I also posted this over in the Nightbane board, since it's really written with that in mind, but I figured I'd put up a pointer here, too, since it may be useful. Folk superstitions can be a great sourse of ideas.

A short addition to Shadows of the South's "Local Color" section, a list of various superstitions relating to the weather, death, luck, and other things. Helpful for creating the right mood and flavoring your NPCs.

Sorry, thinking BtS always brings out the Ghostbuster jokes.

Ordinary people need the Magic items more then the Psychics and the Magic-user.

Re: Relics - There's already the Book of Josiah McKee, for one (mysticked-up Bible). I've got about four more in mind (corn-shuck dolls, staurolite crystals, a magic dulcimer, and the Sword of Robert E. Lee), ranging from minor to the equivalent of a Greater Artifact.

As far as a CC using this, I could see a lot of these signs being used by a Mountain Witch (see my page) as props or components for spells and psychic abilities. Conventional mystics probably would, as well.
