Research Paper On Green Witchcraft
Intro
So basically, Green Witchcraft (what I practice) is the practice of nature based and earth oriented witchcraft, centering around the magickal properties of trees, herbs, plants, and flowers. The spirits of nature and the Fey have a large part in Green Witchcraft Traditions. So, lots of people come to me saying “Mels I just got a window box, what should I plant?!” to which the short answer is “Whatever you want to plant”. But if you really want to get the most use out of your window box, you’ll want to have the herbs of a Green Witch’s arsenal.
Into the Basics!
Before you even buy a plant, you need to know what you’re getting yourself into. Maybe it’s just because of my craft, but I can’t stand or feel to see a plant die because of miscare …show more content…
You don’t make a human live their days out in a cramped cardboard box, so don’t make your plants do it either. Plants like lavender need A LOT of space to thrive, so keep that in mind.
What plants play nice together?
While technically this is your garden and technically you can do whatever you want with it, you’re going to want to be smart about it. You don’t put a bully in a playground full of innocents so your garden shouldn’t be any different. You’re going to want to look for herbs that do well with other herbs in an enclosed space. Back when I first started down my path, my mum got me a window box and said I could put anything I wanted in it, so I picked out chives, mint, and thyme. That window box didn’t last one season, and even ten years later, the mint is still causing chaos in my backyard.
Now that you’ve got the basics, here’s what this Green Witch has in their arsenal!
In my window boxes outside, I’ve planted the following (color coded so you know what’s together, if it’s black it means that it’s planted alone):
Rosemary: Protection, the all-around herb
Sage: Purification, Wisdom
Basil: Money, Love,
