Synopsis
Here is a guide to the magical spirituality of the hedge witch, which describes a path that is profound and yet simple - uncluttered by complex ritual, a matter of the heart. The hedge witch is a solitary witch and natural mystic who practises wildwood mysticism, so called because it is the knowledge at the root of the tree of witchcraft. Explained in detail are the witch's prayers, spell-casting and communication with spirits and faeries, including those spirits travelling in the three realms of the magical otherworld. The values and ethics of this most ancient tradition may surprise and delight with their blend of common sense, compassion and wildness. (It is not a spiritual way for conformists!) This book opens the door to all those who feel they are natural witches but are, as yet, uninstructed. The Hedge Witch's Way is a guide for witches of either gender - potential wisewomen or wisemen - that presents the faerie-led practices of our ancestors, in a modern-day context.

Spirituality and spells
This is a perfect book for beginners like me. It teached me so much mixing spirituality and why things are as they do, and the spell 'bonus'. It has so many precious information! It is very well writen, easy to understand and, at the same time, reaches a deeper level than Scott. Buy it!

Simple to understand
This is well written and a great book to use. It explains the basics and can help to find the right path if you so wish. It is a good book to start with.

Prayers in the woods
I loved Rae Beth's Hedge Witch for it's simple, beautiful and compassionate take on Witchcraft. This book follows on perfectly. It focuses on prayers mainly, what some would call 'invocations'. She offers beautfully written prayers for allsorts of things such as health, dreams, understanding and goes into great step by step detail of how to write your own.

She discusses the spirituality of Witches, describing the World Tree and what each level means in our practice.

This is a book to draw out your individual way of Witchcraft, primarily a guidebook, but more a meditation on what lies beneath Nature. It's excellent and well worth buying.
