A green witch is typically a witch who specializes and focuses on natural materials and energies. They are often skilled herbalists and probably enjoys gardening. Like a lot. You might be a baby green witch or an experienced one. Maybe even an eclectic one, no matter what, all is welcome!
I am most certainly not entitled to knowing everything about green witches but I want to help out some people when stuck on not knowing what to research.
As always, enjoy!

This is your reminder to put some water outside for birds, squirrels and other small animals in summer!
In summer it can be very hard for them to find something to drink, so please put either a flat plant saucer or (if the bowl/pot you put is deeper) place a big stone inside or next to it, so they can reach the water safely.
Its hard to tell if I’m supposed to fight against the slamming door, or if I’m supposed to accept it. Welcome to the season of growth, I truly hope I come out of this wiser and happier.
When reading palms, whether your own or someone else’s, these are the main things to consider:
Which hand is dominant? For right-handed people, the left hand gives information about inherited characteristics and potential, while the righthand reveals the development, character, and life events. The opposite is true for left-handed folks!
Quality of lines and their points of intersection. How strong or fine are the lines? Are they straight and long, broken and twisted, etc.?
The directions of lines, which mounts they occur on or near, and their influences.
Shape of the hand, fingers, nails, and mounts.
General demeanor of the person and the hand.
MAJOR LINES
Each line has its own meaning and depicts a certain course of action in a person’s life. Lines come in all shapes and sizes. Not everyone has all six of these lines, although the first three are always present (the fate line is usually present as well).
Heart line: emotions, insecurities, marriages, dependence and independence, the nature of your relationships.
Head line: intellect, reasoning powers, prospective career paths, potentials for success.
Life line: pattern and quality of life, physical vitality, stability or imbalance, will power and logic, not necessarily the indicator for length of your life.
Fate/Saturn line: strengths of character, career, friendships, life’s daily problems, and general ability to succeed.
Mercury/Health line: health matters, business and adventure, the spirit of discovery.
Apollo/Sun line: utilization of creative energies and potentials for success through development of talents.
MOUNTS
The mounts are fleshy cushions underneath each of the fingers. These mounts carry the same name as the finger they are under. Below are the different character and personality traits associated with each finger/mount.
These are just a few of the figurative markings that are commonly seen on the hand. They add meaning to the lines or mounts they are near.
Branches: emphasize strengths.
Breaks in lines: emphasize weaknesses.
Chains: signify obscure goals, inclinations to deviate.
Crosses: signify upheavals, violence, struggles, and blunders.
Islands: indicate delays, injuries, and problems.
Stars: emphasize luckiness.
*** I will be posting more about palmistry soon, including more detailed variations of the lines and mounts! In the meantime, feel free to ask me about your palms… sending me a picture would be AMAZING :~)

I am the shadow of a forest lake, whose waters wash the grey shores of sorrow. My half-sisters are drowned, their souls dissolving in the muddy water, wandering behind me on gray cloudy evenings, trying to grab the hem of my dress. I am a shadow without voice, without name, without age and memory of the past. Sometimes in the monochrome ripples of the water I could read the words, in its hieroglyphs of shadows and reflections, the words spoken before the Exodus, before the inevitable death, the words of the doomed. At such moments, like a cold stone snake penetrated into my heart, and pain fettered all my inside. I tried to erase the words with the darkness that enveloped me, but in vain. My tears could not erase the pain that soaked the waters of this lake. I was just a shadow, one that couldn’t change the flow of time and the flow of water. I could only watch. Then, overcoming a shiver, I lay down on the water and looked into the gray sky, hidden by a veil of clouds that were so inaccessible, and it seemed to me in them, as in this lake, there is the same shadow that could only feel the coldness of this lake of tears.

(based on a recipe from Sacred Year, by Anni Daulter)
2 ounces of dried rose petals
4 - 6oz honey
10 - 12 ounces of vodka or brandy
1 pint canning jar
Mix together in the jar and let infuse in a cool place protected from sunlight (you might also like to charge up your elixir under the full moon or new moon).
(This elixir is intended to offer support with anxiety or emotional stress. It can be dropped under the tongue, stirred into water or tea, or added to a bath)
DESCRIPTION:A coarse perennial, 3-6 ft. tall with numerous large, yellow composite flowers. Each flower head has 20-30 yellow rays and darker yellow disks. Stout leaves are joined at stem to form a small cup that holds water and attracts birds.(Wildflower Center) This species has square stems and leaves that are mostly opposite, egg-shaped, toothed, with cuplike bases that hold water (Kindscher 1987). The flower heads are rich, golden yellow, 2.5 centimeters in diameter, and closely grouped at the tips of the stems (Hunter 1984). The small, tubular disk flowers are in the middle of the flower and is sterile and does not produce fruits (Ladd, 1995).
PORTION OF THE PLANT USED: Leaves and roots.
TRADITIONAL USES: Chippewa Native Americans used the simple or compound decoction of root for “stoppage of periods,” for back and chest pain and for lung hemorrhage. A poultice of moistened, dried root was applied to wounds to stop bleeding.
Iroquois used the decoction of roots as an emetic and as face wash for paralysis. Burned root soot was placed on child’s cheek to prevent them from seeing ghosts. Meskwaki used the root to “alleviate the vomiting of pregnancy.” Infusion of root taken by women to prevent premature birth. Root used to reduce profuse menstruation and as an anti-emetic during pregnancy.
Ojibwa infusion of root taken for lumbago and other rheumatic back pains, stomach trouble and hemorrhage.
Cup plant’s young leaves were cooked in the spring as a green (Kindscher 1987). It was also used as a chewing gum to help prevent vomiting (Runkel & Roosa 1989). The Winnebagos tribe believed that this species has supernatural powers. They would drink a concoction derived from the rhizome to purify them before going on a buffalo hunt. It is used in the treatment of liver and spleen disorders and has also been used to treat morning sickness (Moerman 1998).
POLLINATOR:Rosin Weed attracts a variety of pollinators but it is especially relished by some of our smaller solitary bees. The plant gets its common name from the sticky rosin it produces, which was used as a chewing gum by the Native Americans. Rosin weed is quick to mature once germinated, reaching flowering size surprisingly fast.
