What lies hidden in the forgotten backroads and isolated hollows of Southern Ohio? Far from the panic of New England, the Midwest developed its own distinct, enduring tapestry of magic—one born of necessity, deeply connected to the land, and carried through generations by powerful women, healers, and respected cunning folk.

In this episode of The Twilight Tonic, hostess DeeDee Moonflyer sits down with storyteller and author Mark H. Roe to explore his fascinating book, Witches of Southern Ohio: A Field Guide to Folk Magic, Legends, and Local Lore. Together, they step into a world where Native American traditions, early settler beliefs, and Appalachian folk magic intertwine.
