The Green Witch
“You are the sister to the wolf and friend to the hawk. You know in your heart the language of the plants and the songs of the wind. You have an innate connection to the wild edges. You know the beauty of the bee in flight, and hear the call of freedom on the horizon. And yet, as you go through your day today, it may be easy to miss the drumcall of the Earth.”
– Wild Woman, The Sacred Pregnancy Journey Deck by Anni Doulter
The Green Witch embraces nature by drawing on the energies from the earth and of untamed things.
They commune with the land, with stones and gems. They connect with plants, flowers and herbs. She calls to nature for guidance and respects every living being.
They are the true definition of nature relatedness.
The Green Witch understands that the earth incorporates the planet and all living things upon it, including animals, plants, and people. They understand that humanity impacts the natural world , not only by how we treat it but also by the feelings and energies of individuals.
It’s likely the spiritual ancestors of modern green witches who chose to live apart from the center of community life. Though they may have made their homes on the edge of town, they much would’ve preferred to make their homes in nature.
For it is harder to hear what Earth has to say when you are surrounded by the hustle and bustle of busy life.
Am I a Green Witch?
You might be a green witch if:
- You love making your own ritual tools from found objects in nature and often planning for the energies contained within them.
- You are an animal and/or environmental activist.
- You consider the source of objects and bring awareness regarding ethically sourced minerals, endangered herbs, and other such environmental impacts.
- You work with Animal Guides and Plant Spirits.
- You love spending time hiking, or in parks and gardens.
- You feel nature’s cycles and rhythms and can see the life, death, and rebirth in them.

The modern green witch may struggle to connect to the earlier knowledge of the wild. The green witch can now serve as a bridge between the old ways and the new by honoring the Earth’s energy as it exists in the world today.

Thank you so much, for helping me understand myself better. I’ve always known I was special, but I never knew how special being a green witch is. Everything makes sense now. I’m embracing it, and my family embraces it with me. So again thank you very much.
Eloquently put. Thanks so much.
