In this deeply soulful and storytelling-rich episode of The Spiritual Sanctuary: Wisdom for the Divine Feminine, I sit down with Leetta from Granny’s Grimoire 13 for a powerful conversation on Appalachian folk magic, ancestral wisdom, and the Divine Feminine.
Together, we explore the lived traditions of granny magic, the quiet spiritual practices passed down through generations in the Appalachian Mountains, and how these ways of being are deeply connected to feminine intuition, embodiment, and sacred living.
This is not just a conversation—it is a remembering.
In This Episode, We Explore:
• What Appalachian folk magic really is (beyond stereotypes)
• The roots of granny magic and mountain spirituality
• How women practiced healing, protection, and intuition in everyday life
• The connection between ancestral wisdom and the Divine Feminine
• Why this path is about listening, presence, and embodiment—not performance
• The overlap between modern spiritual practices (Reiki, tarot, ritual) and Appalachian traditions
• How to begin reconnecting with your own intuitive, ancestral knowing

The women of the mountains didn’t call it magic.
