My mother could stop bleeding, shes done it many times. I called her from my job working as a RN, we had a man who we kept transfusing and we could not give him enough blood, she saved his life, Just with his name and a bible verse. She truly had a gift.
I know exactly what bible verse you are talking about. I've witnessed this first hand. I actually read the verse to my grandma to stop some pretty serious bleeding due to a hemorrhage. I was told that it must be read by someone of the opposite sex, and if you tell anyone the verse, then they should also be of the opposite sex. I was told it would cease to work if you told someone of the same sex what verse to read...but I have no idea if gender is actually a factor, but that's how I was taught. It's an amazing thing to witness!
@@WandaJ21 I don't mind sharing, but I'm hesitant to post in such plain view. Is there some way I can contact you directly to discuss it? And I'd like to add other thing...When I learned about this it was treated as a very serious and sacred thing. It was sort of implied that it was okay to share, but not in a haphazardly way. For this reason, I couldn't possibly answer everyone that might ask here.
@@jasontrent86 My great grandmother was a healer and saw things or knew things so to speak.. I did inherit some of her gifts. Just nothing about healing. Also, my aunt told me that great grandmother would bury things underneath a China Berry Tree. She didn’t know why. I looked up China berry tree and it’s known as Tree of Life. Our family originated from Portugal Liberian Peninsula area . and we were called Melungeons . So I know great grandmother knew plenty of the old ways .
This is awesome! I’m Kentuckian, from Rowan county and a lot of people are scared of healers because it looks like witchcraft. Witch is just a label that was put onto the healers and the medicine men and women, the church did it to scare the people because if the people don’t need your church to be healed, you’re out of business. My aunt says that she can be just as close to god in her front yard as family are in church. There was great potential in my family to be healers, but fear took away that gift from god. I’m 20, and I plan on keeping the gift alive and educating people and bringing healing back. Once you accept the gift, you unlock a world of opportunity, just never forget where your power comes from ^
I don't know about healing but if I'm cold I just think about my stomach and I can feel heat radiate from my core out. I can wear a t shirt out in -32 if I want. Certainly a less altruistic ability. We probably all have inate abilities. The bigger question is how do you know it is even there let alone tap into it?
My grandma took me to a woman who paid me a nickel for a wart on my elbow ..it was gone soon after..I was a small child .. when I grew up and had children two of my children had a wart on their foot and we prayed and commanded them to leave and cursed them at the root and commanded them to leave and in a few days they were gone. I am a RN who became a Naturopath. God's ways are perfect.
Amen. God is the great physician. We have to believe. Jesus was very clear what our part was in the equation. Religious people know the scripture but seem to miss the true application of it. FAITH.
My mawmaw was touched and could blow fire,cure earaches, talk off warts ,cure liver trouble,cure asthma with a growing stick,and she delivered babies,and I've stopped blood through Ezekiel 16;6
My great grandfather Wagner was German-American, Powwow doctor who specialized in healing animals. He had a remarkable record of successful healing farm animals. Grandmother said he would sit and talk to the animal with his hands on it and usually by morning, it was up and moving around. So much for the need of the person being healed to believe in the healing for it to be successful. The cow or horse could not understand, much less be a partner in its healing. People in their community of Western North Carolina would marvel at his skill and he never took a penny for what he did as it was "God's work." A traditional Powwow can never take money for a healing or his/her power will be lost forever. I have seen similar healing s of humans and animals from modern Powwows and believe it is a human ability that certain people have and, if properly used, can benefit humankind. Sadly, like many Powwows, he could not heal himself and died of facial cancer, in pain and disfigured. It was a sad fate for someone who brought so much good to others. He was a staunch Lutheran and deeply Christian man who believed he was doing divine sanctioned work.
why are you saying powwow..is this the name for the healer? im wondering where this name came from? alls i am familiar w is the powwow get togethers of the plains indians where they do dances and play big round drums
@@saradean6592 It's called Pow wow medicine/healing, but may have been a combination of American Indian, German, Dutch, & other European folk "ways" passed on too.
@@saradean6592 The story of the common American name for Braucherei comes from a misinterpretation of what the native Americans witnessed when they saw German colonists healers and felt it resembled the activities of their own medicine people. They gave it the name Powwowing and it, being easier for non-Germans to pronounce than Braucherei, became commonplace in describing these healing practices. Hope this helps.
Since I was a baby, my dad told me that he could stop blood and that one day he would tell me how. Last summer, he gave me an early present for my 16th birthday and decided to teach me. He also told me about a coworker he had that could take away the pain from burns. That man is now deceased but my biggest dream would be to find someone like him willing to teach me.
We can all be Healers when we are open to receiving the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit. Here in Appalachia Virginia people do their thing their folk Magic but they will always say it was for Jesus. Not up to me to decide where the heart is but I believe it's all in good intentions but we must be wise not to let in some of the darkness. Blessed Be
Please do more of these videos. I think they are so important and need to be remembered. I know I lived in the mountains of TN and was a healer in a former life. I feel it so strongly and even when I was a little girl I knew the mountains knew me. My Grandmother was a pediatric nurse and somehow became a midwife and delivered babies in the mountains of NC. Please do more about the healers.
Originally I'm from KY, but I too have this "gift", my dad has it and his father did as well from what I've been told. I've never known what to consider this gift as... Those who don't understand and have fear of it consider it dark magic or witch craft, I just learned very early in life to sorta keep it to myself unless need be different. I stumbled apon this and found it fascinating knowing others consider this to be a gift from god sets me at ease, I never wanted to think it was from a darker side... Thank you for this video.
It's sad that folks consider the ability to heal as being witch craft or Devil Worship.. There are Churches in Appalachia that TEACH "LAYING ON OF HANDS" FOR HEALING. There is no difference whether it is a Church Deacon or the Fellow who lives in a cabin by the Creek..... the ability to heal is a Gift from God. God heals. Did you ever hear of the Devil healing anyone? No, you haven't. All things are from God, the injury and the healing. When a person is healed, they need to give Praise to God for the healing. The "Healer" is the method that God uses to give the Healing to the person. It is a very simple concept. When you or a loved one is injured or ill, do you pray to God for a Healing? Then WHY IS IT that when you are told someone is a HEALER and can HEAL the injury or disease, WHY don't you just welcome the healing as an ANSWER FROM GOD? IF YOU are the HEALER, EMBRACE this GIFT that God has given to YOU. God didn't choose everyone else. .. GOD CHOSE YOU.
I am 31 years old I am from north Georgia and as a child my mawmaw made my warts go away I always remembered that as I aged so now that I have 4 children 2 of my 4 had warts on their fingers my daughter even had one on her knee and one on her nose ...even tho I could not remember the words my mawmaw said I did remember one thing and that was her telling me to pay them no mind to forget about them.i have successfully made both of my children’s warts disappear(5 in total),someone had a benign tumor on their forehead that had been there for years upon years I successfully made that go away....I have been trying to find others like me so I can learn more about my gifts and understand fully what I am capable of helping others heal from!this is the closest I’ve gotten to finally understanding exactly what my purpose here on earth is!i feel so honored that god chose me as a healer....I always knew I was different just never have been able to figure out in what way or why I was!thank you for making this and allowing me to find y’all!
That is amazing. I am still doing research and working on more films. I am so glad that I was able to get you some information. I would love to talk to you more about it. Thanks!
I'm so glad my niece and 1 granddaughter put their bottles on the trees. Some of the traditions still are carried on. I was born in Alabama but New Orleans became home for 50yrs. Now in Georgia and only seen a couple bottle trees.
My grandmother cured warts by rubbing them with a piece of straw, saying some words, then burying the straw. My mother said she seen her mama do it many times.
I have lived in Carter County Kentucky, my entire life, I am 71 years old, I have seen my Grandmother many times Pray for these types of needs. she never did any type of what i call charm she was very stern on saying that the power of the Lord healed them not her. she had a prayer for each need that people had I tried to get her to tell me how but she would only say maby someday, one day after i grew up and gave my life to the Lord Jesus she took me aside and told me what to pray. I have seen her pray for people that were dying and they were healed, she never took credit for it or charged anyone for it , I know this works as i have seen it many times . i realize many people call us here in Appalachia all sorts of names . i do not have to convence anyone I have seen it with my own eyes.
My dad was not from Appalachia, but he was from North Carolina (Gastonia). He said there was a man near where he lived who would heal warts. My dad said he had some warts when he was a teenager. He said they tried the usual treatments you could get at a drug store and none worked. He said his dad took him to the healer. The guy touched his hand and said the warts would go away. Dad said they were gone in a week or two. My dad’s brother verified the story and said he too went to see a healer and experienced the same outcome.
My mother's 2nd husband could heal / remove warts. All I know was he tied a string around the wart. Then a knot and told the person not to think about it anymore. Before too long the wart was gone. I don't know what he did with the string after that. He did tell us he couldn't tell anyone or else it wouldn't work anymore. He passed away a few years ago. I don't know if he shared the gift with anyone else before he died or not. All I know is it wasn't with me.
Thank you so much for this video & for collecting these marvelous accounts. I found you because I was searching for Appalachian faith healers similar to my great-great-Granny, who lived in the Great Smoky Mountains. She would travel on the train to visit my mom's family in California when my mom was a little girl. She had been raised as a healer, had never cut her hair and never let it touch the ground. It could only be washed with rain water, and she needed multiple people to hold it up and wash it with her. When the family would hear she was coming, they would put big basins out in the yard hoping to collect enough water to wash while she was there. My mom recounted to me how her Great-Granny would cure her warts by rubbing them and saying Bible verses over them, similar to what is recounted here. But just like the folks in this video said, my grandparents didn't take her all that seriously, and she wasn't able to pass on her knowledge that I know of. My mom had many experiences that say to me that she had the "gift," but her parents wouldn't talk to her about it because they thought it was some kind of devilry or "voodoo"
My great grandmother had the gift. It had to be passed on to the opposite sex. My grandfather "her son" could remove warts, and rob a bee hive without protection. I don't think he did all the things she could do.
I have five University degrees, two of them terminal degrees. With all that, one of my greatest fears and source of sadness in life is the loss of folk medicine and the Deep spiritual connection to self and community that is being lost each generation. My family made damn sure to recognize and encourage the gift in the young ones. I pray that God makes our spiritual gifts known, connects us with good mentors, and harbors Us in flourishing community.
Oh my God, I've been looking into this for years with no luck. I'm from Cleveland/Helen GA and my great aunt "conjured" me with poison ivy years ago before she died and she passed it on to my uncle. I never knew what it was, but I recently heard a podcast about the Pensilvania Dutch Pow-Wow doctors and it blew my mind, because it was literally the same thing. If you wanna know more about anything I experienced, I'd love to chat. Cheers!
I was born with a veil and have always seen stuff plus do blessings. I've done a few healing. I was born in Alabama and they say I got this from my mawmaw. My husband says it's witchcraft. We've been married for 8yrs. He's from Georgia and very Bible belt religious. We are both in our 60s. I finally figured it out to not tell him anything else. He's just mad that I can't heal myself or certain things for him. I tell him my gift doesn't work like that so he calls me a witch. I have family that are scared of me and that he says is proof I'm evil. My family is scared cause they have seen me do things and only don't want me to tell them if I know they're going to pass. So my gift was a daughter had to have surgery on her wrist but she came to visit and I blessed it. When she went to get surgery the doctor told her that there was nothing wrong.I always get very ill after doing them. I had to have emergency surgery on my stomach. Anyway I'm sorry for as they say,"Talking your ear off." But this video was awesome.
I think you need to get far, far away from your husband. Any husband that is calling you evil and calling you a witch when in reality you're a healer is an unhinged Bible banger. He is a danger to your emotional health, and very possibly to your physical health. Please be very careful as long as you're around him, but know that you shouldn't have to hide your gift for anyone.
@@cb142 You're welcome. At the ripe old age of 18 plus 3 weeks I became a battered wife, so I'm something of an expert on the subject. I hope you will ask your daughter or whomever else are in yore support system to help you escape safely. Leaving, and right after you leave, are the most dangerous times for abused women. You need to get out while you can. Sending you strength, understanding, and lots of long distance hugs.
@@greeneyedlady5580 Awww baby girl I wish I could leave. I've had abusive relationships in my life and was always able to get out. He's narcissistic and I'm empathic. Aries and I'm Virgo. We've been married 8yrs but he's got my family and friends to where I no longer see them.
My grandmother had a lot of this happen in her family. My uncle her youngest son was eat up with warts on both hands when he was a young boy and they tried and tried to get rid of them. The doctor had seen him and they just had no luck with them he ended up with them for months. One day grandpa gave grandma the okay and she loaded him in the car and took him to the seventh son of a family on the bottom of the mountain and took him inside and the man bought my uncle's warts too! Grandma said the same thing to not pay no attention to them and they'd go and sure enough about a week or so later they were gone! My family has the gift of healing now and a strong decernment and I truly believe these are gifts from the Holy Spirit through the Lord Jesus! Anyone our whole lives who done these sort of things were usually always strong believers. It's so cool to hear this from someone else! We have so many things that have happened people would never probably believe unless they've seen them but they happened! I really loved this video! I pray the knowledge and gifts like the old timers had stays alive here in SWVA! After listening to more now it's almost like the lady in the video is talking about the same family! The story of the warts and then also I know a story from the same family. The seventh son healing a baby from thrush! She didn't mention this part yet but he reached down and I believe blew into the babies mouth and that thrush was gone!
The thing is the believers must acknowledge that it's from God, that He's the one doing the healing, the helping, whatever it is, and all the credit and glory goes to HIM. If not, then it is witchcraft and not from God but from Satan. I've heard stories all my life in Western KY about this. My grandfather was a water witch. I, too, can water witch. Neither of us could ever wear a watch. It would stop immediately when we put it on. I loved him and it pains me to say it but he most likely was not a Christian. I do not know but God did. Suffice it to say, he was not a good, faithful man to my grandmother. He wasn't a healer, just a water witch. My great grandfather was a good, Godly man and a preacher. He did believe in the signs and taught my mother to use them. I used them to break both my daughters from the bottle, to potty train them, etc. Idk how it works, but it works. I'm still torn on this as so many attribute the healing as their success and take credit for it. Even Satan knows scripture and as the Bible says, he can pose as an Angel of light. There is no true power except that of Jesus Christ. It's important that we all remember that.
There are about 3,000 different faiths on Earth, and every single one of them has followers who are healers. If you want to credit Jesus for your abilities that's fine, but nobody else has to do so, just because you say it. Your faith doesn't deserve any less respect than you're showing those other 2,999 faiths. It also didn't deserve any more.
My grandson was just learning to walk and we were heating the house with a kerosene heater. He fell against it and burned his hand badly . I was at work and so was my husband and son . They called my son and husband they rushed home and took him to the E R . They treated his burn saying it was second and third degree burns . They took him home and went back to work .I came home and fixed supper and the baby was csobbing in pain .My husband and son came in and told us put supper in the oven and wrap the baby and we headed off to their boss's house he meet us at the door and took the baby. He took him over in the corner and for a few minutes and brought him back , the baby had stopped crying. We went home I put supper out and sat the baby in the highchair . He started beating his little bandaged hand on the tray and the bandage started coming off. I was going to rewrap it but when I took it off there was no burn only a small place the size of a dime in the palm of his hand and it was only red. Now I hadn't seen the burn but everyone else had said that his whole hand had been burn and that the skin was coming off before they got him to the ER. I had heard of stories about people stopping blood and taking out burns and warts but I saw this.
I'm from North GA & when I was a kid had warts on my hands. My mom took me to a dermatologist & he cut & burnt my warts. They came back & mom took me to a man we all called Poppa Barton & he conjured my warts. Told me to forget about them & after a couple weeks I looked down & they were gone. I remember he would put his hand in the pocket of his blazer jacket & when he pulled his hand out he'd be rubbing his finger & thumb together. He'd rub my warts & be mumbling something then do it to the rest of my warts. Also my mom knew a lady that could conjure Thrush & all she needed was the baby's full name & date of birth. I know a girl in North Carolina that can talk the fire out of a burn. A friends son got burned & I messaged the girl. She'd never tried it not being with the person & wasn't sure it'd work. I called my friend & got her sons full name & date of birth. My friend hadn't never heard of healers & was skeptical. Minutes after my NC friend let me know she was done the boys mom called me & told me I don't know what she did but it worked.
Lucy, I grew up in rural East Central Mississippi, and my father would often regal me with tales of an older gentleman who had this particular gift. My father told me this; "If you were the firstborn son of a firstborn son, and your father died before you were born", you had the 'gift' of witching off warts. He said he saw a child healed in front of his eyes once of a painful wart on his knee, and he went to this man in their community to get his own warts witched off as a kid. This would have been around 1950 or so and my dad swears it happened. I found your documentary looking for information on witching warts. I think "dousing" and "water witching" are closely related to this art. My dad told us kids of a local man who could witch water with a forked stick, and the stick would literally rip itself downward in his hand, even though he was white knuckling it trying to keep it from moving.
My grandaddy could water witch too. I remember him trying to teach me when I was about 5-6 yrs old, but I guess I didn't have the gift. He found his own well on his property, & I remember the family digging it by hand. It's still producing today.
My uncle wished for water for his neighbors with a forked willow stick. He could not only tell them where to dig their wells, but how deep they would have to dig before they would hit water. He brought his stick over one day when I was about 14. My father and one of my siblings who takes after his side of the family couldn't do it. I, my mother, and my sister who also takes after my mother's side of the family, were all able to do it. When walking over what my father later told us was a main water line, the stick was whipping up and down so hard it almost hit me in the head.
My Great Grandmother was a seventh daughter and could perform many feats of healing. She could remove inner heat from heat stroke with iron scissors, stop bleeding while whispering bible verses and the main thing she did was remove thrush from infants by holding them upside down and blowing into their mouths. People from all over would bring their babies to see her.
My Stepgrandfather rubbed a wart under my right arm when I was a girl. It went away. I grew up in Tennessee and I believe that he did, too. He said he was the seventh son...actually ir seems like he said the seventh son of a seventh son. Thank you so much for this !
I am from SC and my grandpa could talk away warts (I’ve seen that first hand), he could take the burn away and he also talked away a woman’s birthmark that covered her face. He said it was a Bible verse he repeated but that he could only tell so many people. I would have loved to know it but he had shared the gift with the people he could. My bff has a sister that does it. I suffer from migraines and I really want to have her see if she can talk the pain away.
My grandpa used the penny trick when I was little. I had a wart on my thumb. I’ll never forget what he did, it was & still is the wildest thing to me. I’m 24 and still haven’t forgotten it. But Iver never heard anyone else do it or have it happen. Within a week or so, it was COMPLETELY gone! He rubbed my hands, pushed the penny hard over the wart and whispered. I just wish I knew what he did/said.
This was very good. my dad people are from Kentucky, Leslie County area, his dad's father's ( grandpa) brother was the 7th son of a 7th son and was known to heal folks, I heard stories about him being able to remove warts etc. so this video really hit home for me. thank you for posting this
I drove to the middle of no where to get my daughters “bought” she had 50 plus we had been to dermatologist ect for years. He bought the, and in two weeks they were gone
Pennsylvania born, lived in c.a. the last 8 years, moving to western N.C in a few months and eager to learn these folk traditions. Any suggestions are welcome! :)
My great grandfather was said to be able to remove warts via a bible verse and some sort of small ritual. His grandmother was said to have a gift to stop bleeding. Supposedly it skips generations and rotates genders. My great gramps told my grandmother that her first daughter would have the gift but she doesn't use it. I'd love to learn more about this, and "healers" in general if you have any info!
I had brain surgery and woke up with motion sickness which is much worse than being dizzy. My Neurosurgeon was in his 80's & called an acupuncturist to come to the hospital to see me because there wasn't anything medical that could stop the tilt a whirl spinning & turning. The acupuncturist did place needles in my body but she asked me to trust her and she blew in my ear & around it 6 or 7 times and whispered & moved her hand in circles. After her 2nd treatment I was 80% better & could open my eyes. My Neurosurgeon said it would take 6-8 months to get better if she couldn't help me. When I thanked her & my Neurosurgeon they both told me to thank God.
@@lucygroves7158 I am one and from the south. alabama I have spent the last 6 years understanding what the gifts are and how to use and to teach others freely
I am so happy I found this! I have lived in VA my whole life and I saw a Man take the fire out of a burn! It was my mother that had a bad burn and she was in so much pain absolutely nothing helped the pain it was sad to see... My uncle said he knew a man that could take the fire out of the burn... so we were all like go get him! He brought the man to us.. The Man said we could stay in the room or leave it doesn't matter... Anyway I don't know what he was saying cuz I couldn't understand it but as soon as he got done my Mama smiled and said it worked and she didn't have any more pain from it at all!!! We were so amazed and tried to pay him but he wouldn't take it!! He said he was the seventh son of the seventh son,, and they were the ones that could do that!! I never forgot that!!!
It may be important to note that God's infinitude does not limit the gift to family lineage. I have heard of all sorts of ways people discover spiritual gifts inside themselves, different ways God calls them to serve. Some people are just born that way
My Great Grandfather was said to have had many of the abilities described in this video. He practiced his healing craft in North Georgia back in the first half of the last centrury. I always thought of him as a faith healer but one of my cousins said that the local people called him a Conjure Man.
When I was a boy growing up in rural west GA, a family friend came over to conjure a wart on my finger. He gave me instructions to follow, then said if I told anyone what he told me to do, the wart would come back. Well, a week passed and the wart peeled off, revealing new skin underneath. Of course I was excited and told my best friend what the conjurer had told me to do. And you guessed it, a couple weeks later another wart popped up on the next finger over. Mama called him back to the house, and as soon as he walked in, he looked at me and said, "You told someone, din'tcha?" Haha! He gave me different instructions that time, I followed them, the wart came off in a week, and I have kept my mouth shut for 35 years!
Every folk magic around the world I hear, they say you aren't supposed to say anything or speak about the spell. Interesting. Hope no warts pop up now lol
I was born and raised in Appalachia, my dad was a coal miner. Though there was good things about my youth, I neve.r for one minute, thought I could live my life there. Why? I didn't want to be a miner or work on the railroad. I wanted ti make a living primarily using my brain, not my back. I liked technology, math and science. And I disliked superstitions, the magical thinking and ignorance that was all too common there. So at 18, I left and joined the 20th Century. I spend 4 years in the service learning and working with electronics and avionics. Then I was unemployed for just 2 days and started working on computers when not one person in a thousand had ever seen a computer. I did that for 30+ years. I did very well accent and all. I retired at 54. I never once, not for one minute worried that I'd lose my job, be in explosion, go on strike or not be able to provide from my family. I just never saw much to admire, surely there were some great teachers there and others who saw beyond that small world but not nearly enough of them. Now it's the 21 Century and it's worse, coal is on its last legs. And now it's "conjuring" what Century is that?
My aunt could talk warts and fire out. We’re from Rowan county NC. Not sure if she passed it on to anyone before she died but I hope so. It’s sad to think this kind of gift is dying out.
My Daddy had diverticulitis and was in ICU bleeding to death. They couldn't transfuse him fast enough. He was bad shape. The bleeding slowed a bit and they did an exploratory surgery and when they found the bleeding, they were to cut his intestines to get rid of that bad part, the bleeding part and put in a colostomy bag. They were to come out tells us before they actually did any cutting. Well, I was running late at usual. I had wanted to get there before they took him down and put him to sleep. But since I couldn't get there in time, I called him. I read to him the verse over the phone and I told him I knew it would work. His Momma, my Granny stopped bleeding many times. So he knew it would work to. I made it to the hospital and they eventually came to tell us what they'd found before they went to cutting on him. Well they said one of the dumbest thing I ever heard. They couldn't find a bit of bleeding anywhere in him. Their reason for that," the air we put into his intestines, plugged the hole up and temporarily stopped the bleeding but 'we think we know the spot' and that's what we're going to cut out." I kick myself every day for not forbidding them to cut him. That bleeding had been stopped by God. Air doesn't plug a hole for crying outloud. He had complications and leaking and infections and all kinds of problems with that surgery. He still has the bag. He isn't married and I'm the eldest child and I should have stopped them and told them sew him back up and get out of there, they're done. But I didn't and he still has that bag and so much scar tissue from many surgeries that he may have it forever. I should have stood up for God that day and said no surgery, no bag since there's no bleeding. Glory to God for stopping that bleeding. It wasn't me. It was God.
I didn’t know men could do this. I always heard that the gift could only be passed to women. My great grandmother and my mom can do these things. Always heard that once the gift is passed on, the one before looses the ability. I’ve always hoped to find a healer that could help with my autoimmune or psoriasis but I suppose that’s not part of it. I’ve been thankful for my mom’s gifts many times and she’s used it for my daughter as well, living 2 hrs away.
My grand mother’s elder sister could take people’s warts away. We are from western north carolina. I also heard of relatives who could stop nose bleeds
My great grandmother had the ability to stop bleeding. When my grandmother told me this, she said "There's a verse in the Bible she spoke, but I can't tell you the verse. The information can only be passed from male to female or female to male" in order to pass on the gift".
momma said her aunt opal drew fire out of my sis hand when she's was a toddler and burnt she spoke something over it. heard that from momma too about blood verse too in bible a man can tell a woman and a woman can tell a man.
Lucy, I am a script writer and I am building a theater in Dahlonega Ga. I am also married to a man who's family is many generations deep Appalachian natives. When my daughter (now 22) was 7 years old, she had a terrible case of poison ivy that topical medication and steroid shots would not heal. We had a conjurer in our church who laid her up on the pew and whispered over her. The poison ivy was gone by that night. I want to write a stage play about this beautiful and fading practice. Would you be willing to contact me? Thanks, Neva
My grandmother and her sister could take warts several different ways, fire talk, blow out thrush, & all sorts of things. I think I've somehow inherited things but don't have a clue other than what they told me when I was young. I have successfully gotten rid of a wart though. My grandfather on the other side was what they called a water witch, and people paid him to find water when they needed a well dug. I could do it too when I was little but I can't remember what kind of branch we had to use. Trying to learn as much as I can now before it's gone forever
I think that maybe Willow, which has a strong correspondence to Water, and intuition, would make a fine wood to use in Dowsing Rods. That's just a guess though, based on my own knowledge.
@@gabrieladerre2862 I have tried a lot of branches and looks like all will work, Just make sure the ground is not wet or after a rain storm, I witched my well with a pecon branch and found water at 92 feet and when drilled it turned out to be an artesion well with 400 to 500 gal per min. You can not believe the power of the branch when you do find water. I have tried Plum branch, Pecon branch, Peach branch and appercott branch and with these they all seam to work well.
I believe in this, but I believe it's a gift from GOD. I don't believe the person can heal you, but I believe it's the LORD working through the person that has the power to heal. It bothers me when there's people that are disrespectful and they decide to turn it into something evil. GOD knows your heart. He knows whether or not it's a blessing or a curse. I told my daughter the other day.....sometimes I can tell when someone is genuinely a good and an honest person and I can tell when they're not. Sometimes it's just by looking at there eyes or listening to them talk. It makes me not trust them. I know we're not supposed to judge people, but I do believe GOD gives us these instincts whether to trust certain people or not. Like for an example.... I do not believe we should go to a fortune teller or someone who uses voodoo or uses tarot cards. You need to stay away from things like that. I guess that's what I'm trying to say. GOD bless you.

My mother could stop bleeding, shes done it many times. I called her from my job working as a RN, we had a man who we kept transfusing and we could not give him enough blood, she saved his life, Just with his name and a bible verse. She truly had a gift.
My great grandmother used the Bible to heal too!! But she did most of it with no one watching
I know exactly what bible verse you are talking about. I've witnessed this first hand. I actually read the verse to my grandma to stop some pretty serious bleeding due to a hemorrhage. I was told that it must be read by someone of the opposite sex, and if you tell anyone the verse, then they should also be of the opposite sex. I was told it would cease to work if you told someone of the same sex what verse to read...but I have no idea if gender is actually a factor, but that's how I was taught. It's an amazing thing to witness!
@@jasontrent86 I’m a female can you please tell me the verse?
@@WandaJ21 I don't mind sharing, but I'm hesitant to post in such plain view. Is there some way I can contact you directly to discuss it?
And I'd like to add other thing...When I learned about this it was treated as a very serious and sacred thing. It was sort of implied that it was okay to share, but not in a haphazardly way. For this reason, I couldn't possibly answer everyone that might ask here.
@@jasontrent86 My great grandmother was a healer and saw things or knew things so to speak.. I did inherit some of her gifts. Just nothing about healing. Also, my aunt told me that great grandmother would bury things underneath a China Berry Tree. She didn’t know why. I looked up China berry tree and it’s known as Tree of Life. Our family originated from Portugal Liberian Peninsula area . and we were called Melungeons . So I know great grandmother knew plenty of the old ways .
This is awesome! I’m Kentuckian, from Rowan county and a lot of people are scared of healers because it looks like witchcraft. Witch is just a label that was put onto the healers and the medicine men and women, the church did it to scare the people because if the people don’t need your church to be healed, you’re out of business.
My aunt says that she can be just as close to god in her front yard as family are in church.
There was great potential in my family to be healers, but fear took away that gift from god. I’m 20, and I plan on keeping the gift alive and educating people and bringing healing back.
Once you accept the gift, you unlock a world of opportunity, just never forget where your power comes from ^
Good on ya. You're keeping the gift alive for another generation.
Dalton Hurst yep ky here too! It’s amazing
You'll make a great healer. After reading your post you are definitely wise beyond your years young man!!! Your aunts right...
I don't know about healing but if I'm cold I just think about my stomach and I can feel heat radiate from my core out. I can wear a t shirt out in -32 if I want. Certainly a less altruistic ability.
We probably all have inate abilities. The bigger question is how do you know it is even there let alone tap into it?
The laying on of hands for healing is in the Bible. It's a spiritual gift that focuses on the power of God rather than in your own power.
My grandma took me to a woman who paid me a nickel for a wart on my elbow ..it was gone soon after..I was a small child .. when I grew up and had children two of my children had a wart on their foot and we prayed and commanded them to leave and cursed them at the root and commanded them to leave and in a few days they were gone. I am a RN who became a Naturopath. God's ways are perfect.
Amen. God is the great physician. We have to believe. Jesus was very clear what our part was in the equation. Religious people know the scripture but seem to miss the true application of it. FAITH.
I have a wart- I’ll sell it to ya- I also have a bad burn spot and vitiligo!! Y’all can have it!
@@homesteaderfiftywmartha603 I’ll buy your wart.
Try tallow on your scar and vitiligo
My mawmaw was touched and could blow fire,cure earaches, talk off warts ,cure liver trouble,cure asthma with a growing stick,and she delivered babies,and I've stopped blood through Ezekiel 16;6

My great grandfather Wagner was German-American, Powwow doctor who specialized in healing animals. He had a remarkable record of successful healing farm animals. Grandmother said he would sit and talk to the animal with his hands on it and usually by morning, it was up and moving around. So much for the need of the person being healed to believe in the healing for it to be successful. The cow or horse could not understand, much less be a partner in its healing. People in their community of Western North Carolina would marvel at his skill and he never took a penny for what he did as it was "God's work." A traditional Powwow can never take money for a healing or his/her power will be lost forever. I have seen similar healing s of humans and animals from modern Powwows and believe it is a human ability that certain people have and, if properly used, can benefit humankind. Sadly, like many Powwows, he could not heal himself and died of facial cancer, in pain and disfigured. It was a sad fate for someone who brought so much good to others. He was a staunch Lutheran and deeply Christian man who believed he was doing divine sanctioned work.
why are you saying powwow..is this the name for the healer? im wondering where this name came from? alls i am familiar w is the powwow get togethers of the plains indians where they do dances and play big round drums
@@saradean6592 It's called Pow wow medicine/healing, but may have been a combination of American Indian, German, Dutch, & other European folk "ways" passed on too.
@@saradean6592 The story of the common American name for Braucherei comes from a misinterpretation of what the native Americans witnessed when they saw German colonists healers and felt it resembled the activities of their own medicine people. They gave it the name Powwowing and it, being easier for non-Germans to pronounce than Braucherei, became commonplace in describing these healing practices. Hope this helps.
Since I was a baby, my dad told me that he could stop blood and that one day he would tell me how. Last summer, he gave me an early present for my 16th birthday and decided to teach me. He also told me about a coworker he had that could take away the pain from burns. That man is now deceased but my biggest dream would be to find someone like him willing to teach me.
We can all be Healers when we are open to receiving the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit. Here in Appalachia Virginia people do their thing their folk Magic but they will always say it was for Jesus. Not up to me to decide where the heart is but I believe it's all in good intentions but we must be wise not to let in some of the darkness. Blessed Be
@Maw Esty Thistle
Well said. Blessed be to you as well 🙏
Would you elaborate as to what the 9 gifts of the Holy Spirit are?
@@tammycallahan9160 1 Cor chapter 12 lists them.
Please do more of these videos. I think they are so important and need to be remembered. I know I lived in the mountains of TN and was a healer in a former life. I feel it so strongly and even when I was a little girl I knew the mountains knew me. My Grandmother was a pediatric nurse and somehow became a midwife and delivered babies in the mountains of NC. Please do more about the healers.
I am planning on it. These stories are too important to not be documented. I would love to hear yours.
YES!! Please??!!..xox
It’s just a gift from god. All Christians have the ability and can be used in or out of church as god gives they anointing.
@@lucygroves7158 I love the Appalachian culture but please increase your recording volume.
Originally I'm from KY, but I too have this "gift", my dad has it and his father did as well from what I've been told. I've never known what to consider this gift as... Those who don't understand and have fear of it consider it dark magic or witch craft, I just learned very early in life to sorta keep it to myself unless need be different. I stumbled apon this and found it fascinating knowing others consider this to be a gift from god sets me at ease, I never wanted to think it was from a darker side... Thank you for this video.
It's sad that folks consider the ability to heal as being witch craft or Devil Worship..
There are Churches in Appalachia that TEACH "LAYING ON OF HANDS" FOR HEALING.
There is no difference whether it is a Church Deacon or the Fellow who lives in a cabin by the Creek..... the ability to heal is a Gift from God.
God heals.
Did you ever hear of the Devil healing anyone?
No, you haven't.
All things are from God, the injury and the healing.
When a person is healed, they need to give Praise to God for the healing.
The "Healer" is the method that God uses to give the Healing to the person.
It is a very simple concept.
When you or a loved one is injured or ill, do you pray to God for a Healing?
Then WHY IS IT that when you are told someone is a HEALER and can HEAL the injury or disease, WHY don't you just welcome the healing as an ANSWER FROM GOD?
IF YOU are the HEALER, EMBRACE this GIFT that God has given to YOU.
God didn't choose everyone else. ..
GOD CHOSE YOU.
If a preacher does, or attempts it in Church, it's from God.
If you do it in a different environment, it's from Satan.
Can you erase or remove bad memories and intrusive thoughts in a person's mind?
I am 31 years old I am from north Georgia and as a child my mawmaw made my warts go away I always remembered that as I aged so now that I have 4 children 2 of my 4 had warts on their fingers my daughter even had one on her knee and one on her nose ...even tho I could not remember the words my mawmaw said I did remember one thing and that was her telling me to pay them no mind to forget about them.i have successfully made both of my children’s warts disappear(5 in total),someone had a benign tumor on their forehead that had been there for years upon years I successfully made that go away....I have been trying to find others like me so I can learn more about my gifts and understand fully what I am capable of helping others heal from!this is the closest I’ve gotten to finally understanding exactly what my purpose here on earth is!i feel so honored that god chose me as a healer....I always knew I was different just never have been able to figure out in what way or why I was!thank you for making this and allowing me to find y’all!
That is amazing. I am still doing research and working on more films. I am so glad that I was able to get you some information. I would love to talk to you more about it.
Thanks!
Nope. We haven't disappeared. We are still in the hills of the Appalachians with our blue and green bottles in the trees!🔮🌬🔥😘
YES we are ✌💖⭐
Not all are in Appalachia - some have moved ♥
@@BeautyWithTiffy Glad to know the magic and healing is spreading. Wish you all best in your home away from home.

@@cb142 What do the bottles mean?
My great grandmother was a wort talker,a fire talker and could heal thrush. I know people who have had her to save them. I wish I had been gifted.
That is amazing to hear. Would you be willing to share your story with me?
@@insignificant4264 That's not faith in Christ; That's magic.
@@insignificant4264 can you tell me how to heal?
I have thrush and parasites. After i went to jail.
@@insignificant4264 Ezekiel 16:6 for bleeding. My father could do things like that. Draw fire too. He took all the warts off my hands.
My grandmother cured warts by rubbing them with a piece of straw, saying some words, then burying the straw. My mother said she seen her mama do it many times.
I have lived in Carter County Kentucky, my entire life, I am 71 years old, I have seen my Grandmother many times Pray for these types of needs. she never did any type of what i call charm she was very stern on saying that the power of the Lord healed them not her. she had a prayer for each need that people had I tried to get her to tell me how but she would only say maby someday, one day after i grew up and gave my life to the Lord Jesus she took me aside and told me what to pray. I have seen her pray for people that were dying and they were healed, she never took credit for it or charged anyone for it , I know this works as i have seen it many times . i realize many people call us here in Appalachia all sorts of names . i do not have to convence anyone I have seen it with my own eyes.
My dad was not from Appalachia, but he was from North Carolina (Gastonia). He said there was a man near where he lived who would heal warts. My dad said he had some warts when he was a teenager. He said they tried the usual treatments you could get at a drug store and none worked. He said his dad took him to the healer. The guy touched his hand and said the warts would go away. Dad said they were gone in a week or two. My dad’s brother verified the story and said he too went to see a healer and experienced the same outcome.
My mother's 2nd husband could heal / remove warts. All I know was he tied a string around the wart. Then a knot and told the person not to think about it anymore. Before too long the wart was gone. I don't know what he did with the string after that. He did tell us he couldn't tell anyone or else it wouldn't work anymore. He passed away a few years ago. I don't know if he shared the gift with anyone else before he died or not. All I know is it wasn't with me.
Thank you so much for this video & for collecting these marvelous accounts. I found you because I was searching for Appalachian faith healers similar to my great-great-Granny, who lived in the Great Smoky Mountains. She would travel on the train to visit my mom's family in California when my mom was a little girl. She had been raised as a healer, had never cut her hair and never let it touch the ground. It could only be washed with rain water, and she needed multiple people to hold it up and wash it with her. When the family would hear she was coming, they would put big basins out in the yard hoping to collect enough water to wash while she was there. My mom recounted to me how her Great-Granny would cure her warts by rubbing them and saying Bible verses over them, similar to what is recounted here. But just like the folks in this video said, my grandparents didn't take her all that seriously, and she wasn't able to pass on her knowledge that I know of. My mom had many experiences that say to me that she had the "gift," but her parents wouldn't talk to her about it because they thought it was some kind of devilry or "voodoo"
My great grandmother had the gift. It had to be passed on to the opposite sex. My grandfather "her son" could remove warts, and rob a bee hive without protection. I don't think he did all the things she could do.
I would rather my disease be treated by a rubbin’ doctor than any modern hospital.
I Love this! Without a Doubt these people have the Spirit of Christ within them. God Bless you All 🙏
I have five University degrees, two of them terminal degrees. With all that, one of my greatest fears and source of sadness in life is the loss of folk medicine and the Deep spiritual connection to self and community that is being lost each generation. My family made damn sure to recognize and encourage the gift in the young ones. I pray that God makes our spiritual gifts known, connects us with good mentors, and harbors Us in flourishing community.
Thank you for this. I live in northeast TN and it's been too long since I've heard people talk about these things.
I live in NE TN too. Jefferson County. These stories remind me of my family that’s gone on.
Oh my God, I've been looking into this for years with no luck. I'm from Cleveland/Helen GA and my great aunt "conjured" me with poison ivy years ago before she died and she passed it on to my uncle. I never knew what it was, but I recently heard a podcast about the Pensilvania Dutch Pow-Wow doctors and it blew my mind, because it was literally the same thing. If you wanna know more about anything I experienced, I'd love to chat. Cheers!
Do you know of anyone that can erase or remove bad memories or bad thoughts from a person's mind?
I was born with a veil and have always seen stuff plus do blessings. I've done a few healing. I was born in Alabama and they say I got this from my mawmaw. My husband says it's witchcraft. We've been married for 8yrs. He's from Georgia and very Bible belt religious. We are both in our 60s. I finally figured it out to not tell him anything else. He's just mad that I can't heal myself or certain things for him. I tell him my gift doesn't work like that so he calls me a witch. I have family that are scared of me and that he says is proof I'm evil. My family is scared cause they have seen me do things and only don't want me to tell them if I know they're going to pass. So my gift was a daughter had to have surgery on her wrist but she came to visit and I blessed it. When she went to get surgery the doctor told her that there was nothing wrong.I always get very ill after doing them. I had to have emergency surgery on my stomach. Anyway I'm sorry for as they say,"Talking your ear off." But this video was awesome.
Healing is one of the prophetic gifts mentioned in the Bible. Check out Global Awakening healing ministry online.
I think you need to get far, far away from your husband. Any husband that is calling you evil and calling you a witch when in reality you're a healer is an unhinged Bible banger. He is a danger to your emotional health, and very possibly to your physical health. Please be very careful as long as you're around him, but know that you shouldn't have to hide your gift for anyone.
@@greeneyedlady5580 Thank you. You hit the nail on the head.

My mama told me her school bus driver in Augusta, GA talked warts from her hands. He laid hands on her hands and talked to them. Then they went away.
Wow so important. Made me cry. Thank you for this!
My grandmother had a lot of this happen in her family. My uncle her youngest son was eat up with warts on both hands when he was a young boy and they tried and tried to get rid of them. The doctor had seen him and they just had no luck with them he ended up with them for months. One day grandpa gave grandma the okay and she loaded him in the car and took him to the seventh son of a family on the bottom of the mountain and took him inside and the man bought my uncle's warts too! Grandma said the same thing to not pay no attention to them and they'd go and sure enough about a week or so later they were gone! My family has the gift of healing now and a strong decernment and I truly believe these are gifts from the Holy Spirit through the Lord Jesus! Anyone our whole lives who done these sort of things were usually always strong believers. It's so cool to hear this from someone else! We have so many things that have happened people would never probably believe unless they've seen them but they happened! I really loved this video! I pray the knowledge and gifts like the old timers had stays alive here in SWVA!
After listening to more now it's almost like the lady in the video is talking about the same family! The story of the warts and then also I know a story from the same family. The seventh son healing a baby from thrush! She didn't mention this part yet but he reached down and I believe blew into the babies mouth and that thrush was gone!
My grand mom from Clarksville, Georgia was a healer. She healed warts and took the fire out of our burns. She was a very godly woman.
The thing is the believers must acknowledge that it's from God, that He's the one doing the healing, the helping, whatever it is,
and all the credit and glory goes to HIM. If not, then it is witchcraft and not from God but from Satan.
I've heard stories all my life in Western KY about this. My grandfather was a water witch. I, too, can water witch. Neither of us could ever wear a watch. It would stop immediately when we put it on. I loved him and it pains me to say it but he most likely was not a Christian. I do not know but God did. Suffice it to say, he was not a good, faithful man to my grandmother. He wasn't a healer, just a water witch. My great grandfather was a good, Godly man and a preacher. He did believe in the signs and taught my mother to use them. I used them to break both my daughters from the bottle, to potty train them, etc. Idk how it works, but it works.
I'm still torn on this as so many attribute the healing as their success and take credit for it. Even Satan knows scripture and as the Bible says, he can pose as an Angel of light. There is no true power except that of Jesus Christ. It's important that we all remember that.
There are about 3,000 different faiths on Earth, and every single one of them has followers who are healers. If you want to credit Jesus for your abilities that's fine, but nobody else has to do so, just because you say it. Your faith doesn't deserve any less respect than you're showing those other 2,999 faiths. It also didn't deserve any more.
I'm sorry but you outting your dead grandpa for cheating in a TH-cam comment is kind of sending me right now, wonderful video though!
Excellent, thank you so much Lucy.
I love the Appalachians beautiful . Hello from California .
My grandson was just learning to walk and we were heating the house with a kerosene heater. He fell against it and burned his hand badly . I was at work and so was my husband and son . They called my son and husband they rushed home and took him to the E R . They treated his burn saying it was second and third degree burns . They took him home and went back to work .I came home and fixed supper and the baby was csobbing in pain .My husband and son came in and told us put supper in the oven and wrap the baby and we headed off to their boss's house he meet us at the door and took the baby. He took him over in the corner and for a few minutes and brought him back , the baby had stopped crying. We went home I put supper out and sat the baby in the highchair . He started beating his little bandaged hand on the tray and the bandage started coming off. I was going to rewrap it but when I took it off there was no burn only a small place the size of a dime in the palm of his hand and it was only red. Now I hadn't seen the burn but everyone else had said that his whole hand had been burn and that the skin was coming off before they got him to the ER. I had heard of stories about people stopping blood and taking out burns and warts but I saw this.
Wow! That is an amazing story.
My grandmother was originally from rural MS and told me a lot of stories. This is one of the first time I’ve ever heard other people talk about it.
It is not often talked about, and that is why I feel my work is so important. I would love to hear more about your grandmother.
I'm from North GA & when I was a kid had warts on my hands. My mom took me to a dermatologist & he cut & burnt my warts. They came back & mom took me to a man we all called Poppa Barton & he conjured my warts. Told me to forget about them & after a couple weeks I looked down & they were gone. I remember he would put his hand in the pocket of his blazer jacket & when he pulled his hand out he'd be rubbing his finger & thumb together. He'd rub my warts & be mumbling something then do it to the rest of my warts. Also my mom knew a lady that could conjure Thrush & all she needed was the baby's full name & date of birth. I know a girl in North Carolina that can talk the fire out of a burn. A friends son got burned & I messaged the girl. She'd never tried it not being with the person & wasn't sure it'd work. I called my friend & got her sons full name & date of birth. My friend hadn't never heard of healers & was skeptical. Minutes after my NC friend let me know she was done the boys mom called me & told me I don't know what she did but it worked.
Lucy, I grew up in rural East Central Mississippi, and my father would often regal me with tales of an older gentleman who had this particular gift. My father told me this; "If you were the firstborn son of a firstborn son, and your father died before you were born", you had the 'gift' of witching off warts. He said he saw a child healed in front of his eyes once of a painful wart on his knee, and he went to this man in their community to get his own warts witched off as a kid. This would have been around 1950 or so and my dad swears it happened. I found your documentary looking for information on witching warts. I think "dousing" and "water witching" are closely related to this art. My dad told us kids of a local man who could witch water with a forked stick, and the stick would literally rip itself downward in his hand, even though he was white knuckling it trying to keep it from moving.
My grandaddy could water witch too. I remember him trying to teach me when I was about 5-6 yrs old, but I guess I didn't have the gift.
He found his own well on his property, & I remember the family digging it by hand. It's still producing today.
My uncle wished for water for his neighbors with a forked willow stick. He could not only tell them where to dig their wells, but how deep they would have to dig before they would hit water. He brought his stick over one day when I was about 14. My father and one of my siblings who takes after his side of the family couldn't do it. I, my mother, and my sister who also takes after my mother's side of the family, were all able to do it. When walking over what my father later told us was a main water line, the stick was whipping up and down so hard it almost hit me in the head.
Thank you so much for documenting this and sharing it with us. It's simply wonderful!
This is fantastic. Thank you for putting this out.
My Great Grandmother was a seventh daughter and could perform many feats of healing. She could remove inner heat from heat stroke with iron scissors, stop bleeding while whispering bible verses and the main thing she did was remove thrush from infants by holding them upside down and blowing into their mouths. People from all over would bring their babies to see her.
I wish we could actually hear it.
Really useful and well made documentary, thank you.
Thank you!
My Stepgrandfather rubbed a wart under my right arm when I was a girl. It went away. I grew up in Tennessee and I believe that he did, too. He said he was the seventh son...actually ir seems like he said the seventh son of a seventh son. Thank you so much for this !
My papaw was the 7th son of a 7th son and he could cure thrush too.
I wish the volume was louder. I have my new laptop turned all the way up and can barely hear it. Love this kind of stuff.
I am from SC and my grandpa could talk away warts (I’ve seen that first hand), he could take the burn away and he also talked away a woman’s birthmark that covered her face. He said it was a Bible verse he repeated but that he could only tell so many people. I would have loved to know it but he had shared the gift with the people he could. My bff has a sister that does it. I suffer from migraines and I really want to have her see if she can talk the pain away.
This reminds me of the Foxfire series.
A great set of books if you can find them!
I've been trying to find them for years.
The volume is too low on this film.
These gifts are passed down to children or grandchildren. They are not evil. Good intentions and love help the gift work.
My great grandmother from North Carolina could heal thrush with words & lit candles.
This is just fascinating. Thank you..
Grew up in Dahlonega, GA, and met many people with gifts. All were native to the area, and an older generation.
Yes it works by the grace of the Oh mighty
My grandpa used the penny trick when I was little. I had a wart on my thumb. I’ll never forget what he did, it was & still is the wildest thing to me. I’m 24 and still haven’t forgotten it. But Iver never heard anyone else do it or have it happen. Within a week or so, it was COMPLETELY gone! He rubbed my hands, pushed the penny hard over the wart and whispered. I just wish I knew what he did/said.
THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS!!!!
Thanks so much for sharing this, really enjoyed it. We've had this in our family, and others here in our area(Southeast Missouri) could heal as well.
its not dying with the old generations,,, its passed on through generations.. the "gift" is very much alive...
This was very good. my dad people are from Kentucky, Leslie County area, his dad's father's ( grandpa) brother was the 7th son of a 7th son and was known to heal folks, I heard stories about him being able to remove warts etc. so this video really hit home for me. thank you for posting this
Thank you for sharing this!💚
I drove to the middle of no where to get my daughters “bought” she had 50 plus we had been to dermatologist ect for years. He bought the, and in two weeks they were gone
Pennsylvania born, lived in c.a. the last 8 years, moving to western N.C in a few months and eager to learn these folk traditions. Any suggestions are welcome! :)
My great grandfather was said to be able to remove warts via a bible verse and some sort of small ritual. His grandmother was said to have a gift to stop bleeding. Supposedly it skips generations and rotates genders. My great gramps told my grandmother that her first daughter would have the gift but she doesn't use it. I'd love to learn more about this, and "healers" in general if you have any info!
I would have really enjoyed this video if I could hear what they were saying.
OMG as soon as I finish typing that lady said something about the seventh son!! Wow!! I am so amazed!!
Amazing video ❤️❤️
THE VOLUME IS TOO LOW !!
I had brain surgery and woke up with motion sickness which is much worse than being dizzy. My Neurosurgeon was in his 80's & called an acupuncturist to come to the hospital to see me because there wasn't anything medical that could stop the tilt a whirl spinning & turning. The acupuncturist did place needles in my body but she asked me to trust her and she blew in my ear & around it 6 or 7 times and whispered & moved her hand in circles. After her 2nd treatment I was 80% better & could open my eyes. My Neurosurgeon said it would take 6-8 months to get better if she couldn't help me. When I thanked her & my Neurosurgeon they both told me to thank God.
I need your acupuncturist help. Can she heal the mind of a persons with bad memories and intrusive thoughts?
Very interesting. Thank you for sharing this. 👍👍
I wish I knew someone to pass these gifts on to me.
Excellent work Lucy! My family said to have these gifts, its good to see that there are others that still believe! Best wishes!
There are people who still believe, but the numbers are shrinking. I would love to talk to you about your family and their gifts.
@@lucygroves7158 I am one and from the south. alabama I have spent the last 6 years understanding what the gifts are and how to use and to teach others freely
@@Traci_S_Aaron I'm from Alabama and I need your help. Can you remove bad memories and intrusive thoughts from a person's mind?
@@ThunderstormsRainfalls where to you live know. I'm NC
@@Traci_S_Aaron I'm in Alabama. Can you help me?
I am so happy I found this! I have lived in VA my whole life and I saw a Man take the fire out of a burn! It was my mother that had a bad burn and she was in so much pain absolutely nothing helped the pain it was sad to see... My uncle said he knew a man that could take the fire out of the burn... so we were all like go get him! He brought the man to us.. The Man said we could stay in the room or leave it doesn't matter... Anyway I don't know what he was saying cuz I couldn't understand it but as soon as he got done my Mama smiled and said it worked and she didn't have any more pain from it at all!!! We were so amazed and tried to pay him but he wouldn't take it!! He said he was the seventh son of the seventh son,, and they were the ones that could do that!! I never forgot that!!!
It may be important to note that God's infinitude does not limit the gift to family lineage. I have heard of all sorts of ways people discover spiritual gifts inside themselves, different ways God calls them to serve. Some people are just born that way
My Great Grandfather was said to have had many of the abilities described in this video. He practiced his healing craft in North Georgia back in the first half of the last centrury. I always thought of him as a faith healer but one of my cousins said that the local people called him a Conjure Man.
Awesome video
Thank you for sharing! GOD BLESS! 👏🙌🌼❤️🇺🇲🙏🌎🌍
"These healers are thought to have disappeared..."
We ain't disappeared yet. ;)
When I was a boy growing up in rural west GA, a family friend came over to conjure a wart on my finger. He gave me instructions to follow, then said if I told anyone what he told me to do, the wart would come back. Well, a week passed and the wart peeled off, revealing new skin underneath. Of course I was excited and told my best friend what the conjurer had told me to do. And you guessed it, a couple weeks later another wart popped up on the next finger over. Mama called him back to the house, and as soon as he walked in, he looked at me and said, "You told someone, din'tcha?" Haha! He gave me different instructions that time, I followed them, the wart came off in a week, and I have kept my mouth shut for 35 years!
Every folk magic around the world I hear, they say you aren't supposed to say anything or speak about the spell. Interesting. Hope no warts pop up now lol
My grandfather could do these things. He took away my warts, just as the lady described.
Just amazing…. ❤❤❤❤
this would be a great video if I could just hear it, I had it on an external speaker full volume and still couldn't hear what they were saying sorry.
I had to use earphones to hear it.
I was born and raised in Appalachia, my dad was a coal miner. Though there was good things about my youth, I neve.r for one minute, thought I could live my life there. Why? I didn't want to be a miner or work on the railroad. I wanted ti make a living primarily using my brain, not my back. I liked technology, math and science. And I disliked superstitions, the magical thinking and ignorance that was all too common there. So at 18, I left and joined the 20th Century. I spend 4 years in the service learning and working with electronics and avionics. Then I was unemployed for just 2 days and started working on computers when not one person in a thousand had ever seen a computer. I did that for 30+ years. I did very well accent and all. I retired at 54. I never once, not for one minute worried that I'd lose my job, be in explosion, go on strike or not be able to provide from my family. I just never saw much to admire, surely there were some great teachers there and others who saw beyond that small world but not nearly enough of them. Now it's the 21 Century and it's worse, coal is on its last legs.
And now it's "conjuring" what Century is that?
My aunt could talk warts and fire out. We’re from Rowan county NC. Not sure if she passed it on to anyone before she died but I hope so. It’s sad to think this kind of gift is dying out.
Awesome, also from Dawsonville
My Daddy had diverticulitis and was in ICU bleeding to death. They couldn't transfuse him fast enough. He was bad shape. The bleeding slowed a bit and they did an exploratory surgery and when they found the bleeding, they were to cut his intestines to get rid of that bad part, the bleeding part and put in a colostomy bag. They were to come out tells us before they actually did any cutting. Well, I was running late at usual. I had wanted to get there before they took him down and put him to sleep. But since I couldn't get there in time, I called him. I read to him the verse over the phone and I told him I knew it would work. His Momma, my Granny stopped bleeding many times. So he knew it would work to. I made it to the hospital and they eventually came to tell us what they'd found before they went to cutting on him. Well they said one of the dumbest thing I ever heard. They couldn't find a bit of bleeding anywhere in him. Their reason for that," the air we put into his intestines, plugged the hole up and temporarily stopped the bleeding but 'we think we know the spot' and that's what we're going to cut out." I kick myself every day for not forbidding them to cut him. That bleeding had been stopped by God. Air doesn't plug a hole for crying outloud. He had complications and leaking and infections and all kinds of problems with that surgery. He still has the bag. He isn't married and I'm the eldest child and I should have stopped them and told them sew him back up and get out of there, they're done. But I didn't and he still has that bag and so much scar tissue from many surgeries that he may have it forever. I should have stood up for God that day and said no surgery, no bag since there's no bleeding. Glory to God for stopping that bleeding. It wasn't me. It was God.
You did all you could Jennifer.
Now pray 🤲 over those scars and the Lord will heal em too .
I didn’t know men could do this. I always heard that the gift could only be passed to women. My great grandmother and my mom can do these things. Always heard that once the gift is passed on, the one before looses the ability. I’ve always hoped to find a healer that could help with my autoimmune or psoriasis but I suppose that’s not part of it. I’ve been thankful for my mom’s gifts many times and she’s used it for my daughter as well, living 2 hrs away.
This is amazing. Is this from a larger documentary?
My grand mother’s elder sister could take people’s warts away. We are from western north carolina. I also heard of relatives who could stop nose bleeds
Ms great grandmother was a healer out of Appalachia, she could stop blood her name was Susan Anna
I love this. I would love to know where the gentleman is from who mentioned Gainesville and Hall County. We're not far from there. Just curious. 🙂
I'm from Tennessee. Got hurt by witch craft with out any knowledge of it. Would love to find a healer
Is this Gainesville ga?
I enjoyed this. But please go back in and increase the volume. I could barely hear it with the TV volume turned all the way up.
My great grandmother had the ability to stop bleeding. When my grandmother told me this, she said "There's a verse in the Bible she spoke, but I can't tell you the verse. The information can only be passed from male to female or female to male" in order to pass on the gift".
momma said her aunt opal drew fire out of my sis hand when she's was a toddler and burnt she spoke something over it. heard that from momma too about blood verse too in bible a man can tell a woman and a woman can tell a man.
Lucy, I am a script writer and I am building a theater in Dahlonega Ga. I am also married to a man who's family is many generations deep Appalachian natives. When my daughter (now 22) was 7 years old, she had a terrible case of poison ivy that topical medication and steroid shots would not heal. We had a conjurer in our church who laid her up on the pew and whispered over her. The poison ivy was gone by that night. I want to write a stage play about this beautiful and fading practice. Would you be willing to contact me? Thanks, Neva
i am a healer also in ky
We want more videos on all the magic spells you can find before they are lost .
I know this is old, but the sound is so bad, cannot hear anything being said.
I had prayed for several people to be healed from warts. Within 3 days they are gone. But haven't been able to heal anything else.
My grandmother and her sister could take warts several different ways, fire talk, blow out thrush, & all sorts of things. I think I've somehow inherited things but don't have a clue other than what they told me when I was young. I have successfully gotten rid of a wart though. My grandfather on the other side was what they called a water witch, and people paid him to find water when they needed a well dug. I could do it too when I was little but I can't remember what kind of branch we had to use. Trying to learn as much as I can now before it's gone forever
Would you be willing to talk to me?? It sounds like you have some very valuable information!!!
Thanks
Lucy Groves yes id be happy to
I think that maybe Willow, which has a strong correspondence to Water, and intuition, would make a fine wood to use in Dowsing Rods. That's just a guess though, based on my own knowledge.
@@gabrieladerre2862 I have tried a lot of branches and looks like all will work, Just make sure the ground is not wet or after a rain storm, I witched my well with a pecon branch and found water at 92 feet and when drilled it turned out to be an artesion well with 400 to 500 gal per min. You can not believe the power of the branch when you do find water. I have tried Plum branch, Pecon branch, Peach branch and appercott branch and with these they all seam to work well.
my father in law who lived in burnsville bought the wart on my hand from me.
🙏
Jesus told the desiples
Jesus told the desiples that they could heal like him and I think He meant that believers could also . It's a gift from God not witchcraft
@@millieharmon3616 It could be either one.
@@joejenkins5041 when done in Gods name it is from God
Eze.16:6-8 . Speaking it over and over stops bleeding
I had a wart bought off when i was a kid
I believe in this, but I believe it's a gift from GOD. I don't believe the person can heal you, but I believe it's the LORD working through the person that has the power to heal. It bothers me when there's people that are disrespectful and they decide to turn it into something evil. GOD knows your heart. He knows whether or not it's a blessing or a curse. I told my daughter the other day.....sometimes I can tell when someone is genuinely a good and an honest person and I can tell when they're not. Sometimes it's just by looking at there eyes or listening to them talk. It makes me not trust them. I know we're not supposed to judge people, but I do believe GOD gives us these instincts whether to trust certain people or not. Like for an example.... I do not believe we should go to a fortune teller or someone who uses voodoo or uses tarot cards. You need to stay away from things like that. I guess that's what I'm trying to say. GOD bless you.
