    About this ebook

    This book carries on the tradition of the solo village witch emphasizing white rather than black magic. It is a practical manual of instruction for those who choose the solo path of study and particularly stresses the importance of being in tune with nature. As there are approximately 13 moons each year – the book is divided into 13 parts. Each section is aimed at lasting from the new moon to the dark to make the student fully aware of the changing power in the tides of the sea and the tides of the self. The moon-long sections deal with a variety of traditional arts, skills and mental exercises which enables the aspiring witch to discover the inner world of magic inside him/herself.

    Note that it has not been possible to include the same picture content that appeared in the original print version.

      Whilst interesting in many parts, the author, based in the UK spends a lot of her excercises with ancient UK places/churches. Not al together practical in Australia.The author is opinionated and she does consider her way the ONLY way.- Great Meditation excercises, but most of the book is spent researching history.
    • 3/5
      After pacing around my house fretting that I had nothing interesting to read among all my books, I decided to pick up this book and try it. Yet another variation on the 101 books out there, this book distinguishes itself from the majority of 101 books. Many of these books are so basic that they are painful to look through, while others are so caught up in exercises and lessons on making or using your nifty magical altar doo-dad that they can leave the reader cold, wanting a book to actually read, not a school textbook to fill in. This book is both and neither. We're spared the usual line drawings of athames and pentacles and the endless exercises. Instead, Green presents her ideas on witchcraft in a very poetic and lyrical style. The book is divided into 13 chapters, and Green invites the reader to read and work with the information in each chapter for one moon cycle. There are exercises at the end of each chapter, but they are interesting and happen to follow a lot of my thinking about what a novice probably ought to be learning and doing. Although I do not always agree with her or think she's got a full understanding of every topic (who does?), she makes many interesting points and provides the reader with food for thought. She maintains that a good way to learn witchcraft is to try to do what you can to reconstruct how people in older times in Britain related to nature. Reading the book made me wish that I lived in the UK so I could do some of the things she suggests. Unfortunately, I live in the Southeast US, so suggestions to visit my local standing stone circle or my lonely hilltop church aren't useful for me. It did make me think about how one might find out more about the spiritual history of my area, when the original keepers of that information were all but wiped out centuries ago. I found myself combing my childhood memories looking for natural sites here that are special. I realized that I really ought to spend more time outside paying attention to my surroundings. The book was well worth the read for that insight alone. How basic, and yet how helpful! I'd recommend this book to anyone wanting to incorporate a bit of the hedge witch into their spiritual practice.
