The Witch at the Forest's Edge

A thoughtful examination of witchcraft, The Witch at the Forest's Edge by Christine Grace explores a wide range of topics ranging from sourcing our tools ethically to examining the origins of what we think we know to Spirits of Place. Grace's gentle voice evokes a texture of dappled shade, as though these truths were shared on the border between this world and the next. The Witch at the Forest's Edge restores the animalia missing from pop culture witchcraft, linking nature's richness with modern understandings of community, respect for culture, and stewardship. --Amy Blackthorn, author of Blackthorn's Botanical Magic The Witch at the Forest's Edge is accessible but deep work, and Christine Grace does not shy away from encouraging us to be open to more demanding practices and fields of study. An excellent book for seasoned witches, alongside those just starting down the path. --Jen Rue Holmes, of Rue and Hyssop To work as a witch means to embrace liminality, always moving between various states and layers of reality. Touching on thirteen different areas of a witch's practice, Christine Grace's exploration of what it means to occupy a place in the natural world challenges readers to think about specific aspects of their practice in a focused way. The Witch at the Forest's Edge is a welcome and thought-provoking addition to a modern library, enabling a practitioner to re-examine their spiritual connection to the natural world at any point in their journey. --Arin Murphy-Hiscock, author of The Green Witch The Witch at the Forest's Edge by Christine Grace presents a thorough one-on-one introduction to the Forest's Edge Tradition's approach to modern witchcraft, while wonderfully adding to the conversation surrounding the execution and usefulness of a regional, animist-based practice. --Christopher Orapello, co-author of Besom, Stang, and Sword and co-host of the Down at the Crossroads podcast One of my many hats is as a forest farmer, so The Witch at the Forest's Edge by Christine Grace has a special meaning for me. I grew up as a forest dweller and live now with the woods at my back porch. This powerful and intensely liminal place holds the keys to a deepening of our spirituality, as well as a broadening of it. This book will be read, marked, pondered upon, and read again. --H. Byron Ballard, author of Seasons of a Magical Life
