Folk Magic is a working library of British folk-traditional witchcraft. The household craft, the kitchen spells, the bottles and the knots, the candles and the herbs, the small protective workings and the larger seasonal rituals, drawn from the oral tradition of these islands and held in a quiet, practical voice.
This is folk magic as it was actually practised: by cunning folk and hedge witches, by wise women, by the household practitioner with their hand on the broom and their pot on the hearth. It is not Wicca. It is not modern aesthetic witchcraft. It is the old craft, plainly told, in a form you can use.

Hearth. Simmer pots, oils, perfumes, washes, powders, lotions, kitchen work, home blessings, fixed rice, fixed salt, witch waxes, tea blends. The household side of the craft, where so much of it has always lived.
A daily moon almanac. Each day of the 29-day lunar cycle carries its own short reading: a note about where in the cycle you are, a charm verse, a working to try, and a spell to consider. A 7-knot charm thread runs through the cycle, picking up a knot at the crescent, building through the waxing phase, peaking at the full moon, and binding off in the waning crescent. The home page shows you which day of the cycle you're on.
Genuine British folklore. Jenny Greenteeth, Peg Powler, Black Annis, the Wild Hunt, the Cailleach, the Boggart, Will-o'-the-Wisp, Tom Tit Tot, Black Shuck. Oral tradition told in the voice of the people who carried it, not retold as fairy tale.
A practice journal for the workings you try, and a Favourites collection for the articles you return to.
Free or full. The Home page, Favourites, the Journal, and a curated tasting of articles across the sections are free, forever. The full library opens with a small monthly subscription. The first week is free.
Who this is for. People new to folk practice. Returning practitioners who want depth rather than aesthetic. Anyone who has tried "witch" apps that felt flashy, narrow, theatrical or shallow. Anyone curious about how the craft was actually held in these islands.
