The hedge witch is a symbolic hedge rider, meaning they often crosses the "hedge" between this world & the spirit world.
How to Become a Hedge Witch:
1. Meditation:
- Meditation gives us the ability to turn off our busy minds & connect with the spiritual world.
- This is how we are able to receive messages from the gods & spirits, clear our chakras & travel to other realms on spiritual missions.
2. Dreamwork:
- Start by keeping a dream journal,
- When you wake up, write down what you remember from that night.
- After making a habit of this, your dream recall will become increasingly better!
3. Trance:
- The hedge witch will learn the ability to put on shamanic drumming & switch their mind into the trance-state.
- This is pretty much like entering the alpha state of mind using a mental trigger.
- Try different things – dancing, music..etc - See what puts you into that open mind!
4. Herbs:
- Hedge witches learn which herbs are made into teas before bed to induce dreaming.
- Herbal salves & oils can be made & used to anoint the witch's power points before meditation, shapeshifting, etc.
- Do your research thoroughly before taking herbs internally or applying topically.
5. Shapeshifting:
- Shapeshifting is a shamanic skill dating back thousands of years & performed for centuries.
- Shapeshifting is a way to journey into the other realms in disguise & be protected from other beings who could do you harm.
How to Start Shapeshifting:
- Shapeshifting occurs in dreams, astral projection, meditation & trance,
- Sometimes it'll happen naturally, while other times you will want to try it yourself.
-During meditation try holding a feather, bone, or some other animal item in your hand,
- Focus on the energy, the life & the soul of that particular animal.
- Getting into the mind and "body" of the being you want to shift into is just the beginning.
6. Divination:
- Divination can help when talking with the spirits of a place,
- A pendulum, tarot cards, or whatever form of divination you prefer are helpful.
- Be sure to cleanse before & after a session. And take notes!
7. Learn Your Local History & Landmarks:
- The land carries memories of the past,
- It remembers things like war, illness, life, death & tragedies of all kinds.
- Dig into the history of the land where you live,
- Use your divination skills to speak with the spirits.
8. Find Local Ley Lines:
- If we look at some of the world's ancient sites on a map, we can draw straight lines between one and another,
- These lines end up forming a grid-like pattern across the entire globe.
- Ley lines are energetic roadways across the globe that the ancients knew well.
- Look up a ley line map & see if you have a local ley line to visit.
- Take your pendulum or cards with you!
