Her view of deities is different from mine; I'm a hard polytheist (all Gods are individuals) and she is of the all-gods-are-one-god, all-goddesses-are-one-goddess school of thought. Just a heads up, and a final note to any newcomers there are other ways to relate to the Divine. Don't take one author's word as absolute. A folkloric traditional witch seeks to mirror aspects of the witch from folk tales and historical documents (particularly Witch Trial documents). Within this definition, there is a lot of lee-way and open opportunity for the folkloric traditional witch to tailor his or her craft to meet his or her spiritual needs and unique path. Folkloric traditional witches may study and use folklore from their local area in their craft. They may also use folklore from the lands of their ancestors, or folklore from another region of interest. 9. The Solar Witch The icing on the cake is truly them saying that "This yearning [for the simpler time of the past] isn’t nostalgia, which is a longing for an airbrushed memory. It is a genuine subconscious draw to knowledge that has been obscured by innovation, progress, and improvement"; when you blatantly rewrite the truth of history (as best we understand it) at your whim so as to suit false historical narratives and push an undeserved complex of superiority and non-existent persecution... What you are participating in may not be nostalgia, insomuch as you were never there to experience something to be nostalgic about later in the first place... But I promise that what you're doing is certainly far, far worse.

Because green witches practice their craft outside and in nature, it’s only natural to forge a connection with the Green Man and the Sidhe. The Green Man is the protector of the forest. He is ancient and can be found in nearly every forest all over the world. You’ve probably seen his face on plaques or motifs in gardens. Give natural offerings to the Green Man on your forest walks and have a healthy respect for the wildness of the Green Man and the forest itself. Your connection with the earth and the genius loci will make it easy for you to connect with fairies, also known as the Sidhe. Learn how to attract fairies to your garden here. 7. Green Magic Green Witchcraft 1, 2, and 3 by Ann Moura is a favorite among Wiccans and Green witches alike. If you learn more towards Wicca, you’ll love Ann Moura’s books. 3. Grimoire for the Green Witch Green witchcraft is the sister of folk magic from which it stems from, often overlapping. The green witch originates from village medicine women, healers, midwives, cunning folk, and grandmother's who appeared to have a magic touch with remedies. The green witch stems from common folk, often lower class, and solitary women who understood nature's healing before science caught up.If you’ve ever hiked or camped in the woods, you know the spirits are rampant there. From the genius loci (land guardian spirits) to the fae and forest gods, you’ll feel their presence among the trees. How do we work with spirits of the forest in our magical practice? Be in the forest and be with them, first. Then leave biodegradable offerings and prayers of gratitude. Build a natural altar to Cernunnos or Pan, honor the Green Man, and invoke goddesses like Artemis and Flidais. 5. Go into the Forest! A compendium of stories about Irish fairies, Meeting the Other Crowd by Eddie Lenehan is intriguing and hard to put down! 4. The Fairy Faith in Celtic Countries Craft of the Wild Witch by Poppy Palin is an essential for the green witch. A green witch is indeed a wild witch, utilizing the energies of the forest, garden, and meadows. Talking to the trees and fairies. Seeing herbs as magical helpers. Herbal Books for the Green Witch 1.

Additionally, there are numerous directions to further reading on the subjects covered, allowing for a deeper exploration of the various topics. This is particularly useful for those who, like myself, decided upon reading this book that they'd like to know more. Many green witches may not associate their practice as religious. This not to say Green Witchcraft can't also be a religion, with dedicated holidays, practices, deities, and prayer. But this not necessary, as green witchcraft is also practiced by secular witches for their own personal magic. One may use the triple goddess to symbolize the cycles of nature or different deities; to me, Maiden, Mother, and Crone are both and all. Related Articles A Green Witch is a practitioner of the craft who works with the energies and properties of herbs, seeds, extracts and plants in general. Scroll down to find Green Witchcraft spells, lessons, and PDFs for your Green Witch Grimoire! 📜First, just because you do a spell doesn’t mean your dreams will come true in real life. A. they have to be realistic and within reach. and B. you have to put in the work behind them to make them actually manifest. For example, you’ll never got the job of your dreams if you never educate yourself, network, or apply for the job! Second, always be careful with what plants you work with in nature. Some may be poisonous and some may be endangered. Research the plant before handling it, and always handle unknown plants with gloves. Never consume or use unknown plants topically. Only take a small amount of what you need, not the entire plant. Further Reading on Green Witchcraft: NOTE: This spell is 2 parts. You’ll perform the 1 stpart on the New Moon, which is preparation, and then on the Full Moon the 2 ndpart will be completed which is manifestation or the harvest. lists of plants and gems with uses/correspondences, but *zero* interest in botany or geology. This is overwhelmingly common, and so self-centered! Not finding things beautiful or fascinating for what they are and how they came to be that way, only concerned about what they can do for you. This section is large, and once again, the author does a great ob keeping in balance with presenting information to beginners while catering to to more advanced workers.

Another of Ann Moura’s green books, Grimoire for the Green Witch provides a full Book of Shadows for readers to use and adapt for their own green traditions. 4. A Green Witch’s Cupboard This new herbal guide by Maia Toll and Kate O’Hara will have you gawking at the beautiful artwork. 36 bewitching botanicals are detailed within. 4. The Witching Herbs We have a responsibility to tell the truth about the past, so far as we are able to do so. We have a responsibility not to do violence to it, just as we have a responsibility not to do violence in the present […] In the end we contribute neither to world peace nor to saving the planet by romanticizing the past. We must ensure that our story about the past is not at odds with the evidence, precisely so that we do not end up harming the very people— the very planet— that we are so intent, in our well-meaning way, on trying to save.”
One of the first witchcraft blogs I ever found and am still attached to is Sarah Anne Lawless’ blog now called Bane Folk. Sarah is an animist, folk witch, forager, and herbalist. Talk about an essential blog for the green witch! 2. The Witchy Mommy It's grating to the last drop. But the history is really where the author just completely fails in every single regard. Harvest a bit of the same plant – be it a flower, seed pod, bark, etc. While you harvest, thank the plant for nourishing your dream and growing it to reality. You are symbolically harvesting/reaping your dreams. The spell "recipe" section is also decent; lots of different methods and a solid, albeit brief overview of working with energy. I also enjoyed her tea and oil recipes.

A green witch has an inseparable connection with the forest. Dive into the folklore and mythology of the forest to learn more. 2. A Witch’s Guide to Faery Folk The loveliest bit of irony, though, I think, is the specific mention of how Pow Wow (properly called Braucherei) "healers were also spellcasters who performed folk magic particular to the region"... Considering Braucherei is, thoroughly and without question, a Christian folk tradition. Doubly especially since the emphasis is specifically on God and Scripture as the mediums through which the healing is enacted- not the power of a practitioner- and it's largely not considered "Witchcraft" by said practitioners. Just like musical witches live for music, art witches can’t go anywhere without their ART. They eat, breathe and LIVE art. Art witches cast their magic while they make art. They use a paintbrush as a wand, paints and mixed media as their magical tools, and canvases as the vehicle that carries their intentions into the universe. 16. Divination Witch This type of witch finds himself or herself longing to “go home” and be among the stars. Maybe you find the starseed concept resonates with you deeply. Maybe you have a lifelong addiction to astrology, astronomy, and all things aeronautics. If you find you don’t care about what happens here on earth as much as you do the planetary rotations, comets, and other galaxies, then you are a cosmic witch. 18. Grey Witch While I felt highly cheated when I first bought the book I have since warmed up to it. Only about 15% of the book has anything to do with green witchcraft. However, for those who have a book on Wicca, such as a Scott Cunningham book, to pair this with, it gives a wonderful insight into Wicca and the way rituals are set up. This book is set up as a book of shadows with very few explanations.

The Hedge Witch All of this emphasis on "being an individual" and "forging your own path", and yet there sure are a lot of "Greencraft is [this]" statements going on here still... And honestly, after practicing for 20 years, I'm desperately curious where the author got all of this "Greencraft is" stuff. Because it's not the Greencraft I was taught; it legitimately sounds to me like they took your run of the mill Greencraft- a practice largely traditionally rooted in plants and herbalism (both medical and magical), and maybe a bit of local ecology if you wanted to get frisky... Made it about global ecology... Threw in some more generic Neopagan shit.... Dialed up the "earth worshiping Pagan" stereotype... And then just went ham with it without actually consulting anyone who practiced Greencraft.
