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.

Noted green witch and herbalist Susan Ilka Tuttle, creator of the beloved Instagram handle @Whisper in the Wood, shows you how to forage, grow, and work with the plants integral to your green witchcraft practice.

• Set up your own green witch garden
• Work with both wild and cultivated plants in concert with natural cycles
• Co create with plant allies to make natural remedies, recipes and elixirs, and supplies for spellwork

In addition to mastering the practical aspects of green witchery, youll learn the energetic and magickal properties of plants and how to effectively use them in ritual and spellwork. For example, did you know that plants associated with the moon are connected to sleep, intuition, and lucid dreams while plants connected with the element of air are connected with psychic powers, intellect, and wisdom?
