Honestly, green magick is a style of magick that works well with any tradition or personal eclectic practice. It is so much more than just gardening and herbs. This is a mind set and it teaches you how to work in harmony with your own flora, fauna, and the seasons. No matter what part of the world you happen to live in. Or what time of year it happens to be. Especially at this time of year when we are hovering between winter and the beginning of spring. Green Magick is "indeed all around you.
"I always get a kick out of my student's reactions when they discover the truth about green magick. It is extremely gratifying to see them have their ah-ha! "moment. For once they make that connection to the natural world, they never look at magick the same way again. They learn to tap into the rhythms of the seasons. To flow with the cycles of nature and to appreciate the magick that is found in the part of the world that they call home.
Which makes green magick intensely personal and unique for each individual practitioner. For folks who hate the "cookie cutter Wicca stuff", green magick is your answer. Embrace the idea and bring something personal and different into your Craft.
Here in Missouri, spring has been flirting with us and giving us a hint of what is to come for the past few days... I was able to get out and take my walks enjoying the sunshine, and the 60 degree temperatures for a couple of days this week. Just before the big cold front came through. We have had high winds for the past couple of days, and it is damp and chilly- more like February again. But, I think we are supposed to get some mild warmer weather this coming week!
While I was out on my walks I saw patches of bright yellow crocus blooming around the neighborhood. It was so cheerful. Especially against all that brown winter grass.
I also noticed a lot of buds swelling on trees. I hope they hold off for a while... Winter is not done with us yet. While we are enjoying the classic "February Thaw", we still have about a month to go before spring officially arrives.
However, the wheel of the year is turning! Celebrate the seasons and their magick, however they manifest in your neck of the woods. Explore green magick, open your heart to nature, and see where it leads you.
