Appalachian Folk Magic and Superstition
Appalachian magic is teeming with folklore and superstition.⛰️🌞 Here are a few of my (many) favorites:
To drive away mosquitoes, boil squash in water and sprinkle around the house.
Put salt in your fire for seven consecutive mornings to bring your husband home.
Cross your apron strings while looking at a hunter to make him miss his target.
Apply onion to a bee sting to instantly draw out the pain.
To make someone fall in love, soak your nail clippings in their whiskey.
