Very quick and easy read. It was informative and comforting for beginners. I look forward to diving deeper into the topics and maybe checking out the books mentioned in this one.

Great for anyone looking to get into the basics of Green witchcraft. I enjoyed that in the very beginning the author breaks the common misbeliefs of being a witch such as Green witches needing to live in the countryside as opposed to a major city.
The first half is your basics on witchcraft. Dissecting the elements of each Astrological sign, setting up a magical space, list of Wiccan holidays and purposes of certain crystals are a few discussed. I was more interested in the second half of the book. There is a large list of plants, flowers, and trees along with their magical purposes, elements, chakras, and astrological sign. Then follows green witch spells with said earth elements.
I knew this was an introduction book but I was expected a bit more. There are portions where other references are said to be looked at instead. Always research more before using any of the items listed. There are some things I disagree with such as using white sage for smoking as it is going extinct. If you are looking for a substitute, rosemary is what I personally use and is easy to grow. There are plenty of sites online that list far more alternatives.
Great book for curious beginners and list of earth sources for witchcraft. May end up using this as a reference book from time to time.

First off, this book is lovely. I adore the crisp white pages with a peekaboo of green in the corners, the illustrations at the beginning of chapters and the little bursts of more in depth info pages made in different hues to have them stand out. The book was also a breeze to read through with the larger clear print and easygoing writing style as well. I read it start to finish it in about two hours (I’m a quick reader however). I know from the authors podcast that she’s very friendly to a wide variety of practitioners and any “level” they believe themselves to be at. She makes recommendations on books and the like to learn further if one so wishes on her show as well. This book was very similar to the work we know and love from Paige. It was very beginner friendly for anyone dipping their toes in and it made an effort to be inclusive as well as understanding of varying life circumstances. If I met someone knew to green witchery this is one book I would suggest now. I’ve been practicing for so long and I still found useful tidbits and nice reminders. It was a pleasure to read through. As a note, after seeing some reviews of others not finding the work in depth enough; there is a nice recommendations section IN her book if you were looking for more. This isn’t a deep dive kind of book but rather a nice easy sampler of techniques, correspondences, suggestions, uplifting and encouraging messages and a quick introduction into the world of green witchery.

I’ve really wanted to grow closer with the earth and myself. I’ve been spending more time on my spirituality, growing plants, spending more time in nature, seeking peace. I’m excited to try some of the suggestions in this book. A nice easy read.
I really liked the way this book was written it was easy to follow and I feel like the author didn't try to shove her ways down your throat and I loved that
