I already know a little about Rune magic, tarot magic and candle magic; however, I am interested in learning more about Hoodoo and the other types of magic. You can PM with more information. I would really like to know more. I have practiced witchcraft for about 10 years but have been interested in folk magic all of my life.
I just found this thread by accident. It's weird i haven't found it sooner. Anyway...i'm from Slovenia. And there is an old woman that lives right next door to me, probably 200 years old (give or take a few LMAO)...When i moved in this village (yes it's a villge but very modern...very distant and isolated but has everything the city has) , i got to know a few neigbours except for her. They told me she never walks out in the street only hangs around her house. They also told me that she will invite me over and give me something to eat, and i should NEVER take what she gives me cus she's and old hag witch (we call them "coprnca"...an insult for witches here). Anyway when i heard of that i took it as a dare and i was out in the garden calling her out in my mind to come and greet me. And so she did...she came to the fence and invited me over. I went over and she offered me fresh baked cookies. Of course i took em and ate one. We had a nice normal chat and i went home afterwards...when i reached in my pockets i got pricked with something...i pulled it out and insted of cookies i had old rusty nails in my pockets lol.
I went back to her the next day and asked what's that about. She told me i probably heard from the neighbors that she's a witch and that it's true. i started smiling and she was suprised i saw that that in a positive way...anway...we got to bond and we still talk today and she attends my mass rituals that i organize (i got her out of the house yay!).
as Faust and drea said, they take in pupils. Now i'm not her pupil but she did let me watch her way of practicing her way of witchcraft...it's just as drea said, she used A LOT of bones and other parts of animals in her craft. She also tought me how to make charms which is now one of my specialties along with garden/earth magick...she's really an awesome witch and so knowledgable...i learn from her and she learns from me and now people talk about both of us. They say souch evil things about us i'm not supried she was evil twards them. She told me they stoned her house and threw rotten eggs at her...now we get to cackle over their little "accidents" together and even though she's old she's like a rock chic ROFL.
She also showed me the celtic shrine that is in the city i used to live in. We go there every now and then to enjoy the energy...you can really feel how old the shrine is just by standing thre.
anyway...Slovenia's a pretty old place with lots of folklore and beautiful landscape...but the people aren't as...pleasant as the country is...they'll dry your wallet for a "hello" lol.
My point is, that folklore magick still exists untouched and that many people stick to the old ways still here (good and bad). You just gotta get lucky with the people hehe
