Asfidity and Mad-Stones: A Further Ramble Through Hillfolks' Hoodoo

As someone else mentioned and I wish I'd noticed earlier, I suggest that you NOT order the e-book for this one if you have a Kindle Paperwhite like I do. I ordered it - it looks awful. It's in landscape and can't be changed to portrait, and the text is tiny tiny and can't be enlarged except by swiping the screen. When I swipe the screen to enlarge the text, I can only read ONE page because when I try to move to the next page it goes back to tiny text on the same page. Amazon is giving me a refund for the e-book and I've ordered it in paperback but it's temporarily out of stock.

Byron’s books share lots of her experience as an Appalachian yarn woman. Always fun to read and with much to learn and try. I recommend this book highly!

Really fantastic book! Absolutely love H. Byron Ballard's books! She writes from the heart of the land.

This is a wonderful continuation of her earlier book, Staubs and Ditchwater. If you are interested in Appalachian life, folk medicine or folk magick, you'll find this book to be an absolute treasure!I'd encourage you to buy it as a hard copy instead of as a Kindle book for a couple of reasons...first, this is a book you'll want to dogear and use as a reference! Second, and sadly, the Kindle version loads sideways (at least it has for me) and Amazon has not responded to my several requests to get assistance.

Love this book, love this wisewoman. When she writes, the pictures in your mind guide you through that wonderful world of folkways that are almost forgotten.

LOVE this book!!

Love this author and her writings. Thank you!!

I bought my copy from Byron during a conference last year and knew I'd have a treasure on my hands. I enjoyed the material in Staubs and Ditchwater. I'd attended a class based on a chapter of the book and new I'd made the right choice. The material covered in Assiduity and Mad-Stones is invaluable, and well told. I'm so happy to have another tool in my work-basket. I hope Byron keeps bringing us new tomes!

Chock full of easy to understand advice on how to use what is growing in your area for healing, protection, taking care of yourself and your loved ones in this time of shortages everywhere. A great book for those interested in folk healing and the old ways.
