  • 23. The Book in the Drawer: Grimoires, Family Bibles, and Magical Spell Books
    2026/05/04

    Spell books, grimoires, family Bibles, charm books, and Books of Shadows all belong to the same old habit: writing down what people did when ordinary help ran out. In this episode, we open the drawer on the private working books people kept in kitchens, bedrooms, church pews, rootwork shops, and hidden boxes. We’ll look at family Bibles filled with names and funeral cards, old receipt books that mixed remedies with charms, printed works like The Long Lost Friend and The Sixth and Seventh Books of Moses, hoodoo formula books, grimoires, and the modern witch’s Book of Shadows.

    Then we break down how these books actually work in folk logic—why a written charm could carry authority, why a Bible might become more than a Sunday book, why grimoires made people lower their voices, and why a real working book needs more than pretty pages. These books held prayers, cures, seals, names, candle records, remedies, warnings, and the hard-earned notes people made after a working succeeded, failed, or cost more than they expected.

    We’ll also talk about the practical side of keeping a working book today: how to record your work honestly, how to protect private names, how to handle an inherited book, and why some pages should be marked, retired, copied, buried, or kept closed. If you’ve ever wondered why an old Bible, charm book, grimoire, or Book of Shadows can feel heavier than ordinary paper, this episode will make that feeling easier to understand. Because sometimes the most powerful thing in the house is the book nobody was supposed to open.

  • Feral Folktales: A Short Tale - The Raven Who Walked the Road
    2026/04/27

    This time, I’m sharing “The Raven Who Walked the Road,” a folktale about old warnings, strange signs, and the danger of ignoring what people before you already knew. In stories like this, trouble does not always announce itself in some dramatic way. Sometimes it starts with a bird behaving oddly, a path that feels wrong, or a house that seems a little too prepared for your arrival. It is the kind of tale that shows how folk belief was built from watching for small things that meant something bigger.

    What makes this story stick is the way it brings together two old pieces of caution: do not follow what seems to be leading you, and do not eat in a place that was waiting for you before you meant to arrive.

    Feral Folktales is where I step aside from the main show and tell a straight folktale—simple, spoken, and exactly as it’s meant to be heard. These bonus episodes are just a little something extra between the full installments of The Feral Folklorist, which is where you’ll find the deeper dives into history, folklore, magic, hauntings, and the stranger corners of human belief.

    A new folktale appears between the regular podcast releases—just a short story to keep the world of folklore moving.

  • 22. Staked in the Dirt: The Magic and Lore of the Vampire
    2026/04/20

    In this episode of The Feral Folklorist, we dig into one of the most persistent figures in supernatural folklore—the vampire. Long before the polished versions that show up in novels and movies, people across Europe were already telling stories about the restless dead who refused to stay buried. Villages blamed them for sickness, livestock dying, and families wasting away one member at a time. When fear took hold, graves were opened, bodies were examined, and sometimes a stake was driven into the corpse to make sure it stayed where it belonged.

    This episode looks at where those beliefs came from and why they spread so widely. We’ll talk about the old burial practices meant to stop the dead from walking, the physical signs people believed proved someone had become a vampire, and the strange mix of religion, medicine, and folklore that shaped those traditions. Along the way, we’ll also look at how the idea of the vampire shifted over time—from a village nightmare blamed for disease to the dark figure that still haunts modern storytelling.

    If you’ve ever wondered why stakes, garlic, and running water became part of the vampire tradition—or why so many cultures developed nearly identical ways of dealing with the restless dead—this episode follows the trail through the history, folklore, and practical magic that grew up around one of the most feared creatures in the old world.
