| hedge witch history: The Hedge Witch's Way Rae Beth, 2003-01-01 Here is a guide to the magical spirituality of the hedge witch, which describes a path that is profound and yet simple – uncluttered by complex ritual, a matter of the heart. The hedge witch is a solitary witch and natural mystic who practises wildwood mysticism, so called because it is the knowledge at the root of the tree of witchcraft. Explained in detail are the witch’s prayers, spell-casting and communication with spirits and faeries, including those spirits travelling in the three realms of the magical otherworld. The values and ethics of this most ancient tradition may surprise and delight with their blend of common sense, compassion and wildness. (It is not a spiritual way for conformists!) This book opens the door to all those who feel they are natural witches but are, as yet, uninstructed. The Hedge Witch’s Way is a guide for witches of either gender – potential wisewomen or wisemen – that presents the faerie-led practices of our ancestors, in a modern-day context. |
| hedge witch history: Spellmonger Terry Lee Mancour, 2016-01-06 Minalan gave up a promising career as a professional warmage to live the quiet life of a village spellmonger in the remote mountain valley of Boval. It was a peaceful, beautiful little fief, far from the dangerous feudal petty squabbles of the Five Duchies, on the world of Callidore. There were cows. Lots of cows. And cheese. For six months things went well: he found a quaint little shop, befriended the local lord, the village folk loved him, he found a sharp young apprentice to help out, and best yet, he met a comely young widow with the prettiest eyes . . . Then one night Minalan is forced to pick up his mageblade again to defend his adopted home from the vanguard of an army of goblins - gurvani, they call themselves - bent on a genocidal crusade against all mankind. And that was the good news. The bad news was that their shamans were armed with more magical power than has been seen since the days of the ancient Imperial Magocracy - and their leader, a mysterious, vengeful force of hate and dark magic, is headed directly to Boval Vale, along with a massive invading army of gurvani. The good people of Boval and their spellmonger have only one choice: to hole up in the over-sized Boval Castle and hope they can endure a siege against hundreds of thousands of goblins. When the people look to him for hope, Minalan does his best, but the odds are depressing: there are multitudes of goblins, and they want Boval Vale as a staging ground for a vengeful invasion of the whole Five Duchies. Add to his troubles a jealous rival mage, a motley band of mercenaries, a delusional liege lord who insists victory is at hand despite the hordes at his door, a dour castellan, a moody, pregnant girlfriend and a catty ex-girlfriend who specializes in sex magic - all trapped in a stinking, besieged castle with no hope of rescue, and you'll understand why Minalan is willing to take his chances with the goblins. All that stands between the gurvani horde and the people of the Five Duchies is one tired, overwhelmed baker's son who wanted nothing more than to be a simple village spellmonger! |
| hedge witch history: Craft of the Hedge Witch Geraldine Smythe, 2020-08 The world I was looking at defied description. If it weren't for the haunting voice describing everything to me, I would have regarded it all as nothing more than a fluke; just another strange dream that I would probably forget. But this was no ordinary dream. I was being shown another world in an intentional and purposeful manner. The imagery before me did not change or shift as in a regular dream and when I had questions in my mind, the strange, calm voice would answer me in simple yet shockingly sophisticated ways. Then I suddenly found myself kneeling on the ground directly facing a thick hedge. I turned my head to the left and there she was, also kneeling and facing the hedge. She was looking at me, smiling warmly and knowingly. It was her turn for a question and my answer would change things for me forever.For the Hedge Witch who develops the ability to ride the Hedge, they can straddle worlds at will and the advantages are many. The Hedge Witch's magic is based on seamlessly shifting themselves into the twilight plane, where miracles are commonplace and their magic flows freely.- As a newer amalgam emerging from and within the traditional paths, Hedge Craft draws from the most pragmatic aspects of witchcraft and shamanism, giving the witch a deeper understanding of their power and practical methods to access their potential. |

| hedge witch history: Espiritismo Hector Salva, 2022 Espiritismo is the Spanish word for Spiritism or Spiritualism, traditions that emerged to great popularity in the United States following the Civil War. These spiritual traditions traveled around the world where they evolved in different ways. In Puerto Rico, Espiritismo incorporates African and indigenous Taino influences and places a strong focus on healing and magic. The Puerto Rican influence on modern magic is largely unheralded, but it is profound. Puerto Rican immigration to the United States introduced Espiritismo to the spiritual landscape, strongly affecting the way magic was practiced in major cities such as New York. Today, many practices the white misa style of mediumship without awareness of its origins. Espiritismo is an insider's guide to this spiritual and magical system, explaining philosophy and also offering a hands-on guide to actual practice. Book jacket. |
| hedge witch history: In Defense of Witches Mona Chollet, 2022-03-08 Mona Chollet's In Defense of Witches is a “brilliant, well-documented” celebration (Le Monde) by an acclaimed French feminist of the witch as a symbol of female rebellion and independence in the face of misogyny and persecution. Centuries after the infamous witch hunts that swept through Europe and America, witches continue to hold a unique fascination for many: as fairy tale villains, practitioners of pagan religion, as well as feminist icons. Witches are both the ultimate victim and the stubborn, elusive rebel. But who were the women who were accused and often killed for witchcraft? What types of women have centuries of terror censored, eliminated, and repressed? Celebrated feminist writer Mona Chollet explores three types of women who were accused of witchcraft and persecuted: the independent woman, since widows and celibates were particularly targeted; the childless woman, since the time of the hunts marked the end of tolerance for those who claimed to control their fertility; and the elderly woman, who has always been an object of at best, pity, and at worst, horror. Examining modern society, Chollet concludes that these women continue to be harrassed and oppressed. Rather than being a brief moment in history, the persecution of witches is an example of society’s seemingly eternal misogyny, while women today are direct descendants to those who were hunted down and killed for their thoughts and actions. With fiery prose and arguments that range from the scholarly to the cultural, In Defense of Witches seeks to unite the mythic image of the witch with modern women who live their lives on their own terms. |

| hedge witch history: Cunning-folk Owen Davies, 2003 Local practitioners of magic, providing small-scale but valued services to the community, cunning-folk were far more representative of magical practice than the arcane delvings of astrologers and necromancers. Mostly unsensational in their approach, cunning-folk helped people with everyday problems: how to find lost objects; how to escape from bad luck or a suspected spell; and how to attract a lover or keep the love of a husband or wife. While cunning-folk sometimes fell foul of the authorities, both church and state often turned a blind eye to their existence and practices, distinguishing what they did from the rare and sensational cases of malevolent witchcraft. In a world of uncertainty, before insurance and modern science, cunning-folk played an important role that has previously been ignored. |

| hedge witch history: Lifting the Veil Janet Farrar, Gavin Bone, 2024-04-22 Written to fill the gap in available knowledge on trance, prophecy, deity-possession and mediumship within the neo-Pagan and Wiccan communities, Lifting the Veil has been developed from Janet Farrar and Gavin Bone's personal work and public workshops on trance-prophecy and ecstatic ritual over 25 years. The book covers the history and modern practice of trance as well as the methods of practice. It also explores the four keys to trance-prophecy, which include the importance of understanding mythical cosmology and psychology, understanding the role of energy in trance, the nature of spirits and deity, and understanding what trance is and the techniques involved. Because trance-prophecy is a very subjective process, the book includes descriptions of the personal experiences of others and transcriptions from several independent sessions by modern seers and priestesses. |

| hedge witch history: The Story of Witches Willow Winsham, 2025-03-14 The witch – malevolent, magical, multi-faceted - has walked among us for centuries. Demonic and deviant or liberated and revered, in this enchantingly illustrated book, Willow Winsham explores the many guises of the witch across folklore, history and superstition. From Hekate to Baba Yaga, from shape-shifting hares to Macbeth, the book starts with a rich dive into the ideas of the witch in myth, legend and fairytale. Next follows an exploration of popular belief and superstition during the witch trials across Europe and the United States, one of the most tumultuous and bloody of our collective history. The last section brings us to more recent times, exploring how how the image and identity of the witch has been reclaimed and reinvented, the significance of the Wheel of the Year, the advent of Wicca and modern Witchcraft and beyond. Finally and most crucially, we are left with the vital question: what have we learned from the past and what is the best way to approach our – often terrible – shared history of the witch? |
