Hi, my name is Leah Middleton. I’m an author, ancestor reconnecter, quilter & artist, and folk practitioner. I’m a southern Appalachian transplant from Western North Carolina currently residing in the Pacific Northwest.

“This book stands as a valuable addition to the growing library of works on the lived experiences of Appalachians and how folk magic continues to be a valuable part of their cultural identity. I hope, after you read this, that you feel as in love with this land and its citizens, both human and more than human, as I do. Long live Appalachia!”
—Rebecca Beyer, author of Wild Witchcraft

“An excellent resource for those interested in learning about the history behind Appalachian magic and medicine.”
