I was so beyond disappointed by this book.
Some information presented is correct, like the information on “ingredients” isn’t too bad if not a super small amount of them, she mentioned red clay which a lot of books seem to forget exists. And this book’s aesthetics? 10/10 for the illustration work, colors, fonts! I also appreciated the insistence that you help the land as much as possible, as well as the land’s original inhabitants and to give Indigenous voices space.
First off let’s get this out of the way: The author in her bio on her own website auburnlily.com claims she is a starseed. I have a LOT of personal feelings about the Starseed movement and how it damages the progress of mental health and getting help and medication for said mental disorders. But this should have been the first major red flag that this book would not be what it says on the cover.
A lot of my problems are as follows:
Most folk workers don’t use the same three or four ingredients…in this case:
Peppermint. Rose. Essential Oils. Crystals, usually citrine or black tourmaline.
Actually we tend to not use crystals at all unless we’ve adapted them into our practice ourselves…the old folk didn’t have pretty rocks to use they got at the New Age store in the town square, alright?
A LOT of this information is definitely tinged in a new age and modern light. The correspondences for the days of the week mentions “The Goddess” which we don’t…deal with??? At all??
Another example:
Grannies used to use the bible and ‘faith healing’ to avoid persecution from their community.
Absolutely not! She mentioned the witch trials a minimum of 6 times, which (ahaha good pun) almost made me roll my eyes into the back of my head, then I read the bible to avoid persecution part and almost burned the book on the spot.
Faith healing is NOT a cop out.
It was the way things WERE. Were there hexers? Yes. Were they given a wide berth sometimes? Also yes. But they also had their place in the community! The hexer in my family, F, was respected with some fear, but she was also the person who scorned lovers and cheated on spouses went to. When the police were hounding moonshiners a few came to her for cop go away works.
The author also insinuates that Yarb Doctors were held in higher regard because they didn’t use faith/and or gender may have had a point in that. I dunno what yarb doctors and grannies she talked to but men were not allowed in the birthing room, that was a Granny’s responsibility and by god they did it well. You never backtalked a Granny, they were and are the backbones of their communities.
Now that I’m off that soapbox, the author also seems to believe that meditation, third eyes, astrology in a modern way, and crystals are critical for Appalachian witchcraft which is stupidly incorrect. Her recipe for floor wash is hogwash and far too simple and small, her candle color correspondences are laughable…especially that little line on Orange: “Helps with menstrual cramps.” If that was the case no straight woman in Tennessee would get cramps because they all wear orange at least once a week for their team.
She only uses Hoodoo like…3 times which is better than most authors so I supposed that’s progress?
The author also has quite a few love spells mentioned, and weirdly enough…a lot of her ingredients in OTHER spells are also the same ingredients in her love spells. How strange.
My final and most damning gripe, the author seems to believe that stereotypes make for amazing offerings to the ancestors. In particular…the Irish would appreciate offerings of potatoes. You have to be kidding me.
Overall: Yet another new age witch trying to make folk magic look far more complicated and fluffy than it is. I hated this so much.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐
“Appalachian Witchcraft” provides an intriguing glimpse into the unique traditions and practices of witchcraft in the Appalachian region. While it offers valuable insights and serves as an introduction to the subject, there are certain aspects that left me wanting more.
One of the strengths of this book is its focus on the specific cultural and historical context of Appalachian witchcraft. The author explores the rich folklore, beliefs, and practices that have been passed down through generations in this region. It sheds light on the blending of indigenous, European, and African spiritual traditions, providing readers with a deeper understanding of the unique tapestry of Appalachian witchcraft.
Additionally, the book offers practical guidance on various aspects of Appalachian witchcraft, including spellwork, divination, and herbalism. It provides clear instructions and explanations, making it accessible for those interested in exploring these practices. The author’s inclusion of personal anecdotes and experiences adds a personal touch and helps to contextualize the information shared.
However, there are a few areas where the book falls short. Firstly, the depth of information provided on certain topics feels limited. While it serves as an introduction, I would have appreciated a more comprehensive exploration of specific rituals, spells, or historical accounts. This would have allowed for a deeper understanding and engagement with the subject matter.
Furthermore, the writing style can be somewhat dry and lacks a cohesive narrative flow. The information is presented in a straightforward manner, but it occasionally feels disjointed and lacks a sense of storytelling. A more engaging and immersive writing style would have enhanced the reading experience.
Moreover, the book could have benefited from more diverse perspectives and voices. While the author provides their own insights and experiences, incorporating a range of voices from different practitioners or experts in the field would have added depth and richness to the exploration of Appalachian witchcraft.
In conclusion, “Appalachian Witchcraft” serves as a valuable introduction to the subject, offering insights into the unique traditions and practices of the region. While it provides practical guidance and explores the cultural context, it falls short in terms of depth, narrative flow, and diversity of perspectives. It is a good starting point for those interested in Appalachian witchcraft, but readers may need to seek additional resources to delve deeper into the subject.

It is always a blessing to learn from Auburn, but this books feels especially special. Even if you’re unfamiliar with Appalachian magic, this is a great book for beginners to dive into a wholesome and loving magical practice.

Even though I finished reading the historical, educational parts of the book, I'll definitely be returning to the instructional sections continually. Excellent handbook!

I really enjoyed this book and learning about the history of Appalachian folk magic that was used in everyday life. I do wish that at times the author went into more detail, although I understand this is more of an intro book.

Absolutely amazing
Such a great and timely read for me! Struggling on my path for so long now, this book has so many things that I learned as a child in the deep south. I love Appalachia, and it turns out that I have heritage and ancestors from the region less than 2 generations ago! This book is probably the best and most well-written book that teaches witchcraft that I've ever read.

Honestly this book wasn't quite what I expected. I was looking for more folk practices and everyday rituals as part of Appalachian culture and instead got something that sounded like a youth pastor and a beginner spell book. It's good for if you are starting off and wanting to just learn the basics of general witchcraft but I wouldn't necessarily call the second half of this book Appalachian focused...

Book Title: Appalachian Witchcraft for Beginners
Author: Auburn Lily
Publisher: Rockridge Press
Rating: 5/5
I grew up at the base of the Appalachian mountains in the Tennessee Valley of Alabama. While I don't consider myself an Appalachian conjurer, I grew up knowing some who were. So, I was intrigued to come across Appalachian Witchcraft by Auburn Lily. I won't lie. What caught my gaze first was the beautiful book cover. The book's aged, herbalism look and the cardstock's velvety texture delighted my graphic designer heart. It is one of the most beautiful books in my collection. However, the book's topic (Appalachian Witchcraft) made me hesitate. This topic is one subject that can be told really well or really awful. To understand my hesitation, I need to divulge a little background.
I grew up in a middle-class white farming family in Alabama. Living in the bible belt meant the word 'witch' was not only taboo but the ultimate sin to those around me. However, my maternal grandmother always had horseshoes above every door and bells hanging on the doorknobs to 'keep the devil away.' My paternal grandparents lived and breathed old Cherokee wisdom regarding their farming: "You always plant beans, corn, and squash together." When my baby niece had trouble sleeping due to colic, my mother hung up an old tube sock with an egg inside to 'soak up the bad dreams.' Yet if you asked any of my family if they were practicing witchcraft, you'd get a shocked "hell no!" Everything that my family did was simply 'tradition' or 'the way it is.' They didn't question where these remedies came from; they just worked.
In the rocky mountainous regions of the Appalachian mountains, many settlers from diverse backgrounds all relied heavily on each other. The terrain was unforgiving, and the nearest settlements were often spaced hundreds of miles apart. If one of your children got sick or a farmer injured themselves in the field, a doctor was too far away to reach in time. So, neighbors helped each other by using all their knowledge and tools. Here is where things get a bit dicey and can come across poorly to outside readers. The people in these remote areas took all their neighbors' advice. If these remedies worked, they kept the practice and passed it along. This was generations before the idea of appropriation came to be. The hardworking mountain people didn't care if the idea came from the Native Americans, Germans, Irish, etc. If the remedy worked, it worked. This cultural fusion grew into an entirely new entity: Appalachian Root Work.
That was a lot of information, but I think it's important for you to understand my trepidation about starting Appalachian Witchcraft. Would this be a true representation of the Appalachian people, or would this be another white author cashing in on appropriated beliefs? If you take the history out of this craft, the results look dirty and can be twisted to fit a pretty damning narrative. I am happy to relay that this was not the case in Auburn Lily's work. She stayed true to the heart of this folk tradition with grace and acceptance. While Lily explained the practice, she always advised the reader to respect the work's original creators and do their research into closed practices and religions. She never advocated for appropriation but instead gave accurate information and urged understanding.
I originally planned to give this book a rating of 3/5 because I gained no new information. So, I left the book feeling neutral. However, I had to remind myself that I grew up with this in my backyard. I wasn't a beginner necessarily, and this book clearly states that it is for beginners. As a beginner's introduction to the folk craft, I think Auburn Lily did an excellent job. I highly recommend this book for a complete beginner, and I look forward to anything more advanced that Ms. Lily comes up with, especially if the cover is half as gorgeous as this one.

This book was fine. It's a sweet beginning into Appalachian witchcraft with the basis of peace and love kinda stuff. To me it was more heavy on the peace within you aspect more than the Appalachian part. Which is fine but not exactly what I wanted. I'll back track myself and admit that it did give some peace to my weekend.
I'd recommend to beginners (which it is intented for) and people wanting to find their selves.
Booksource: I bought this one in paperback for myself.

Low on the Appalachian content, but a great beginner's book for magic overall. I'm a granny-witch who picked this up as a curiosity. She throws in some Appalachian-specific content in the beginning, but then veers away from the specific things that we do in our craft to focus more broadly on what American witches do. As a book for the general beginner witch, I'd give it 5 stars. But it's not what it represents itself to be.
March 17, 2025
This was interesting! I felt like a lot of it was redundant—it seemed like the author had an article’s length of content that was stretched into a full length book. However the illustrations were beautiful, and it was interesting to learn about the connection between Christianity/the Bible and Appalachian witchcraft. Interesting book for anyone who wants to know more about Appalachian folklore or witchcraft!

Language is inclusive and respectful, but author does recommend the use of a feather for cleansing/protection rituals and I personally feel that walks too close to Indigenous closed practices, so please ensure to do your own research, as with all witchy reading. 🩵
April 24, 2023
A great overview for beginners; about half history of Appalachian folk magic and its influences and theory and half spellcraft 'recipes.' I would have preferred more in depth history based on my own interests, but it was great for what it was.
June 28, 2023
Mostly for Southern Appalachia
Why is it when people speak of Appalachia, they only think of the South?
The Appalachian Range extends from Georgia through Northeastern Canada.
This book is no different in not including Northern Appalachian traditions as well.

October 1, 2023Grabbed this one on sale in case I ever had a character who was an Appalachian witch. It's very much an introduction, best I can tell. Some interesting ideas, but that first section felt almost like...AI? I don't know.
