Green witchcraft books are a type of literature that explore the practice of eco-friendly or nature-focused witchcraft. These books provide guidance, rituals, spells, and other resources for those interested in connecting with nature and incorporating its energy into their craft. One of the main principles of green witchcraft is the belief that everything in nature is interconnected and has its own unique energy. Green witches often focus on the cycles and changes of the natural world, such as the seasons, moon phases, and plant life. Green witchcraft books aim to teach readers how to work with these natural energies and harness them for their magical practices. They often include information on herbalism, crystal work, divination, and other forms of natural magic.
BABYLON MYSTERY RELIGION
These Sacraments, necessary to salvation began at birth with Infant Baptism , other sacraments throughout life, ending with a final anointing with oil at death to prepare one for the hereafter. 3 p2l,84 traces this pagan baptism back to the practice of commemorating Noah and his 3 sons deliverance through the waters of the flood, emerging from the ark and entering a New life.
They often include information on herbalism, crystal work, divination, and other forms of natural magic. These books may also provide guidance on how to create a sacred space, cultivate a garden, or develop a deeper connection with the earth.

The pagan cross and the pagan baptism ritual - Pagan Christian celebrations and rituals
“ But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ , by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.” Galatians 6:14
Paul brings in the cross worship in his writings.
The Cross was used by many ancient civilisations e.g. the Egyptians, the Chaldeans (the Babylonians), Greeks and Romans. It comes in many forms . The cross is a representation of the Sun gods (Tammuz, Mithra etc.)
Egyptologist Sir John G. Wilkinson states that the Egyptians “frequently had a small cross suspended to a necklace, or to the collar of their dress.” 143
Early Christian apologist (writer, defender) Minicius Felix stated : “Crosses, moreover, we Christians neither venerate nor wish for. You indeed who consecrate gods of wood venerate wooden crosses, perhaps as parts of your gods. For your very standards, as well as your banners, and flags of your camps, what are they but crosses gilded and adorned? Your victorious trophies not only imitate the appearance of a simple cross, but also that of a man affixed to it.” 144
Baptism was a pagan ritual performed by the above ancient civilisations. 145
The Church teaches that if someone is not baptised with water, they will not be able to enter heaven. 146 There is no mention of this in the bible.
During the ritual (of water being poured on head or full water immersion) a cross was marked on their foreheads. 147 The Christian ritual mimic a pagan ritual. 109
Early church writer Tertullian states in the early third century:
“The Devil, whose business it is to pervert the truth, mimics the exact circumstances of the Divine Sacraments in the Mysteries of Mithras. He himself baptizes some, that is to say, his believers and followers; he promises forgiveness of sins from the Sacred Fount and thereby initiates them into the religion of Mithras ; … he brings in the symbol of the Resurrection, and wins the crown with the sword.” 83
“ Some scholars have claimed the apostle Paul was essentially a devotee of Greek mystery religions , that we cannot understand the New Testament without understanding the language of the mystery religions. Hardly anyone would now agree.” from Article from “Worshipping like pagans?” www.Christianitytoday.com 83
Besides Mithraism, some sects of Buddhism have a baptism ritual.
Ernst De Bunsen states: “The Buddhists in Thibet have a water-baptism, Tuisol, preceded by confession of sins.” He then states “In a Chinese life of Buddha we read that, ' living at Vaisali, Buddha delivered the baptism which rescues from life and death, and confers salvation.'” 148
According to the Encyclopaedia of Hinduism, the water in the river ranges has the power to remove your sins. It is a custom for Hindus to flock to the river Ganges and pour some of the river water on themselves or fully immerse themselves in the river. 113
Scholar R. Robinson states that ancient Egyptian priests initiated candidates into the pagan religion of Isis by bathing candidates in water. 145

Reviews for "Witchcraft in the Wild: Green Practices for Wilderness Enthusiasts"
1. John - 1-star rating - I found the "Green Witchcraft" books to be nothing more than a collection of vague and pointless information. The author seems more interested in creating an aesthetic and attempting to be mysterious rather than providing any practical guidance or useful knowledge. It felt like a glorified Instagram influencer pretending to be a witch. I would not recommend these books to anyone serious about studying witchcraft.
2. Emily - 2-star rating - I was highly disappointed with the "Green Witchcraft" series. While I appreciate the focus on nature and the environment, the author's writing style was extremely disorganized and hard to follow. I struggled to find any coherent structure or meaningful content in these books. It felt like a mishmash of random facts and personal anecdotes that didn't contribute much to the overall understanding of witchcraft. I would suggest looking for other resources if you're looking for a comprehensive and well-written guide to green witchcraft.
3. Samantha - 2-star rating - As someone who has been practicing green witchcraft for several years, I was excited to dive into the "Green Witchcraft" books. However, I found the information provided to be overly simplistic and lacking in depth. It seemed like the author was more focused on romanticizing nature and presenting a watered-down version of witchcraft rather than delving into the complexities and intricacies of the craft. I would not recommend these books to experienced or serious practitioners.
