In an ode to her Appalachian roots and ancestors, known and unknown, of blood and kin, Leah Middleton, the Redheaded Witch, tells the stories of the grandfathers who had dirt under their fingernails from farming, the grandmothers who bled while sewing their garments, the relatives who decided to take a leap of faith and pave a new path, the ones who passed away too young, and the fellow practitioners and healers who showed her the way.

It is a work of veneration to keep their spirits alive. If you share similar roots or find yourself creating new ones, this magical book is a hand to welcome you home.

  • Explore the superstitions of the mountains, the healing charms of doctors, and the folk beliefs of witchery.
  • Wander down shadowy paths lined with rhododendrons, uncovering the hidden corners where charms are whispered and prayers are spoken.
  • Uncover the superstitions captured in this region that have inspired magical workings for protection and healing.
  • Learn to walk the witch's path as a rite conducted with reverence and solemnity.

Appalachia is a place where the lines between the mundane and the magical are blurred, and Magic from the Hilltops and Hollers offers listeners exquisite insight into the enduring lore and magic of the region.

I recently moved to the Appalachian area in Kentucky. This was a beautiful book that proved what an amazing area this is and all the history that is held here. A impressive read and I loved everything about it.

Leah Middleton “s writing feels down home and inviting. This book combines her personal anecdotes and well-researched knowledge of this special region of the US. I don’t know if I have distant relatives from these mountains, but hearing the history of the various migrations I feel pretty sure that some great great grandparents were more than likely inhabitants. Whether that’s true or not, Leah has made the visitor feel welcome. The lovely, lilting performance of the narrator perfectly suits the tone of this book. A pleasure all the way around.
