3 Appalachian Halloween Traditions & Beliefs 🎃 | Mountain Folklore

Happy Halloween! 🎃

Today I wanted to share three Appalachian traditions and beliefs associated with Halloween! From mountain folklore to the customs, let's take a little journey into the region's cultural history.

- Sources & Historical Note -

The information in this video is drawn from The Encyclopedia of Appalachia, edited by Rudy Abramson and Jean Haskell and published by the University of Tennessee Press in 2006.

The three traditions and beliefs featured here were selected from this source. Customs and beliefs varied among individuals and local communities throughout Appalachia, so these examples should not be taken as universal Appalachian practices.

I hope you enjoy this little look into Appalachian history and folklore. Have you heard any of these traditions before? Share your thoughts or any Halloween customs you remember from your own family or community in the comments!

I checked their honey stores and left them with some Hive Alive as I get the hive ready for colder weather. This will likely be my last hive check of the year!

Now we wait and hope the girls are ready for winter. ❤️

A Little More Like Home Again | Handmade Dining Table Décor 🌿

Sometimes rebuilding isn't just about putting things back together. It's also about finding those little moments that make a house feel like home again.

Here I'm putting together my dining table using handmade pieces I've made myself, including sewn napkins and crocheted coasters, and then decorating the table for everyday life. It's a simple project, but for me, it's another small step toward normalcy after Hurricane Helene and everything that came with rebuilding.
