How to Use Green Magic

Green magic is associated with a witch that uses herbs. While some say that a green witch was the original solitary witch, others would argue. With witchcraft, your path is very individual and you can choose the path you follow and incorporate what you would like, to include green magic.

Instructions

1. Learn about herbs. Herbs are strong in magical lore and legend. The use of herbs in green magic has been passed down and refined through the centuries. Learn the healing power of various herbs.

2. Study the history of green magic. This may sound like a school class, but it is important. There are many things in the history that will influence how you use magic. Traditions and blessings are strong when using magic.

3. Grow your own herbs and plants. Much of a green witch's power comes from the earth itself. You will benefit greatly from plantings and cultivating your own herbs.

4. Practice your green magic. Incorporate herbs in your daily life. There are many ways to do this. Use peppermint tea for the upset stomach or use aloe vera for a burn. These are sources of practical everyday magic.

5. Celebrate the sabbats and the seasons. Sabbats are the holidays for a witch. A green witch is very much in tune with the seasons. Learn the ways of the moon and the solstices.

6. Give thanks to the Mother Goddess, or Mother Nature. She is the one that gives us all the abundance.

Tips & Warnings

• Remember "if it harm none do what you will." Never use magic to harm anyone. Whatever you send out comes back to you three fold. This includes good as well as bad magic.

• Witch has come to mean a bad thing to many people. Learning the history and the lore will enable you to know where your beliefs come from. Know that they do not need to accept you. You are strong in your own right.
