Small Magics: Practical Secrets from an Appalachian Village Witch

Your hands-on, back-to-basics guide to building a magical practice.

“Common-sense folk wisdom, remedies, and practices . . . and a welcome perspective that the magical world all around is not only accessible to us, it is part of us.” —Miles Batty, author of Teaching Witchcraft

As if you’re having face-to-face lessons on her porch, H. Byron Ballard introduces you to the ways of magic, answering vital questions about what it is, why it matters, and how to do it. She teaches the mechanics and foundational skills of practice, offering no-nonsense techniques that practitioners of any skill level or tradition can use.

Drawing from her many years as a practicing witch, Ballard demonstrates how to engage daily with the energy around you. She encourages you to experience magic with fresh eyes—whether you're a beginner or need to regain a beginner’s mind. This book provides grounding exercises, shielding methods, healing magic, insight on witchcraft tools, and more. Ballard offers everything you need to live a full, enchanted life in our deliciously magical world.

“A down to earth, easy to read instruction manual filled with practical magical solutions all of which can be performed with items you already have on hand.” —Dorothy Morrison, author of Everyday Magic
