WILD WITCHCRAFT

This comprehensive guide to herbal & natural magic will inspire new and experienced witches to enhance their spiritual practice and deepen their connection with nature through a holistic lens and practical tips.

So you want to be a green witch? Time to get your hands dirty.

This is a comprehensive guide to making tinctures, teas, and other natural products that are used in modern witchcraft spells and rituals. Rebecca Beyer, a witch and professional forager, inspires both amateurs and experienced practitioners who want to enhance their practice of magic and also deepen their connection with nature, which is integral to that practice.

This book has three parts: Part One: the history of witchcraft, herbalism, and the intersection of the two; Part Two: how to create/maintain your own magical garden/learn how to forage; and Part Three: spells, remedies, and rituals focusing on the wheel of the year (using all of the information you learned in the first two parts).

Unlike other books on the market, Wild Witchcraft features:
- tips and charts for managing your own magical garden (including seasonal charts, soil type sidebars, composting how-to sidebars, etc.).
- recipes for tinctures, teas, essential oils, and other brews to use in spells/rituals.
- spells and rituals with a holistic, natural skew covering a range of topics, from self-healing to love to seasonal/moon phase-oriented communion.

Beyond telling you how to be a green witch, Wild Witchcraft provides you the tools to do things yourself and how to do so in a responsible and sustainable way.
