Appalachian Folk Healing By Jake Richards

Ossman & Steels Guide to Health or Household Instructor (its original title) is a collection of spells, remedies, and charms. The book draws from the old Pennsylvania Dutch and German powwow healing practices that in turn helped shape Appalachian folk healing, conjure, rootwork, and many folk healing traditions in America. Jake Richards, author of Backwoods Witchcraft and Doctoring the Devil, puts these remedies in context, with practical advice for modern-day backwoods healers interested in using them today. A 5.3" x 8.02" paperback book with 152 pages.
