Hedge Jumping: The Veil as a Hedge Witch
What is hedge jumping you ask? In the mystical tapestry of hedge witchcraft, hedge jumping is a skill that transcends the ordinary and ventures into the realms of the extraordinary. As a hedge witch, you tread the boundary between the mundane and the magical, with one foot firmly planted in each world. Let us explore the art of hedge jumping:

The Veil and the Hedge:
The hedge symbolizes the boundary—the liminal space—between our everyday reality and the hidden dimensions beyond. Hedge witches are often described as “walking the hedge,” “riding the hedge,” or even “flying the hedge.” These phrases capture their ability to move freely between realms.
Venturing Beyond:
Hedge jumping refers to intentionally crossing the veil that separates our world from the spirit otherworld. It’s a spiritual journey—an exploration of the collective unconscious, the astral plane, and the Otherworld.
The Thin Places:
In Gaelic, these thin places are called “caol ait.” They are the veils that are sheer, where the mundane and mystical intermingle. Hedge witches can walk freely into these thin places, where the veil is almost transparent.
Divination and Beyond:
Divination is a central aspect of hedge witchcraft. Seeing “beyond the veil” is essential. Hedge witches practice various forms of divination—such as scrying, tarot reading, or rune casting—to glimpse hidden truths.

Eclectic and Experimental:
Hedge witchcraft is eclectic. It draws from diverse traditions, cultures, and practices. Trial and error is key. If something works, a hedge witch embraces it; if not, it’s discarded. Practicality trumps rigid ritual.
The Multifaceted Hedge Witch:
Hedge witches wear many hats: psychic, medium, healer, counselor, herbalist, and shaman. They partner with the rhythm of nature and the space between life and death. Their magic is results-based.
Riding the Hedge:
Hedge riding involves conscious astral travel. The hedge witch journeys beyond the veil while maintaining a connection to the physical world. It’s a dance between realms, where intuition and practicality intertwine.

The Call of the Wild:
Hedge witches honor the wild, the untamed, and the mysterious. They listen to the rustling leaves, the whispers of the wind, and the secrets carried by animals.
The Veil as Teacher:
The veil teaches the hedge witch about impermanence, transition, and transformation. It reminds us that reality is multifaceted, layered, and ever-changing.
Embracing the Unknown:
To be a hedge jumper is to embrace uncertainty, to step into the misty unknown. It’s an invitation to explore, learn, and connect with the unseen. Learn to Cross the Veil and Fly.
So, dear seeker, if you feel the pull of the hedge, heed its call. Walk the boundary, ride the veil, and let your intuition guide you. For in those thin places, magic awaits—the magic of the hedge jumper.
