S7E9 - Community Mindsets Rooted in Simple, "Small" Magic: the Lessons of Appalachian Folk Practice with Byron Ballard

Send us Fan Mail

This time in the Magick Kitchen, we're having a cup of tea with H. Byron Ballard, a Priestess and pagan community leader for over 50 years. We discuss the simple ways of communing with spirits that Ballard's work extolls, including her newest book, Small Magic. We also look at land spirit work in detail, and discuss the importance of community and putting down roots when it comes to practicing the Craft.
