About this listen
Italian folk magic is a beautiful, powerful, and effective magical tradition that is accessible to anyone who wants to learn it, including Italians who want to regain their magical heritage. Containing magical and religious rituals and prayers, this book explores divination techniques, crafting, blessing rituals, witchcraft, and, of course, the evil eye, which is known as malocchio in Italian and which the author thoroughly explains, including what it is, where it comes from, and, crucially, how to get rid of it. Such insights will help listeners learn unique methods of magical protection, divination, and spells for love, sex, control, revenge, and more.

In Backwoods Witchcraft, Jake Richards offers up a folksy stew of family stories, lore, omens, rituals, and conjure crafts that he learned from his great-grandmother, his grandmother, and his grandfather, a Baptist minister who Jake remembers could "rid someone of a fever with an egg or stop up the blood in a wound." The witchcraft practiced in Appalachia is very much a folk magic of place, a tradition that honors the seen and unseen beings that inhabit the land as well as the soil, roots, and plant life.

Who were the old conjurors and witches of Appalachia? What were their practices and beliefs? How can you learn the ways of conjuring for yourself? Appalachian folk magic and conjuring are little known today, but 40 or 50 years ago just about every person you might ask in Appalachia either knew something about it themselves or knew someone who did it. These practices and “superstitions” are at the core of Appalachian culture. In Doctoring the Devil, Jake Richards speaks to those questions and more.

In The Green Witch, you will learn the way of the green witch, from how to use herbs, plants, and flowers to make potions and oils for everyday healing as well as how crystals, gems, stones, and even twigs can help you find balance within.

She inherited a flair for Italian cooking from her grandmother, but she never seems to have the time for it - these days, her oven holds only sweaters. Tacked to her office bulletin board is a photo from a magazine of a tidy cottage on the coast of Maine - a charming reminder of a life that could be hers if she could only muster the courage to go after it.

Anya occupies two parallel food universes: one where she writes about four-star restaurants, the other where a taste of humble kolbasa transports her back to her scarlet-blazed socialist past. To bring that past to life, in its full flavor, both bitter and sweet, Anya and her mother, Larisa, embark on a journey unlike any other: they decide to eat and cook their way through every decade of the Soviet experience - turning Larisa’s kitchen into a "time machine and an incubator of memories". Together, mother and daughter re-create meals both modest and sumptuous.

Number-one New York Times best-selling author Laurie Notaro isn't exactly a domestic goddess - unless that means she fully embraces her genetic hoarding predisposition, sneaks peeks at her husband's daily journal, or has made a list of the people she wants on her Apocalypse Survival team (her husband's not on it). Notaro chronicles her chronic misfortune in the domestic arts, including cooking, cleaning, and putting on Spanx while sweaty (which should technically qualify as an Olympic sport).

Other suitors come and go, but none make her feel the way she feels around Emery - that incredible floating feeling, as if she was walking on air, mixed with a painful desperation to be ever nearer to him. Despite the fact that Emery seldom seems to pay her much attention, she decides it would be unfair to marry anyone else when her heart longs only for him. He hasn’t seriously dated anyone else either.

Such a gift
Such a gift to have all of these folk concepts together in one place. I needed this. The reader has a clear voice and it would have been great for a story, but she was too over dramatic for a nonfiction book. Going into and out of hokey accents of the author’s relatives was uncomfortable.

A much needed treasure trove of traditional folk Spirituality of Southern Italy and its diaspora
I soaked this book up. Both in print and when I wanted to listen in my car. As having had grandparents from Sicily and southern Italy I’ve wanted to reconnect with my culture but the organic mystical aspects that had no central teachings, no doctrine, was diversely interpreted and practiced, and were practiced side by side in a delicate dance with Catholicism was so hard to find. I had only my memories and words of those like me who could also remember some of the “old ways.” As the Italian diaspora has evolved so much of these traditions and the magic of our ancestors is disappearing in a divisive struggle between those eschewing tradition for modern secular skepticism and those resisting clinging ever so tightly to dogma and doctrine. The space to utilize imagination, magic, and mystical connection to the Ancestors is becoming thinner and thinner but is beginning to assert and define itself. This I think is a common theme that can be witnessed among many cultures. I love how the author points out things that her nonna did that I can relate to but also define the fluidity and personal nature of Practice as even those she practices today are modifications of the practices of those before her. It’s a beautiful journey of faith, imagination, magic, spirituality, tradition, food, finding the sacred in the mundane and longing for meaning and self discovery we all have.
My only complaint…the reader. I really hate to do this because readers are human too and I don’t want to be rude or mean. But just being honest it became hard to listen to as I found the reader to be over dramatic with her voice, and seemed out of touch with Italian American culture as her accents and pronunciations of Italian/Sicilian words were at times painful to listen to. But maybe I’m just being a snob. Anyhow give it a shot! No matter your religion, race, or cultural/ethnic background you can’t help but find something in this read you’ll be able to relate to.
