Synopsis "Green Witchcraft for Beginners: A Guide to the Magic of Nature, with Seasonal and Elemental Magic, Herbs, Flowers, Crystals, Divination, Plus Spells a (in English)"
Discover the Magic of Nature's Divine IntelligenceDo you feel drawn to nature in a way you can't quite explain? Is there some part of you that only feels "at home" in the great outdoors? Do your souvenirs from vacations tend to be rocks and seashells rather than tee-shirts and keychains? Are you interested in witchcraft and magic? If you've answered "yes" to more than one of these questions, then green witchcraft may very well be for you.Green witchcraft has emerged as a modern form of an ancient spirituality, and its increasing popularity suggests that more and more people are seeking a new pathway back to living in harmony with the Earth. A revival of ancient approaches to magic, healing, and divine connection adapted for modern times, green witchcraft is not a religion, or even a formal path of witchcraft. In fact, there are as many possible descriptions of this path as the number of people who call themselves green witches.This introductory guide from best-selling author Lisa Chamberlain is intended as a starting-off point in your exploration of the green path. Green Witchcraft for Beginners provides an orientation to the core aspects of the practice. Lisa outlines "green" philosophy, including living in balance with the needs of the Earth, how divine intelligence is expressed through nature in all of its manifestations, and the benefits of co-creating with this intelligence for a more harmonious life. The book then dives into the role of the elements, the energies of the seasons, the magic of the lunar phases, and the ongoing cycles of life, death, and rebirth that keep all of existence going.There's also plenty of practical, hands-on content, with exercises and advice for grounding and balancing your energy; receiving intuitive messages, signs and signals from nature; working with your shadow; and establishing energetically balanced sacred space.Of course, as with any quality book on this topic, there's also plenty of information about plants-in the wild, in the garden, and in the house-as well as various spells, rituals, recipes, and ideas for incorporating nature in your practice.Spells, Recipes, and Magical Inspirations for the Green Witch The central focus of green witchcraft is on working with the magical energetic properties of everything that grows in the ground-trees, herbs, flowers, and other plants. These energies can be used in healing, divination, and other magic. Green witches also work with other aspects of nature, including crystals and stones, fossils and feathers, sand and seashells, and sacred outdoor space in general, wherever they find it.Whether you're new to witchcraft and magic, or a more experienced witch looking to branch out, you'll find plenty of new ideas and inspiration for your practice.
