Folk magic is a folk tradition, and this app is for reading, interest and practice in that spirit. It is not medical, legal or psychological advice. Some of the old remedies are recorded as history and household custom, not prescription. Where something needs a doctor, the article says so.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. What's inside Learn.
