Ballard
With its gnarly roots in the British Isles, the German Palatinate, and in indigenous American tribal practice, Appalachian folk magic is characterized by its hands-on and practical approach, as well as its use of available materials. Though it has come down to us through Protestant Christians’ filter, this system is easily adapted to modern Pagan sensibilities.
Willful Bane: the History, Techniques, and Ethics of Hexing
Byron Ballard
Willful Bane is about the ethics of banework, the history of it in Appalachian folk magic, plus lots of practical experience that includes dollies, sachets, vinegar, chicken feet, marshmallows, etc. We’ll dive into
history, legend, techniques, and–perhaps most important–ethics. Come learn about the joy of hex.
Tower Time—Birthing a New World (a Discussion)
Byron Ballard
Environmental and cultural challenges surround us and it is tempting to fall into despair or apathy. In this time of destruction, we can choose to live bigger, noisier, and more engaged lives. Creating activities and
putting protocols in place for and with our communities can lead to more resilience and stronger links in an increasingly isolated world. We’ll brainstorm what is already working in our local groups and consider how we move into this deepening time of possibility. By relocalizing everything we can, we will build resilience as well as a kind of hope.
