Herbal Grimoire Hedge Witchery

Hedge Witchery with Melinda’s Enchanted Cottage, come and explore this unique tradition, a journey of realms and
Magick.

Hedge craft is fairly new but based in very old traditions dating back centuries. Throughout history “wise woman”
and “medicine man” traditions have risen and fallen, but never truly died out. In recent years, more and more people
are turning to these old traditions and adapting them to modern times.
The hedge itself has found its way into the craft and is a defining factor. The hedge is believed to separate our world
from the next as well as provide a physical barrier of protection from the stresses of the outside world. Hedge
witches are often said to be “Walking the Hedge,” “Riding the Hedge, “Jumping the Hedge,” or, “Flying the Hedge,”
meaning they have a tendency to spend much of their life with one foot on either side of the veil. They are able to
walk freely into caol ait, Gaelic for the “thin places.” Experienced hedgewitches are able to seek out these caol ait,
even when the hedge is thick, and use them effectively. This essentially means hedge witches spend their time hedge
riding or traveling to the Other world to interact with spirits to heal, perform magic, divine the future, seek
guidance, or just relax.
