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 an animist, folk practitioner and psychologist based in the mountains of Lower Silesia, Poland. Her approach is rooted in and informed by living bioregional traditions and lore, historical craft derived from the early modern period, as well as anthropological and ethnographic studies of pre- and post-christian traditions of the West Slavs. Joanna is the author of Polish Folk Magic: Ancestral Lore and Traditions of the West Slavs (Crossed Crow Books, 2025), as well as articles published in Femme Occulte magazine. Polish Folk Witch is Joanna's ongoing online project, aimed at educating the Slavic diaspora, promoting Polish culture, teaching courses and facilitating group studies on a broad variety of subjects pertaining to Polish folk magic, animism and traditional folkloric witchcraft.
