This was well-received on Instagram and the clock app, so here's the easiest way to acquire red brick dust for Southern folk magic. You absolutely do not need to pay $20 for a tiny bag online, I promise.

Appalachian Superstitions

Here today to briefly discuss some folk practices and beliefs in Appalachia! Here are a few of the superstitions passed down through my family, as well as through my community.

1) Keep a penny in your washing machine so you don’t wash away good luck.

2) Hang a horse shoe next to/over your doorway to invite luck inside.

3) “Do not wash your clothes on New Years Day, lest you wash family away.”

4) If you hear a dog howl at night, death will follow.

5) If you point at a graveyard, your finger will rot as the dead take it for their own.

6) If you step on a grave, the spirits will haunt you.

7) If a black cat walks across your path, you’ve been given good luck.

8) “Halo round the sun or moon, rain or snow is coming soon.”

9) Leave an axe under your bed to scare off bad dreams.

10) Beech trees will protect you from lightning.

11) Any herb with an onion/garlic type of taste can be put into bags to ward away sickness and evil.

12) Haint blue (a kind of indigo color) is believed to protect from haint spirits. This is rooted in African folklore and is heavily present in the Appalachian mountains.

13) Cobalt blue bottles hung on trees traps evil spirits to be banished by the morning sun.

14) Hanging corn cobs above doorways protects from hexes.

15) Deer horn points are worn around the neck to protect from the evil eye.

16) Sprinkling red clay mixed with salt and black pepper over your shoes will help to protect from bad luck.

A message from your friendly neighborhood Appalachian Latina:

Okay so today being the day that it is and me being the person I am I heave decided to talk about Appalachian heritage and culture vs what a bunch crappy people have tried to make it. This is all my experience not universal also some will be funny and totally fine to laugh at.

Im starting on the more serious note here because I feel these things really need to be addresed and as a Appalachian woman of color I often have felt that people dont think that both parts of this identity are compatible.

Things that are not Appalachian:

- Being racist

-being xneophobic

-Being homophobic or transphobic

-Flying a confederate flag (most of Appalachia was border states if not fighting for the Union side)

-Drinking shitty beer

- Licking the boots of cops and corporations

- being against higher education

- being an anti vaxxer

- glorifying the coal industry and the lives it has cost and is still costing

- hatred towards indeginous people

-Supporting a toxic or abusive family dynamic

-denying woman human rights

- shaming poor people

-Intentionally making your truck stupidly loud

-Union busting, and being against care and support for the disabled and elderly

-Poaching (Appalachian people value our resources and nature) WE hunt to eat not just to kill or destroy

Moving onto some lighter stuff, now these are some of things I love about being Appalachian and part of this culture and community.

Things that are actually Appalachian:

-Running from cops (seriously its like a whole ass thing)

-Fighting for Unions and Workers rights (The actual origin of Redneck, that term is not for racist fuck heads, it originated from red bandanas worn for Pro-union rights

-Being completely and terrifyingly unphased by coyotes

-Making your liquor

-Ignoring the screaming in the woods because that aint your problem

-Folk magic and traditions and superstitions rooted in Paganism and some indigenous magic

-Being part of the underground railroad (The appalachians made a ton of safe houses and protections pre and post civil war for people fleeing the south)

-Hunting to control Deer population and for food

-Knowledge of homesteading, useful herbs, and homeopathic remedies

-Strong sense of community and family

-Ignoring whatever is moving in the corn feild because you arent a white guy in a horror movie

-Women forming safe houses from abusive husbands or from other types of danger

-Valuing and appreciating the land and the connection we have with it

-Fist fighting God in a coal mine

-Weird ass folk tales and cryptids (see MothMan)

-Not letting your commuity go hungry

-caring for the old sick and vulnerable not out of pity but out of compassion and respect

-Fighting for your rights and the rights of others

-Resilience and strength in times of adversity

-Knowing at least on person who’s grandmother was some kind of witch with psychic abilities

-Knowing when the woods is silent something is wrong

-Screaming back at screech owls to assert dominance

-verbal history

-vibrant stories and music

These are my experiences as an Appalachian woman of color who loves both parts of her heritage and desperate wants to discourage the narrative that Appalachian people are rude prejudiced and uneducted. We are a resilient and loving people, we are full of stories traditions and a melting together of the new and old worlds. We are people with a murky history, yes, but we are full of acceptance love and strength.

To all my fellow Appalachians who hear these mixed narratives, know that we are the authors of our story. TO all my fellow people of color know that this mountainous region is not built exclusively on hate. Know that you belong, that your cultures are valid and that progress is not about rejecting your culture but about adaption to embrace new perspectives and beginning new stories
