Crossing The Hedge

A Guide to Liminal Witchcraft and Spirit Flight

Step beyond the edge of the ordinary world and into the living mysteries of hedge witchcraft.

For centuries, witches have spoken of crossing the veil, practicing spirit flight, and walking between the worlds to commune with the dead, the land spirits, and the unseen powers. Crossing the Hedge is a comprehensive guide to hedge witchcraft, liminal magick, and Otherworld journeying, offering the rituals, tools, and grounded practices you need to safely navigate the spirit realm.

Rooted in animism, folklore, and traditional witchcraft, this book reveals how hedge-crossing works—and how modern witches can practice it with depth, clarity, and spiritual protection.

Drawing on over forty years of personal practice, spirit work, plant knowledge, and dedicated study, S. L. Clement blends history, lived experience, and practical instruction into a guide suitable for both beginners and seasoned witches. Inside, you will learn:

• The foundations of spirit flight—what it is, how to cross the hedge, and how to journey safely
• Working with the Fetch, spirit allies, land spirits, ancestors, and the Mighty Dead
• Rituals and techniques for hedge-crossing, necromancy, trance, divination, and communication with spirits
• Recipes for traditional flying ointments and spirit-flight salves, crafted with intention, historical knowledge, and safety in mind
• Practical exercises to build trance skills, spirit sight, and Otherworld navigation
• Journal prompts to track your journeys, deepen your understanding, and strengthen discernment
• How to build a hedge-witch’s toolkit, including plant allies, liminal spaces, ritual tools, and sacred timing
• The Witch’s Year understood as a spiral of thresholds, rites of passage, and natural openings between worlds
• Essential skills for discernment, grounding, aftercare, and integrating Otherworld experiences

More than a collection of spells, Crossing the Hedge is a devotional and experiential path—one that teaches you to become a living threshold, rooted in the land while walking in partnership with spirits.

Whether you’re new to hedge witchcraft or seeking to deepen your practice of spirit flight, necromancy, plant magick, and liminal work, this book offers both inspiration and reliable guidance for crossing into the unseen.

The hedge awaits—and it has been waiting for you.
