Hello, I am Ravnshade. Here, I will introduce you to what is referred to as rootwork. It is based more in that of the European immigrants who settled deep in the hollers of Appalachia. Rootwork and wortcunning being more correct terms. Granny Magic is its colloquial name.


I have spent my life not fitting in with everyone around me, preferring to be alone and in the company of books and animals over people, looking up at the stars, talking to the moon, greeting the sun at sunrise, standing in a storm, learning the flora & fauna around where I live. I have been drawn to the "Granny Woman" since I was very young and had no idea that all those 'odd' things I did were actually ancestral memories, and the actions were as much a part of me as breathing.


I do not "worship" Gods, I work with the Divine in all Its forms, accessing Their powers to manifest what the needs or wants are of the specific works I am doing, whether for myself or others. If I am doing a work for someone else, I will call upon their Deity, or if I don't know Who that is, then I just call upon the Divine Energy that is in everything. A person's higher spirit knows better than the person does as to what it is that they need and will accept the Divine's help quite easily and without reservation.

The two special dogs in the photos below are Hoodoo (male Boxer) and Gris-Gris (female Pit Bull). They were inseparable in life and literally passed over the Rainbow Bridge at the same time on November 2, 2020. Hoodoo was rarely far from my side, and Gris-Gris' favorite place was on any comfy spot she could find. I miss them terribly still.
