About The Green City Witch
A beautifully illustrated handbook for urban witches that combines green witchcraft with city life.
Rich with herbal and esoteric wisdom, this delightful and thoughtful guide provides an essential basis for magical practitioners living in cities to connect with nature, magic and community.
This book is for urbanites who want nature and magic in their lives. Written by an experienced herbalist, who eats street weeds, talks to crows, casts spells, and brews potions; this book shows how to walk a magical path while riding the waves of urban life.
Divided into three sections, The Green City Witch covers the lifestyle, knowledge, and techniques of real witches who love nature and city life. The lifestyle section covers how to work sustainably, grow roots in new towns, align with the seasons, and forage; all within city limits. The urban nature section contains an extensive directory that details how to engage with fascinating lifeforms that thrive in city buildings, streets, and parks. From spider plants to knotweed, and parakeets to earthworms, the plant, animal, and bug lore entries offer magical symbolism, folklore, foraging or care advice, and practical ways to weave them into daily life. The techniques section explains how to achieve magical goals with rituals, sigils, spells and charms, blood magic, shapeshifting, and divination, all with local, natural, sustainable materials.
The Green City Witch is an invaluable resource for beginners and experienced magical practitioners alike, who wish to embrace the endless magical potential and gifts of urban nature.

Amsterdam book illustrator, Hannah McDonald, who created the beautiful artwork for The Green City Witch, also plans to be there!

What is being said about The Green City Witch

'The Green City Witch' opens up the seemingly mundane urban environment to reveal the enchantment at its heart. This wealth of information on lore, ritual, spell work and even urban foraging, offers magical city dwellers a comprehensive guide with a host of ethical and sustainable suggestions that will enrich any magical practice.'
~ Philip Carr-Gomm, Druid Mysteries

'The Green City Witch' is packed full with useful magical practices, tips, rituals and ponderings that will give any would-be Urban Witch a great foundation on which to build their practice. The seasoned Witch will also find much to interest and inspire.
~ Eimear Burke, Chosen Chief of the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids

'The Green City Witch is a potent breath of green magic for the urban soul. It is a sacred guide for those who hear the whisper of the wild, even beneath the hum of traffic and neon lights. Within these pages lies the wisdom that magic is not bound to forests or faraway places — it thrives in alleyways, window boxes, rooftop gardens, and the cracks of city pavements...'
~ Barbara Meiklejohn-Free, The Highland Seer, High Priestess, best-selling and award-winning author of over 30 books, oracle decks, calendars, and diaries.

A lush, lyrical guide to weaving enchantment through concrete and steel, The Green City Witch is a love letter to the wild soul of the urban landscape. With wisdom rooted in lived practice and heartfelt observation, Lynn Shore invites us to find spirit in weeds between paving stones, magic in pigeon feathers, and kinship with mosses and street trees. Practical, poetic, and powerfully empowering, this is a book for witches who walk the city with bare feet on brick, who compost their spells, and who know the green breath of the Earth still pulses beneath every slab of asphalt...
~ Sian Sibley, Traditional Welsh witch, Leader of Dragon Oak Coven, author of Unveiling The Green, and, Black Paths and Green Cathedrals

'The Green City Witch by Lynn Shore emphasizes the sacredness of all things and gives simple and practical ideas of how to integrate this into everyday life in a city, The book includes a very helpful foraging calendar, spells, charms, magical operations and all the tools needed for successful green magic A lovely, evocative exploration of how to live in the city and still remain contact with nature and its rhythms. Recommended.'
~ Elisabeth Brooke, medical herbalist and author of A Woman’s Book of Herbs – A Witches’ Guide to Healing Body, Mind and Spirit and Women Healers Through History.
