Green Witch Glow-Up: How Witchcraft Has Improved My Life

This is a blog post on my Green Witchcraft Glow-Up: How Witchcraft Has Improved My Life! With herbal spells, plant witchcraft, and natural remedies I have improved my overall health and well-being exponentially, and today I will explain how I made it happen.

I was always going to be a green witch. I look back on my childhood and all I see is the magic of nature interwoven into everything I did.

I can remember singing to the flowers and being enamored with the lizards and snakes of the Mojave Desert where I grew up. I always had a healthy respect for Mother Earth and treated her with kindness.

As an adult, I slowly lost that magic and returned to it. I had a full-blown spiritual awakening in my thirties, also known as the dark night of the soul. This was the beginning of my journey into green witchcraft.

It was one of those things that was always there, ready to emerge. Since then, I’ve gone through many spiritual awakenings, many of them induced.

In 2020, I began my true green witch glow-up. For years, I had been practicing witchcraft, but I did a lot of dabbling and outside work. I was building the foundation of my practice.

For the past four years, I immersed myself in my practice, especially in the art of herbal craft. This is where I truly shine. I was called to the path of plant spirit witchcraft and I fully engaged in my botanical studies.

I have become an advanced-level green witch in a short amount of time! In a way, though, the foundation that I built took more than a decade of practice to get me where I am today. Plus, there is always more to learn and grow!

For the past four years, I’ve been going through a green witch glow-up! This is like a glow-up for green magic and plant witchery.

I’ve seen my life improve in so many magical ways! It is truly a miracle that I am in the place I am today and it never stops. It keeps growing, evolving, and adapting!

Witchcraft has changed my life. Part of coming to witchcraft was feeling like I had no control over my life and what happened to me. I remember feeling so bleak, low, and completely helpless.

The craft helped me take my power back. I am still a work in progress, but each day I feel like I am reclaiming my sovereignty. I have my practice to thank for that!

Green Witch Glow-Up: How Witchcraft Has Improved My Life

As a green nature witch, my life has improved exponentially! I have come into my own. For one thing, I know my true, authentic self in a way that I never was able to before.

For years, I kind of foundered with my identity. I didn’t know who I was or what I wanted. I didn’t have a true purpose or meaning in my life until I found witchcraft.

I know a lot of people in the witchcraft community don’t like labels and that’s perfectly fine if that works for them. But, for me, the green witch is a label that resonates and makes sense to me.

I went through some dark times in my life and it was spending time in the forest with the plants, trees, and nature spirits that brought me out of the darkness and into the light. It was in the darkness that I found my true self.

I also call myself a plant witch because my work with plant allies is so extensive. Potted plant spells, garden spells, and natural remedies all take a front seat in my knowledge base of green magic.

And, I am damned good at it. It’s always an amazing feeling to find something you are naturally attuned to. The more I learn about plant spirits, the more I want to learn!

For me, the labels are interchangeable with green witchcraft. I’ve found that it overlaps with hedge witchcraft, hearth witchcraft, and kitchen witchcraft! So, if you want to don a label, go for it. This is your practice and you dictate how it works.

Botanical Studies and Increased Intelligence + Memory Retention

Being a green witch has increased my intelligence. This was one of the big things that I noticed when I started developing my practice.

As a witch, I study all the time! I read books, I take notes, I keep a grimoire, and I am always finding new things to learn about the craft.

In addition to that, I’ve created spells to increase my intelligence and memory retention, usually using rosemary! I recommend this for anyone getting deeper into the craft.

Rosemary is an herb of time travel and memory retention. It can bring up nostalgia and increase memory in numerous ways! I’ve also found it to be a sweet, good-natured, and versatile herb that enjoys working with almost anybody.

Witchcraft has made me incredibly studious! I was always a lifelong learner and loved studying the things I was passionate about. It turns out, I am passionate about learning herbal witchcraft!

Not only that, but I am at a level now where I enjoy teaching others and sharing my wisdom and knowledge with them. Witchcraft is very personal to each person, but I am great at guiding people in the right direction.

As an earth witch, I always recommend developing a personal practice that is all your own! In the beginning, it’s normal to use other witch’s spells and ideas, but eventually, you’ll want to start crafting your own.

When you finally let go and start trusting yourself, your witchcraft practice will grow exponentially! I did this almost from the very start and I believe that is how I accelerated so quickly in my practice.

Increased Confidence and Faith in Magical Abilities

Another thing I’ve noticed is that I feel more confident now that I am a green witch! Not only do I feel confident in my magical abilities, but I feel confident in other areas of my life too.

There’s strength in being able to fully trust yourself! I have come to a place where I believe and trust in what I can do and this has bled into other parts of my life.

There are times when I can feel the miracle about to break through. By a miracle, I mean any kind of manifestation I have in the works.

I even know which kind will be coming through soon. Not because of a spell I previously did, but because of my faith. I can feel it at every level of my being.

To increase my confidence, I started doing things on my own! I would do herbal spells where I was so confident that I didn’t need to utter an incantation. I simply felt my green witch-style intentions and they would come true!

This is something I would encourage any green witch practitioner to do. Every time you do a spell or remedy, let go and trust yourself. Know that it has already come true and it undoubtedly will!

I believe having confidence is the key to any spell! Why? Because confidence is the trust and belief in yourself and your skills and abilities.

When you become the magician of your own life, you have all of the resources and tools at your fingertips! You become confident and self-assured in what you do, which improves your life greatly.

Increased Witchy Intuition + Intuitive Nudges

Part of trusting yourself is being able to follow your witchy intuition! This comes in handy when doing herbal spells and remedies. It’s also a great way to choose spell ingredients that go together magically.

As a plant-based witch, I follow my intuition wherever it goes! Sometimes it leads me to a new Greco-Roman deity and other times it makes me drive to the grocery store to buy a pack of stinging nettles tea.

I never know where it’s going to end up, but I fully trust in my intuition. The times that I haven’t trusted in the past, were the times when I ended up with egg on my face.

Recently, my intuition told me to start doing my yoga practice on my own, without the help of the yoga app I was using. I realized I was using it as a security blanket.

Once I fully let go, my self vinyasa flow yoga practice blossomed to life! I remembered all of the poses and began learning the other limbs in the 8-limbs of yoga. I even realized that I’m at a level where I can teach yoga now.

Being a witch means following your witchy intuition and intuitive nudges! There are times when I beat myself up trying to find a solution to a problem and when I finally allowed my intuition to take over, things became crystal clear.

When you get an intuitive nudge from within, follow it! Don’t doubt yourself and don’t second guess yourself. Follow it wherever it may go!

Glamour Magick and Physical Changes

It wouldn’t be a green witch glow-up if we didn’t talk about glamour magick and physical changes, would it? One of the things that has improved greatly is how I see myself and how others see me. This also plays into the role of confidence.

I used to have such a poor opinion of myself when I first came to witchcraft. I still struggle with it from time to time, as my body moves in cycles, but like the moon, I always know it is just a phase.

Practicing glamour magick has become one of my favorite practices in my craft! If you are playful and have fun with it, you can see the changes to your body, appearance, wardrobe, and accessories.

As an adult woman, I never knew my style until I was in my late thirties. Now that I am in my forties, I have developed a sense of style and branding that is all my own, and I have witchcraft to thank for that.

I have definitely had a glow-up and it moves in cycles! Right now, I am entering a new phase of it, as I have a whole new life than I did a year ago.

I have a long-term boyfriend who has opened me up to who I am, both good and bad! We are both on track with each other when it comes to health and fitness goals. We make a great team!

So, I went from singlehood to somebody in a serious relationship! This hasn’t changed my style, per se, but it has amplified it. About a year or so before we met, I had gone through a glow-up and developed my style.

This included everything from how I wore my hair, which hair accessories I used (I love and enchant bows!), and an accumulation of pretty dresses that made me feel good about myself. I also started collecting unique handbags and naming them!

I have a butterfly-shaped purse named Edelweiss and a pink house-shaped purse that I call Rose Cottage. With glamour magick, everything comes to life!

Even my makeup game and beauty routines have improved greatly! I have found that working with Goddess Aphrodite has improved how I see myself. It’s like I know myself better than I ever have before.

These days, I’m starting to get back into jewelry, which of course I enchant! I plan to have a complete wearable nature wardrobe with mushroom terrarium necklaces, wearable planters, and flower crowns.

Green Magic Equals a Happy Life

Practicing green witchcraft equals a happy life for me! It has taught me patience, kindness, and understanding. It has given me a wealth of information, not only about plant magic but about myself too.

To be honest, I can go on and on about this topic! I haven’t even touched on it all. But, alas, I must eat a plant-based lunch and thank the food (plants) and the gods for all they do.

I am the happiest I’ve ever been because of witchcraft. There’s something about it that keeps me calm and focused. Intuitively, I always know what I need to work on next.

I do shadow work regularly, which allows me to turn inward and reflect. Shadow work, which I tend to do during the baneful moon, helps me address the psychological problems I have and look at them from a new perspective.

This includes childhood wounds and traumas to ancestral healing from generational trauma. I work on things as they come up with the phases of the moon and the retrograde planets.

Green magic has opened my world up to new connections and fresh possibilities! My natural state is introverted and with the craft, my worldview has expanded. I’ve allowed more people to come into my life.

This is my green witch glow-up and it never stops! It keeps growing, transforming, and changing. Five years from now, I will emerge from another cocoon and become a different butterfly. Thanks for reading! xoxo
