Spiritual products for your everyday rituals.
Roots, Branches & Spirits by H. Byron Ballard is a beautifully written journey into the heart of Appalachian folk magic. Ballard, known as Asheville’s “Village Witch,” shares stories, remedies, and practices that grew from the mountains themselves, passed down through generations of wise women, healers, and root workers.
This book feels like sitting on a front porch in the soft light of dusk, listening to old stories about protection charms, herbal cures, and the spirits that guard the hills. Ballard’s writing is both intimate and powerful, offering insight into a living tradition that honors the ancestors, the elements, and the sacred rhythms of nature.
Roots, Branches & Spirits is more than a history of Appalachian witchcraft—it’s an invitation to remember where your magic comes from. For those drawn to the earth, to folk ways, and to the power that rises from deep roots, this book is a timeless and grounding companion.
