I'm looking to learn how sympathetic magic works, and being American, I'd love to have the material ready at hand. What are people's favorite resources for traditional spells from Appalachia, the Osarks, Hoodoo, etc.?

I think I remember reading Backwoods Witchcraft: Conjure & Folk Magic from Appalachia by Jake Richards, but unfortunately I don’t remember much about it since it’s been awhile since then. Have you heard about that one at all? Might at least be some starting point to research into to see if it may be at all useful.
