Book Review: The Green Witch: Your Complete Guide to the Natural Magic of Herbs, Flowers, Essential Oils, and More
If you’ve ever felt a pull toward the forest, found calm in a cup of chamomile tea, or found yourself talking to your houseplants (guilty!), then The Green Witch might just be your next spiritual companion. This beautifully written book by Arin Murphy-Hiscock is more than just a guide—it’s an invitation to slow down, listen to nature, and discover the quiet, grounded path of green witchcraft.
An Earthy Embrace for Beginners and Seasoned Witches Alike
Unlike some books that lean heavily into spellwork or ceremony, The Green Witch takes a more intuitive and nurturing approach. It celebrates the everyday magic in gardening, cooking, aromatherapy, and even just observing the natural cycles around you. It’s less about memorizing rituals and more about developing a personal relationship with nature.
This makes it a particularly great fit for women who are ready to explore spiritual growth without needing an altar full of tools or a deep dive into Wiccan tradition. It’s also a gentle way in for those of us in midlife who are reconnecting with our intuition, looking to slow down, or simply feeling called to something more rooted.
What You’ll Find Inside
- Herbal profiles and magical uses for common plants (nothing too obscure!)
- Seasonal rituals and daily practices
- Ideas for working with essential oils, crystals, and the elements
- A strong emphasis on personal empowerment and quiet observation
There’s also a beautiful message woven throughout the book: you are enough, your intuition is valid, and your connection with nature is sacred—no fancy robes or Latin chants required.
Murphy-Hiscock writes with clarity and compassion. There’s no gatekeeping or judgment here, just encouragement to walk your own path and trust your instincts. It’s like having a wise forest-dwelling aunt whispering in your ear, “You already know how to do this. Just listen.”
This book won’t turn you into a cauldron-stirring spellcaster overnight—but that’s exactly why I loved it. It’s practical, peaceful, and deeply feminine in its wisdom. Perfect for your bedside table, your garden tote, or wrapped in a soft cloth and tucked into your daily basket of herbs.
Highly recommended for:
- Women craving spiritual connection through nature
- Beginner witches or solitary practitioners
- Crafty souls who already make their own teas, salves, or garden beds
- Anyone looking for a little more magic in the everyday
The Green Witch is a soft, steady light on the path. And for many of us, that’s exactly the kind of magic we need.
