🌳 Does Gaelic really have a “Tree Alphabet”? 🌲 https://theaddersden.wordpress.com/2026/03/01/%f0%9f%8c%b3-does-gaelic-really-have-a-tree-alphabet-%f0%9f%8c%b2/ #Archaeology, #FolkMagic&Charmers, #FolkTraditions/Practices, #Folklore, #History, #Religion&Spirituality, #ScottishGaelic, #ScottishGaelicPolytheism
In both the Yoruban (Lucumí) and Celtiberian traditions, the door is the threshold—the interface between the public (the Material World) and the private (The Sovereign/"Ellis").
In the Lucumí tradition, the entrance is the domain of Elegguá, the Orisha who opens and closes paths. Additionally, while traditional Jewish homes place a Mezuzah on the doorpost, Crypto-Jews (conversos like my paternal family) often hid their sacred objects behind doors or within the internal structure of the entrance to avoid detection by the Inquisition. Moreover, Celtiberian castros (fortified hill-forts) were designed with complex, narrow gateways, and warriors were stationed specifically at the gate to ensure that anyone entering was meant to be there.
For these reasons and more, I'm delighted to have finally moved my bóveda to my room and placed it behind my door on my dresser. Now it's perfect. 💜
Elegguá, Anú, and my ancestors (Egun) can now watch over me while I sleep and work. 😻
The bóveda points outwards, with the open end kinda towards my bed. It was the best I could do in terms of facing it "towards the door." I partially wish I could curve it a little bit, but the arrow is all > and no —. 😛
Anyway, syncretism rocks, and I love how wildly diverse my ancestors were. I wish I'd learned any of this way earlier in life, but I'm happy and grateful to know it all now. 😊

In the African-American folk traditions of the American South, a "conjure man" or "conjure woman" is a professional sorcerer. They would live outside the community, often in the swamp. Though feared, conjure folk would be consulted for various magical services.

It was once believed that metal was a gift from the gods, thereby endowing it with protection and auspicious power. This was especially true for copper, from which pennies are made. Copper is ruled by Venus, which means pennies can attract good luck to those who know how to use it for such purposes.

“Like a lot of folk love divination, I don’t know where this came from,” writes Lauren Parker. “It’s nonsense, it’s silly, it’s probably not even accurate. And also every time I’m handed a straw I dutifully tie a knot to see if someone somewhere is thinking of me fondly.”
Kentucky Superstitions by Daniel Lindsey Thomas & Lucy Blayney Thomas.
First published in 1920.
This is a fantastic primer for those beginning in Kentucky folk magic and Southern Appalachian folk magic.

It's worth having a copy in hand, though. I have so many pages book marked and notes written in mine on who I heard it from locally, etc. I'll be passing mine down to the kids.
Witches & that sort,
Folk magic & CA -
I've been listening to a lot of Jake Richards lately. He's a folk magic practitioner from Tennessee & has some good stuff.
I'm from western KY, more hills & less mountains, with relatives here from WV, TN, & eastern KY. There's a lot of AFM (Appalachian Folk Magic) that crosses paths or is outright the same as what's practiced in western KY.
My personal practice & his mainly differ in the Bible usage. #Witch #Witchcraft #FolkMagic #Kentucky

In magic we strive to fulfill our mundane needs in a magical way. Using herbs, stones, bones, or other curio (along with prayer, energy work, and intention) we attempt to conjure forth the hidden spiritual properties within those items to create an environment that will protect us from whatever harmful influences we may encounter.
