Old Gods of Appalachia - Folk Magic Overview
This is my attempt to make a kind of unified folk magic primer for new people coming to the game that want to play wise witch and cunning folk. This is definitely a work in progress and doesn’t cover everything thats possible out there, but its a good place to start perhaps. If you guys have any input, please send it my way!

Nailing it Down / Protection Magic
Description: People want to keep what’s theirs: their house, their land, their people. Nailing it down is how they claim that space and set a boundary the spirit world is expected to respect. This is usually done with something that clearly marks the property line. Sometimes it’s four railroad spikes driven into the four corners of the lot. Sometimes it’s four things buried at the corners instead—witch bottles, personal concerns, or other charged items.
