Rather than a single narrative, this work presents a continental survey of folk magic practices rooted in the diverse cultures of North America. Edited by Cory Thomas Hutcheson and featuring contributions from more than twenty practitioners and scholars, the book moves region by region—from New England and the Maritimes through the Deep South and the West Coast—exploring the history, tools, beliefs, and rituals that shape traditions such as Appalachian Mountain Magic, hoodoo and conjure, curanderismo, Pennsylvania powwow, and New Orleans Voodoo, among others. Each chapter weaves together cultural context and lived practice to offer readers an immersive view of how magical systems have evolved across different landscapes and communities, making this a comprehensive resource for anyone interested in the continent’s rich folk magic heritage.
