Crystal Coven's Mystic Mondays
Folk Ways of Greeting the New Year
The New Year hasn’t always been loud.
In Appalachian folk tradition, the turning of the year was greeted quietly, with clean thresholds, settled homes, simple food, and careful attention to what was carried forward. These were granny-witch ways that never called themselves magic, just doing things right.
In this drive-safe episode, we share stories of old New Year preparations: sweeping the old year out, tending doors and thresholds, kitchen witch foods, folk signs and omens, and why crossing the year gently mattered so much.
No resolutions.
No pressure.
Just old wisdom, still working.
