Working with the emotional, intuitive, and spiritual Pisces Harvest Full Moon

We are entering a new lunar phase this week; the full moon on September 17th. As the Moon changes signs approximately every 2-3 days, we feel her influence over our moods and intuition shift. This full moon we will find ourselves in the; creative, spiritual, compassionate, empathetic, and dreamy sign of Pisces. Pisces is the clairvoyant of the zodiac. It is a sign with a deep sensitivity to those around them and heightened sense of intuition. This full moon in the water sign Pisces, is special as it will be accompanied by a lunar eclipse as well. Plus this is the start of a whole new eclipse set. Which means we have some very potent and powerful energy, pushing us into a new phase of our lives unfolding in front of us during this creative pisces full moon.


The Full Moon in Pisces is a period that stirs the waters of your innermost psyche, often bringing with it a tide of deep emotions and heightened intuition. It’s a time when we will place greater focus on our spirituality, our intuition, our subconscious, what’s hidden, and the past. We will be pulled to strengthen ourselves internally, quietly, and on our own. Pisces is the last sign of the Zodiac, and Lunar Eclipses tie to endings, so this can be a big eclipse for finishing something. To finish something that is meant to truly allow us to move and heal in our lives and evolve. This full moon and lunar eclipse can also be huge for releasing baggage, whether it’s spiritual, subconscious, or karmic. We will likely being faced with something from the past or within ourselves that is difficult, but we have to come to terms with it and try to be more understanding, introspective, and ultimately let it go so it’s not weighing us down anymore.

First, What is the Full Moon

Over the centuries, the Moon has played a significant role in different cultures and traditions. The full moon simply put is when the moon is completely illuminated in the sky and it has reached it’s peak in this lunar cycle in the sky. When the moon is completely illuminated it’s time for all to reach full expression. The full moon is the most powerful and potent time of the entire lunar cycle.

A full moon occurs when the transit (moving) Sun and Moon are in the exact opposite positions in the Zodiac (called an opposition). The full moon greatly affects humans and it’s no wonder it does because, there’s a scientific reason for this – we are made up of 60% or more of water. Full Moons are the peak point of the lunar cycle: at this time of the month, the light of the Sun is fully illuminating the Moon, and the luminaries are exactly opposing one another from our perspective on Earth. This potent alignment offers us opportunities to gain more awareness about what is moving in our inner and emotional world, and information previously uncertain or hidden could be revealed at this time.

With the moon being fully illuminated it creates this portal to some of the most potent energy to connect to for us to manifest our desires and dream life. This portal creates a connection to our peak creative energy and the deep seated creative passions we all have within us. This creative energy and power is the energy we need to actually do and create the things and lifestyle we need to manifest what we desire. With the new moon phase being about planting the seeds of what you want to manifest, the full moon is about actually doing the work and moving the energy to make your manifesting happen. The full moon allows you to bridge the connection between these energies and themes and bring them into your life while reminding you how important it is to have them in your life not only when the moon is illuminated in the sky for you to see.

There are so many ways to work with the full moon, to learn more about the basics of working with the full moon energy check out my blog post here and you can watch my class all about lunar magic. But, remember each full moon will be slightly different and have different practices to add and different ways to do it based on which zodiac sign the full moon is currently in at the time.

The Energy of a lunar eclipse

So, what about the lunar eclipse energy happening right now? if you go online especially on social media you will see countless warnings telling you not do any workings during a lunar eclipse including making moon water. They say its a time of bad omens, and a time that is too chaotic to harness and work with. I simply don’t agree with this. This may be because I am a grey witch. I just don’t see why we can’t work with a moon phase that is chaotic. The universe and all that exists within it sprouted from chaos or nothingness. This is common theme in belief systems, cultures, and stories across the Earth and time like in Mesopotamia with the goddess Tiamat. So, wouldn’t working with chaos like the lunar eclipse be a very primal and potent things for us humans to do? I think so. But, it will be up to you and what you decide for your own practices and beliefs.

This eclipse is also a time to close a karmic chapter and cycle in our lives and begin writing the next new chapter. Eclipses tie to endings, so this can be a big eclipse for finishing something. To finish something that is meant to truly allow us to move and heal in our lives and evolve. This full moon and lunar eclipse energy combined together can also be huge for releasing baggage, whether it’s spiritual, emotional, subconscious, or karmic.

The harvest moon

This full moon is also known as the harvest moon. The harvest moon is a full moon that occurs closest to the autumnal equinox, which is usually around September 22 or 23 in the Northern Hemisphere. It’s named for its role in helping farmers harvest crops by providing bright moonlight after sunset for several nights in a row, which is when they could gather the most crops. The Harvest Moon’s glow is often seen as a reminder of the abundance provided by the Earth’s cycles. It serves as a visual representation of the fruits of one’s labor and a time to express gratitude for the bounties received. It symbolizes the continuous cycle of growth, harvest, and renewal. Just as farmers gather crops during the harvest, September’s Full Moon invites introspection and the “harvesting” of inner wisdom and insights. It’s a time for self-reflection, meditation, and inner exploration.

The history of the this moon also intertwines with cultural practices and folklore. In China, the Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival, is celebrated during this Moon. Families come together to give thanks for the harvest, share mooncakes, and admire the moon’s beauty. Similarly, Native American tribes have their own traditions associated with the Harvest Moon. The Ojibwe people call it “Manoominike-Giizis,” the Rice-making Moon, as it signals the time to harvest wild rice.

As with most pagan names there will be different ones for each culture so below I listed any of the other names for the harvest moon I could find across the Earth. The common theme among them is focusing on gratitude and the bounty that has been grown from earth this year.

  • Barley Moon (Old English) (source: Time and Date)
  • Fall Moon (Ukiuqsraq) Inupiat Language, Alaska
  • Tvímánuður (Norse) means harvest month (source: Nordic Culture – Skjalden)
  • Leaves Turning Moon (Waatebagaa-giizis) (Ojibwe) (source: Ojibwe.net)
  • Nut Month (dulisdi) Cherokee, Carolinas
  • Singing Moon (sometimes called Song Moon) Celtic
  • Corn is Harvested (li’dekwakkwya ts’ana) Zuni Native American Origins
  • Spring Moon (South African origins) (source: Centre for Astronomical Heritage)

Who is Pisces?

Pisces is a water sign, ruled by the planet Neptune, and is the 12th and final sign of the zodiac. People born between February 19 and March 20 are Pisces. It’s symbolized by two fish swimming in opposite directions, representing the constant division of Pisces’ attention between fantasy and reality. As the final sign, Pisces has absorbed every lesson—the joys and the pains, the hopes and the fears—learned by all of the other signs. This makes these fish the most psychic, empathetic, and compassionate creatures of the astrological wheel.

Since, Pisces is ruled by Neptune, the planet that governs creativity and dreams; these ethereal fish adore exploring their boundless imaginations. But, Neptune also oversees illusion and escapism. Neptune’s energy is like the energy of the ocean: magical, mysterious, and often scary. When the fog is thick on the water, the horizon is obstructed and there is no differentiation between the sea and the sky.

Pisces the Constellation

The Pisces constellation is one of the largest northern sky constellations. Pisces lies between Aries constellation to the east and Aquarius to the west. . According to legend the constellation is composed of two fish who are connected together by a ribbon. The fish are the goddess Aphrodite and her son Eros (Roman: Venus and Cupid). They turned themselves into fish in order to escape from the monster Typhon. They then connected themselves together with a ribbon in order not to be separated. There is also a different origin tale that Hyginus preserved in another work. According to this, an egg rolled into the Euphrates, and some fishes nudged this to the shore, after which the doves sat on the egg until Aphrodite (thereafter called the Syrian Goddess) hatched out of it. The fishes were then rewarded by being placed in the skies as a constellation.

Pisces The Most Potent Time To Manifest

Pisces is the last Zodiac sign, so we may also take some time to clear things out and make room for anything new to come. We can reflect more on the past, but in a less emotional way, and get more understanding. This full Moon activates a deep desire to go within the ocean of soul and face the things truly holding us back, to make our wildest dreams a reality. There is a sense of things finally beginning to move forward after a prolonged period of stagnation with an intense power push for change.

The full Moon in Pisces is a time of healing, a time of magic, and most importantly, one of the most potent times to practice manifestation work. That’s because Pisces is ruled by Neptune, the planet of imagination and mysticism, which means you’ll not only be more connected to your creativity but also your spiritual center. You have the opportunity to slip into the flow and waters of life now. When that happens, you want what is happening and what is happening is what you want. Your manifesting is working perfectly

Pisces The Sign of Creativity

The Pisces full Moon can be a great time for creativity since Pisces rules imagination and fantasy, and we can get lost in daydreams. This can be channeled into creative projects and ventures, and we can get inspired more easily. The energy of Pisces guides us to go with the flow, to be less concerned with planning and plotting, and instead, to bring ourselves into the present moment. Which may feel really nice after coming off the meticulous, busy, always planning, Virgo new moon we just experienced. While we may not have all the answers and be in a state of unknowing, this full Moon reminds us that this is where our true creative powers lie.

Pisces The Sign of Compassion and Empathy

Pisces is a compassionate sign, so empathy and understanding can also be strong with this full Moon. We may want to be of help in new ways, and focus on trying to help those who can’t help themselves. At the center of the Pisces full Moon lie themes of healing, kindness, and sensitivity. This lunar phase invites us to nurture our emotional well-being, cultivate compassion for ourselves and others, and embrace the healing power of love and forgiveness. You can utilize the energy of this full moon to heal relationships by releasing toxic ones that no longer serve us and truly cutting those chords. You can look into the depths of your soul to face past hurts in a relationship and heal deep wounds that may still be lingering causing resentment and friction.

Pisces The Sign of Spirituality

Pisces is the sign of spirituality, so this can be a time to start new spiritual ventures. We can make more time to connect with our intuition and subconscious mind, and we can feel more in tune with the subtle energies all around us. It is an energetic frequency that dissolves boundaries, allowing us to tap into the collective consciousness and access deeper layers of intuition. This full moon ask you to dive deep into your unconsciousness and bring up the surface the feelings you have held about yourself that are holding you back. From your connection to the divine, magic, and your power. Once you have brought them to the surface you will have the ability to finally release them and move forward onto the next chapter unfolding now in front of you.

Pisces The Ruler of What’s Hidden

Pisces rules what’s hidden, so we may become aware of something that has been hidden, some sort of secret, whether its being kept from us by others or ourselves. We can also find we do our best on our own, in the background, and behind the scenes. It reminds us that while being authentic and open with others is great to do, we don’t always need to tell everyone our WHOLE truth. It encourages us to tap into the realm of dreams and imagination, including things we never think we could see. To envision a future aligned with our soul’s purpose and our wildest dreams. Pisces inspires us to imagine things we have yet to even know our soul has dreamed.

Themes Of The Pisces Full Moon

Every full Moon contains its own themes, which are related to the sign that it falls under. This time, we experience the full Moon in the dreamy, creative, and spiritual Water sign Pisces. Pisces is also a Mutable sign, the most adaptable and flexible of the signs. That means that you’ll be better equipped to handle any of the emotional sensitivity or mood swings that typically accompany a full Moon with all the release work and letting go. You’ll also be better prepared to find creative solutions to any challenges or issues you’ve been facing because you’ll feel both more creative and better able to go with the flow. If the Pisces fish can teach us anything, it’s that there are no wrong paths. The two fish of Pisces swim in opposite directions, and yet, their journey is a circle meaning they will eventually both land in the same place.

Keep in mind that the full Moon relates to the continuation of your journey to manifest your desires and dreams.And this is especially strong this full moon being in the sign that rules our dreamscapes, Pisces. So, try and have any of your workings based on these topics be grounded in those seeds of intention you had planted on the new moon. Don’t forget this full moon is layered with many energies for you to connect to as well like the gratitude of September and the intense rebirth of the lunar eclipse.

Things to look out for with Pisces

Amidst the beauty of this lunar energy, there may also be feelings of emotional overwhelm. Pisces energy can easily blur the boundaries between fantasy and reality, leading to confusion and escapism, including a lot getting lost in daydreaming. It is essential during this time to stay grounded, to honor our emotions without becoming overwhelmed by them, and to cultivate practices that promote inner peace and clarity.

Pisces and duality

Since, I am a grey witch every single energy I work with I look for the duality in that energy and how I can connect to it. This includes the full moon and the energy of the zodiac sign it currently is in. First, the full moon itself is all about duality as it is another time of transformation, transition, and rebirth. During this time we are pushed into a liminal space that forces us to look at the things, people, and places that have been obstacles or holding us back. This can be a thing of beauty and hope as well as a thing of pain and darkness which forces us into duality. Next, let’s look at the duality of Pisces itself. First, we see it in the representation of the two fishes in it’s symbol. It shows us that the two fish even though they may be swimming different directions. They will always eventually meet with each other at the same spot to complete their cosmic circle. We also see the essence of duality in the way Pisces calls us into the deep to look at our deepest emotions, and wounds guiding us to release them. This is a needed thing for healing and change but, the depths of the emotions can also feel like they are drowning us amongst their rough waves.

Correspondences for the Pisces

First, what is a correspondence? ,A correspondence is an item or symbol that is meant to connect you to a specific energy thru it’s representation. It is seen also as an item to respect, honor, and venerate that energy as well whether it be a deity, an archetype energy , or the zodiac energy the moon is currently in like I will list below for you to use. Remember to follow your intuition with the correspondences you choose to work with and that you can always use any that correspond to the moon itself as well.

  • Modality- mutable

Release Your Emotions With Worry Water

The ritual I am bringing to you for this emotional, expressive, and intuitive full moon in watery Pisces is a simple one it may seem, but it is a favorite of mine to do whenever we are in a water sign. Water signs open up such a deep, potent portal to our emotions in the most intuitive and compassionate way. This portal allows us to view some emotions we may not have been able to see in the depths before Pisces floats them up to the surface for us to see. This ritual even has more power behind it with Pisces being the sign of hidden things in the depths of our subconscious.

So, let’s learn how to release our emotions by making worry water. All you will need for this is a bowl of water its best if it is in a clear bowl and bonus energy if it is moon water. And then a quiet space you can be alone and uninterrupted for a little while. If you like to have candles, crystals, incense, or tools when you enter your sacred container those are optional for you to use here as well.

How to perform this ritual and make worry water

  • Go to the spot you can get enter your sacred container. Get into a comfortable position with your bowl of water in front of you.
  • If you are using extra tools like candles you set up your tools now and light candles or incense if need to.
  • Take some deep breaths in and out as you began to visualize protective, compassionate, expressive, energy entering your container and enveloping you.
  • As you feel that energy around you look into the bowl, you can even touch the water or pick the bowl up if you feel the desire to, than speak, whisper, or even yell all of your stresses, worries, fears, secrets, hidden emotions and hardships into your bowl of water.
  • Allow the element of water to absorb all those feelings, those unwanted energies and things, and hidden emotions you may have rushing thru yo. Allow it to transmute those emotions into healing, growth, and awareness.
  • Once you feel you have released all the emotions you need to into your bowl of water you can thank it for being a place to absorb and transmute all of this for you, than take your bowl of water and either dump it down the drain, flush it down the toilet or pour it out to the earth if you can.

Full Moon Ritual Bath Purification Prayer

This bath will cleanse the body, mind, emotions, of anything unwanted and blocking your intentions, success, and desires. It will also remove stagnant energy and/or energy that is not yours, that may be causing you difficulties on a physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual level. For three consecutive nights (the day before, the day of, and the day after the full moon) create this bath to wash, cleanse and purify your body in.

While you are drawing your bath, and after you have created your sacred container by adding candles (preferably white) music or anything else you would like to add, bring this herbal mixture to a boil on the stovetop. Rue (or rosemary), white sage, Lavender, rose buds, pink salt, and basil. Once your mixture has turned into a tea on the stove top take it and head to your tub. As you pour the mixture in recite this purification prayer below.

“I release the unforgivable, and all the things that cause me deep seeded fear and hold me back. The things that hold me back from being my true self, accomplishing my goals, and having endless success. I release the emotional pain that I carry with me each and every day. Affecting my heart, my actions, and my reactions. I release and heal the wounds that prevent me from feeling love, worth, and anything but trauma and the sting of karma. I release these things not only from this life but all past lives, and dimensions. I release all blocks keeping me tied to karma and trauma. I release all resentments, and unwanted thoughts I keep on a loop in my mind towards myself and others. I release all beliefs sabotaging myself and not allowing me to connect authentically to my higher self. With the passing of this powerful, fertile, and grounded full moon my life is renewed. I am purified, cleansed, and whole. I am free from stagnation and pain. I am able love purely and unconditionally on this eve I am I am renewed.”

Get into your tub; cleanse and wash your body from head to toe as you visualize that cleansing energy go over every inch of your body. Soak in the tub for at least 15 minutes. If you do not have a tub: Pour the herbal water over your head and body in the shower and do your best to ensure that the water touches all parts of your body, including private parts. Do not rinse. It is best not to towel dry and instead let the body air dry as much as possible.

Emotional Healing Spell

Use this emotional healing spell tonight to allow you to heal and release a wound from the past that has been showing up lately and causing some unwanted effects on your life. This spell will be incredibly potent during this Pisces full moon as you will have the two fishes with you to dive deep and release what truly needs to be released.


How to perform:
1.Get yourself into sacred container by calling pink healing energy to you and into your sacred container
2. Grab your herbs and grind them together into a powder
3. Take your pink candle and anoint it with your oil
4. Take your candle and roll it in the herbal mixture towards you while envisioning yourself healing from the emotional wounds that are affecting you right now
5.Next, hold your piece of rhodochrosite in your hand as you light your candle
6. Once it is lit focus on the pink energy again and recite the following spell
“Emotional healing to me please send. Soothe my heart and help me mend. Heal my heart, release the past allow my inner scars to close up fast.”

The magic of working with Apples

The air is getting a little crisper, and chillier as it blows through the trees around us. The leaves are following the cycle of the season as they change into their vibrant fall colors. We feel the pull to get outside in nature and soak up this changing season and the beauty fall has to bring us. One popular fall activity does just that as we find ourselves walking through an apple orchard and feel the living, moving, earth-shattering energy that swirls invisibly around us. Wrapped up in each juicy, ripe, colorful apple waiting for us to pick from the branches they weigh down. As we walk among the rows of the orchard, growing the food even cherished by the gods, we feel the magic of Autumn itself. As the veil thins during this season, we become more attuned to the other world, and the thinning of the veil. It’s a time when we can cast some potent spells and rituals connected to transition, gratitude, abundance, duality, protection, and accessing our ancestors. Let me show you in this blogpost how that basket of apples you just picked in the orchard can be a magical tool in all of these different kinds of spells and rituals!

Apples what are they?

Apples (Malus domestica) are among the most common fruits eaten in the US and Europe. This is because they grow just about anywhere! Apple trees have been cultivated for over 4,000 years, with origins in Central Asia. Although we do also know they’ve been grown in Europe for thousands of years and were brought to North America with European immigrants over the past few centuries. The apple tree’s ability to self-pollinate makes it a resilient tree and allows it to have many different varieties of colors, tastes, and sizes. Their five-petaled flowers appear in the spring blooming with a brilliant fragrance. The petals are white on top and pink underneath as they bloom. The fruit appears in late summer and ripens in autumn. The fruit can be red, yellow, green, or streaked red with yellow.

Medicinal properties of apples

Many have heard the common phrase ” An apple a day, keeps the doctor away.” What if there was some truth to that? Apples are rich in vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber, making them beneficial for overall health from boosting your immune system to aiding in weight management. Apples have been used for centuries in healing remedies, thanks to their antioxidants. Apples are great to use to treat constipation, other digestion issues, and even support a balanced gut microbiome. Apples contain malic and tartaric acids which helps neutralize the chemicals associated with gout even! Apples have even been linked to reducing the risk of chronic diseases, such as heart disease by lowering cholesterol levels and certain types of cancer. They even clean your teeth! The act of eating a whole apple (not sliced and peeled) cleans the teeth and freshens the breath. It helps remove plaque and pushes back the gums to remove deposits.

Symbolism of the apple in magic, lore, and myths

Apples are a true symbol of Autumn and Winter, most likely because, that’s when they are harvested. We’ve also seen them as part of Fall and Winter festivals and celebrations for thousands of years across cultures. But, don’t be fooled while apples are a key focus of fall they are seen throughout the year as well in different cultures. So, don’t be afraid to use them year round. Not only do we see them in festivals throughout the year we also see them apart of many myths and lore. So, many I’d never be able to cover them all here. From seeing the apple as a center piece to Christianity, a gift of healing in Celtic lore, a way to immortality in Norse mythology, an agent of chaos and discord causing the Trojan war, to it popping up in modern pop culture delivering poison to a princess.

First up, in Western and European lore, apples are strongly used to symbolize forbidden knowledge (aka sin), divine wisdom, and self-awareness. We see this in one of the most commonly known myths from the bible and Christianity, which includes Eve ( the first women according to all versions after king James), a serpent, the garden of Eden, and of course an apple!

According to Christian lore, Eve was the first woman who lived alongside the first man Adam in paradise aka the garden of Eden. They were to use the garden as it’s home and care for it’s creatures. But, for some reason neither Adam nor Eve were supposed to ever eat the fruit from this ONE tree within the garden. God himself had commanded them not too. Than one day along came a serpent (aka Satan) slithering his way into the garden and into Eve’s ear. Where he convinced her to grab an apple (aka divine wisdom) from the forbidden tree and to take a bite. She than convinced Adam to do the same. God got pissed for their disobedience and exiled them from the garden and gave Eve the bonus punishment of childbirth for being the first to take a bite.

Next up, we see the apple as a symbol of healing, immortality, and the dead in a few key Celtic, Norse, and Germanic traditions and lore. In the Prose Edda, a key writing to reference for Norse Mythology; the goddess Idunn is the guardian of an apple orchard that grows apples of eternal youth a.k.a. immortality for the gods. Also, in the Old Norse tradition, the alfablot was a sacrifice to the elves/alfar and one of the most commonly used offerings was, you guessed it, apples! In Celtic myth, the enchanting fairy goddess Cliodhna; offers apples of healing and immortality to journeying heroes in the Celtic Otherworld. We see apples again in Celtic traditions as the food of the dead where it is used as an offering to them at different festivals. Like, Samhain which is coincidently also known as the feast of apples. It was also said in Celtic lore, that a magical apple branch called the silver bough allowed the person who held it to pass into the Otherworld safely.

In other myths like with the Greeks, apples symbolize love, beauty, discord, and war. They are often associated with deities like Zeus, Aphrodite, Hera, Athena, and Eris. My favorite Greek myth involving apples involves the goddess of discord Eris and the cause of the famous Trojan war. In Greek mythology, the Trojan War is probably the most famous event. Today, anyone with any knowledge of the war assumes that it began as a result of the abduction of Helen. But the abduction of Helen by Paris is just one starting point, and preceding this was another starting point where the goddess Eris and a golden apple was involved.

Zeus had arranged for Peleus ( a greek hero) to marry the sea nymph Thetis, so he decided to throw a huge wedding ceremony and celebration. This wedding was so big all of the gods and goddesses of the Greek pantheon were invited to the festivities; all except for the goddess of discord Eris. Who of course found out about the festivities AND that she was the only one not invited. Being the goddess of discord she decides to crash the party in a fit of rage, bringing with her a gift to throw in their faces and cause a little chaos. Now, there are a few different versions and theories as to how she got this gift and if you want to hear them all you can listen to me tell them here. But when she arrives, in hand she has a golden apple with the inscription ” to the fairest of them all”. She takes it and tosses it into the room amongst those who rejected her and watches the discord fall upon them all. You see that shiny golden apple would cause a fight between three goddesses (Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite) to claim it that would start a war between human kingdoms resulting in many to fall.

To the Ancient Romans apples were so sacred and important they were to be treasured and guarded. So, much so, this one fruit had their own deity to preside over and protect them! Her name was Pomona. Unfortunately, she’s one of those pagan deities whom most of their information has been lost to history. What I can find about her, is that she was a virginal nymph of the woods who married the personification of Autumn, named Vertumnus. They were a very fertile and passionate match which made them the reason for the bountiful apple harvest every fall. We would see them honored when offerings would be left for them at the edges of orchards. Apples pop up again with the Romans during the festival of Diana, when apple boughs were carried around for luck and prosperity.

We see the apple pop up in English lore and myth as well with the Isle of Avalon. The Isle of Avalon is a mythical island in Arthurian legend that is said to be a place of magic and healing. It is described as a utopian paradise, a fairyland island that is said to be lost in the mists of time. Ruled by the enchantress Morgan le Fay and her eight sisters. This sacred Isle of Avalon is also known as, you guessed it, the Isle of Apples. Because legend says apples grow there all year round as food.

Even now in pop culture the apple is everywhere we look on the iPhone, iPad, and computers. Reminding us of the access to wisdom and knowledge that comes with them. And let’s not forget the apple’s role in one of the world’s most beloved fairytales; Snow white. Its most pivotal moment is undoubtedly when a naïve Snow White bites into an apple poisoned by the jealous Evil Queen, lulling her into a slumber that can only be reversed with Prince Charming’s kiss. Showing us the dark, poisonous, and protective side apples have to offer.

Magical themes of Apples

In witchcraft every single ingredient and tool we use in our spells and rituals has magical themes and energies it can align with and be used for. Apples are no different as you saw in the myths and lore we talked about above. Some of the most common themes associated with apples are love, romance, and attraction spells. They can be used in spells, rituals, or charms to enhance love in an existing relationship, attract a new romantic partner, or promote harmony between others. Apples are also very popular with abundance and prosperity spells. They can be utilized to attract wealth, success, and opportunities for financial growth. Below, you will find a list of some of the other many magical themes associated with apples. Don’t forget you can use all parts of the apple, the bud, petals, leaves fruit, seeds, and wood from its tree as spell and ritual ingredients too!

The apple and the pentacle

The apple and the pentacle have a unique and potent relationship binding them together. Did you know if you cut an apple in half (the “fat way,” not the “tall way,” if that makes sense), you will find a pentacle star in the middle? This along with it’s seeds, which are poisonous, are where apples get their protective qualities from. The apple reminds us that we do not have to close ourselves off to the world in order to protect ourselves. We can bring healing to others AND be open without overstepping our own boundaries. You can also use this center star or pentacle, as an altar by pressing spell ingredients into the flesh of the apple. Using the apple core as an all natural protective altar.

Apple Peel Reading

Apples have been used in divination practices, such as apple peeling or apple seed reading. They are believed to enhance psychic abilities, intuition, and provide insights into the future. Apple peel reading, is a form of divination also known as pomatomancy. It is a traditional practice that uses the shape and letters formed by apple peels to gain insight and predict future events. This method has been used for centuries to seek guidance and answers and is really popular to do around the fall harvest time. The practice is really very simple, carefully peel your apple skin in one piece and remove it, allow the peel to fall, and let it reveal messages through its shapes, letters, and symbols to you.

Duality and the apple

Since, I am a grey witch I look for the duality in every single energy I work with including the tools and spell ingredients I use. And man is the apple ripe with the energy of duality. We see it in the themes it represents from love and discord, to death and immortality, to healing and protection. This fruit is connected to opposing energies and forces in almost every sense, along with the changing of the seasons and transition. Not only that, it’s such a versatile tool you can use it, in pretty much every area of your life. Which adds another juicy layer of duality to this fruit with each bite.

We can’t forget that the most popular time to work with this tool is in the fall when they are being harvested and there are plenty to go around. The fall season is a really unique pocket of liminal space and time for us to connect to duality. We get to be surrounded by the bounty and abundance of the fall harvest and all the joy, celebration and gratitude that brings. While we are also confronted with the reality of nature beginning to die around us and the dark cold winter that is very soon going to be upon us.

Working with the Introspective, detail orientated, and helpful Virgo New Moon

We are entering a new lunar phase this week, on September 2nd; the New moon. As the Moon changes signs approximately every 2-3 days, we feel the influence over our moods and intuition shift. This month we find the moon in the practical, organized, productive, grounded, nurturing, compassionate, helpful, reflective, and detail orientated sign of the maiden; Virgo. As the moon begins her cycle in the sign Virgo; we feel a deep, introspective, and comforting pull to go deep within the soils of who we are to reflect. Virgo reminds us of the power each of our daily actions and decisions has. While pushing us to make the changes we must. This new moon calls for us to look at our own lives to see where we want to put some attention to detail towards ourselves.

When the New Moon in Virgo arrives, it’s a good time to embrace fresh starts and new beginnings. As an earth sign, Virgo’s energy encourages you to get organized and focus on precision. To focus on the execution of your plans to meet your goals and serve those in need throughout your community. Virgo is all about creating order out of chaos, making it the perfect moment to set detailed intentions and plan your next steps. Virgo rules work, small projects, tasks, chores, and the details. This makes it a time we can focus on what we need to get done with extra productivity and efficiency. The Virgo New Moon provides an opportunity to make a list and go through everything that you didn’t have the time or energy for the month before. Then get them done and out of the way now as you prep for the long winter ahead.

This Virgo new moon, brings balance to your life with order, logic, and grounding. The Virgo new Moon forces you to become aware of the state of your health as Virgo is the ruler of all matters of health and wellness in the zodiac. This includes your mental, emotional and physical health, which may push you to make changes in your lifestyle and allow you to get the support you need to release old hurts. This new moon also brings with it a sense of balance with all of the hard work you have to put in for the fall harvest that is right around the corner, while also celebrating the joy and gratitude for the bounty the Earth has given you this season.

New Moon What Is It And Why We Honor It?

Every month, the New Moon carries us over the threshold of a new beginning. So, let’s talk about the new moon in general before we reorder the soils of our lives with new moon in Virgo. The new moon is the time to reflect and cleanse your energy. It is a time to set your intentions for what you wish to attract this lunar cycle. But, remember every intention set requires action and energy from your part as well. You can’t just set an intention and miraculously it is yours. You must also put the movement of energy behind it with action steps.

The new moon energy is there to support you in manifesting what you want. The new moon is a time to allow new ideas and energy to flow with you. It is a time to honor new beginnings, and the turning over of a cycle. Think of these intentions as seeds you are planting for this lunar cycle to be ready to harvest by the full moon. Use this time to rest, reflect, and plant what you will grow just as your ancestors across many cultures did while there was little light in the night sky for them to use.

Each New Moon is unique, offering its own magic within each month. To learn more about the foundations of working with the new moon, and how it affects you, read more here in my previous blog post.  And to learn more about the moon in general and lunar magic you can read my comprehensive guide on the topic here. You can also watch my class on YouTube with Divination Academy below!

So, who is Virgo?

This sign gets a lot of crap in the zodiac and many do not like to work with it and we often see people talking about how this is their most hated sign and energy to work with. For me this moon is one of my favorites every time it comes around. Maybe, it’s because I not only am a Virgo moon and rising, but I have Virgo in 9 of my houses so, when this moon comes around I personally am amplified. Or, maybe it’s because this energy is so dense and steeped in duality and movement. Which, I just simply can not wait to see what I can accomplish and get done while in it. But, let’s talk about who Virgo is to the Zodiac and the energy she represents.

Virgo is represented by the virgin or maiden archetype and is deeply connected to the element of earth and is a mutable sign. Virgo is an Earth sign so it’s practical, stable, and grounded but, it’s also related to Mercury. Which means it has an active mind and is related to communication as well. Virgo reminds us of the importance of maintaining a solid connection with the Earth and encourages us to connect with the divine order amidst the vast universal chaos. It reminds us the comfort the bounty of the earth has to offer all around us and the beauty order can create in nature.

The sign of Virgo, is rooted in the physical world which makes Virgo the sign of health and wellness, so right now we may focus on trying to work on health issues. This includes scheduling needed medical appointments, changing your eating habits, hydrating yourself, adding exercise, and adjusting your sleep schedule. Virgo’s ruling planet Mercury has dominion over the brain and the nervous system, which reminds us of the links between the mind and the functions of the body. This can be the perfect energy to use to help you eliminate a bad habit, or to quit something that is causing you harm.

Virgo can also be seen across many pantheons as a key representation to the seasons, duality, and a key part to the divine feminine energy we all are connected to. Virgo is represented by the maiden and virgin energy making her vital to the triple goddess representation of the divine feminine energy. She represents and connects us to the first pivotal transformation and shift we go thru in our lives moving from child to a maiden before the next phase into the mother energy of our lives. You see this energy and representation with goddesses like Persephone and her story of transformation to power thru duality.

Virgo the Maiden/Virgin

Unlike the majority of other zodiac signs, the symbol for Virgo is very unique since it is not an animal. Instead, the symbol is the beautiful maiden or the virgin and is depicted as a young woman carrying a sheaf of wheat, an image that can be interpreted as a fertility goddess or a harvest maiden. The maiden stands for beauty, purity, and tranquility. Virgo translates to “virgin” in Latin and the maiden is symbolic of this translation but, not in a literal sense. Her presence is considered a reflection of patience, integrity, and honor, all traits that the Virgo displays within the zodiac. The Virgo symbol of the Maiden also expresses the service-oriented qualities of this zodiac sign. As a grounded earth sign and an analytical mutable sign, Virgo is the purist of the zodiac, and also highly organized and clean.

The Virgo Constellation

Virgo is the largest constellation of the Zodiac and the second largest constellation in the sky located between the constellations Leo and Libra. It contains the bright star Spica, along with many exoplanets and deep-space objects. The constellation is also widely associated with the harvest. It marks the part of the sky where the Sun rises in autumn, when crops are harvested. In some Greek stories and myths, Virgo is Persephone, the daughter of the Greek goddess Demeter who ruled over the harvests. While in others, Virgo relates to Dike, the Greek goddess of justice. Virgo is therefore usually pictured as a young maiden standing or lying on her side and holding a sheaf of wheat. The star Spica represents the grain in her hand within the constellation.

Themes for the Virgo new moon

Every New Moon contains its own themes, which are related to the sign that it falls under. This time, we experience the New Moon in the practical, organized, productive, grounded, nurturing, compassionate, helpful, reflective, and detail orientated sign of the maiden/virgin; Virgo. The maiden is also the sign that represents our health, wellness, the mind, and the connection between our body and the mind. When you rearrange the soils of your soul, with not only the moon as your guide but the maiden as well. You are most likely to see themes focused on these topics as you sift through and analyze your emotions and thoughts. The Virgo New Moon is going to bring the spotlight on your health/ wellness, your inner thoughts and dialogue, your daily habits, as well as on the organization of your home and the tiny details that make up your life. Let’s explore some of the themes and energies of Virgo deeper below.

Virgo the Practical and analytical mind

Virgo is deeply connected to our practical and analytical side of our mind and it is heightened with it’s connection to mercury as well. With it being so analytical this energy can cause us to go deep into our minds and reflect. The Virgo new Moon highlights the invitation to notice in what areas of our lives we need more discernment, better boundaries, and a stronger connection with the Earth. Virgo likes to cut through the noise and get to the good stuff; constantly sorting out thoughts, feelings, and everything around. Virgo energy allows you to figure out what’s useful or useless, what’s true or not true, what’s right or wrong.

The Virgo new Moon offers us chances to see where better standards may be needed, where we may be ungrounded or excessively idealistic, and what needs to be differently structured or organized for the sake of better functionality or health. This lunation also invites us to refine our capacity to discern between the whispers of our intuition and the voice of our fears and insecurities. Take the time to really focus on differentiating between those voices especially in this energy and don’t allow the analytical energy of Virgo to turn into ruminating thoughts which it can very easily do. This new Moon in Virgo is a time to let go of self-doubt, perfectionism, and self-criticism as you step into your potential.

Virgo the sign of heightened productivity

The Virgo new Moon is often a time of heightened productivity. Virgo is the sign of work in the zodiac, and new moons rule beginnings; which makes this a time to really focus on the things you need to get done. Including the urge to create and start your to do lists. This is going to be overwhelming and you may become very hyper focused on them and take great joy in checking each task off the list as you finish it. We can take on and tackle all the tiny little projects, tasks, and chores at home or at a job, we have been putting off but, now must take care of and get done. This new moon is your chance to get organized, analyze your goals, and take action towards your dreams, without being overly critical of yourself.

Virgo is very detailed orientated, and thrives in order and cleanliness. So, when we are in this energy we can be focused and pay close attention to detail. By detail, I mean every tiny little detail. You may become aware of things in your life, your home, and relationships you never may have noticed before. Because, of this we can get hyper focused on tidying things up in our physical space by doing a fall cleaning, reorganizing our home, or purging and donating things.

With the extra attention to detail we can take a look at all areas of our life to see where it can use some more structure and order to lead to more efficient productivity. I know for me I end up redoing my bullet journal, my family binder, my schedule, my sons schedule, the list could go on. I end up endlessly planning and rearranging things but, in a very reflective way with purpose and drive for long term goals. Virgo reminds us that our time is finite and that we must treat it as a precious resource.

Virgo always being of service to others

Virgo is the sign of service to others and is overflowing with nurturing energy that simply wants to help anyone and everyone they see that needs it. Virgo is literally the healing energy of the cosmos and the energy that will help you with anything you need help with. Virgo takes deep happiness from helping others as well. You see this with many of your nurses, doctors, lawyers and social workers being from this sign. Virgo’s essence of being of service encourages you to align your actions with your heart’s desire, making this a powerful moment for intentional living for the greater good of the collective.

Since, Virgo loves to lend a helping hand, don’t be surprised if you are the first person to volunteer when a friend asks for a favor right now. But, don’t be mistaken; you won’t feel obligated in the least bit. Because Virgo loves to pitch in, you’ll not only want to come to someone’s aid, but you’ll also get extreme satisfaction from it.

This new moon makes it a great time to take a look around your community and see where you can serve those around you. What needs in community are not being met? How can you help those needs be met? How can you serve and nurture those around you? Where in your community can you volunteer your time to serve others? It’s a perfect lunation to start volunteering somewhere, plan a fundraiser, or host a community awareness event; especially focused on mental health with Virgo being the sign of the mind.

Virgo New Moon and Duality

Since, I am a grey witch every single energy I work with I look for the duality in that energy and how I can connect to it.

First, let’s talk about the sign Virgo.  I may be a bit biased on this sign to be honest since it is my birth sign, my ruling sign, and it dominates my entire chart ruling 9 of my houses. But, Virgo in my opinion is an energy that we miss the duality of often. Virgo is known for being very analytical, methodical, and detail oriented which creates an energy focused on change, goals, growth, problem solving, tiny details, and at times perfection. But, this sign is also one of the most compassionate, caring, and nurturing signs of the zodiac as well. Which also creates an energy that is very deep, loving, emotional, sensitive, and at times self sacrificing. The mix between these two energies weaves an energy and magic that pushes you to look at every tiny detail for perfection and ways to change things and those around you and for yourself. With the deep nurturing desire to push them and/or yourself to grow, heal, and be the best versions we are all capable of being for the greater good of the collective.

Second; the new moon itself is all about duality and illuminating the night sky in both light and shadows. The new moon is all about rebirth, renewal, and the beginning of a new cycle, which puts you in a transitional liminal space and energy. In order for you to be in a space to begin again, to transition, and be reborn you had to just come from and ending and death. If you want to know more about duality and being a grey witch you can watch my class with Divination Academy about it here.

What To Be Cautious Of This Virgo New Moon

So, let’s talk about the reasons why this sign tends to be so hated and what to look our for yourself with the Virgo energy. Since Virgo is so attached to your analytical side and so detail orientated it can come off as and be very critical at times of others. So, try and slow down and be clear with your communication with others during this time. Let them know you are coming from a place of caring, and simply wanting to help.

With it being detail orientated one thing this energy may do is cause your reflection and analysis to get very critical and harsh with yourself and cause some perfectionism to take over. So, remember to focus on the part of the Virgo energy that is nurturing and helping to others and extend it to yourself. And remember Virgo is the sign of health so physical self care can really build self compassion and help keep your critical thoughts at a productive level and not allow them to reach a harmful one.

Remember how Virgo brings heightened productivity and a push to get stuff done? That can sometimes go into overdrive with the Virgo energy. It can become so strong you simply want to go, go, and go. You may feel the need to get so much done you push yourself to burn out. DON”T LET THAT HAPPEN! During this time remember that the only way you can continue to be productive is by taking those breaks now and than when you need them. So take them! Set yourself some reminders in your phone even if you have to. Nothing, feels worse than doing a massive amount of work to watch it all backslide because you burn yourself out and can’t follow through.

Whether you do it thru meditation, actual shadow work, or just journaling while in reflection; below is a list of prompts and topics to connect with the energy of the Virgo new moon.

  • How can I create a balanced approach to my work and personal life?
  • Reflect on your current work-life balance. What changes can you make to ensure you’re giving enough time to both areas?

Leaf Intention Setting Ritual

One of my favorite things to do when the air gets a little crisper, and the leaves begin to change color and fall; is to use the fall leaves for intention setting rituals! It’s a simple and fun thing to do and the prep gets you out into the beauty of nature which allows you the ability to connect to the element of earth; the ruler of Virgo.

For your prep work grab something to write with. I find that sharpies tend to work best for actually sticking to the leaves. If you don’t have any, you can also use small strips of paper you can mix into a handful of leaves. Next, take the time to head outside and go on a mindful nature walk while you look for and find as many leaves as you have intentions to set.

Once, you have them simply find a peaceful spot where ever you are in nature that is calling to you. Than take the time to take deep, mindful breaths in and out taking in all the sounds, smells, and sensations of the Earth all around you. Consider what provides a sense of stability to your life and what brings stress or chaos. This can help you make better decisions about where to put your energy and what intentions you are about to set. Envision the intentions now that you are going to set this lunar cycle. Focus on each tiny detail of your intentions. Focus on the plans and how you will achieve them and how productive they make you feel. When you feel set on your intentions write them on your leaves or little strips of paper while holding the vision of each detail in your minds eye. Finally, on your next exhale release your intentions to the winds of fall and the detail orientated and productive Virgo new moon.

Wrap up

However you choose to connect to this new moon and work with its energy be prepared to experience the reflective, productive, detail orientated, and grounding energy of the maiden. During this Virgo New Moon, remember it’s the perfect time to focus on organizing your life and setting detailed intentions. Virgo energy is all about precision and practicality, making it ideal for refining your daily routines and caring for your physical body. As you align with this lunar cycle, you’ll find that the structured approach of Virgo helps you create a solid foundation for your goals to achieve your wildest dreams. Remember this new moon calls for you to look at your own life to see where you need to focus on the attention to detail towards yourself and how you need to rearrange things for healthy productivity.

Working with the magic of September; Harvesting duality, gratitude, and abundance

In September the air begins to get a little chillier and crispier, the leaves change brilliant colors, and the animals are foraging building their stores for the colder months to come. We feel the pull to reflect and give thanks on the year so far and to prepare and organize for the year we have left. September marks a liminal time of transition, preparation, and gratitude for the abundance of autumn coming and the bountiful harvest the Earth is teeming with. As the days begin to shorten and the weather cools in the Northern Hemisphere, it becomes a time to focus on balance, introspection, and inner transformation. September is associated with the autumn equinox, a.k.a. Mabon, a time of balance between light and dark, and realigning ourselves with the universal truth and energy of duality. It’s a time to give thanks for the abundance of the harvest, reflect on the blessings of the past year, and prepare for the darker half of the year coming.

History of September

September is the ninth month of the year in the Gregorian calendar, with 30 days between August and October. The word “September” comes from the Latin word septem, which means “seven”. Since, the ancient Roman calendar, began in March, this made September the seventh month. When Julius Caesar reformed the calendar later, to add months and change their lengths, September became the ninth month instead, but kept its name.

Zodiac Signs For The Month Of September

Those born in September are said to be born under either the sign Virgo ( like me!) or the sign Libra.

First, Virgos are born between August 22nd and September 22nd. They are an earth sign that are known for being logical, practical, and perfectionists. They are also known for being methodical, quick thinkers, and natural helpers. I may be a bit biased being a Virgo and not only that; it ruling 9 of my houses!
But, I feel Virgos get a lot crap and seems to be one of the most hated signs because they are so analytical, focused on details, being perfectionist, and always needing to problem solve. But, they also are some of the most nurturing, compassionate and sensitive souls that take on caring for the world around them as well.

Next, Libras are born between September 23rd–October 22nd. They are known for being charming, diplomatic, and peace-making, and are said to have a strong moral compass and the ability to see both sides of an argument. They are also known for being obsessed with symmetry and balance, and strive to create equilibrium in all areas of life.

Sacred Days And Celebrations In September

Every Single month has sacred and important days and celebrations to help you connect to the energies of the month. Plus they usually are a lot of fun to take part in! Below you will find a list of the sacred days and celebrations for the month of September and there are many for this month! But, first we are going to talk about the one that is front and center this month for pagans, and witches. We even see it on the wheel of the year. In case you didn’t know; the wheel of the year; is a visual representation of the cyclical nature of time and the seasons, and symbolizes the eternal cycle of life, death, and rebirth. This month we celebrate the sabbat, Mabon and the fall equinox on the wheel.

The Fall equinox or Mabon or Second Harvest (September 21st-23rd)

Across many cultures, the time of the autumn equinox aka Mabon, has been marked with festivals that celebrate the second harvest, a crucial period for gathering resources before the onset of winter. Mabon, or the fall equinox, is the first step toward the season of transformation. This is a time of transition and harvest, and a time of balance and realignment as we turn to greet the darkness of shadow season. As the Autumn Equinox brings equal day and night, Mabon stands as a poignant reminder of balance and reciprocity.

Mabon is not only a time for celebration but also for reflection and preparation. It encourages contemplation of life’s balances—light with dark, activity with rest, and abundance with scarcity. This equilibrium is reflected in the equal length of day and night during the equinox. In this sense, Mabon mirrors the theme of balance seen in the earlier spring equinox festival, Ostara, but with a focus on gratitude and the harvesting of blessings. This sabbat serves as a reminder to cherish and utilize the abundance currently available while preparing for the leaner times winter may bring. It’s a time to make the most of the remaining warmth and light, gathering resources and fortifying homes against the coming cold, all while giving thanks for the year’s bounty and the people with whom we share it.

To connect to the energy of Mabon and celebrate this sacred day of gratitude, reflection, and balance you can join me live on Sunday September 22nd @ 3:00pm CST in Facebook live with DiviNation Academy. You can RSVP to the event here and you can even watch my guided meditation from Mabon last year here!

Magical And Witchcraft Themes For September

In witchcraft September is a time to go within yourself, harvest the seeds you had planted and grown, plan for the coming winter months, and balance yourself in duality. September is a time to work on balancing energies and expressing gratitude for the blessings of the harvest season. This month perform spells to cultivate inner balance, restore harmony, give thanks for the harvest, and embrace the changing seasons. It’s also an ideal month to spend time in introspection, journaling about your experiences, analyzing your discipline and structure, and giving thanks for the abundance in our lives. It’s a very liminal time weaved with the energies of duality. This is one of my favorite months to really soak up the teeming abundance of nature around me as I bring in the harvest from my gardens in gratitude.

The gods and goddesses of September

With every season and month there are certain themes, magic, and energies we have the ability to connect to including deities. Everyone works with and views deity energy a little differently. Whether you view them as archetypes of the human consciousness, representations of the source energy, or as being entities on their own, there are certain deities that now is the time to connect to and honor them in the most sacred and amplified way.

During this month a few deities take center stage because they have festivals or sacred days during this month to help you connect with them in a very intimate way. The deities that are going to be the best for you to connect to right now are deities connected to the fall harvest, abundance, gratitude, transformation, transition, duality, light and dark, the earth, and balance. You can also choose to work with the energy of the fall equinox and Mabon and the deities associated with it. Below we will talk about some of the deities you can work with this month.

Demeter

Demeter is a major goddess in Greek mythology who plays an important role in the lives of the ancient Greeks, who relied heavily on crops and grains for their existence. She presides over crops, grains, food, and the fertility of the earth, and represents good harvests, fruits, vegetation, and the nourishment and growth of the earth. Demeter is also associated with health, birth, and marriage, and has connections to the Underworld. She is also known as the Harvest Goddess and Deo. Demeter is the daughter of Cronus and Rhea, and the sister and consort of Zeus, the king of the gods. Demeter’s legend centers on her daughter Persephone, who is carried off by Hades, the god of the underworld. Demeter goes in search of Persephone, and during her journey she reveals her secret rites to the people of Eleusis and created the seasonal cycle.

Ceres

Ceres was the Roman goddess of agriculture, grain, and the love a mother bears for her child. Ceres was the goddess of the growth she was associated with the earth, with women, and with both the fruitfulness of crops and the fertility of humans. She was associated with the realm of the dead, law and order, and the protection of the Roman plebeians (the “commoners”). Much like the Greek Demeter, a central part of Ceres’ mythos involved the abduction of her daughter Proserpina by the Underworld god Dis. Ceres, was first and foremost a goddess of grain and agriculture. Ceres was the goddess of agriculture, farming, and, she was the goddess that directly ensured that the people had something to eat. Without the Roman goddess Ceres good graces, winter and famine were upon the Romans.

Chang’e

Chang’e is the ethereal Chinese Goddess of the Moon, she is known for her captivating beauty, her immortality, and her connection to lunar cycles. Legends tell the story of her ascent to the moon, where she resides and is admired by people from afar. In this story, she was the wife of a heroic archer who was rewarded for his services to the gods by a gift of the elixir of immortality. In her husband’s absence, she stole the potion and drank it herself. She is often depicted as a woman with long black hair, pale skin, red lips, and flowing robes. Her name translates to “the beautiful Cháng”. She is celebrated in poems and novels, and some people worship her during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Persephone

I saved in my opinion the best for last, my matron deity, a central deity for this month and Mabon; Persephone. In Greek mythology, Persephone is the goddess of agriculture, the spring, the Underworld, duality, and the wife of Hades. Prior to her marriage with Hades she was known as Kore, which means “daughter” or “maiden”. Persephone is the daughter of Zeus, the chief god, and Demeter, the goddess of agriculture. Persephone, is a captivating figure in Greek mythology. She holds the dual role of being the Queen of the Underworld and the Goddess of Spring. As the wife of Hades, Persephone governs the realm of the dead with grace and power. Persephone’s presence in the Underworld brings a sense of balance between life and death. However, Persephone does not rule only the underworld, she is also the reason for the seasons cycle of change. During the spring season, she emerges from the depths and returns to the Earth, bringing with her the arrival of new life and vibrant colors. During the fall she returns to the underworld bringing the cold of winter and the death of life and nature all around us.

To learn all about this alluring, intriguing, and complicated goddess, and see her story in a whole new light. Plus meet her in a guided meditation you can watch my class all about her below!

In your everyday life you can make sure your affirmations , intentions, and manifestations align with the energies of the fall harvest, abundance, duality, transition, balance, reflection, and the cycle of seasons.

Some Rituals and spell workings during this time that will be really intensified will be based on the bounty of the harvest all around us and fertility. You can do things like create a lucky money bag, a prosperity bowl, or perform some spells using egg magic. September is a time of the year where witches are able to really connect to the abundance of nature and the gratitude we have for her sustaining us. We can use this time to physically reconnect with nature through all kinds of nature magic, earthing, grounding, weather magic and elemental magic. Don’t forget to also take the time to give thanks to the earth for the harvest through rituals, prayers, and offerings as well especially during the equinox and Mabon!

September creates a very potent liminal pocket of time that is teeming with duality, balance, and the power of transition. It’s a month that really pulls us to go deep within ourselves for introspection, reflection, self awareness, and growth. This makes it a great month to do any work on transformation, rebirth, and renewal through shadow work.

Duality and the month of September

Since, I am a grey witch I look for the duality in every single energy I work with including sacred times like a month of the year like September. I may be a bit biased on this month to be honest since it is my birth month and part of the month is ruled by the sign that dominates my entire chart; Virgo. And Virgo in my opinion is an energy that we miss the duality of often. Virgo is known for being very analytical, methodical, and detail oriented which creates an energy this month focused on change, goals, growth, problem solving and at times perfection. But, this sign is also one of the most compassionate, caring, and nurturing signs of the zodiac as well. Which also creates an energy that is very deep, loving, emotional, sensitive, and at times self sacrificing. The mix between these two energies weaves an energy and magic that pushes you to look at every tiny detail for perfection and ways to change things and those around you and for yourself. With the deep nurturing desire to push them and/or yourself to grow, heal, and be the best versions we are all capable of being for the greater good of the collective.

This month not only is teeming with an abundance of the energy of Virgo and its duality but, we also see it in the transition this month brings us through. This month marks the time of the year when we mark the cyclical transition from one season to another. We see us leave the hot, vibrant, fun and sun based season of Summer and turn our attention to the crisp, cool, productive, and earth based season of fall. We literally get to watch in real time this month, nature transitioning from being bustling with life to decaying in death. This month is a really unique pocket of liminal space and time for us to connect too. We get to be surrounded by the bounty and abundance of the fall harvest and all the joy, celebration and gratitude that brings. While we are also confronted with the reality of nature beginning to die around us and the dark cold winter that is very soon going to be upon us.

Harvest duality, gratitude, and abundance this September

We talked about many things in this blogpost including the history, some celebrations, the different energies and magical themes we can work with during this month, how to connect to those energies, deities we can honor and worship, and how to work with the magic of September. No matter how you choose to work with the energies and magic of September make sure to be focused on continuing your rebirth for this year. Be mindful and remember to give thanks for the seeds you planted at the beginning of the season. That you nourished with love, and are now harvesting with glee and gratitude. Take note of the leaves changing colors before they fall as you reflect on the past year and the growth it took to get here. Allow yourself to become immersed in the magic of duality weaving in nature all around you. As you cycle through the changing of the seasons this month and prepare for the long winter ahead of us.

The magic of Saturday; amplify your spells with the energy of the day

Every day of the week has it’s own magic and energy you can harness to influence your life and magical practices and in this blog series we are going to talk about them all. Next up, we are going to talk about the energy and magic you can align with on Saturday. Saturday is the sixth day of the week in most cultures and calendars. Others view it as the last day of the week while in some Muslim cultures it’s the first day. In Judaism, Saturday is known as Shabbat, or the Sabbath, and is a day of rest and religious observance.

The name “Saturday” comes from the Old English word sæterndæg, which is a translation of the Latin Sāturnī diēs, meaning “Saturn’s Day”. The Romans named the day after Saturn, their god of agriculture, who was also associated with fertility, strength, wealth, feasts, and abundance.

Saturday is ruled by the planet Saturn

For pagans and witches, every single day of the week is ruled by a planet and Saturday is ruled by the planet Saturn. Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and the second largest planet in our solar system. Adorned with beautiful, bright, sparkling rings, Saturn is sometimes referred to as “the Jewel of the Solar System”. Saturn is also blanketed with clouds that appear as faint stripes, jet streams, and storms appearing many different shades of yellow, brown, and gray.

Magic and witchcraft themes

When it comes to magic and witchcraft you can certainly cast spells whenever you need them. But, if you want a little extra oomph, and when you want to amplify your results, aligning your spell casting with the correct day of the week is one way to do that. This day of the week got it’s name from the god of karma and time, Saturn or Chronos and connects us to Capricorn as well. Which makes todays energy all about time, karma, boundaries, baneful magic, discipline, structure, protection, banishing, material matters, and cleansing.

In mythology, Saturn dethroned his father Uranus which creates a cycle of life and death with the evolution of the old regime and the rebirth of a new one. Because of this, Saturn symbolizes concrete matter and birth-life-death cycles. This makes today an ideal day to do any spells related to destruction, abandonment, hatred, death, and disasters. Along with any type of spell work and rituals that enhance communication with spirits, ancestors, or working with the veil.

Just as Mars on Tuesday inspires us to pursue our goals, today Saturn gives us the spiritual and mental strength to do so. It increases our resistance by giving our intuition a sense of determination and gives us the attention to create realistic and successful plans. Saturn protects against any internal or external damage that may hinder us, so that we can follow our ambitions. This makes today a great day to cast spells to strengthen both the body and the mind as well.

Freezer jar spell for Saturday

By literally “putting them on ice,” inside the jar, you regain a sense of control and agency over your circumstances.
How to perform:
Get into sacred space. On the piece of paper, write the name of your enemy or a brief description of the situation you wish to freeze.
Place the paper inside the container wrapped around one of the lemon halves, along with the basil, garlic, and pepper flakes. Visualize your desired outcome as you do so, focusing on the sense of liberation and protection you seek. Fill the container with water, covering the contents completely. As you do, envision the unwanted person or issue being sealed away and rendered powerless. visualize them or it being literally frozen in its tracks. Seal the container tightly and place it in the freezer. Come back to the spell once a week to charge it.

Break a bad habit spell

Since, Saturday is ruled by Saturn and Chronos this makes it a day steeped in the energy of boundaries, time, and discipline. This makes it a great day to sit down, take stock of your life and find the things that aren’t serving you any longer. The habits you do that hinder you and hold you back from reaching the goals you have set in life. To do what you need in order to structure your life for success and for you to thrive.

Saturday black candle banishing spell

Today is a great day to do a banishing spell to get rid of someone in your life who is causing you harm or is unwanted energy and no longer healthy for you to be around.

How to perform this spell:
take your black candle and use a pin or something sharp to carve the persons name and date of birth you want removed from your life. Than take your candle and place it in front of you. Take your salt and encircle your candle in a ring of protection.
Right before midnight light your black candle. after taking some deep breaths and getting into sacred container. At midnight visualize intensely the person no longer being in your life and no longer affecting you in any way. let the candle be consumed until the flame goes out.

Chord cutting using no tools

One of the best practices for releasing unhelpful attachments is a cord-cutting ritual, a practice that severs the energetic ties that are keeping you connected and attached to people and situations that are no longer serving your highest good. When a cord-cutting ritual is successful, you regain control of your energy and are free to be more intentional about how you direct it— and who you share it with. Which makes it a form of protecting your energy, yourself and your relationships. With today being Saturday it is a very potent night to perform a chord cutting and have success!

Remember there is no right or wrong way to do a chord cutting follow your energy and intuition. Remember as well, chord cuttings may need to be done more than once if you are not set in your intention when performing and/or it is a very toxic chord like with a narcissist.

How to perform:

Find a quiet space where you won’t be disturbed, take some deep breaths in and set your sacred container by calling all your energy back to you.

Once, you feel your energy is whole, clean, and stable start to envision a chord of energy between you and the person you wish to cut your energetic chord with. If you need to envision a color; I like to use black, grey, or silver.

Once, you can see the chord, next envision whatever tools you would like to use to cut this chord. You can even chose to envision fire and burn the chord instead of cutting it with a tool.

Once, you have picked the way or tool you are going to use to cut/release this enegetic chord, take a few deep breaths in and state allowed

“ I (your name) release (their name) from my life and I cut, release, burn, and remove this energetic chord between us. This person will no longer have access to me in any realm and in any form. I am removed from them physically, mentally, emotionally, and spirituality. I cut and remove all energy attached to me from them. I remove all unwanted, stagnant, and stale energy that does not serve my highest purpose.”

Once, stated envision your tool and/or fire energy cutting and/or burning the energetic chord.

As it is cut take a few deep breaths in and out to experience the energetic release throughout your system.

Saturday Shattered life hex

With Saturday being a day to do some very potent protection magic why not teach someone in your life a lesson who really needs to learn one? Use this hex to shatter someone’s life using protection and mirror magic! To learn more about mirror magic you can read all about it here; https://modgepodgemystic.com/mirror-mirror-on-the-wall-whose-the-most-magical-of-them-all-a-guide-to-mirror-magic/

Return to Sender invoking Lilith

Another way we can cast protection spells is by using a mirror as a magical tool for protection. Mirrors can be used for protection and binding spells. They send unwanted deeds and energies back to their senders. Think about it like light: when a light hits a mirror, the mirror reflects the light back. The principles of protective mirror magic are similar: the mirror acts as a shield that reflects the energy back. One type of spell you can use a mirror for protection is a return to sender spell. Cast this one today also invoking Lilith for some extra potent protection today! If you need to learn more about how to work with mirrors as magical tools and mirror magic you can read my guide about it here; https://modgepodgemystic.com/mirror-mirror-on-the-wall-whose-the-most-magical-of-them-all-a-guide-to-mirror-magic/

Make some black salt as a magical tool

Today is one of the perfect days to make one of my personal favorite magical tools, that I try to always have on hand; black salt. Black salt may be a little time consuming to make and sometimes I am forgetful to make sure I have the ingredients but, I do my very best to always have a jar or two of black stored on my altar to use as needed.

Black salt is packed with purifying, cleansing and protection energy and that combination makes it so potent in protection. You can also amplify the black salt by chanting, or reciting an invocation as you ground your shells and blend the salt. You can draw sigils in it as you make it. You can also visualize your energy and intention as you make it to set a specific intention to your protection or target. For even more amplification you can charge the ingredients like your ashes under the moon light to add the intention of the phase and sign the moon is in.

How to create black salt:

  • Step 1- Crush your cleaned and dried egg shells using a mortar and pestle is the easiest
  • Step 2- Add ashes, black pepper, and sea salt and blend
  • Step 3-Transfer to a container for safe keeping.
  • optional- charge your ingredients under the moon prior. Add sigils to the container to amplify. You can also chant and recite invocation while blending to add intention

Black salt is a very powerful tool for protection, warding, banishing, cursing, and hexing. It has many uses from placing around your room or bed to ward of nightmares. Lining the threshold of your door for protection. Adding to a spell jar, or ritual for protection. However you choose to use black salt it should be a staple on your shelf and altar and below are some ways you can use this protective magical tool.

Uses for black salt:

  • You can add it to a spell jar to ward your property.
  • Add to many hexes, curses, bindings and banishing.
  • You can add it to a spell bag and place under your child’s pillow to ward of nightmares and bad dreams.
  • Sprinkle some in your shoes as protection when you leave the home.
  • Create a barrier around your front door with it.
  • add to a spell jar
  • add to a spell bag
  • line your front door with it
  • sprinkle under your bed
  • add to protection spells and rituals
  • use it to seal window seals and thresholds

Home protection and banish unwanted energy simmer pot

We need to not only protect ourselves magically but, also our homes. Our home is one of the spaces we spend the most time in. It’s where we manifest, do our spell work, and where our soul goes to rest and recharge each night. So, we need to make sure to regularly protect it after we cleanse and clear unwanted energy out. One of my go to protection magics for the home is using a simmer pot. Simmer pots are easy to do, very potent, and they leave your house smelling amazing! Use this recipe to bring protection into your home and banish any unwanted energy.

The magic of Friday; Amplify your spells with the energy of the day

Every day of the week has it’s own magic and energy you can harness to influence your life and magical practices and in this blog series we are going to talk about them all. Next up, we are going to talk about the energy and magic you can align with on Friday. Friday is the fifth day of the week in most cultures and calendars. Others view it as the 6th day of the week while in some Muslim cultures it’s the last day.

For most Friday is the day they look forward to the most all week; since Friday is the last day of the working week, and the first day of the weekend. The word “Friday” comes from the Old English word Frīgedæg, which means “Freya’s day”. In Norse mythology, the name of the day is based on the name of either Freya, the love goddess, or Frigg, the chief goddess and Odin’s wife and the deity of marriage. In Latin, it’s called dies Veneris, which means “Venus’s day” and refers to the Roman goddess of love.

Friday is ruled by the planet Venus

For pagans and witches, every single day of the week is ruled by a planet and Friday is ruled by the planet Venus.  Venus is the second planet from the Sun, and Earth’s closest planetary neighbor. It’s the hottest planet in our solar system shrouded in clouds and often referred to as Earth’s twin. In most depictions Venus looks like a brilliant yellow-white reflective ball due to the vast amount of clouds covering its surface.

Magic and witchcraft themes

When it comes to magic and witchcraft you can certainly cast spells whenever you need them. But, if you want a little extra oomph, and when you want to amplify your results, aligning your spell casting with the correct day of the week is one way to do that.

Use the energy of Friday to connect you to all that love can open for you.

Every day of the week has it’s own magic and energy you can harness to influence your life and magical practices and in this blog series we are going to talk about them all. Next up, we are going to talk about the energy and magic you can align with on Wednesday. Wednesday is the third day of the week in most cultures and calendars. Others view it as the fourth day of the week while in some Muslim cultures it’s the fifth day.

The word Wednesday comes from the Old English Wēdnesdæg, which literally means “Woden’s day”. Woden was the name of the chief god of the Germanic people in ancient northern Europe, who are now usually referred to as Odin. Wednesday is also sometimes called “hump day” because it’s in the middle of the work week. This term originated around 1965 and implies that once Wednesday is over, the weekend is in sight

Wednesday is ruled by the planet Mercury

For pagans and witches, every single day of the week is ruled by a planet and Wednesday is ruled by the planet mercury. Mercury is the smallest planet in our solar system and the closest to the sun. Mercury is named after the swift Roman god because it moves very quickly around the sun. In most depictions the planet, appears as a light gray color with some brownish-red streaks. Mercury is the planet that rules communication. All forms of communication from thought, speech, writing, networking, looking for information, divination, and communication thru art. Not only does it rule communication but, its very quick in it’s thinking as well and how it affects us.

But, if you want a little extra oomph, and when you want to amplify your results, aligning your spell casting with the correct day of the week is one way to do that. Since, Wednesday is associated with Mercury, it is the ideal day for spells to enhance communication, learning, travel, business success, boosting memory, gaining clarity, seeking wisdom, and decision-making.

This day also can be great to use for luck and good fortune, specifically for a business, You can also cast spells for travel and wisdom.

Today is a day to reflect and take a deep inner look and really think about if you are a good listener to those in your life.

Correspondences for Wednesday

It is seen also as an item to respect, honor, and venerate that energy as well whether it be a deity, an archetype energy, the zodiac energy the moon is currently in or a day of the week like, Wednesday.

Wednesday spell to increase focus for study and research

Remember, Wednesday is ruled by the planet Mercury which makes it a day where we can connect to communication, and clarity which means not only communication through language and speech but, also through the exchange of knowledge and information. Use this spell to help increase focus and clarity and allow knowledge to flow to you and be absorbed today!

“May magick support my study
May magick boost my potential
May magick support my growth
May magick boost my understanding
By the power of the universe and the magic within me let my mind be clear and free.
Let my focus be sharp and all distractions fade away. Let the knowledge I seek flow to me with ease
amen aho so mote it be”

Work with and balance your throat chakra

Like stated many times above Wednesday is a day steeped in the energy of communication. How do we communicate? Where in our energy system do we get the ability to speak? The throat chakra! This makes Wednesday the best day to work with and balance your throat chakra. But, first what is your throat chakra.

Your throat chakra is located over your throat in the middle of your neck. It’s blue in color and governs how you speak to others and how you speak of yourself. Communication is the key aspect of the throat chakra and relates to ALL forms of communication including writing and music. It’s how you express (or don’t) express your truth. If your throat chakra is functioning well, you communicate your feelings and needs with others in a healthy manner AND express your true self.

The Vishuddha, or throat chakra, gives voice to the heart chakra and controls our ability to communicate our personal power. When it’s functioning at full capacity, it allows us to express ourselves truly and clearly. Someone with a blocked throat chakra will feel like they have trouble finding the words to say how they truly feel.

This makes it the perfect day to preform magic that can help you approach someone in your life to fix a previous miscommunication issue or to have a hard conversation you need to have. This spell bag will help you get your point across clearly and affectively. Try making this clear communication spell bag today and carrying it with you throughout the rest of the week to aid in clear communication with others.

Spell bag to enhance focus while studying

Remember, Mercury is the planet that rules Wednesday which makes today a great day to do spellcasting to help enhance your focus while you study and research whether it’s for pleasure or for an exam.
Create the spell bag below today and keep it on you while you study or place it in the drawer at your desk or study area.

Clear Communication Candle spell for Wednesday

Today is a great day to resolve issues with those you love by having a conversation. This even includes those you may have no communication with at all. When repairing relationships that are so damaged in terms of communication, it can be nice to get a little extra help. Use this spell to make a person get in contact with you or to allow healthy, clear communication with another to resolve an issue or conflict. I recommend doing this spell at least one day prior to the having the conversation if that is possible.

How to perform:

Grind and mix the herb blend and roll your candle coated in honey in the blend continuing to hold your intention.

Others view it as the third day of the week while in some Muslim cultures it’s the fourth day.

The word “Tuesday” comes from the Old English word tīwesdæg, which literally means “day of Tiw”. Tiw was the name of a Germanic war god that the ancient northern Europeans worshiped. The word “Tuesday” may also have come from the Latin phrase dies Marti, which means “day of Mars”. In Old English, the Roman god Mars was replaced by Tiw, the Anglo-Saxon war god.

Tuesday is ruled by the planet Mars

For pagans and witches, every single day of the week is ruled by a planet and Tuesday is ruled by Mars. Mars is located directly next to Earth and in most depictions it is shown as being a reddish orange color. Within the solar system Mars purpose is to control and counter Venus which makes it a very masculine planet and energy. While the sun is the paternal side of the divine masculine, mars is the powerful, very virile, and aggressive side of the divine masculine.

The Unique energy of the planet mars is oozing with passion, strength, and a will to fight. Mars is associated with courage, physical energy, protection, conflict resolution, passion, power, strength, war, and assertiveness. Mars is the planet to help you prepare for any uncomfortable situation you may find yourself in.

Magic and Witchcraft themes

When it comes to magic and witchcraft you can certainly cast spells whenever you need them. But, if you want a little extra oomph, and when you want to amplify your results, aligning your spell casting with the correct day of the week is one way to do that. Since, Tuesday is associated with Mars, it is the ideal day for spells of courage, strength, protection, and assertiveness. To empower courage and confidence by envisioning yourself as strong and assertive. It is the day to ignite your inner fire, gather your strength you didn’t know you had, and call on your courage to help you face any challenge or advisory.

Tuesday is a unique day in magic as you can really cast spells to have success in all areas of your life. I would caution with doing love spells today though, as Mars can be a little aggressive with its energy. Which can led to some unwanted results like obsession. I do recommend using the passion, and fire of Mars for sex magic tonight though. It can really heat up the pleasure in the bedroom.

Correspondences for Tuesday

First, what is a correspondence? A correspondence is an item or symbol that is meant to connect you to a specific energy thru it’s representation. It is seen also as an item to respect, honor, and venerate that energy as well whether it be a deity, an archetype energy, the zodiac energy the moon is currently in or a day of the week like, Tuesday. I will give you some ideas below for you to use. Remember to follow your intuition with the correspondences you choose to work with and that you can always use any that correspond that calls to you for the energies of the day.

  • Element- Fire
  • planet-mars
  • Chakra- sacral chakra
  • Gender- Masculine
  • colors- red, black, silver
  • Herbs/flowers-rose, nettle, thistle, cactus, basil, rue, chickweed, coriander, thyme, tarragon, holly

  • Deities- Tyr, Ares, Mars, the morrigan, horus, kali, Diana, danu, Eris, Tiwaz, Lilith
  • Zodiac: Aries & Scorpio

Ways to work with the energy of Tuesday

We’ve talked a lot about all the different themes connected to the magic and energy Tuesday has and gives us access to work with. So, how can you specifically connect to those energies and perform magic aligned with it? In your everyday life you can make sure your affirmations, intentions, and manifestations set today align with the energies of courage, strength, protection, conflict resolution, overcoming obstacles, assertiveness, sexual pleasure, the divine masculine, and Mars. Don’t forget you can focus on success in all areas of your life except love.

In some practices like wicca many witches will caution you from casting on Tuesday at all, as they see it to be too aggressive of an energy they are willing to work with. I myself don’t agree with this and cast often on Tuesday. I do recommend to make sure you are cleansing the Monday prior and adding a little extra protection to any casting and rituals you do on a Tuesday to make sure you can direct the brute force of this days energy.

Below you will find some ideas for spells, rituals, and magical workings you can do to align with Tuesday as well.

Working With The Ambitious, grounded, And Fertile Capricorn Buck Full Moon

We will be entering a new lunar phase this week; the full moon on Sunday July 21st. The full buck moon in capricorn graces our skies amongst the bounty of nature, the longer days of summer and the masculine fertility flourishing around us. This full moon is special as it is the second consecutive Full Moon in Capricorn as the June Full Moon was also in this grounded earth sign. This creates a continuation of the energy during the June Full Moon during this full moon in July. This means the intentions and manifestations set last month are going to be a continued focus this month for even greater success and accomplishment.

During this Full moon we will be focused on achievement, responsibilities and success. But, we may end up putting too much on our shoulders as a result, which leads to a crushing weight overwhelming us with burn out. We have to be realistic and rational about it all, and not demand more from ourselves or others than is actually possible right now. This full moon under Capricorn calls for a deeper connection to our nurturing environments and listening to the messages we are getting from our heart. If you’re feeling called to slow down, receive the message.

A Capricorn Full Moon is all about success, progress, achievement, and never taking “no” for an answer. We can see results from the work we’ve put in, we can hit new heights, make what we want happen, get recognition, and make progress on our path. We can feel connected to the path we’re on, and like we’re going in the right direction. We get clarity of our sacred contracts and purposes and how we will live in accordance with them. Join me in this guide to learn all about; Working with the Ambitious, grounding, And fertile Capricorn Buck Full Moon.

First, What is the Full Moon

Over the centuries, the Moon has played a significant role in different cultures and traditions. The full moon simply put is when the moon is completely illuminated in the sky and it has reached it’s peak in this lunar cycle in the sky. When the moon is completely illuminated it’s time for all to reach full expression. The full moon is the most powerful and potent time of the entire lunar cycle.

A full moon occurs when the transit (moving) Sun and Moon are in the exact opposite positions in the Zodiac (called an opposition). The full moon greatly affects humans and it’s no wonder it does because, there’s a scientific reason for this – we are made up of 60% or more of water. Full Moons are the peak point of the lunar cycle: at this time of the month, the light of the Sun is fully illuminating the Moon, and the luminaries are exactly opposing one another from our perspective on Earth. This potent alignment offers us opportunities to gain more awareness about what is moving in our inner and emotional world, and information previously uncertain or hidden could be revealed at this time.

With the moon being fully illuminated it creates this portal to some of the most potent energy to connect to for us to manifest our desires and dream life. This portal creates a connection to our peak creative energy and the deep seated creative passions we all have within us. This creative energy and power is the energy we need to actually do and create the things and lifestyle we need to manifest what we desire. With the new moon phase being about planting the seeds of what you want to manifest, the full moon is about actually doing the work and moving the energy to make your manifesting happen. The full moon allows you to bridge the connection between these energies and themes and bring them into your life while reminding you how important it is to have them in your life not only when the moon is illuminated in the sky for you to see.

There are so many ways to work with the full moon, to learn more about the basics of working with the full moon energy check out my blog post here and you can watch my class all about lunar magic. But, remember each full moon will be slightly different and have different practices to add and different ways to do it based on which zodiac sign the full moon is currently in at the time.

The Buck Moon

July’s Buck Moon name and spiritual meaning are connected to the male deer also called a buck. During the Buck Moon season, male deer have grown their velvety antlers nad have emerged to attract potential mates. As the size and strength of their antlers are signs of fertility to the females. They will fight other males to assert their dominance, show motivation, and win over females. The Buck Moon’s energy can bring passion, courage and a desire for action which can result in positive changes and surprises in our lives. This energy also brings with it a sense of increased ambition, motivation, and fertility to our lives this season.

As with most pagan names there will be different ones for each culture so below I listed any of the other names for the buck moon I could find across the Earth. The common theme among them is focusing on the bounty and fertility of nature right now.

  • Wyrt Moon (Celtic) Wyrt is an Old English word that means plant or herb. This is why you may sometimes see July’s Full Moon referred to as the Herb Moon.
  • Thunderstorm Moon (Hiyeswa Tiriri Nuti ) Catawba Indian Nation
  • Sólmánuður (Norse) means Sun Month (source: Nordic Culture – Skjalden)
  • Mid-Summer Moon (ameku) Kalapuya, Pacific Northwest, Oregon
  • Claiming Moon (Celtic)
  • Raspberry Moon (Miskomini-giizis) Anishinaabe, Great Lakes
  • Hay Moon (Anglo-Saxon)
  • Time of Much Ripening (ohiari) Mohawk Eastern Woodlands
  • Meerkat Moon (South African origins) (source: Centre for Astronomical Heritage)
  • Rose Moon (Neo-Pagan)
  • Limbs are Broken by Fruit (dayamcho yachunne) Zuni Southwest, New Mexico

So, Who is Capricorn?

As a cardinal earth sign, Capricorn is about initiating and building. Capricorn is steadfast, hard-working, goal-orientated and relentlessly responsible. Capricorn is ruled by Saturn. Saturn is the planet of bounds, borders, barriers, constraints and confinements. Saturn, is also the planet associated with time. This makes Capricorn also connected with history and tradition, and asks us to reflect on the environment we’re living in and the systems and structures that are in place.

Capricorn is the height of the Zodiac, the highest point, and this is why it relates to our goals, our aspirations, what we strive for, and the heights we reach in life. We see this in the mountain goat thriving in the peaks of mountains. Capricorn is an ambitious energy with grand ideals; full of potential and a feeling of self importance. Capricorn knows it is meant for something special and expresses itself in pursuit of that. But, unlike the other earth sign Taurus who measures their successes in money and wealth, Capricorn seeks power and control.

With it being a full moon as well it becomes a time of culmination and results. The Capricorn Full Moon is usually a time when we see the results of hard and smart work, and we can reach new heights, achieve, and succeed. That is; if we’ve done things the right way and for the right reasons.

This moon focus on where you’re feeling insecure, lack support, or are having challenges with resources, and work to find a way around, tackle core issues, or find wiggle room. With this first Full Moon in Capricorn, it is a time to be honest with ourselves as well, and recognise where we have not yet mastered aspects of our selves or lives, then take aligned action to rectify that.

Capricorn The Sea goat

Capricorns are symbolized by the sea goat, a mythological creature with the body of a goat and tail of a fish. We often think of Capricorns as high achievers or business-oriented workhorses. This speaks to the goat aspect of their sea-goat symbol. Goats are scrappy, and some of them are capable of climbing to great heights. The fishtail portion of the sea-goat, on the other hand, holds the ocean and the vast, almost spiritual world that lies beneath it. This imagery speaks to Capricorn’s ability to navigate both the material and emotional realms. It’s the job of the Capricorn to strike a balance between these two realms of earthly achievements and spiritual truth.

Capricorn The Constellation Capricornus

In Greek mythology, Capricorn is linked to the god Pan, who is often depicted as partially goat-like. Pan is said to have the upper body of a human and the lower body of a goat. In one story, Pan dived into a river to escape the monster Typhon, but only transformed part of himself, becoming half goat and half fish. Zeus was amused by this and placed the image among the stars as the constellation Capricornus.

Capricorn The Ruler of Responsibilities

The hard-working sign values service, honor and public duty. Career, professionalism and reputation are extremely important to Capricorn, so the Moon here spotlights our need to succeed .Now is time to prioritize what you truly want to be remembered for and the work you’d like to contribute to the world. Capricorn is a sign that means business! Instead of being concerned with short-term satisfaction, you’ll be more inclined to dig in and focus on your long-term goals. Just like the mountain goat resides on top of the mountain, Capricorn energy feels its natural place is that of a leader, taking charge from the top. Because of this, during this full moon, you may feel empowered to take accountability for your actions or to simply step up and take charge somewhere in your life.

Capricorn The Sign of progress

The full moon in Capricorn always coincides with a moment of recognition and accomplishment. This is an aligned time to celebrate yourself and how far you’ve come. To take a look at all the progress you have already made. To stand up tall on your very own mountain, you have climbed to the top of and bask in your hard work to get there. It’s a time reflect on what worked on your climb up and what didn’t as well so, you can use that knowledge on your next climb up a mountain. To allow you a clear path and a greater chance of success going forward.

The Grounding Energy Of Capricorn

Capricorns is said to have a grounded, practical spirit. It is a sign associated with stability, groundedness, determination, hard work, and ambition. Capricorns are the last earth sign of the zodiac, and are said to embody the stable and nurturing qualities of their element. When the moon is in Capricorn it becomes a time to really ground into who you are, the direction you want to go, the path you will take, and duty to the world around you.

Themes Of Capricorn

We have talked a lot about who Capricorn is and how Capricorn can affect you and benefit you. Now let’s list all the topics to consider that correspond to the full Moon in Capricorn. Keep in mind that the full Moon relates to the continuation of your journey to manifest your desires and dreams.And this is especially strong this full moon with that continuation from the June moon and it being the second consecutive full moon in Capricorn. It is also a time to release all the things that no longer serve us and create blockage to our manifesting. It is the time to really truly nurture the seeds of intention you had planted during the new moon so, they can bloom and thrive. So, try and have any of your workings based on these topics be grounded in those seeds of intention you had planted on the new moon.

Also remember you have the abundance, and fertile energy of summer, the month of July, and the energy of the young buck looking for it’s mate to connect to as well.

  • Committed
  • Patient
  • Goal-oriented
  • Persevering
  • Responsible
  • Dependable
  • Rational
  • Trustworthy
  • Industrious
  • Persistent
  • Creative

  • Reflective
  • Protective
  • Pragmatic
  • Proud
  • Ambitious
  • Perfectionism
  • hard working
  • conservative
  • Duty bound
  • Grounded
  • determined

Things To Look Out For With Capricorn

We may feel easily overwhelmed by responsibilities we have right now. We can feel the weight of them pushing us down, and we need to work on managing them better. We may need to work on saying no more, and leaving room for small breaks where we can.

We also need to be aware of stubbornness right now. Persistence can often becomes a double-edged sword and turn into stubbornness. While it empowers us to stand our ground it may make us resistant to alternative viewpoints or new directions. Capricorns’ unwavering commitment to high standards may also force us to be over critical, making it challenging for us to accept imperfections in ourselves and others right now.

Capricorn energy can sometimes be overprotective of itself as well. Being cautious with expression of words or emotions, in fear of moving away from the perfect ideal image of the all powerful leader that it deeply craves to embody. So, be cautious of that coming up right now and remember that a true leader is authentic in who they are and not in an image they want others to see.

Capricorn And Duality

Since, I am a grey witch every single energy I work with I look for the duality in that energy and how I can connect to it. This includes the full moon and the energy of the zodiac sign it currently is in. First, the full moon itself is all about duality as it is another time of transformation, transition, and rebirth. During this time we are pushed into a liminal space that forces us to look at the things, people, and places that have been obstacles or holding us back. This can be a thing of beauty and hope as well as a thing of pain and darkness which forces us into duality. Second, the energy of Capricorn we see duality not only in it’s symbol the sea goat but, also in one of the main themes Capricorn represents; ambition. The sea goat like we talked about earlier is a mythical being that literally represents the duality of the material realm and the emotional or mythical realm. Others even believe the sea goat represents the duality of human existence through evolution, starting in the sea and than moving upwards onto land. Than there is the duality of ambition. While ambition is a very wanted thing. It is pivotal to our motivation, getting things done, and thriving in our life. But, on the other hand it also can cloud our mind, narrow our view/vision, damage our relationships, and lead to burn out by not caring for ourselves properly.

Full Buck Moon Release Blockage Ritual

Light a gold, white, and green candle on your altar. If you don’t have gold, yellow works. If you don’t have any colored candles, 3 white candles will do just fine! Think about the past 6 months of the year and think about where you started at. Get into sacred container, as you focus on each individual candle; think about where you are at now and how far you have come. And then think about where you want to be in the next 6 months. Now, think about all the things that are and are not working for you/working in your best interest. Think about and focus on the things that are working in your life becoming more abundant and focus on the things that are not working being removed and no longer there. Once you feel them being removed and no longer blocking you blow out the candles one at a time and go journal your action plan to remove unwanted things, people, or habits from your life to thrive and have an life of true abundance.

Full Moon Ritual Bath Purification Prayer

This bath will cleanse the body, mind, emotions, of anything unwanted and blocking your intentions, success, and desires. It will also remove stagnant energy and/or energy that is not yours, that may be causing you difficulties on a physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual level. For three consecutive nights (the day before, the day of, and the day after the full moon) create this bath to wash, cleanse and purify your body in.

While you are drawing your bath, and after you have created your sacred container by adding candles (preferably white) music or anything else you would like to add, bring this herbal mixture to a boil on the stovetop. Rue (or rosemary), white sage, Lavender, rose buds, pink salt, and basil. Once your mixture has turned into a tea on the stove top take it and head to your tub. As you pour the mixture in recite this purification prayer below.

“I release the unforgivable, and all the things that cause me deep seeded fear and hold me back. The things that hold me back from being my true self, accomplishing my goals, and having endless success. I release the emotional pain that I carry with me each and every day. Affecting my heart, my actions, and my reactions. I release and heal the wounds that prevent me from feeling love, worth, and anything but trauma and the sting of karma. I release these things not only from this life but all past lives, and dimensions. I release all blocks keeping me tied to karma and trauma. I release all resentments, and unwanted thoughts I keep on a loop in my mind towards myself and others. I release all beliefs sabotaging myself and not allowing me to connect authentically to my higher self. With the passing of this powerful, fertile, and grounded full moon my life is renewed. I am purified, cleansed, and whole. I am free from stagnation and pain. I am able love purely and unconditionally on this eve I am I am renewed.”

Get into your tub; cleanse and wash your body from head to toe as you visualize that cleansing energy go over every inch of your body. Soak in the tub for at least 15 minutes. If you do not have a tub: Pour the herbal water over your head and body in the shower and do your best to ensure that the water touches all parts of your body, including private parts. Do not rinse. It is best not to towel dry and instead let the body air dry as much as possible.
