Plant Witchery: Discover the Sacred Language, Wisdom, and Magic of 200 Plants - Juliet Diaz 2020
What Is a Plant Witch?
What is Plant Witchery?
Plant Witchery is more than just a path or practice—it is a devotional pact between Mother Earth, Earth spirits, and the inner self. It is a promise to walk a path that honors the wisdom, medicine, and Magic that lives within our Mother Earth and ourselves. The Earth holds the spirits of our ancestors; they speak to us through nature. The mountains, rivers, oceans, skies, caves, rocks, stones, animals, trees, plants, dirt, bones, roots, and the self—these are the ways a Plant Witch communicates with Magic.
The Plant Witch is one with the Earth and acknowledges the sacred self. She also honors the seasons, as well as the messages, lessons, and wisdom they bring. She sees beauty in the cycles of life, death, and rebirth. The Moon and the stars are her divine compass, and they help her to navigate along her path with a pure heart and truth in her soul. The Plant Witch practices with natural Magic. By working with nature to ground, balance, and shift her life, she heals herself and others. She cherishes the environment as much as she cherishes herself.
Plant Witchery is not an appropriative practice—while this book references Indigenous and cultural practices from all over the world, it is never my intention to call those practices my own, or claim a right to them that I do not have. I myself am an Indigenous Witch, but I am not taking from Native American culture or practices and mixing it into a “new” path and calling it my own. A Plant Witch would never do this, for a Plant Witch respects the identity of others. The practice I am introducing you to here is one that belongs to all the children of the Earth. There are no set rules, no right or wrong ways to practice Plant Witchery. It is meant for you to mold and adjust to fit who you are as an individual.
The purpose of this book is to empower people to step into their innate gift of being able to connect and communicate with our Earth—to embody the Plant Witch in all her Magic.
This book goes far beyond just teaching about the medicinal and Magical properties of plants, as it holds information you can get only from me, including my experiences with plants and what they taught me, along with their wisdom and ways to use them as companions in your craft and daily life. Plants, herbs, and roots aren’t just their properties, they are living, breathing, and chatty Magical creatures. I want to teach you how to communicate with plants, to learn from them, and work with them. How can you tell if a plant is happy or not? How can you hear what it has to say? In this book, you will learn how to understand their language through energy and connection—through Magic.
Plant Witchery will help you discover the truth hidden within our Mother’s heartbeat, a drumming only heard when you reach into your core and wake your true wisdom. You will learn to embrace nature like never before, as you become one with all of its creatures and amplify your Magic to its fullest potential. Plant Witchery is for those who are serious about taking their practice to a deeper spiritual path, for those who want to connect to the wise energies living within nature.
