Align with the natural cycles of the earth as you explore the 13
essential plants every green witch must know and have in their
garden and cupboard for healing, spellwork, and divination. Plants
are a sacred offering from Mother Earth. And witches have always
known and understood their healing and magickal powers. Plants hold
sustenance, medicine, and wisdom. They gift us with the essentials
we need to live and thrive. In return, they ask to be used for the
highest good. This is the path of the green witch. With Green Witch

wisdom? Reclaim your inherent relationship with the healing magick
of nature with Green Witch Magick.
Presents more than 600 magical prescriptions for healing and
protection from both pagan and Christian sources * Examines the
practice of diagnosing illness through magic and explores ancient
beliefs about curses and other evil spells and about devils,
demons, and ghosts * Includes spells from the heavily guarded gypsy
tradition of magic and healing, drawn from newly discovered
materials Since the beginning of history, people have sought
remedies for the many ills that have beset them, from illnesses
afflicting the body to threats posed by evil and hostile
individuals. In many folk healing and pagan traditions, it was
believed that one must gain the assistance of the guardian spirit
of a healing plant or substance through prayers or offerings before
its chemical properties would be effective. Drawing on his
extensive knowledge of ancient texts, Claude Lecouteux presents
more than 600 magical prescriptions from both pagan and Christian
sources from the last 2,000 years, covering everything from
abscesses and shingles to curses and healing animals. He explores
ancient beliefs about curses and about devils, demons, and ghosts
and provides an in-depth look at protection magic, including
protection of health, animals, and cultivated land, protection
against curses, witchcraft, bad weather, and beasts, protection of
a home, and protection while traveling. He includes spells from the
heavily guarded gypsy tradition of magic and healing, drawn from
newly discovered materials collected by two Romanian ethnologists
who lived and traveled with gypsies in Transylvania in the mid-19th
century. The author also reproduces rare texts on magic healing
from the 14th and 15th centuries. Revealing the vitality of these
practices in the remoter areas of Eastern Europe, Lecouteux shows
how the influence of this pagan worldview is still detectable in
the work of modern folk healers in France and Scandinavia.
