attuned to the cycles of nature and the universal powers. Find out for
yourself what this organic approach to Witchcraft is all about.
Ann Moura (Aoumiel) has been a solitary practitioner of Green
Witchcraft for over thirty years. She derived her Craft name, Aoumiel, to
reflect her personal view of the balance of the male and female aspects of
the Divine. Her mother and grandmother were Craftwise Brazilians of Celtic-
Iberian descent who, while operating within a general framework of Catholicism,
passed along a heritage of folk magic and Craft concepts that involved spiritism,
ancient Celtic deities, herbal spells, Green magic, reincarnation belief,
and rules for using "the power."
In her practice of the Craft today, Aoumiel has moved away from the
Christianized associations used by her mother and grandmother. She is focused
on the basic Green level of Witchcraft and is teaching the next generation in
her family. She took both her Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts degrees in
history. She is married, has a daughter and a son, and is a certified history
teacher at the high school level.*
