Publisher's Synopsis
Authentic Witchcraft for Spiritual Explorers
In this first-ever collaboration, best-selling author Lisa Chamberlain teams up with hedge witch Stacey Carroll for an introduction to one of the most fascinating and powerful forms of witchcraft today. Stacey is the magical creatrix behind "The Country Witch's Cottage". She brings plenty of personal experience with hedge witchcraft to the table, as well as a down-to-earth sensibility and an Australian perspective to a field largely dominated by writers from the Northern Hemisphere.
This book provides a working roadmap to help you build your practice, and a foundation for exploring the ever-changing and evolving path of hedge witchcraft in a modern world. You'll find plenty of information within these pages, including:
- The historical context and basic practices of hedge witchcraft
- Ways of working with Spirit: ancestors, animal guides, elementals, familiars, and more
- Skills, tools, and methods for traveling to Otherworld (or "crossing the hedge")
- Lore and magical uses for hedge herbs and trees
- Rituals for safe hedge crossing, communing with ancestors, and calling animal guides
- Charms and recipes of the hedge witch
