simple as possible, precisely what you want. Say the same exact statement three times, slowly and with meaning.
    6.Say: “It always works! Always a blessing!” This means that you believe, consciously and subconsciously, that you will receive what you desire.
    7.In your mind, see yourself having what you want, and smile.
    8.Say thank you, and smile again.
    This simple format can be used within a longer ritual or alone for spellworking or as a simple rite, meditation, or prayer format. It works both for group and solitary use.
    Personal Cleansing
    Before any rite or ritual of dedication or initiation, the seeker is normally required to undergo a body cleansing—a bath or shower to remove all negativity, both physical and spiritual. It is suggested that before you undertake each phase of this dedication, you practice the time-honored tradition of cleansing to reap the most benefits on your spiritual journey. Sections 4 and 5 of this book contain several formulas for soaps, cleansers, salts, etc., that can be used in your personal and environmental cleansing activities.
    Remember, you can choose to work through the HedgeWitchery guide in fourteen days or take your time and elongate the process to fourteen weeks—it’s your decision.
    Are you ready?
    Then let’s go!

The HedgeWitch Guide
to Personal Empowerment
    The HedgeWitch guide is separated into fourteen segments, each segment entitled a “night” because that is the time normally scheduled for the rite. Begin in the morning by reading the affirmation and the focus for the day. For example, the first night segment concentrates on wind, associating this energy with that of Spirit. Close your eyes, quiet your mind, smile, and allow Spirit to fully enter your body. Then repeat the word wind softly, conjuring your vision of wind in your mind. Open your eyes, and repeat the affirmation at least three times. Remember to smile as you finish! Throughout the day, repeat the affirmation as many times as you like. Begin and end with a smile. Write down in a small notebook anything unusual about this day and events, people, or places that carry a strong wind association for you.
In this way, you will be prepared to perform the first night ritual. Continue this process for the remaining segments.
    Each segment also contains a “to do today” requirement. For example, the first night segment suggests that you choose a signature plant that you will continue to work with for the entire HedgeWitch experience. You will need to have a physical representation of this plant for the fourteenth segment (the dedication ceremony).
    Each day requires that you release something negative, old, or worn from your life to make room for positive growth. You can’t keep filling your life with new things without learning closure and releasing things that are no longer serviceable to you. For example, on the first day you will air out your house. Of course, what you get rid of is entirely up to you—what I have written is merely a suggestion. I realize that you are very busy, so if you miss a suggestion to release on a particular day or evening, try your best to fulfill this release sometime during the successive days (and definitely before the final ceremony).
    Each “night” focuses on a set of herbs that, through correspondence, match the rite’s energy intent. If you cannot find these herbs, substitutions are recommended. To find these substitutions, surf the Net (there is a compendium of information there on magickal herbal correspondences) or use Cunningham’s Encyclopedia of
