"The Path of the Hedge Witch is a delightful book--a rich
compendium of lore and packed full of insight and practical
guidance to form your own path into Hedge Witchcraft, drawing on
deep roots and solid experience. Joanna's books are always a treat
and this is a sound and trusted guide to those new to the practice,
covering all you need to know to weave your own traditional magic
and showing you how to fly over the hedge and far away! Highly
recommended."--Danu Forest, author of Celtic Tree Magic and Wild
Magic "Reading this book is like coming home. Joanna van der Hoeven
leads us between the worlds, exploring the path of the hedge witch,
while encouraging us to weave our own relationship with the
Mysteries. Practical and poetic, The Path of the Hedge Witch opens
a portal to the immanent divinity of the natural world, guiding us
to learn the art of hedge riding with a magical compendium of
ritual, spellcraft, plant allies and folklore. I am utterly
enchanted."--Danielle Blackwood, author of The Twelve Faces of the
Goddess and A Lantern in the Dark
"The Path of the Hedge Witch is a charming walk down the path of
the country Witch, blending the practical and the Otherworldly with
ease and grace. Author Joanna van der Hoeven has written a truly
original book on solitary Witchcraft for those who wish to make a
deeper connection to nature in their own way."--Deborah Blake,
author of The Eclectic Witch's Book of Shadows and Everyday
Witchcraft
"Joanna provides a comprehensive, up to date and personal account
of her hedge witch path and practices. In this book, the reader is
treated to both thorough research as well as the poetic beauty of
our wild world. Whether an advanced practitioner, or beginner on
the path of Hedgewitchery, this book provides all you need to make
hedge riding and simple natural magic a part of your life."--Moss
Milne, founder of Spiral Path: Seasonal, Slow and Spiritual Living,
an online resource "Joanna has written an enchanting and practical
book about natural magic that will appeal both to the beginner and
advanced practitioner alike. Written in an easy conversational
style, she offers simple everyday practices that can easily be
incorporated into everyday life. Above all, she encourages us to
listen to our hearts and souls rather than follow complex,
established traditions, and emphasises the importance of trusting
our own experience as we explore the beauty and wisdom of the
natural world. An invaluable handbook for the budding hedge
witch!"--Mara Freeman, author of Kindling the Celtic Spirit and
director of the Avalon Mystery School "This book is an absolute joy
to read. It is both simple and profound. It guides the reader step
by step in the core practice of the hedge witch (spirit travelling
into the Otherworld--known as hedge riding.) And, all is presented
in the context of natural magic and nature's cycles. The author's
approach is non-dogmatic, encouraging everyone towards an
individual and creative approach. She knows from experience just
how to walk with one foot in Faerie and one in the Everyday
World--without recourse to hallucinogens--and she tells us about it
and what can be gained from it. This is the real deal. Although it
is written for beginners, it made me think, and it reinspired me. I
give it ten stars!"--Rae Beth, author of Hedge Witch
