Wild Witch Compendium

Wild Witch Compendium: A Guide to Australian Folk Magic and the Spirit of the Land

This is not just a brief guide of magical ingredients, it's a guide to living in right relationship with the land beneath your feet.

Please read before purchasing to avoid confusion.....

The Wild Witch Compendium is not a guide to First Nations culture. As a white Australian folk witch, I do not speak on Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander practices. This book does not include or interpret Indigenous ceremony or spirituality in any form. It is written to help other white settlers walk more respectfully on unceded land by making informed, decolonised, and sustainable choices in their folk magic. Where culturally sensitive items are mentioned, it is only to say: they are not ours to use. A portion of profits is donated to SEED, a First Nations led organisation fighting for climate justice.

Wild Witch Compendium is written for the witch who walks with awareness, who listens to the eucalyptus trees, honours the stories carried in stone, and knows that magic is more than just tools and spells. It's a living, grounded practice of respect, responsibility, and connection.

Inside you'll find a brief, alphabetised guide to Australian flora, fauna, waters, dirts, rocks, and other natural materials, all viewed through a folk magic lens. But this isn't an encyclopaedia and it's not packed with pretty pictures or illustrations. It's a practical guidebook, written and self-published by a working witch, focused on walking and working respectfully on Australian soil.

This book doesn't claim to be all-encompassing. It's grounded in lived experience and intended for those ready to build real relationships with the land. Those ready to do the work.

It invites you to:

• Connect with local plants, animals, and natural elements in a meaningful way

• Learn the spirit and story of place before taking from it, research things for yourself.

• Honour both blood ancestors and the ancestors of this land

• Practise folk witchcraft that is powerful, ethical, and rooted in care

Whether you're a seasoned practitioner or just beginning to shift your craft toward a more land-conscious path, Wild Witch Compendium offers a deeper way of working. One that weaves you back into the living web of the land itself.
