I need some help with discernment of information and advice about green witchcraft and eclectic witchcraft as a new broom. Can anyone help me with these two paths i walk that are very much a part of my craft?
You may have to elaborate on that part more, what exactly are components of that part of path.
For example, I combine Shamanism (Hedge Witch) with Kabbalah with Jungian Shadow-work
with Canaanite/Levant Traditions (proto-Judasim). It’s quite Eclectic!
Terrific Tuesday Greenwitch,
Eclectic is just a little bit of this and/or that of many different disciplines. Most witches are combinations of different things and are therefore eclectic. Green witchcraft is akin to Kitchen witchcraft, herbs, plants, teas and such, therefore leads into holistic health, if that is your goal.
I see that Sedim offered what he does and how he combines his areas of focus.
I am very eclectic in that I use deities unlike most practitioners and they are from a range of pantheons, of which I choose to use as old and native as possible. Therefore I use Mesopotamian, Native Indian, some Greek, Celtic…all different.
It sounds like you are already leaning to eclectic by intimating that you have 2 interests. And that is just GREAT!!! In the Craft, there is NO wrong way or answer for anything.!!!
Have a great time looking around and continue to ask all the questions you need to.![]()

Eclectic is about as open-ended as you want! Like Sedim and Lady Gene have illustrated, you can choose from pretty much any school, any pantheon, any religion, culture etc. as you want if you want to be eclectic! You could say I am also eclectic, but I have a mostly Eastern practice.
And Green Craft pretty much is what it sounds like - you’re focusing on working with herbs, plant magick, earth elementals, herbalism, healing, etc. Both are good practices and there’s really not a way to go wrong with those choices.
Let us know if you need any more help. ![]()
