Description

Now & Then: The Appalachian Magazine, Volume 25, Issue 02, published in 2009. The theme of this issue is Spirits of Appalachia. This issue explores the many meanings of "spirits" in Appalachian culture, from ghost lore and supernatural traditions to religious faith, memory, and distilled beverages. Articles recount haunted places, prophetic experiences, protective folk practices, and enduring legends, while also reflecting on ancestral presence, community figures who inspire others, and personal encounters with loss and resilience. Features on moonshine, wine, and regional drink traditions complement essays, poetry, and reviews that portray spirits as both otherworldly and deeply human, revealing how the unseen, remembered, and celebrated continue to shape Appalachian identity.
