Who is a Green Witch: How do They Practice the Art?

A Green Witch is a witch whose practice focuses on nature, using natural materials and energies. Green Witches are often skilled herbalists and may enjoy gardening and wildcrafting as part of their practice.

Green Witches are often quite attuned to the cycles of nature and may (or not) practice astrology as a way to enhance this connection.

A Green Witch is often also dedicated to an environmentally friendly lifestyle. To a Green Witch, all natural places are sacred and reducing her damaging human footprint on the Earth is more than a lifestyle choice but a sacred duty.

This type of a witch often follows an Earth-based spirituality but may subscribe to any religion or none.

What is green magick?

Green Magic is an inexplicable energy and force that occurs in nature all around us, although probably not everyone is aware of it or open to it. It’s that unique feeling, that uplifting of the spirit when you’re outdoors, in a beautiful place.

People of all spiritual beliefs recognize that magical life force in Nature, giving it different names. Our ancestors were much more in touch with the mysterious forces that surrounded them, with the changing seasons, the miracle of growth each spring, the traditions of animals, the return of the sun after winter; all natural phenomena that today we often ignore, almost taking for granted.

Green Magic revolves around the natural forces present in our reality; its power comes from nature itself, which is why green is the perfect color, denoting precisely the type of magic I’m talking about. This form of magic is a branch of metaphysical occult practices, used to transform will and intention into perceptible reality.

What a green witch believe in?

Practitioners of Green Magic believe that every living being emanates a unique force or energy called “Manae,” which, through the use of proper channels and training, can be accessed and utilized forever. It is a rather neutral belief system, detached from other religious systems, traditions, and so on.

For this very reason, it involves religious believers, agnostics, and atheists in many of its rituals. Furthermore, when one lives close to nature, one more fully understands how dependent we are on its generosity.

By seeing nature as a manifestation of divinity, the human soul regains something that was lost when we industrialized our Earth, which concerns the psyche and our spiritual well-being.

What does green magick work?

Green Magic works with the energy of Mother Earth, using a positive attitude and goals, and is rooted in natural sources, with a strong desire to respect the world around us and its creatures.

Naturally, it is a magical practice performed primarily with the aid of herbs, flowers, fruits, and spices (both fresh and dried), whose use has been linked to magical and religious rituals since the dawn of time, even serving to cure physical ailments.

What green magick is used for?

Green Magic is therefore used for healing, harmony, and balance, working to establish peace among all the elements, using the power of the Earth, which includes the planet and all that lives upon it, including animals, plants, and people.

Each natural element of the Earth, in fact, has a specific virtue and is in turn linked to the Celestial World, from which it receives strong occult influences, acting as an intermediary between us and power. In ritualistic practices, herbs (both dried and fresh) are used to purify the environment of bad energies, with the help of an Athame, to maximize the performance of the ritual.

Furthermore, the burning or application of their oils can induce calming or invigorating states of mind, depending on the desired effect, which also aid the ritual practice. In Green Magic, the practice of grounding is common and very effective. It encourages walking barefoot, to transfer energy from the ground to the walker and to transmute overactive energies into controlled energies.

The lore behind the green witch

Green Magic is a sister to folk magic, from which it derives, often overlapping. The Green Witch originates from village medicine women, healers, midwives, crafty folk, and grandmothers who seemed to have a magical touch with remedies. These were common folk, often lower-class, or solitary women who understood healing through the help of nature, before science caught up.

Typically, at its center is a naturalist, herbalist, sage, and healer, who embraces the power of nature, draws energy from the Earth and the Universe, and relies on natural objects such as stones and gems to commune with the land on which she lives. She uses plants, flowers, oils, and herbs for healing, invokes nature’s guidance, and respects every living being, no matter how small.

The Green Worker uses her power to harness the energy of the natural sources around her, communicating with plants and wild animals. The Green Path is the skeletal structure of community healers and health workers, aided by herbalism and willpower. And, once cultural norms, traditions, and religious ideologies are removed, one can see the foundation upon which one can build one’s spiritual journey.

These guidelines are well described in Ann Moura’s “Grimoire for the Green Witch: A Complete Book of Shadows,” a true practical guide containing recipes and personalized spells using herbal blends and spells.

Green Magic should not be confused with white magic, as the former focuses its efforts on the natural energy of the Earth’s flora, while the latter uses practical magic focused on the Greater Good. It’s interesting to note that new generations are moving toward a path that explains life in a way that speaks to everyone, regardless of ancestry.

Perhaps because these paths have three key things in common: they are based on folk magic, they do not require a spiritual element, and those who walk the paths tend to be solitary practitioners, as Arin Murphy-Hiscock explains in her book “The Green Witch.”
