The Green Witch

environment you knew yesterday or last month is no longer the environment that surrounds you

environment you knew yesterday or last month is no longer the environment that surrounds you:

Loving others is an example of honoring and respecting nature and all nature’s creatures:

The health of your immediate environment also affects the health of your own body, mind, and spirit.

Everything is magical, in the sense that it is wondrous and unique—every breath, every step, every stir of your soup.

Working with the earth means that to act against it would be counterproductive, and that includes acting against a member of the earth’s extended energy, such as other people, animals, plants, and so forth.

if you treat those around you with courtesy, they will extend the same to you. What you put out into the world returns to you, and that goes for thoughts, acts, and energy.

Lord and Lady,

Spirits of Nature,

Elements around me,

Bless me as I move through the world today.

May I bring joy and tranquility to every life I touch.

May my actions bring only harmony to the world.

May I heal pain and soothe anger,

May I create joy and balance as I walk my path.

Support me and guide me, spirits of Nature,

This day and all days ahead of me.

This I ask of you, as a green witch,

Lord and Lady,

Spirits of Nature,

Elements around me,

Bless me as I walk the path of the green witch.

May my every action be for the good of all,

For Humanity and Nature alike.

Bring me wisdom and peace,

Serenity and balance as I walk this path.

Grant me the confidence to do the work you require of me

And strength to bear the burdens life asks of me.

I swear to guard the Soul of Nature,

To work with Nature,

To honor Nature,

And all who compose nature’s multitude.

These things I promise, and this I ask of you,

On this day, in this place.

As a green witch, I so swear.
