Folk Magic
A practical, traditional guide
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Practical folk magic for everyday life. Spells, charms, candle work, hearth recipes, protective workings and folklore, plus much more. All in a quiet, beautiful app.
Folk Magic is a working library of British folk-traditional witchcraft. The household craft, the kitchen spells, the bottles and the knots, the candles and the herbs, the small protective workings and the larger seasonal rituals, drawn from the oral tradition of these islands and held in a quiet, practical voice.
This is folk magic as it was actually practised: by cunning folk and hedge witches, by wise women, by the household practitioner with their hand on the broom and their pot on the hearth. It is not Wicca. It is not modern aesthetic witchcraft. It is the old craft, plainly told, in a form you can use.
What's inside
Learn. Foundations, history, herb profiles, crystal profiles, moon lore, folklore of the cunning folk and the household spirits and the fair folk and the wild places, signs, daily practice, and guided Pathways through specific journeys: Starting Out, Protection, Cooling Anger, Career, Influence, Household.
Work. Spellcraft by intention: healing, becoming, glamour, friendship, career, prosperity, talent. Charmwork in its proper sub-categories: spoken charms, bottles, knots, written charms, sachets. Candle magic across sweetening, money, cooling, banishing, healing, protection, and vigils. Cleansing, protection, divination, pathwalking, manifestation, rituals, dark magic, elemental work (Fire, Water, Air, Earth, Spirit), and moon work that follows the 29-day cycle.
Hearth. Simmer pots, oils, perfumes, washes, powders, lotions, kitchen work, home blessings, fixed rice, fixed salt, witch waxes, tea blends. The household side of the craft, where so much of it has always lived.
A daily moon almanac. Each day of the 29-day lunar cycle carries its own short reading: a note about where in the cycle you are, a charm verse, a working to try, and a spell to consider. A 7-knot charm thread runs through the cycle, picking up a knot at the crescent, building through the waxing phase, peaking at the full moon, and binding off in the waning crescent. The home page shows you which day of the cycle you're on.
Genuine British folklore. Jenny Greenteeth, Peg Powler, Black Annis, the Wild Hunt, the Cailleach, the Boggart, Will-o'-the-Wisp, Tom Tit Tot, Black Shuck. Oral tradition told in the voice of the people who carried it, not retold as fairy tale.
A practice journal for the workings you try, and a Favourites collection for the articles you return to.
Free or full. The Home page, Favourites, the Journal, and a curated tasting of articles across the sections are free, forever. The full library opens with a small monthly subscription. The first week is free.
Who this is for. People new to folk practice. Returning practitioners who want depth rather than aesthetic. Anyone who has tried "witch" apps that felt flashy or shallow. Anyone curious about how the craft was actually held in these islands.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
The free version of the app has had a proper overhaul this update.
The Explore screen has been redesigned to match the look and feel of the rest of the app. Instead of a flat list, free content is now organised into Learn, Work and Hearth, each with category buttons you can browse.
Hearth has three new recipe categories: witch waxes, tea blends and fixed salts. Hearth free content has also been expanded significantly — there are now ten free articles covering home blessing, kitchen work, simmer pots, tea blends, washes, oils, salts, fixed rice and powders, giving a proper sampler of everything Hearth offers.
Charmwork now has its own dedicated section in the free Work area, separate from Spellwork. The two no longer overlap. Charmwork covers spoken charms, pocket charms, knot work and household charms. Spellwork covers candles, cleansing and protective workings.
Search is now available to subscribers only.
