Hole in the Hedge

Recently I had my understanding of what a Hedge Witch is expanded. It made much more sense when I heard the name "hedge rider" for the first time.  I also looked at it in its historical context.  Back to the time in Europe when society was more agrarian, a hedge separated the human world (house, home, yard) from the wild world (forest, wood, plain).  this made much more sense to me.


Now I have become a bit fascinated by the hole in the hedge, the space through which the occult enters the mundane world and vice versa.  The Hedgewitch becomes a bit of a psychopomp (in the Jungian sense) for information from the beyond.  The Hedge Witch is capable of contacting and passing to the 'other side' and also capable of existing here in the material realm.  I suppose in the end, the Hedgewitch becomes the hole in the hedge, or at least it's arbiter to the mundane world.
