Hedgewitch: An enchanting fantasy adventure brimming with mystery and magic (Book 1)

Product Information

To hedge ride, the witch must enter an altered state of consciousness (ASC). This can be done using a variety of techniques, including drumming, dancing, chanting, flying ointments, or even mind-altering drugs. While I don't condone the use of mind-altering drugs, they certainly have a place among traditional hedge witches. Flying ointments, which can and often do contain entheogenic herbs, are thusly named because they allow you to enter an ASC and thus fly or hedge ride to other worlds. Historical recipes vary rather greatly and rely most heavily on the works of witch hunters. However, from these folk remedies, we can glean an understanding that they likely contained a sort of fat combined with mildly hallucinogenic plants. I'll discuss these in more detail later in the series. Kitchen Witch - Level 1 & 2.

The journey to becoming a hedge witch is to trust your abilities, your instincts, and to often push your own boundaries to see beyond the veil. The practice of seeing beyond the veil holds the knowledge between the apparent and the unseen, but also all the things in life that are more below the surface. It is embarking on the journey of understanding the layers to the world around us and accessing the knowledge present in our ancestral guides. Ready for more?

There will always be realms that will yet have to be explored! Trust Is The Key

Hedgewitch horse oil has natural antioxidant and antibacterial properties to help support the health and resilience of your horse’s skin through the winter months.Our hedgewitch has come up with a sustainable alternative to pig oil and it’s made specifically to meet the needs of horses. We've added lavender essential oil to support the function and health of the skin and it also brings some anti-bacterial activity. Hedgewitch horse oil is 100% plant-based and can be used in exactly the same way as pig oil (white oil from petrochemicals), traditionally used on feathers and legs to waterproof them; help prevent ‘bog burn’ and mud fever; and to discourage mites. It can also be applied sparingly to the mane and tail to leave the hair silky and tangle-free, and to the coat for a glossy shine. Trees hold a very sacred place in the heart of a hedgewitch, with four trees, in particular, being the first trees we begin to learn the Language of Life from. The course explains the significance of these four trees in the spirituality and practices of a hedgewitch: The Oak King, Grandmother Willow, Sister Birch, and Grandfather Yew.

The Hedgewitchery Diploma Course begins by providing a gentle introduction to the subject. This includes an exploration of the primary components of hedgewitchery and its practices, who hedgewitches were, where the term came from, and how the practice can be applied today. Alongside this, you will gain insight into the various branches of witchcraft and how hedgewitchery differs to these other forms. Spiritually, hedgewitches vary greatly and it largely depends on the individual. Many use their heritage or pull from more formal practices. However, many hedgewitches, like myself, have little interest in the religious and ceremonial aspects commonly found in covens and traditional witchcraft. They are less likely to perform scripted magical workings, preferring to follow their instincts. For the Hedgewitch, their normal life is also their magical one. I do, however, believe your interpretation of the message was correct. If you are indeed experiencing a transformation, its possible this is a message that the old you is fading away, giving way to growth and change. Change is good and it may be the dread you are experiencing is because you are afraid of this change, at least subconsciously. Both orange oil and peppermint help relieve itching and contribute to the deterrent effect on insects.

The 'hedge' in 'hedgewitch' and 'hedge riding' has multiple meanings, the most prominent being the boundary separating the our world from the 'Otherworld.' The hedge also represents a physical and psychic protective boundary, thus separating spirit from human. Hedgewitches are said to hedge ride or 'ride the hedge (fly the hedge in my case),' meaning hedgewitches routinely cross the veil into the spirit otherworld. But what exactly is hedge riding?
