- Jake Richards (Dr. Buck) holds his Appalachian heritage close in his blood and bones. His family legacy in Appalachia goes back generations. Jake has practiced Appalachian folk magic for over a decade now, and serves his community as a conjure man, power doctor, and Yarb (herb) doctor. Jake has published three books on the subject (Backwoods Witchcraft: Conjure & Folk Magic from Appalachia, Doctoring the Devil: Notebooks of an Appalachian Conjure Man, and Ossman and Steel’s Classic Household Guide to Appalachian Folk Healing), a deck of divination cards (Conjure Cards) as well as contributions to Mat Auryn’s Mastering Magick and Llewellyn's Complete Book of North American Folk Magic: A Landscape of Magic, Mystery, and Tradition by Cory Hutcheson; and an article in Witchology Magazine, Samhain issue 2022.
This is a fantastic interview. It resonated deeply. You gained a follower! I have loved Jake Richards for years. Thank you for the information on other authors as well. I am excited to add them to my library.
Thankyou so much for your kind words, I hope you enjoy the other interviews. I'm hoping to get the podcast started back up, I took a hiatus to write a few more books myself so do stay tuned. Jake was a wonderful guest to have on and I loved what we ended up talking about on here
❤I love Jake’s interviews! I love ❤️ his Conjure Cards! He’s also a wonderful Appalachia medicine man story teller. He’s probably gonna be the last of his kind. He is so genuine and a old soul.
I really enjoyed my chat with him! Luckily, Appalacian folk magic is on the resurgence and there are many many conjureman and cunningfolk practicing down there, I highly recommend Cory Hutcheson's New World Witchery
@@BenStimpsonAuthor That is so fantastic to hear! I didn’t know there were that many! I will definitely find that author.
Many of the other guests I have on my podcast are revitilizing North American folk magic, it's a very exciting thing. Do check out my interview with Brandon Weston who is an Ozarker, and Matthew Venus who co-organizes a conference every year of modern folkloric practitioners @@dawn670
