“In Mandy Mitchell’s Hedgewitch Book of Days the author brings the old Hedgewitch right up to date. Emphasis is on food but also touches on magic—rituals and spells. All is delivered in a pleasant easy-going style that makes the book easy to read and tempting to just dip into on occasion. In many ways the Hedgewitch was the ‘true’ witch, in my opinion. It's about time we had a good book that focused on that wise one.” —Raymond Buckland, author of Buckland’s Book of Gypsy Magic

“Mandy Mitchell's The Hedgewitch Book of Days is the book I wish I'd had when I was a witchy new mom. Laid out month-by-month, it's simple to pick up and check the lists of magical correspondences when you're in a hurry, but it's also the book you'll want to peruse when you have a bit more time. Definitely two (busy) thumbs up!” —Kris Bradley, author of Mrs. B’s Guide to Household Witchery

“Hedgewitch Book of Days is a fantastic find! Perfect for the beginner and a fun, worthwhile read for the experienced, this book explains why we Pagans do what we do along with great ideas of ways to do it. The author's writing style is practical, down-to-earth. I recommend this book highly!” —Karen Harrison, author of The Everyday Psychic

Recipes, Spells, and Wisdom from the Hedgerow

Once upon a time the witch held a place of esteem in the village; her knowledge of local plants and wayside herbs were used to heal; her wisdom and empathy made her the village matchmaker and marriage counselor; and her ability to commune with nature and animals gave her a place of revelry and wisdom. She was the Hedgewitch.

Aimed at the busy witch, who is both breadmaker and breadwinner, this book revives the spirit of the Hedgewitch and teaches you how to make every day one full of wisdom, healing, and magic. For the practicing or would-be witch whose life is more jeans, chaos, and the never-ending question of what’s for dinner than it is black robes, cauldrons, and incantations, Mandy Mitchell has a recipe for you!

“I want to demonstrate how daily chores can become magical rituals with the potential to enrich and transform your life—everything from the way we form relationships with our families and friends to cooking, cleaning, and healing.” —from the introduction

Journey through the wheel of the year with one eye on the kettle and the other on the magical!
