Polish Folk Magic: Ancestral Lore & Traditions of the West Slavs
Polish Folk Magic is an introductory guide into the folk beliefs, seasonal practices, living ancestral traditions, and authentic folk magic of the West Slavic peoples. With the Polish and Slavic diasporas in mind, Joanna Tarnawska fills in the gaps where sources have been previously scarce or inaccessible to those not embedded in the region.
Tarnawska guides the reader through everything from the Slavic folkloric calendar to charms, protection magic, and healing. Polish Folk Magic includes a grimoire specific to Polish folk magic, the perfect companion for native and diasporic practitioners alike. Through an exploration led by a native Polish practitioner and made accessible by providing both Polish and English versions of each charm and spoken formula, the reader is invited to personalize their craft through this rich world of folk magic.
Joanna Tarnawska (she/her) is a psychologist, animist, and folk practitioner located in the mountainous region of Lower Silesia, Poland. Her work is deeply influenced by the bioregional traditions and folklore of the area, as well as historical practices of the early modern period and anthropological studies of both pre- and post-Christian Western Slavic customs. Joanna authored the book Polish Folk Magic: Ancestral Lore and Traditions of the West Slavs (Crossed Crow Books, 2025) and has contributed articles to Femme Occulte magazine, and Mandragora Digital Bulletin by Mandragora Foundation. Her current online initiative, Polish Folk Witch, focuses on educating the Slavic diaspora, celebrating and promoting Polish heritage, offering courses, and leading group discussions on various topics related to Polish folk magic, animism, and traditional witchcraft.
