The Sons of Salem
We swear to secure our people against the wickedness and evil of the invisible world.
We swear to aid the afflicted.
We swear to stay ever vigilant and seek out the abominable witchcrafts committed in this country.
We humbly pray to be blessed by God to hold all those who consort with the Devil accountable. Amen
—Opening and closing prayer for Sons of Salem meetings.
The Sons of Salem is a loosely-organized conservative populist movement in the United States that preaches violent opposition to anything they perceive as witchcraft, demonic, or monstrous.
Blowhard podcaster Ted Gundy and former general of the mercenary group “Hognose,” Roland Rush, founded the movement in 2010 after a series of violent werewolf attacks and unexplained, supernatural murders in Tennessee. Memberships grew quickly, stoked by Ted’s fiery doomsday rhetoric on his podcast "Truth Seekers" and the aspiration of the masculine power embodied by Roland.
Although they speak of duty, honor, and maintaining the “natural order” of things, the Sons of Salem are driven by fear. They collect guns and appear at protests en-masse as a way of easing the all-consuming terror of their powerlessness. At the same time, they have conditioned themselves to respond to fear with “strength” (read: violence).

From the Bad Batch
“Been holding onto those awhile…”
Nan fishes a small ball of dough out of her pocket and gives it to the target to eat. None of her food is exactly “good”, but even by Netherworld standards, this tastes a little off… she fixes them with a hard stare that dares them to spit out her food, but after chewing a minute, it becomes too much, and the target pukes up everything, including whatever ailed them in the first place.

Mercy
Go and sin no more…
You mouth a prayer to… to God, to the Universe, to whatever higher being that’s the reason that you’re still alive in a silent plea for mercy on whatever soul you come across. Divine intervention, God’s grace… whatever it is, it only asks that the person pays it forward.

Bring back what once was
The user of this elixir drinks it slowly. As the do, impurities leak out of their skin, falling to the ground, and leaving a mess.

He Took Up Our Infirmities
"Praise the LORD, my soul, and forget not all his benefits— who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases..." - Psalm 103:2-3
The priest's miracles expand into the treatment and curing of poisons and diseases. To do so, they require a ceremonial dedication (or often re-dedication) to the service of their god, during which the priest and the patient pray together and perform ritualistic bloodletting. These wounds burn with holy, golden fire, attacking the sinful malady and expelling it from the body.

Granny's Miracle Cure-all
Dandelion for the sniffles and buckwheat for a brunette
The Witch is a master herbalist and can cure any number of illnesses and diseases with her special potions. She goes into the wilderness to find the proper set of herbs. Once she has what she's looking for, she mixes them together and boils the concoction. Steam rises from the mixture, twisting into recognizable shapes such as animals and spirits. The whole process takes about fifteen minutes, after which the patient must drink the entire mixture. They are immediately cured.
The proper preparation varies from person to person, so a single batch cannot be used to treat multiple people.
