    Introduction

    New Lessons from the
    Oldest of Magick

    But there are higher secrets of culture,
    which are not for the apprentices but for proficients.
    These are lessons only for the brave.

    What is it about plants, trees, flowers, and the idea of green magick that continues to fascinate and bewitch us? Perhaps it is their timeless appeal or their captivating qualities. Magickal herbalism is a perennially popular magickal topic. Folks just cant seem to get enough of

    that old green magick. Every spring when gardening season begins, Witches, Pagans, and common folk alike flock to the local greenhouses and garden centers, looking for the perfect additions to their magickal gardens. Perhaps they are searching for something new to try, or they are on the lookout for a prized variety of botanical that has eluded them for years. It is the thrill of the hunt and the spirit of the quest that inspires us all. I honestly believe that a deeper, more advanced study of green magick and magickal herbalism is a brilliant way to discover what new lessons the oldest magick can teach us.

    I define green magick as a practical, nature-based system of the Craft that focuses on a reverence for the natural world, the individuals environment, and the plants and herbs that are indigenous to the practitioners own area. Herbal and natural magick are essential to green magick.

    No matter how long you have practiced your craft, be it months, years, or decades, there is a real need to deepen the connection to the earthto dig further, to expand your magickal skills, and to learn more. With this in mind, Garden Witchs Herbal came to be. In this, my tenth book, I thought it was time to return to where my journey as an author began, for here is where my heart truly lies. Lets take a return trip to the Witchs garden to revisit herbal enchantments and green magick and search further into the mysterious, magickal world of plants.

    By further exploring this green path of magick and by listening to our own hearts, we gain a deep and meaningful sense of connection to nature and have the opportunity to advance and expand our level of spirituality. This sense of reverence is but a tool and another enchanting lesson to be learned.

    Green Magick and Spirituality

    Nature is the symbol of spirit.

    ralph waldo emerson

    Green spirituality holds that all of life is a magickal experience. A green practitioner is well known for their connection with their living and working environment, by their ethics, and by their affinity to the powers of the natural world. This is an intensely personal path of magick, as it takes into consideration the actual physical climate and location of where you live along with your relationship with the energy that is available within your own individual environment.

    Witchcraft traditionally uses the energies that are naturally within the elements of earth, air, fire, and water and combines them together with the practitioners personal power to create positive change and to accomplish a magickal goal. In green magick and green spirituality, the Witch becomes a link between the energies and magick of the natural world and the world of humanity. A Witch carries information back and forth between these two worlds, becoming a sort of bridge. This connection allows love and knowledge to flow back and forth between the magickal world and the mundane, bringing hope, peace, healing, and positive energy to each world.

    This is, in fact, an ancient magickal practice. According to folklore, Witches were referred to as hedge jumpers. This term highlights their knowledge of the green world and their ability to jump the hedge, or boundaries, between the two worlds. Hedge Witches, as they are more commonly called, were thought to be able to travel back and forth between the physical world and the spirit world at will. However, it wasnt that they were leaping back and forth between the different planes so much as they stood and practiced their craft with one foot firmly planted in each world, creating that spiritual bridge. They then became walkers between the worlds, and today this description is still a common one to illustrate the path of the Green Witch.
