A Hedge Witch's Handbook

Nature, Healing, Folklore and the Old Ways

Step beyond the garden hedge and rediscover a path shaped by nature, observation, folklore and the turning seasons.

The Foliate Way: A Hedge Witch’s Handbook is a comprehensive guide to developing a personal and grounded spiritual practice rooted in the living world. Written for newcomers and experienced practitioners alike, this substantial 427-page handbook brings together traditional wisdom, practical exercises and thoughtful reflection without demanding rigid beliefs or elaborate tools.

Within its pages, you will explore the foundations of hedge witchcraft, the Wheel of the Year, Moon cycles, herbs, trees, crystals, charms, simple remedies, dowsing, pendulums, divination, dreams, energy work, meditation, grounding and protection.

You will also discover household traditions, the importance of place, ethical practice, personal boundaries and the value of balancing intuition with discernment and responsibility.

Rather than telling you what a hedge witch must believe, this book invites you to observe, question, practise and discover what genuinely belongs within your own life.

The handbook also includes guided exercises, journal prompts, practical seasonal activities and a complete thirty-day Foliate Way practice to help you begin—or deepen—your journey.

Whether you are drawn to green witchcraft, folk magic, seasonal living, nature spirituality or the quiet wisdom of the old ways, this book offers a lasting companion for the path ahead.

Available as a Kindle eBook and a substantial 6×9 paperback.

The hedge is both boundary and meeting place.

The path begins wherever you are.
