Appalachian Granny Magic

One of our members on the www.witchescackle.com, turned our eyes to an article posted in witchvox. Being of Scotch-Irish descent and living in the Appalachian mountains, I became intrigued immediately.

The Appalachian Granny Magic Tradition of Witchcraft is one that is only
recently being heard of. Though the tradition is a very old one, dating all the
way back to the first settlers of the magical Appalachian Mountains who came
over from Scotland and Ireland in the 1700's. They brought along their even
older Irish and Scottish Magical Traditions with them. Those two 'old world'
Traditions were then blended with a dash of the local tradition of the Tsalagi
(Now, called the Cherokee Indians.) The recipe for the Appalachian Granny Magic
Tradition was then complete, though this potion simmered on a low boil for many
generations before anyone dubbed it with the name, 'Appalachian Granny
Magic.'
