Overview: The Many Veils of the Moon is a unique and personal collection of spells, rituals, and incantations that blends Traditional Witchcraft with the author’s original Twin Moons system.
Verdict: Inspired by a deeply personal journey into Green Witchcraft, this grimoire honors the light and shadow of the Full Moon and New Moon, offering a balanced approach to magic. Rooted in the legacy passed down from the author’s mother and the sacred cycles of nature, this work invites witches to deepen their connection to the natural world and walk the Green Path.
As noted, this grimoire is dedicated to the author’s mother, whose passionate character and profound love first opened his eyes to the magic in the word around him. She showed him the power in the moon’s cycles, the enchantment in the natural world, and the strength that can be found even in the midst of life’s greatest challenges. Even though her battle with cancer, she remained a beacon of light, guiding him with her love and magic.
Which perfectly outlines why the core of The Many Veils of the Moon: A Grimoire of Lunar Magic for the Green Witch is just so impassioned, dutifully crafted and effectively cohesive and thus is, and quite easily, an indispensable guide to connecting with the energy of the earth and the power of nature.
It is also dedicated to his grandmother, who passed away when his mother was just fifteen. He never knew her, but he has felt her presence in the stories his mother shared in the magic she left behind. Through them, he gathered the strands of magic they carried, weaving them into his practice.
As for the mainstay of this new prose, the Green Witch is a naturalist, an herbalist, a wise woman, and a healer. Not only does she embrace the power of nature, she also draws energy from the Earth and the Universe. Relying on natural objects like stones and gems to commune with the land she lives off, she uses these plants, flowers, oils, and herbs for healing.
Calling on nature for guidance whilst respecting every living being no matter how small, her guidance here through author Mitchell King clearly guides the reader how to use herbs, plants, and flowers to make potions and oils for everyday healing as well as how crystals, gems, stones, and even shows how twigs can help you find balance within.
In closing, and also coming complete with practical spells for protection, beauty, and nature’s enchantments, this The Many Veils of the Moon grimoire serves as a powerful tool for witches looking to explore both the light and dark aspects of magic in harmony with the moon.
