a witch alone: 13 moons to master natural magic

You don’t have to belong to a coven to practice magic. You can connect to the rich and ancient heritage of the solitary witch. With only yourself to rely on, magic becomes an introspective act. Commune with nature on your own and form a deeper, stronger connection with the stars, the sun, and the moon. Learn to heal yourself. Gain peace from stress, and find new ways to cope with the turmoil of modern life. Talk to trees and heal with herbs. Learn how to follow patterns of the stars and the cycles of the sun and moon and see into the future.

＂Grant yourself the time and space to explore the world of witchcraft with patience and curiosity, following the threads of folk knowledge, mythology, and nature back to our pagan roots. If you can devote yourself to these studies, I promise you this: a lifetime of magic awaits.＂ --from the foreword by Celeste Larsen, author of Heal the Witch Wound

An invaluable guide for the solitary witch, Marian Green’s opus, A Witch Alone, is filled with lessons and spells, including information about herbal magic, moon magic, solar cycles, and methods for recovering the ＂Old Ways＂ in your daily life. Each chapter examines a different part of the pagan path, including information about herbs, the healing arts, moon magic, and solar cycles. For those intent on walking the witches’ road solo, A Witch Alone is the only companion you’ll need for the journey.
