We're getting close to unlocking our next stretch goal—Folk Magic: Spells and Charms of the Hollow at $6,000! This book will explore the mystical and arcane practices that run deep through the world of Sleepy Hollow, adding another layer of folk horror to your adventures. Here’s a sneak peek into some of the magical traditions and elements you can expect:

Braucherei (pronounced BROW-ker-eye) is a tradition rooted in the customs of folk healers and wise women. This practice focuses on restoring health, warding off evil, and protecting both individuals and communities from harm.

On the darker side of folk magic, Hexerei involves casting curses, hexes, and other malevolent spells. Practiced in secret and feared by the common folk, Hexerei taps into the darker forces of the Hollow.

Also known as green witchcraft, Granny Magic draws its power from the natural world. Practitioners have a deep connection with nature, using magic to influence weather, encourage plant growth, and communicate with animals.

Intertwining herbalism with the everyday act of cooking, Hearth Magic is practiced by hearth witches or kitchen witches. Their knowledge of herbs, spices, and culinary techniques allows them to weave spells and enchantments into the food they prepare, imbuing everyday meals with magical intent.

A dark and forbidden branch of magic, Covenant Magic involves making sinister pacts with powerful entities or deities through blood rituals and ancient rites. It often requires sacrifices and is deeply tied to primal, sometimes malevolent, forces.

Magic can be learned through various means, such as mentorship, self-study, or even through the guidance of otherworldly mentors. The path a character takes will influence the way they practice magic and the spells they can wield.

In the Sleepy Hollow RPG, the power and success of spells are determined by the number of components used in casting. These components can range from herbs and stones to personal items and symbolic artifacts, each justified by the caster’s tradition and knowledge. The more components used, the longer the preparation time, but the more potent and immersive the spell.

With this supplement, we’re also introducing new archetypes for players to explore, including:

These new character options will allow players to dive deeper into the arcane, each with their own unique Flourishes and magical practices.

The Folk Magic book will feature a variety of magical items to further enhance the world of Sleepy Hollow. Some examples include:
