Between the Horns

“Elwynn and I have had many conversations that began with a simple question or passing thought and somehow ended three hours later. Why? Because these conversations opened the door to an exchange of ideas, experiences, and discussions about our respective practices. More often than not, neither of us wanted those conversations to end. This book has much the same effect. Modern while still honoring its roots, intelligent yet accessible, every page is packed with insights, traditions, and stories that invite deeper reflection. Whether you’re just beginning your journey or have spent decades walking your path, this book deserves a place on your shelf. Just as I did, you’ll likely find yourself struggling to put it down once you’ve begun.”

“Elwynn writes as he is: down to earth and grounded, with a perfect blend of humility to keep the humanity in the conversation when talking about magic. He provides a book full of practical, approachable, and effective exercises to deepen one’s connection with their practice, with a comforting voice that gently guides through the foundations, skill building, and the more uncomfortable parts that we are all bound to meet at one point or another on this magical path. A perfect read for anyone beginning in folk magic and looking to build solid foundations for a personal practice.”
—Olivia Graves, The Witch of Wonderlust

“Elwynn writes with the steady hand of someone seasoned in the craft and with the generosity of someone who truly wants the work to be useful. What stands out in this book is not only the depth of knowledge, but the way it is shared: clearly, accessibly, and without performance or prescription. There is no elitism here. Elwynn does not place the craft on a pedestal beyond the reader’s reach. Instead, he offers practices that feel replicable, grounded, and alive, leaving space for each person to build their own relationship with the work. To me, this is what folk magic should be. Not guarded for the few, or dressed up to impress, but shared in a way that is practical, meaningful, and rooted in ordinary life. By the folk, for the folk.”
—Geo, That Glasgow Witch

“Green’s work in Between the Horns illustrates a deep, nuanced knowledge of the occult and traditional witchcraft. Written with wisdom, gravitas, and a critical eye, the knowledge contained in these pages will support both those new to the Path, and those who are well versed in the Craft. A must-have text for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of witchcraft and magic from a discerning, rooted lens.”
—Bunny Gourlay, The Aphrodisian Witch, headteacher and facilitator at BAD WITCH ACADEMY

“I have been waiting for this book to be written! I am a traditional and folkloric witch and Between the Horns by Elwynn Green speaks to my craft on a visceral level. The book creates a foundational network of setting up an understanding of the basics but then goes even further, delving in to more specifics of the compass, the tools, and how to organize your practice. The ‘Ingredients’ section wasn’t just a list of herbs, but expanded into tools, shapes, and concepts that don’t get the attention many of them deserve. Green did just that and more. The exercises following each lesson really help me grasp the material. I particularly loved the chapters ‘The Witches’ Devil’ and ‘Spirit Flight,’ as both are under-discussed topics in many modern books on witchcraft.”

“Between the Horns is an unapologetically honest and thought-provoking gateway into the world of British traditional witchcraft, written from the unique perspective of a hereditary practitioner. Elwynn Green’s teaching style is one of its kind—meticulous in its precision, relatable, caring, and fatherly, and yet ensuring that the student of the craft is not only well-equipped with solid theoretical foundations, but also with the proper tools of mindset, lore, and praxis necessary for immersion into witchcraft. An excellent, accessible, and authentic guide into the deep, liminal heart of the arte!”
—Joanna Tarnawska, author of Polish Folk Magic: Ancestral Lore & Traditions of the West Slavs
