Witchcraft isn’t a Harry Potter fantasy movie. It also doesn’t require you to eat babies, smear your body in pig fat and howl at the full moon. Unless, of course, you really want it to (just kidding about the eating babies part). Modern witchcraft is the practice and, for some, the lifestyle of honoring nature and using the energies around us and within us to create real change. Many witches believe in a higher power, but that is truly not required to practice the craft. In fact, the great thing about being a witch is that YOU can make up your own practice and follow your OWN rules. Onto the Types of Witches… 1. The Green Witch I’m dying to take a tour with Green Dean from Eat the Weeds YouTube Channel! He does wild herb and edible plant tours in the Southeastern United States. His videos are super informative and great for foraging green witches!

Go home and in the light of the Full Moon, place a bit of your plant into a small sachet or muslin bag. One of the types of witches is the tech witch. The tech witch believes modern devices such as mobile phones, computers, vehicles, and even architecture, have their own associated spirits or gods. The tech witch also believes in embracing technology as an inherent part of spiritual growth and uses the computer to store a Book of Shadows or grimoire. Mobile witchy apps are used to look up magical and spiritual information. For tech witches in the city, buildings and vehicles stand in place of trees and other natural items.

The Folkloric Traditional Witch 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 Cover your hair with dirt, so that it’s not visible to any passersby. Then take your water and water the plant. Say, “this water acts as a conduit of manifestation.”There's so much nonsense that I legitimately don't know what to say or where to start, so I'll start as short and simply as I possibly can: This book is shit. A masterpiece of standard Neopagan nonsense; severely disappointing, as this book comes so well recommended. Moura does a great job describing the various aspects of Green witchcraft, showing the difference between religious and spiritual practices of witchcraft. Also great and unique, as many modern Wiccan authors no longer do so, she explains in detail traditional Wicca- terms, tools, and practices, while keeping with an eclectic theme. 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.

Further on, when talking about practices related to Greencraft I can ignore the exclusion of Cottagecraft and Hearthcraft (the final two members of the family of Domestic practices to which Greencraft arguably belongs). And I will heartily admit that they managed a definition of Kitchencraft that's close enough within an acceptable ballpark that I have no real complaints. But her definition of Hedgewitch is just as shoddy as her historicism (we'll get to that), and leaves far too much to be desired; at this point I have zero hope that any other area of this book will be better. 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.
