PaganSquare.com - WitchesAndPagans.com 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.
Devas/Plant Spirits
All plants have spirits, and to connect with the magical property of each plant it is my suggestion that you talk to the spirit within it, make a connection. This is easily done, if you don’t mind the neighbours thinking you are slightly mad.

A garden altar
Having an outdoor altar is a lovely idea and gives you a magical focal point in the garden. You can use it to leave offerings for the Fae or to deity but also as a focal point to sit outside and meditate in front of. It can be as simple as a flat stone or piece of wood or something grander involving wood, stones, shells and even mirrors and statues. Make sure whatever you place on the altar with the intent of leaving it out is biodegradable and won’t harm wildlife if they decide to take a nibble (or your pets). I like to leave natural spells on my garden altar whilst the magic works.

Plant Ink
It can be fun to make ink from plants. The ink can then be used in magical workings, especially if you correspond the colour and the plant used in the ink to the intent of the spell. I like to use it to write out petitions.

Plant dyes
Roots, nuts and flowers can provide you with natural dyes. Collect flowers in full bloom and make sure any nuts or berries you use are ripe. Experiment with different plant materials to create a variety of colours.

Often one of the first signs that spring is on the way, these pretty little flowers grow in woodlands, meadows and are cultivated in gardens. The crocus brings with it the promise of spring, new projects, new ideas and new ventures and if you are looking for it – new love.

(Cyclamen spp)
Growing in the cooler months cyclamen come in a variety of colours – red, pink and white, pretty little flowers on the ends of stalks that rise up from a bed of ivy shaped leaves.
