A Complete Reference Guide For the Green Witch

Years ago, Green Witchcraft changed my magical path. Ann Moura's series of books were the first books about the Craft that really taught what I wanted to learn. Not just Wicca, but how to see the Divine in nature and use the energy around us. Grimiore of the Green Witch is a handy, easy to use reference with spells, rituals and many correspondence tables. It's the perfect companion to her other books. Though they will teach the basic ideas behind the path of the Green Witch, this grimoire puts the lessons to use. This is not a rehash of the series. It assumes the reader is familliar with the rest of her books, but this volume is only the Book of Shadows. Some of the spells and rituals can be found in Green Witchcraft I, II, and III. There are some new tidbits as well. Even if, like me, you have all of her other books, it is still a helpful addition to one's magical library. It has saved me a lot of time looking up information from the books in the Green Witchcraft series. It's great having everything in one volume. If you are only interested in a spell book, this would still be a good buy. There are also recipies for teas and oils. Tables include herbs, stones, magical hours, as well as Ogham and Elder Futhark runes.

Excellent Reference Book

This book has everything you can possibly need, whether you are a beginner or advanced practitioner, it is a true working BOS. It includes all of the standard holiday and ritual information and it is presented in a precise, non-fluff way. I particularly like the fact there are so many tables, planetary guides, sigils, runes etc. The type of info you can't seem to find anywhere else is all compiled neatly here with room to add on at the end of every chapter. She also added several tea recipes, I found to be rather charming. What this book isn't is a book of spells, if you are looking for one of those, I suggest you look elsewhere.

Very Thorough

Let me start by saying that I like Ann Moura's books, for the most part. To each his/her own, of course. If you don't like her other writings, you may not like this one either. But if you DO like her other writings, then you will LOVE this book!It is extremely thorough, well written as a ritual and spell book, and NOT a teaching book at all. If you are looking for a teaching book, get "Green Witchcraft III." This is the compilation of all the rituals and magical work from her earlier books, all written out and put into one manual. They are easy to find, easy to follow, flow together very well, and she includes a ton of extra information so it is right at your fingertips. No more hunting around and thinking "Where did I read that??"Again, to each his own, but I think this is a wonderful grimoire.
