How to research traditional witchcraft in your area (mostly for america)

Look up the big stuff first. "Desert witchcraft" "mississippi river lore" etc. Rivers, mountain ranges, and biomes are your friends, and you'll get more results from "prairie witchcraft" than "Iowa witchcraft"

If you live near a natural park, see if it has lore or spirits associated with it. I guarantee you'll get some results about the lore behind Yellowstone or the grand canyon

Bookstores and libraries are your friends! There's no better places to find local lore, recipes, and if you're lucky, some witchy bits.

The local spirits know this land best. Where I live, the spirit of a local hero is a better guide to the land than most who live on it.

Visit the local cemetery, and research those that are buried there (there are almost always large memorials for those who did notable things, they'll be easier to research). Let those buried there call to you while you're there too.

Old. People. Ask them about the monuments, landmarks, superstitions and listen to them.

Things I've learned so far in my witchcraft practice:

Your intuition is your best friend; better to be wrong and safe than right and silent.

Your digestion knows when something is off.

Not everyone has to believe you, and not everyone is worth telling.

Divination is here to guide you, not to define you.

Protection. Cleansing. Protection. Cleansing. Protection. Clea—

When you get in your own head, you get in your own way.

Magick is science, psychology, intention, and unknowns.

Tools are only focuses; you are all you need.

There is energy in everything; atoms are moving all around us, each working together to keep the universe from unravelling. How bold of us to assume we aren't able to witness that energy.

Ask for permission, not forgiveness; your sister may forgive, but the earth may not.

Even if this is all bullshit (it isn't, in my experience), it's fun, and laughter is the best medicine.

Aloe for burns and antibiotics for infections.

"Let other men go to war; Protesilaus must love."

You don't owe your time, energy, or resources to anyone else, but sharing is often rewarding.

Some information is too valuable to give away; charge for the things you cherish; keep the things you need.

Be respectful of everything. I mean everything.

Research, research, research!

Sometimes the aesthetic is half the fun.

Your blood, your bones, your sweat, your tears; they are all deeply a part of you so long as you're tied to your body. They belong to you for a while, but they're on loan; use them wisely.

Know your present place; know your potential; they are not the same thing.

How To Dry Herbs

Work best for:

Air drying works best for low-moisture like marjoram, oregano, rosemary and dill.

What to do:

Trim fresh herbs at an angle to protect the rest of the plant. Put the bundle of herbs, stem-side up.

Hang or over a week, ideally in a cool, dark place.

Storage:

Herbs are best stored in airtight glass containers. They're uses range from cooking, tea, tincture, even decoration.

Drying:

Gather 5-10 branches together and tie with string or a rubber band. The smaller the bundle, the easier and faster they will dry.
