Some call it "Backwoods Magic". Others say, "Hillfolk Hoodoo," "Mountain Conjure", or just "the Work."
Whatever you call it, it is the enduring folk magic that haunts the hollers and lingers within the misty slopes of the Appalachian mountains.
Join us as we explore the wonder and rich tradition of practiced Appalachian folk Magic, as well as the fascinating (yet often overlooked) folklore and history of the region.
Also.. Jeremy survives the break, Jon ruins the Sixth Sense, and Chris tries trivia!
