Description

Stevie Holbrook is an outdoorsman, backyard homesteader, painter, & deep-rooted Eastern Kentuckian living amongst the aftermath of recent devastating floods in Letcher County. We begin with Stevie describing what the flood has been like for him & around his community, then expand into the plight of Appalachia as a whole. From there we transition into God, folkways, & folklore: superstitions around the dog days of summer & faith healing; haints & boogers; turtle buggin' & frog giggin'. Stevie then tells a paranormal story of a whistling creature in the woods, followed by his great-grandparents' encounter while coon hunting. We end on a lil' local history, archeology, & paleontology.   If you're interested in donating to the flood relief, check out the following: Foundation for Appalachia Kentucky or Team Eastern Kentucky Flood Relief FundMusic provided by Earl Suitor"My Old Kentucky Home "Written by Stephen FosterPerformed by Earl SuitorCourtesy of Earl Suitor"Clinch Mountain Backstep"Written by Ralph StanleyPerformed by Earl SuitorCourtesy of Earl SuitorSupport Our Numinous Nature on Patreon.Follow Our Numinous Nature & my naturalist illustrations on InstagramCheck out my shop of shirts, prints, and books featuring my artContact: herbaceoushuman@gmail.com
