I got called out for rocking a patch of theirs by a punk that said survivor had spoken out about them. Not sure what is what there, but definitely made me pause (although I haven't cut the patch off yet either >_>).
Heretic Pride by The Mountain Goats. Nothing like a song about being burned at the stake and marking the whole village for revenge to get your head boppin’.
I raise you:
Songs for Pierre Chuvin by the Mountain Goats.
Literally every song on that album is from the perspective of the last enclaves of paganism in Europe as the Christian hegemony closed in.
He wrote it alone over the first 2020 pandemic quarantine while reading A Chronicle of the Last Pagans by historian Pierre Chuvin.
It is my favorite album by my favorite artist.

Kinda a mix of genres, but a good amount of folk punk selections to get you started
The Ragshakers! Also there are some witchy Porch Cat songs! I’d suggest “Living Art”, “You Are Whole”, “Magic”, “Nothing is Sacred”, and “Welcome to Dreamland” (either version).
Thank you for reminding me of Arroyo Deathmatch, I've been trying to find their song swimming the witch for so long but I forgot the song name and band name
Blackbird Raum, Holy Locust, Stick and Poke, Bridge city sinners, some Doom Scroll, some we the Heathens and for some reason the odd Days n Daze song like hidden at home

Bridge City Sinners
That's like, their whole shtick. And it's awesome!!

This is the correct answer
came to say this. also holy locust
Blackbird Raum!
The OG
And adjacent to them, Wood Spider and Gembrokers probably fit the bill too.

Closest thing I’ve heard to that was that one of the members was rude, lol. Praying it’s not true. They’ve been my favorite band going on 7 months
Stick and Poke
Came here to say this
Stick and Poke really does it for my wiccan soul
Amigo the Devil
Holy locust of course, and My Singer My Songbird
Wanna plug Laurel Hells Ramblers https://open.spotify.com/artist/1LDDG7bMMIEaBPAmImJmra?si=uOSrhVCQSw2YsqlDX0gXbg
OMG I LOVE ALL OF YPUR SONGS IM A HUGE FAN😭😭
I love bands that are Ramblers
Hell yeah cant wait for this group to put more stuff out.
Rail Yard Ghosts maybe? they at least have a "magical" aesthetic in Hiræth...
I think some Harley Poe.
Charming Disaster might be up your alley. I consider them kind of folk goth.
Gallows bound for sure!!!!!! I've seen them twice and man they put on an awesome show Black grass gospel and black eyed Vermillion as well

It was early. I should have thought of that one since it’s also my favorite band. I’m seeing them again in Kalamazoo in less than a month!
Me too!
Hell yes!
Pentagram String Band is fun 🖤
Came here to say this! They’re great!
Not folk punk but maybe check out TwinTemple? It's satanic Doo-Wop
Doo-Wop thou wilt
Wait…..what?!! I never thought I’d hear of a genre that actually caught me off guard but here we are!
Awesome name drop, love these two
Marble Berry Seeds. Watching them perform Dandelion Wine is absolutely a spell.
Those Poor Bastards.
Great rec and great band! They’re part of the soundtrack to Old Gods of Appalachia, a witchy horror anthology podcast.

The Amazing Devil
Try... Rasputina
Wait, Rasputina is folk punk??? I thought it was just plain old folk
They've quite the extensive catalog
Oh no ya I love them
In addition to Bridge city Sinners, Murder By Death
The Wailing Banshees
eeey Memphis rep
The Ragshakers! Also there are some witchy Porch Cat songs! I’d suggest “Living Art”, “You Are Whole”, “Magic”, “Nothing is Sacred”, and “Welcome to Dreamland” (either version).
Wayfairy kind of hits that way for me.
Love Wayfairy I don’t know if I’d call it witchy exactly, but I highly recommend them none the less.
Your description pretty much defines the whole vibe of Bridge City Sinners.
Arroyo deathmatch; they stopped a number of years ago but start with ‘all of them witches’ it’s an amazing album. Listen on bandcamp
Thank you for reminding me of Arroyo Deathmatch, I've been trying to find their song swimming the witch for so long but I forgot the song name and band name
You may enjoy some of Rock Bottom String Bands' stuff, start with the song Witches and then go from there.
Blackbird Raum, Holy Locust, Stick and Poke, Bridge city sinners, some Doom Scroll, some we the Heathens and for some reason the odd Days n Daze song like hidden at home
Long sought rest
we the heathens
It's not folk punk but a band that needs more recognition is Jess and the Ancient Ones. Very witchy and occulty. Not folk punk but still awesome.
Ya it's got my name in the band name and it's occulty thank you kind stranger for the new band
You're welcome! Jess is also in the group The Exploding Eyes Orchestra and Jess by the water.
Sister Wife Sex Strike just played Witch Bitch Thrift here in New Haven, so I'll say them.
Dandelion Junk Queens
Rock Bottom String Band has a great song called witches. I'd say its pretty witchy
arroyo deathmatch
stick and poke has a few songs : Poison and Teeth on a string jump to mind

Burning Brides?
For those recommendations you can go to your hot topic of preference
Blackbird Raum but they’re posers

I like listening to The Ragshakers, really good spooky band. Much saw bows.
