About this deal
Whether or not you believe in witchcraft, this fantastic book by alternative healer Arin Murphy-Hiscock will teach you about the healing magic of herbs, flowers, essential oils. All it does is make you both a fraud and a sham- and that's all anyone will continue being as long as they continue perpetuating shoddy pseudohistory. Musical witches use music to cast spells, as offerings to spirits, and as a crucial piece to their magical practice. For tech witches in the city, buildings and vehicles stand in place of trees and other natural items.
I started reading it with the goal of learning more about the witchy culture (being interested in this sort of stuff and leaning towards that lifestyle) as to kind of begin my earthy path, so to speak.Nudging or reinforcing the flow of energy as it moves throughout our day allowed me the opportunity to recognize the divine in the mundane much more clearly than I had before. Additionally, Murphy-Hiscock claims that green witches do not need circles for protection because "everything is nature. However, a Hedge Witch possesses shamanic qualities such as traveling between the world of conventional reality and a spirit or afterlife realm.
On an everyday level, however, I know there are people who want to incorporate magic in a simpler way, who are looking for a kind of practice to recognize and honour the Divine in a comforting, casual way.Today's practicing green witch cares as much about the earth as any environmentally-friendly non-witch — if not more.
