Plants of the Hedge

 

Intro­duc­tion

In Occvl­ta we under­stand witch­craft as a path that seeks to explore the lim­its of exis­tence and grant us access to the Oth­er­world. Its aim is to bring us togeth­er with Oth­er­ness by tran­scend­ing the self. In order to reach that state of Oth­er­ness, we feel it is nec­es­sary to inter­act with the Hedge, the bound­ary between Worlds, the bar­ri­er between the nat­ur­al and the super­nat­ur­al.
If we look at folk­lore and cus­tom­ary tra­di­tions, we will find that the Hedge is often rep­re­sent­ed by the area enclosed by a fence or a deep thick­et of thorny bush­es that pro­tects the domes­tic world from the out­side: a very pow­er­ful sym­bol that has been installed in our col­lec­tive uncon­scious up to this day. This con­cept will serve as a Leti­mo­tiv in this course to be able to cre­ate an indi­vid­ual prac­tice of Witch­craft, in which each attendee will cre­ate his/her own method of Hedgerid­ing with the help of the Land and Plant Allies of his/her choice.


With the help of occult herbal­ism we will dis­cov­er the Plants of the Hedge, those that facil­i­tate access­ing the Oth­er­world and to car­ry out oth­er prac­tices asso­ci­at­ed with witch­craft, and we will try to dis­cov­er their secrets and their role as allies in Spir­it Flight.


We will offer a his­tor­i­cal and folk­loric frame­work in which to place the indi­vid­ual expe­ri­ence, per­haps serv­ing as inspi­ra­tion and a start­ing point to inter­act with the Land and its hid­den aspects.
We believe that this course can help cre­ate a nexus between witch­craft and herbal­ism and the poi­son path, a prac­ti­cal start­ing point with a the­o­ret­i­cal base to inspire us to cre­ate our own practice.


Who is this course aimed at?
This course is aimed at those who wish to work on prim­i­tive witch­craft and sim­i­lar mys­teric paths with the aid of the Land and the plant king­dom, so it would be rec­om­mend­ed to herbal­ists, witch­craft prac­ti­tion­ers, and those who walk the path of poi­sons, what­ev­er lev­el they may have.
