Now of course, I know the old saying- 'you can't please everyone.' (And I would not at all read into her actions or beliefs due to this!!) Africa is a pretty damn big continent to "overlook." IMHO the information included from Egypt really overlooks divide on the continent that exists today. However, as a witch who also happens to be African American heritage, it seemed incomprehensible and hurtful to me that no deities of the continent of Africa were included. Particularly if not of the Western world- so I do acknowledge and applaud her effort in this regard. I do understand that compiling deities from around the world takes a great deal of time, sleuthing, and effort. (I think it helped me to manifest the wonderful apartment that I live in right now!) Finally, my only bone to pick with the author has to do with a section on hearth deities. Also personally, after several years of moving from sub par apartment to sub par apartment, I really enjoyed this focus on making your home a sacred place and had overlooked the significance of such an act. I think that most people would be able to find something in this book that is useful. However, a more experienced hedge witch may disagree. It's abundantly clear to me that the author was divinely inspired to pursue this information! I think that this is a great place for a beginner to start. This book is written in every day easy to understand language and is very down to earth. This book helped me to connect with the more divine knowledge that I have (that we ALL have) and helped me to focus less on formula, someone else's script, and more on what feels right to me as a witch. I must say that while I was relatively uninformed when I read this book about hedge craft, I thoroughly enjoyed the authors explanations and emphasis on the elements of hedge craft (which I interpreted as "Trust your gut"). I had no idea what to expect but was intrigued by the title, hedge witchery and ways for making your home more special.

~ Phyllida Anam-Aire, A Celtic Priestess.I purchased this book last winter near the time of its release. Harmonia, keep reminding us of our true nature, our divine beingness.
#HEDGE WITCH FULL#
What I really like about Harmonia’s book “Hedge Witchcraft ” is that it is full of soul, full of who we all are, and maybe have forgotten. She whispers to us, ” Remove the line that lies between you and the hills, lakes, rivers, oceans” And she is by our side as we follow her whispers. At times I felt I was being lead into a deep meditation with sentences like “feel the rough bark of the tree, …hum, sing, whistle as you join the sounds of nature” etc. You feel nature seeping into your heart, wide open to absorb each line fully, with delight and often with awe. Somehow, you get close to the soul of the author, and you get closer to yourself as she walks her talk in each page. You won’t just read this book, you will have a deep beautiful experience of the connectedness of all beings. This is exactly what you the reader will do when you take her book, Hedge Witchcraft into your heart. Harmonia writes, “When you touch something you directly connect with it”. Anyone, Witch or otherwise, who feels a true affinity with Nature will appreciate the explanations and teachings found in these books. Harmonia rectifies that oversight with her revelations of that practice as it may be followed throughout the year. Hedge Witchcraft is often mentioned ‘in passing’ but seldom examined in detail.

Harmonia Saille’s two books on Hedge Witchcraft are a true delight, being both informative and entertaining. For a book on magical practice, Magic for Hedge Witches is on.

Please read my accompanying book in the Pagan Portal series, Hedge Riding. It only has a little about hedge riding as this book has too small a scope to include it. This book will guide you if you wish to read more about hedge witchcraft as a pathway, or are already following such a path and wish to progress. In this way, this book is based on my own experiences as a hedge witch living in Ireland and following a Celtic path. The path of a hedge witch is very much an individual one, and it is a solitary practice. There is no dogma attached to hedge witchcraft. Learning by experiencing is about trusting your instincts and connecting with your inner spirit. As Aristotle said, ‘For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them.’ Hedge witchery in general is experiential and a slow and natural progression of interests and events often experienced from childhood and persisting all through your life.
