Hedges and Herbs

A place to celebrate my connection to the mother.  Hedge witchery, herbalism, magic spells and divinatory arts call to me and so I create this space to gather knowlege, hone my skills, and expand my horizons.

Where to begin?  It seems overwhelming.  I think the moon is a great place to start. Studying the moon is a great way to start exploring our connection to nature.  With her different phases and mysterious effects on plants, animals, and even the oceans, she's a cornerstone of my practice.

Another important way for me to connect with the mother is keeping in tune with the weather and the seasons.  The pagan wheel of the year and a trusty old almanac help me stay in touch with the natural cycle.

The wheel shows how the pagan holidays fit into this cycle.

The simplest way to connect with the mother is simply to touch her.  Go outside. Talk to trees. Grow herbs.  Linger in the hedges and forage wild food.
