Where the Witches Never Burned: Haunting Traditions of the Deep South

Reach out to us on our OMG what’s the Moon on Facebook page!In this haunting All Hallows’ episode, we drift beneath the Spanish moss and into the forgotten corners of Florida’s witch lore — where the women were healers, not heretics, and their magic lingered quietly in the humid night air. From the whispered legends of St. Augustine’s “brujas” to the mysterious Witch’s Grave of Tallahassee, we uncover how the Deep South kept its witchcraft alive through reverence, ritual, and memory.Then, we trace how old Southern customs — porch lights for the dead, silent suppers, bonfires, and carved pumpkins — grew into the Halloween we know today. It’s a journey through shadowed history and candlelit tradition, where every ghost story is really an act of remembrance.Light your candle, sweep your porch, and settle in — we’re calling up the haunting magic of the South tonight.https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61565476873345If you wanna contact us or leave a comment or share a story or just say hello, here’s our Facebook page for the podcast!!!
