HedgeWytchery
Welcome to the Cottage of the HedgeWytch
The Cottage of the HedgeWytch, a rich compendium of information on hedge witchcraft, was originally founded by the late Dawn R. Jackson in 2002. When the Cottage disappeared into the aether, it was hard for some to accept. Fortunately, an arteful witch was kind enough to rework the site for the modern web, preserving its original old-style charm.
Here you can find the HedgeWytch method of cartomancy in its entirety, along with Dawn's articles on witchcraft and folklore. We also post regular updates in the Traditional Witchcraft newsletter, where we answer your questions on Traditional Craft, reading playing cards with the HedgeWytch method, and more.
You are invited to explore the Cottage at your convenience. If you are a practitioner on the Traditional Path of the Craft as I am, please explore what is offered herein at your leisure.
