Green witchcraft, also known as earth magic or nature-based witchcraft, is a spiritual path that honors the earth and its natural cycles. It is deeply rooted in ancient practices and is closely tied to the concept of living in harmony with the natural world. Green witches see themselves as caretakers of the earth and embrace a holistic approach to spirituality. They believe that all living beings are interconnected and share a divine energy. As such, they work to cultivate a sense of balance and harmony between themselves and nature. Ann Moira is a renowned green witch whose teachings and practices have greatly influenced the modern green witchcraft movement.

This type of Green Craft identifies the Goddess and the God in partnership with the Witch through a Self-Initiation for introduction and learning, and later by complete union in a Self-Dedication. There are rituals of religious observance including Sabbats and Esbats, and special days honoring aspects and manifestations of the Divine throughout the Wheel of the Year, the latter may be added to the personal calendar according to those aspects of the Divine recognized by the Practitioner.

The Spirit of the Garden is one of tranquility and growing life, of purposefulness and awareness of the value of root, stem, leaf, and flower, and of knowing that those who visit and tend the plants are at one with them. Those who walk the path are in union with the Lady and the Lord of Nature, whose pleasure it is to see Their children grow and bear fruit. Here the cycles of Nature repeat in the endless rhythm of the Wheel of the Year, carrying the nuance of each changing season with the gentle harmony and transition of energy through Gaia's cauldron of rebirth.
At the various sites along the path there are things to see and read about my writings, my family path, my activities, and how to contact me. I have been happy to present my Craft heritage in several books, and I am delighted that the duplicate of my personal grimoire in the book, "The Grimoire For The Green Witch," is a Coalition of Visionary Resources Award winner!
I hope you enjoy your stroll through the virtual garden, and when you have seen all you choose, come visit the Gazebo before departing. I bid you welcome to my world in which everything is alive and everything contains a portion of the Divine Spirit. My path is animistic and pantheistic, so do not be surprised to see me speak to plants and stones, to animals and trees, to the seen and the unseen. To me, all are connected and sentient, and all that is needed for communication is taking the time to do so. May the Goddess and the God bless your feet which take you on your path.
Brightest Blessings,
Ann Moura [Aoumiel]

Green witches often grow their own gardens of magical herbs and utilize the medicinal and spiritual properties of plants in their practices. They believe that by working with nature's tools, they can tap into the earth's wisdom and harness its power. One of the key aspects of green witchcraft is the celebration of the Wheel of the Year, which consists of eight seasonal festivals known as Sabbats. These festivals mark the changing seasons and honor the earth's cycles of birth, growth, harvest, and rest. Green witches often gather in nature to celebrate these Sabbats, engage in rituals, and express gratitude for the abundance of the earth. Another important aspect of green witchcraft is the practice of divination. Green witches may use tools such as tarot cards, oracle cards, pendulums, or scrying mirrors to gain insight and guidance from the spiritual realm. They believe that by tapping into their intuition and communing with nature, they can access hidden knowledge and receive messages from the divine. Overall, green witchcraft is a deeply spiritual practice that encourages its practitioners to live in harmony with nature, honor the earth, and cultivate a deep connection with the natural world. Through rituals, spells, and divination, green witches seek to tap into the earth's energy and wisdom for healing, spiritual growth, and personal transformation. The teachings of Ann Moira have greatly contributed to the development and popularity of this nature-based spiritual path..
