Have you ever felt a connection to plants? Have you ever wandered through woodland and noticed things others didn’t between the trees? Have you ever tended to a garden that seemed to grow against all odds? When your friends are family are ill, do they come to you for your beautifully stocked apothecary? Did you answer yes to any of these above questions? Then you just may be a Green Witch.
Green Witches have a deep connection to nature. They are in tune with the natural world’s cycles, the phases of the moon (which govern growing cycles and tides!), and seem to hear whispers from the plants themselves. If you’re not already a Green Witch (and you just might be!), below are five ideas for connecting to that witchy and wild part of yourself that can always be found in the respite of the green world.
Green Witches Live by the Light of the Moon
A Green Witch knows that the world works in cycles. This is true for the human body, the seasons of the earth, and our moon. When the moon is new, plant your seeds as you would set your intentions, and when the moon is full, harvest and release what you have tended. The moon can be a gentle reminder of our own inner light and important shadows. She can teach us and remind us that each of our phases carries importance. Green Witches work with this cyclical magick. To connect with this part of yourself, study lunar gardening, keep a moon journal or calendar, and stand under the light of a full or new moon, and thank her for her wisdom.
Green Witches Understand Plant’s Powers in Medicine
Green Witches know the secrets of the plants. Plants can be tinctured, turned into oxymels, brewed into infusions, or sipped as tea. Herbs and their medicines can help clear a cold, boost an immune system, help with a good night’s rest, and tend to many of the ailments that can crop up throughout our lives (or even prevent them!). A Green Witch listens to Yarrow, dreams with Mugwort, and looks beyond just the initial prick of Nettle to truly understand the magick of these plants. If you’re especially attuned to these secrets, you may just be a Green Witch.
Green Witches Have a Green Thumb
If your garden is flourishing, that’s a good sign that you’re a Green Witch. Witches who work with plants have an uncanny way of cultivating a garden. The plants seem to sparkle, bumblebees are called to pollinate, and herbs, veggies, and flowers are abundant. The secrets of a garden are plentiful; if you know the magick to call on to guide the roots and leaves along their way. To connect with this aspect of Green Witchery, start small. Gardens can be cared for in the most unconventional of spaces, just bring your love for growing plants.
Green Witches Have a Relationship With Wild Spaces
Not only can a Green Witch be found in a garden, but in spaces that are wild. Maybe you are a Green Witch who feels called to convene with the desert blossoms of the cactus, or deep in the heart of a wood, or resting on an outlook in the mountains. Wherever plants grow wild and free, a Green Witch can be found. To connect with the wilds of the world spend some dedicated time in nature. Take off your shoes and let your feet ground into the earth.
Green Witches Are Wild Themselves
Much like these spaces that Green Witches love, Green Witches themselves grow wild and free. You can find a Green Witch howling at the moon, kneeling at the base of an Oak, running like a deer through a clearing of ferns. One of the first and best ways to connect with your inner Green Witch is to celebrate your wildness.
Blessed be.
