Dear Reader,

I am a Plant Witch, a healer, a seer, and an Indigenous Taino from the island of Cuba. I know the truth of what I speak. We are all connected to each other, and to the Earth that holds us. That Magic is available to us all... but we have to decide whether we want to grasp it with both hands and bring forth our power to make a difference in this world.

This isnt easy! It takes commitment and faithfaith in the work that you do, and in the power that you have. Despite coming from a family of practicing Witches, I have struggled with that commitment and faith from time to time myself, as I hit challenges, even devastations, in my life: the things that come to us all. But each time, Magic pulled me through. Plants helped me overcome my fears, sheltering me, encouraging me, loving me, as they spoke to me with the voice of Mother Earth, the voice that echoes through us all.

You can do the same. You can close your eyes and find an inner silence, and hear what our Mother is whispering to you. She is saying, You are powerful. You are Magical. You are a being of light and fire and peace and darkness, and you are beautiful in all your contradictions.

That is what a Witch is, someone who is unafraid of complexity, and unafraid to shine in her pure light. And a Plant Witch takes this one step further, by seeking a deeper connection to Mother Earth through all her living beings, working with them, befriending them, and loving them. As a Plant Witch grows her practice, she raises her powerand just by doing that, she raises the power of Mother Earth.

Our Mother needs our help. She is being attacked every day. Her seas are dying, her trees are burning, and her creatures are going extinct. It is our sacred duty to love and protect her, as she has always loved and protected us.

So how do you know if you are a Plant Witch?

If you have chosen this book, then its likely that you are already a Plant Witch. You are already called by Mother Earth to work with her Magic... and you are likely working your own Magic every day, without realizing it.

The Plant Witch is one with the Earth and acknowledges the sacred self. Shes the protectress of her Mother, and the embodiment of Magic. The Plant Witch acknowledges the seasons and the messages, lessons, and wisdom they bring as they visit us. She sees beauty in the cycles of life, death, and rebirth. The Moon and the stars are her divine compass, helping her navigate her path with pure heart. The Plant Witch practices with natural Magic, as she works with nature to ground, balance, and shift her life, using natural elements to heal herself and to heal others. She cherishes the environment as she cherishes herself.

This is me. This is you, if you choose it. Walk this path with me, and together we will raise the vibration of the world, loving and protecting and empowering all life on Earth.

Love,

Juliet
