Walking the Hedge

Some Topics of study for a Hedgewitch

 

Yes, there are many listed here, and others could probably add more. Obviously, you could never study everything! Part of a Tradition like Hedgecraft is being able to choose what areas you wish to focus on. You are also not expected to become an expert at any thing, unless you choose to. Hedgewitches tend to be jacks of many trades, but master of none or few.

It is important to act with integrity and never misrepresent yourself as an expert when you are not. Be honest with yourself and others about your knowledge, experience and abilities.

Start with what interests, excites and calls to you. Remember that this is not a race.
