Living Folk Magic emphasizes that folk magic is something alive, vital, and modern. Discover practical and helpful information, regardless of your ethnic or spiritual background, to create a fulfilling and successful folk magic practice. Folk magic exists in every culture and has been practiced since the dawn of time. It is more than casting a spell or creating a ritual. It is a way of life, a way of living, a way of perceiving the world and all within it. Living Folk Magic explains how to build an entire folk magic practice—from cleansing and protecting to blessing and cursing—and provides instructions on how to build altars (whether openly or secretly), practice divination, communicate with spirits, and more. Supported by the “four pillars of magic,” these elements serve to provide stability, structure, and protection: Cleansing: to remove negative energy Blessing: to imbue with love Protecting: to charge with energy that repels evil Defending: to combat evil In Living Folk Magic, author Mary-Grace Fahrun seeks to share her magical perspective and processes in the hope of inspiring both beginners and experienced practitioners alike. “Mary-Grace Fahrun has done it again. From the strong yet kind voice of Italian Folk Magic comes heartfelt stories meant to empower and uplift. Mary-Grace’s journey will help you see the structure inherent in her system and embolden you to create your own. After all, one of the few things in this life that we truly own are the memories that shape who we are. Dive into Living Folk Magic and remember who you are.” —Amy Blackthorn, author of Blackthorn’s Botanical Shadow Work
