Colonial Magick in Modern Practice
Magick was not just a mystical pursuit in Colonial America—it was a necessary part of survival, woven into the rhythms of daily life. Whether through the careful placement of a horseshoe above a doorway for protection, the burning of herbs to ward off illness, or the reading of signs and omens to navigate an uncertain world, these practices were both practical and profound.
Today, these traditions continue to shape modern witchcraft. When you light a candle to set an intention, create a charm for prosperity, or trust your intuition to guide you, you are drawing upon the same folk Mgick that helped our ancestors find their way through the challenges of their time. The simplicity and raw power of these age-old practices remind us that magick is, at its core, about connection—connection to the land, to the spirits of those who came before us, and to the unseen forces that shape our lives.
The Little Witchcrafts Oracle: A Bridge Between Worlds
The Little Witchcrafts oracle deck serves as a bridge between past and present, bringing the wisdom of Colonial Magick into the hands of modern practitioners. Each card represents an aspect of everyday folk Magick—whether for protection, divination, healing, or manifestation—allowing you to tap into these timeless traditions in a way that is both accessible and deeply meaningful.
Far from being relics of a bygone era, these practices remain relevant today. A charm of buttons can still symbolize the bonds of community and kinship. The flickering flame of a candle can still guide us toward clarity in times of uncertainty. The rhythmic drumbeat of spirit work continues to call us into communion with the unseen. This deck is not just a tool for divination—it is an invitation to rekindle a relationship with the Magick of the past and weave it into your own spiritual journey.
Rediscovering the Magick of Colonial America
The folk Magick of Colonial America was rooted in necessity, shaped by a blend of European traditions, Indigenous wisdom, and the practical realities of frontier life. These were spells born of experience, shaped by the turning of the seasons and the hardships of survival. Through the Little Witchcrafts oracle, you are invited to rediscover these powerful traditions and integrate them into your modern practice.
As you work with this deck, you honor the spirits of those who walked this path before you—the cunning folk, the wise women, the herbalists, and the everyday practitioners of household magick. You reclaim the whispered knowledge that was passed down through generations, finding new ways to apply these traditions in a world that, though changed, is still touched by the same mysteries.
