hedge witch
Solitary folk practitioner
A hedge witch is a solitary practitioner of folk magic, herbalism, and nature-based spirituality, working outside formal traditions or covens.
The hedge in the name evokes the boundary between the village and the wild—the cultivated and the untamed—suggesting someone who operates at the margins, bridging ordinary life and the spirit world.
Hedge witches typically focus on practical, domestic magic: healing, protection, divination, and working with plants and local spirits.
