Jake Richards

Jake Richards holds his Appalachian heritage close in his blood and bones. His family legacy in Appalachia goes back generations. Jake has practiced Appalachian folk magic for over a decade now. Jake has written three books (Backwoods Witchcraft: Conjure & Folk Magic from Appalachia, Doctoring the Devil: Notebooks of an Appalachian Conjure Man, and Ossman and Steel’s Classic Household Guide to Appalachian Folk Healing), a deck of cards (Conjure Cards) as well as contributions to Mat Auryn’s Mastering Magick, Llewellyn's Complete Book of North American Folk Magic: A Landscape of Magic, Mystery, and Tradition by Cory Hutcheson; article in Witchology Magazine, Samhain issue 2022.

It is his hope that this work resurrects these traditions as they were, not as history as recorded them in broken pieces of “superstition”, but as a cohesive system by which mountain folk have lived for centuries. If your folks are from Appalachia, this is apart of your heritage, life, and culture, regardless of your gender, race, or sexual orientation.

We are all heirs to the Mountain.
