⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Ann Moura delivers a robust, educational manual that excels in structure, organizing Green Witchcraft into an accessible eight-class course. Her hereditary background lends authenticity to the practical advice on herbalism and divination. However, this book is not suitable for those seeking purely theoretical occult philosophy or those uninterested in hands-on, earth-based rituals. It may also disappoint readers looking for complex ceremonial magic rather than straightforward, nature-centric practices. While it serves as an excellent standalone resource for building a foundation, it lacks the esoteric depth required by advanced practitioners already versed in traditional Wiccan structures. It is best viewed as a practical guide for grounding one’s practice in the physical world.
