Living Folk Magic emphasises 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.

“True to the Craft, folk witch Mary-Grace Fahrun brings us a down-to-earth, approachable, and most of all, doable guide in her book Living Folk Magic. ‘Living’ resonates as a double entendre throughout this book. Fahrun presents vibrant, innovative, and traditional folk practices brimming with age-old wisdom. Through her stories and guidance, curious practitioners can learn to live by the folk magic of their ancestors, with respect for neighboring traditions, thereby keeping folk magic alive.” —Priestess Stephanie Rose Bird, artist and author of numerous magical books including Motherland Herbal, African American Magick, and Sticks, Stones, Roots and Bones “Living Folk Magic is a lantern of ancestral wisdom, guiding us back to the everyday enchantment that has always been ours. With cleansing, blessing, protection, and defense as her four steadfast pillars, Mary-Grace Fahrun shows us how to weave these timeless practices into our kitchens, homes, and hearts. Her words feel like a blessing themselves—practical, heartfelt, and brimming with the magic of real life.” —Laura Davila, author of Mexican Magic and Mexican Sorcery
