Let me take you on a journey through the wilds of nature and back to the roots and bones of witchcraft, a natural witchcraft that works with the seasons and all the natural items that Mother Nature provides drawing on magical folk lore with a dash of hedge witch and gypsy magic too.
Sticks and twigs
If you are looking for sticks or twigs to use then I would encourage you to look on the ground first rather than cut them direct from the tree. The trees usually provide enough twiggy gifts without the need for cutting. However if you do need to cut a twig or small branch from a tree please do ask permission first, just let the tree know what you need it for and always cut cleanly, never rip it from the tree otherwise infection can set in.

Fire is a very powerful element well they all are really in their own special ways. Fire has the ability to cleanse and clear away through the force of destruction. Sometimes we do need to burn away negative influences and energy to be able to restart. Not literally of course, I am not encouraging anyone to burn down houses!
Fire can be used in spell work to burn petitions, to scry, for burning herbs and of course to provide heat for night time rituals. PLEASE… (I know I don’t really have to say this but…) if you are in the woods or forest area check that you are allowed to start a fire (a lot of places don’t give permission for obvious reasons). If you are given the go ahead make sure you take the proper precautions and don’t let it get out of hand, a fire in the woods or grassy fields can cause a huge amount of damage not only to the land and plants but also to the animals that live there.

Seeds
The offspring of plants and trees and each one has the potential for new beginnings…

Trees
This is such a huge subject it has books all to itself but I will cover just a little about our lovely trees.

It’s a fetish thing…No…not THAT kind of fetish…
The word ‘fetish’ possibly originates from a Portuguese word ‘feitico’ meaning charm or sorcery so essentially it is an item filled with magic and you will find versions of them in most cultures.

In the hedgerow...any hedgerow
We associate hedgerows with long winding country lanes but actually a lot of cities and towns have hedgerows even if it is just the one outside the front of your garden or alongside the local school.

At this time of year Mother Nature makes preparations for autumn; the air in the mornings and evenings begins to get a slight chill and not long from now the leaves will start to change colour and fall...but there is magic in 'them there' leaves...
Mother Nature provides a dizzying array of leaf colours and shapes which change throughout the year in some cases.
