The Story & Details
For the witch who would rather have dirt under her nails than glitter on her altar.
The Green Witch Illustrated by Arin Murphy-Hiscock is an illustrated exploration of natural witchcraft, bringing together plant lore, herbal traditions, practical magic and the everyday relationship between people and the natural world.
Beautifully illustrated by Sara Richard, this edition takes the teachings of The Green Witch and brings them to life through rich botanical artwork, natural imagery and an approach to witchcraft that begins with understanding the world around you.
Inside, you'll explore the role of plants, herbs, flowers and trees within green witchcraft, alongside spells, recipes, rituals and practical ways to incorporate natural materials into your own practice.
It's the sort of book that belongs somewhere between your bookshelf, your kitchen and your garden. Something to return to, experiment with and actually use rather than simply admire.

Old Knowledge, Everyday Practice
Green witchcraft places the natural world at the centre of personal practice. It draws on observation, seasonal rhythms, traditional plant associations and a relationship with the environment that develops through experience rather than following a rigid set of rules.
This illustrated edition offers an accessible introduction for those beginning to explore natural witchcraft, while providing inspiration for more experienced practitioners who want to deepen their understanding or revisit familiar ideas from a different perspective.
And you don't need an elaborate altar or an entire cupboard of dried herbs to begin. Curiosity, a willingness to learn and a little attention to the world outside your door are perfectly good starting points.
A note on herbal safety: Not all plants are safe to ingest, burn or apply to the skin. Always identify plants correctly and check appropriate safety guidance before using botanical materials in preparations or rituals.
