The Fairy Faith in Celtic Countries by W.Y. Evans-Wentz is a timeless fairy book from the early twentieth century that every green witch should read. It gives an idea as to how the belief in fairies was widespread over the continent of Europe. Even my kids love hearing the fairy stories in this book! 5. Wildflower Folklore Imagine a small balcony or windowsill teeming with pots of herbs, flowers, and even vegetables. Even if you don’t have a yard, you can cultivate a connection with plants. Grow basil, rosemary, or lavender; nurture a flower or two. Not only do these provide you with fresh ingredients for spells and rituals, but they also create a living link to Earth’s energies.
The Druidry Handbook: Spiritual Practice Rooted in the Living Earth” by John Michael Greer. While centered on Druidry, this book shares much in common with Green Witchcraft, emphasizing a deep connection with the Earth.
Picture your living room transformed into a green oasis with potted plants, hanging baskets, and perhaps a terrarium. Indoor plants like pothos, snake plants, or spider plants not only beautify your space but also purify the air and bring in nature’s vibrancy. Caring for them can be a daily ritual, a way of honoring the green world even within walls. This new herbal guide by Maia Toll and Kate O’Hara will have you gawking at the beautiful artwork. 36 bewitching botanicals are detailed within. 4. The Witching Herbs We have a responsibility to tell the truth about the past, so far as we are able to do so. We have a responsibility not to do violence to it, just as we have a responsibility not to do violence in the present […] In the end we contribute neither to world peace nor to saving the planet by romanticizing the past. We must ensure that our story about the past is not at odds with the evidence, precisely so that we do not end up harming the very people— the very planet— that we are so intent, in our well-meaning way, on trying to save.”Another of my problems is with capitalizing things to make them more significant---here we have the White Lady, Wild Magic, the Lady of the Sea, the Law, High Magic, and Cold Spells. They're mentioned but nothing is really explained. What exactly is this Law we're hearing about for the first time? Why would using Cold Spells cause the evil painter to be detected? Does that mean there are Hot Spells and Warm Spells and Lukewarm Spells? What's the difference between them? What's the difference between Wild and High Magic? Does that mean there is a Middle or Medium or Intermediary Magic? No answers here. I really liked watching eerie series protagonist Will Stanton through their eyes. All of the little moments when they catch him acting like he's much older than his actual age or hiding his powers were fun and also, well, eerie. Especially that surprising moment when he just up and runs off of a cliff. Odd kid, that Will. The writing is, as with the other books, very fine: there are some excellent set-pieces, for example when Will and Merriman travel beneath the sea to meet Tethys, or Jane looking out over the harbour — even the descriptions of the caravan. It's also interesting to see the Drews drawn further into the deeper parts of the plot. It's always strange to me to realise how little they know. The characterisation of them is brilliant -- they're such ordinary kids, so resentful of another kid "interfering". When it comes to spectacle and sheer blessed creativity, this one far overpasses anything Cooper had done before. Sure, there may not be as much action-adventure as the previous books--but ohmygollygracious, that scrying scene! painting spells! Tethys! the haunting! Reading this, there was hardly a moment when my toes weren't curling and my eyes bugging with delight.

Ellen Dugan: Known as the “Garden Witch,” her books frequently touch upon herbs, gardening, and nature-based magic. Greenwitch by Susan Cooper is the second in the Dark is Rising series. I disagree with making Over Sea, Under Stone the first in the series. It's really more of a standalone. I'd call it a prequel except it was written before the other four. The events of OSUS relate to this book so it's helpful to read it, but not necessary. The Forager’s Harvest by Samuel Thayer is a book that should be on every green witch’s bookshelf. If you’re a green witch, you’re a natural forager. Learn how to properly identify, harvest, and prepare edible wild plants with this guide. 2. Foraging and Feasting
For covens who prefer meeting outdoors, perhaps in a garden or a deep forest clearing, The Green Witch is a delightful guide to nature magic. It’s filled with practical recipes for herbal blends and potions, the properties of essential oils, and lots of ideas for healing and relaxation.” —Bustle

Compared to the previous two books, the feeling of danger in this one isn’t ever present, yet we certainly have unsettling moments—be it in the strange artist’s curious paintings that have unexpected power as does the art decorating his caravan, to the uncanny image of the Greenwitch and the feeling it inspires, or the formidable forces even the old ones must face as they carry out their quest. And then there are the eerie elements, a dreamy space where time isn’t quite stable and also spaces or rather periods of time where magic is at work and its objects unaware they have even been touched.
