Blending folk magic practices

[mike]

Does anyone here practice more than one type of folk magic? If so which ones? And is there any conflict in doing so?

I'd hesitate to say "eclectic" but my own practice is pretty much homespun from various threads. There is some friction between the abrahamic current, and the more pagan elements.

I've been known to dabble in Traditional Witchcraft and the veneration of Hekate, in addition to being an Indigenous Medicineworker.

That's exactly how folk magic historically grew. Appalachian and Hoodoo traditions influenced each other, and both were influenced by Native American folk magic.

Yeah. I have a thing going on that meshes Italian, Italian-American, Chinese, and Japanese folk practices in one.

Which sounds like a bad melting pot... but they go wonderfully in a shamanic and hedge witchcraft inspired way.
An equal mix of hierarchy and reverence of certain deities and spirits all-in-one. The divine authority angle is toned down just right in my rituals.
