About the author
Mary-Grace Fahrun is the author of two folk magic titles from Weiser Books, Italian Folk Magic: Rue's Kitchen Witchery and the more recent Living Folk Magic: Crafting Your Own Magical Life. Italian Folk Magic focuses specifically on the folkloric and healing traditions of Italy, covering methods of protection, divination, and spellwork for love, sex, and other everyday concerns drawn from Italian regional practice. Living Folk Magic broadens the scope, presenting folk magic as a living practice found across cultures and encouraging readers to build a folk magic practice drawing on their own background rather than adopting a single tradition wholesale. Both books are practical rather than historical or academic, aimed at readers wanting workable techniques grounded in folk tradition, and situate Fahrun's writing within the wider revival of ethnically specific folk magic published by Weiser over the past decade.
