This weekend, as the cosmic energy had aligned with Saturn’s steadfast power on Saturday, I found myself reflecting on the magic I’ve woven to protect my own child—especially poignant as we celebrated his 4th birthday. As witches, we work with unseen forces and divine beings, making the energetic protection of our children not just important, but essential. Children are our most precious seeds, their spirits tender and open, vulnerable to the chaotic energies that swirl around us—whether from the astral plane, the collective turmoil of a world facing political storms, or the psychic currents we navigate as magical beings. In a reality where we dance with spirits and energies, shielding them from harm—physical, emotional, or spiritual—becomes a sacred duty. Saturn, the planet of structure, boundaries, and enduring protection, offers a potent ally on its ruling day, Saturday. This energy fortifies our spells, creating a shield of resilience and safety for our little ones, grounding their bright spirits in a world that can feel so unsteady. Join me as we tap into this power to cast protective magic, honoring their innocence and our craft with a mother’s fierce love.
Why Protect Our Children Magically and Energetically?
As witches, we dance with energies and entities that others may not perceive—spirits, deities, and the unseen currents of the universe. Our children, born into this environment inherit a sensitivity to these forces—making them susceptible. Negative energies, psychic attacks, or even the weight of collective turmoil—like the political climate with policies such as Trump’s $5,000 baby bonus threatening women’s lives—can cling to their bright spirits, dimming their light. Protecting them energetically ensures their growth remains untainted, allowing their natural magic to flourish in a world that can be harsh. Physically, a magical shield can guard against accidents or harm, creating a subtle barrier that nudges danger away. Emotionally, it fosters confidence and peace, helping them feel safe to express their unique souls—like my son, who navigates sensory overload with such grace. Spiritually, it wards off entities or influences that might seek to disrupt their path, keeping their connection to the divine clear and strong. On this special birthday weekend, harnessing Saturn’s grounding energy feels like a gift of love, a magical embrace to guide my child—and yours—through life’s storms, ensuring they can grow into the powerful, kind beings they’re meant to be.
Saturn’s Protective Power on Saturday
Saturn, the taskmaster of the cosmos, governs discipline, structure, and enduring protection, its energy resonating like the deep hum of the earth itself. On Saturdays, its influence peaks, offering a perfect window to cast spells that build strong, unyielding boundaries. This planet’s power is like a fortress, steady and unshakable, ideal for safeguarding our children’s vulnerable souls against the chaos of the world—whether it’s the energetic residue of systemic injustice or the unseen threats that lurk in the astral realm. Saturn’s energy teaches us the magic of limits, helping us define sacred spaces where our little ones can thrive, free from harm. Combined with our intent as witches, Saturn’s power amplifies our magic, creating layers of defense that resonate with the earth’s deep stability, rooting our spells in a foundation that endures. This weekend, as we celebrated new beginnings—my son’s birthday a radiant spark in our lives —inspires us to channel this energy to weave protection into their lives, crafting a shield that holds steady through every storm.
6 Spells to Protect Our Children with Saturn’s Energy
Here are six spells to harness Saturn’s protective might, tailored for our children’s safety. Each spell draws on a specific type of magic, amplified by Saturn’s grounding energy, to create a layered shield of love and resilience. Gather your tools with reverence, and infuse each with your love and intent.
Protection Poppet from a Favorite Stuffed Animal
– Type of Magic: Sympathetic magic, which uses a physical representation (the poppet) to channel energy directly to the person it represents.
– Why It Works Well: Sympathetic magic creates a direct energetic link between the poppet and your child, making it a powerful vessel for protection. The stuffed animal, already imbued with their love and energy, becomes a personal talisman, amplifying the spell’s potency. Saturn’s grounding influence ensures the poppet acts as a stable anchor, absorbing and deflecting negative energies with its steady presence.
– How: Choose their favorite stuffed animal, one they cuddle with often, to deepen the energetic connection. Open a small seam and stuff it with protective herbs (e.g., rosemary for warding, black pepper for banishing) and a lock of their hair to bind the poppet to them. Sew it back with black thread, Saturn’s color of protection, chanting, “By Saturn’s might, protect [child’s name] day and night.”
Place a small obsidian stone inside for grounding, its dark energy resonating with Saturn to root the spell in stability. Keep it near their bed or in their arms, where its protective magic can work continuously.
2. Talisman of Protection with Sigils on Jewelry
– Type of Magic: Talismanic magic, which infuses an object with protective energy to be carried or worn for constant safeguarding.
– Why It Works Well: Talismanic magic creates a portable shield, ensuring your child is protected wherever they go. The sigil, a concentrated symbol of your intent, channels Saturn’s boundary-setting energy into the jewelry, creating a continuous barrier against harm. Saturn’s disciplined nature ensures the talisman remains charged with steady, enduring protection, making it a reliable guardian for your child’s energy.
– How: Select a piece of jewelry they love (e.g., a necklace or bracelet), something they’ll wear daily to keep the protection close. Carve or draw a protection sigil (e.g., a circle with a cross, symbolizing boundaries) using a consecrated marker or engraving tool. Anoint it with Saturn oil (made with myrrh for protection and patchouli for grounding), while saying, “Saturn, guard [child’s name] with strength unbound.”
Have them wear it daily, recharging it under the Saturday moon by placing it on a windowsill to soak in lunar and Saturnian energy, ensuring its protective power remains strong.
3. Anti-Nightmare and Dream World Attack Satchel
– Type of Magic: Dream magic, which focuses on protecting the dream realm and influencing the subconscious.
– Why It Works Well: Dream magic targets the astral plane, where children’s open spirits are most vulnerable during sleep. Nightmares and astral intrusions can disrupt their rest and energy, but this satchel creates a protective barrier in the dream world. Saturn’s stabilizing force anchors the satchel’s energy, ensuring it holds strong against chaotic dream entities, while its disciplined nature helps maintain a peaceful sleep environment.
– How: Fill a small black or purple bag—colors of protection and intuition—with amethyst for dream clarity, lavender for peace, and bay leaves for warding off evil. Tie it with a black ribbon, Saturn’s hue, chanting, “Saturn’s shield, banish the night, keep [child’s name] safe in dreamlight.”
Place it under their pillow or hang it above their bed, where its energy can envelop them as they sleep. Renew the herbs monthly on a Saturday, refreshing the spell under Saturn’s watchful gaze to keep the dream protection potent.
4. Saturn’s Boundary Salt Circle
– Type of Magic: Barrier magic, which creates physical and energetic boundaries to block harmful influences.
– Why It Works Well: Barrier magic uses the physical act of casting a circle to create a metaphysical shield, perfectly aligning with Saturn’s love of structure and limits. Salt is a traditional purifier, and when combined with charcoal, it absorbs negativity, creating a double-layered defense. Saturn’s energy strengthens the circle’s boundaries, making it an impenetrable fortress that ensures no harm can cross, providing a safe space for your child to grow and play.
– How: Mix sea salt with a pinch of powdered charcoal, enhancing its protective and absorbing qualities. On a Saturday, cast a circle around your child’s bed or play area, sprinkling the salt mixture while saying, “By Saturn’s will, no harm shall pass, [child’s name] is safe at last.”
Visualize a dark, protective dome rising from the salt, shimmering with Saturn’s steady energy. Sweep it away after a week, as the energy may become stagnant, and renew the circle as needed on future Saturdays to maintain its protective power.
5. Protective Candle Spell
– Type of Magic: Fire magic, which uses the transformative power of fire to channel intent and create a protective ward.
– Why It Works Well: Fire magic harnesses the element of fire to burn away negativity and focus your intent, making it a potent tool for protection. The candle acts as a beacon, radiating Saturn’s disciplined energy outward to form a protective ward around your child. Saturn’s influence ensures the flame’s energy remains steady and focused, creating a long-lasting shield that burns away harm while fostering a safe, warm environment for your child.
– How: Use a black or deep blue candle, colors that resonate with Saturn’s protective energy. Carve their initials and a protective rune (e.g., Algiz, for defense) into the wax, embedding your intent. Dress the candle with olive oil for consecration and a sprinkle of crushed sage for purification, then light it on a Saturday, saying, “Saturn, encircle [child’s name] with your might, guard them through day and night.”
Let it burn safely for an hour, visualizing a protective light surrounding them. Repeat weekly on Saturdays, each lighting reinforcing the ward’s strength. Do you want to ignite your passion of magic with candles more? Join The Mystic Mysteries to get access to my downloadable grimoire pages today!
6. Mirror Ward Spell
– Type of Magic: Reflective magic, which uses mirrors to deflect and return negative energy to its source.
– Why It Works Well: Reflective magic leverages the mirror’s ability to bounce back harmful energies, making it an effective tool for spiritual protection. Saturn’s energy strengthens this deflection, creating a powerful barrier that turns away psychic attacks or negative influences. The mirror acts as a sentinel, its reflective surface infused with Saturn’s disciplined power, ensuring that any harm directed at your child is sent back, leaving their spirit untouched and safe.
– How: Place a small mirror under their mattress or in their room, facing outward to reflect negativity away. Anoint its edges with Saturn oil (myrrh and patchouli), chanting, “Saturn’s gaze turns harm away, [child’s name] is safe each night and day.”
Visualize reflected light forming a shimmering shield around them, deflecting any harm. Recharge the mirror every Saturday by breathing onto its surface, your breath cleansing and renewing its protective energy under Saturn’s influence.
Reflection Prompts
After casting, journal your experience to deepen your connection to this magic:
– How did Saturn’s energy feel as you wove the spell? Did it feel like a steady hand guiding you?
– What emotions surfaced while protecting your child? Did you feel fear, love, or a fierce determination?
– Did you sense any shifts in their energy or your own after the spell? Perhaps a lightness in their laughter or a calm in your heart?
– How can you maintain this protective bond beyond this weekend? What daily rituals can you weave into your routine?
Final Thoughts
As we close this sacred work, I’m filled with gratitude for the protective magic we’ve woven together this weekend, under Saturn’s watchful gaze. Each spell, infused with love and intent, is a testament to the fierce, nurturing power of a witch’s heart—a power that blooms brightest when we shield our children. My son, turning 4 this past weekend, is my greatest teacher, his light guiding me to heal, to fight, and to create a world where he can thrive. These spells are more than rituals; they’re promises—to our children, to ourselves, and to the universe—that we will stand as guardians of their magic, their innocence, and their growth. Let’s carry this protective energy forward, weaving safety and love into every moment. May Saturn’s strength continue to fortify your path, my witchy kin, as we nurture the precious seeds in our care.

Revenge, karma, justice whatever word you use to dish it out , are all powerful tools that can help you reclaim your power when you have been wronged. They can help you restore balance in your life and maybe even the collective by invoking the universal energetic law of karma, which in a nutshell states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. While some may teach you that to take revenge on others or speed up the wheel of karma to get your own justice is wrong; I won’t ever tell you that. Because, the desire for revenge is a natural human emotion, trust me! We all feel it from time to time it can be a valid and justified thing for us even. It can be deeply rooted in feelings of anger, hurt, sadness, disgust, and betrayal. When we are wronged, we often feel powerless, helpless, and alone. It can cause us to feel depressed, disconnected from others, and like nothing we want in life will ever make it’s way to us. We can ruminate and become obsessive about the person who has wronged. Allowing it to narrow our vision leading us away from our destined purpose and path. Casting a revenge, karma, or justice spell can be a potent and powerful way to help with that. Nothing helps you feel more powerful then taking matters magical into your hands. During his unstable, unpredictable, and oppressive political place the country is in right now. Take your power back and pick up your swords of powerful resistance with these spells and the energy of revenge and justice.
Forget the threefold law
Before we kickstart some karma and hex our way into dishing up justice that is well deserved on a cold platter, we have to address the pesky threefold law. Whether you are new to the world of witchcraft or a seasoned practioner you most likely have heard of the threefold law. I am sure you have had some witch tell you to never hex or curse and only cast love and light spells because, everything you do will come back to you three times over. If this is part of your personal practice then this post isn’t for you. If you are willing to question and ask yourself why you agree with such an imbalanced law instead of looking at the simple balance of give and take? If you are willing to ask yourself how can we truly spread love and light and be able to heal others and the collective; if we don’t also know how to inflict pain, cause illness, and use our power to protect ourselves? If you are willing to question all of that with your magical workings and spells, then keep reading because this blogpost will be for you! I live in a magical world where balance is what I seek to maintain and each one of my spells is aimed to do just that. I don’t listen to a rule that gatekeeps what I do that is from a religion I don’t practice; Wicca. Instead I use my magic to create the reality I wish to shape and sometimes that means karma is what I wield to do that. So, toss the threefold law in the trash and let’s see what a little magical justice can do for you. Especially with this unstable, unpredictable, and oppressive political place the country is in right now. Take your power back and pick up your swords of powerful resistance with these spells and the energy of revenge and justice.
How do Justice or revenge spells work?
Revenge or justice spells work by harnessing the power of intention, energy, and the law of karma to create outcomes in another’s life. When you cast a revenge or justice spell, you are essentially directing your energy towards the person who hurt you, with the intention of causing them harm, illness, pain, or misfortune.
Justice spells for legal matters and court cases
Legal matters have been historically challenging for many individuals, often leaving them feeling helpless. This is why one of the most common ways you can use justice or revenge spells are to help you in those kind of matters. The concept of using spells for legal success and justice has roots that date back to ancient civilizations even especially with the Egyptians, Romans, and Greeks. Most of these spells and rituals are intended to protect the innocent and ensure fair judgments.
Justice spells and political activism
Another way we can use justice spells is when we need to mobilize and fight for the rights of those within our community and even for ourselves politically. Justice is something we can not only seek through the legal system but, also through political means. Honestly both of the two are intimately connected which is why the spells can translate to either. Especially now while we are in such turbulent political times on the verge of so much about to collapse. As we watch groups of people after people being targeted politically and rights disappearing by the swish of a pen. When we vote on politicians or choose to sit out of the political process ,we are adding our weight to the scales of justice whether or not we are aware. When we want to make a difference politically and are putting our boots on the ground with protests, door knocking, and calling our representatives. Why not add a boost with some magical justice adding fuel to your political activism and movement. I encourage you as an act of defiance to use any of these spells below in your politcal activism. Don’t waste your magic, don’t shrug your energetic responsibility to the collective. When we choose to tap into the essence of magic and learn how to manipulate reality with energy it is up to us to use it to shape our politcal reality. This political reality dictates the experience of soo many within the collective. The collective which it is our duty to protect and be the ones to enact justice when needed. Being a witch is political period and justice spells are some of the best to use for such matters.
Ways to cast revenge and justice spells
Each one of us will develop our own relationship with revenge and justice. We will sit with ourselves alone in silence and determine our ethics related to these kinds of spells. Then we will develop our own way to work with them as we listen to the clanging of chains as the scales of justice tip. Stepping in to get them back to a fair, just, and balanced place. Remember; it’s important to approach every single energy we worth with respect, reverence, and gratitude to build a relationship with it an use it to reshape reality. Follow your intuition and work with justice and revenge however you feel pulled to but, here are some ideas to get you started on ways to get magical retribution and justice in your life, for others, and in the collective.

When to cast revenge and justice spells
When it comes to casting spells I will always tell you it is up to you when you cast them. Sometimes you can’t sit here and wait for the right moon phase, the right day, or the right hour of the day. So, follow your intuition and cast them when you need too. But, if you want to add some boosted potency to them try and cast them during a libra moon phase or Libra season, on a Saturday, or during the twilight hours. Other then that what types of situations and circumstances would a justice or revenge spell be able to give a much needed kick of magic to your acts of retribution to tips the scales of justice in your favor. Below are some but, not all of the circumstances you could pick up your magical energetic sword of justice for. Always remember to follow your intuition.
Someone has been bullying your, your family, or your children
before you head out to attend a protest for a cause near and dear to your heart
You have a court case you will be going to court for soon
You need to sue someone who owes you money
When someone is restricting or oppressing your free will or the will of others
When you may not know where the harm is coming from
Before you are about to be around someone who means you harm or will be confrontational
Using them to help make a difference in court cases that affect the country politically
use them to completely remove legal troubles you have in your life
Bring someone to justice who has wronged you in the past
You can use them to get justice for others who can’t get justice for themselves
restore fairness and balance
Use them to reveal truth and corruption
getting revenge for a toxic relationship or a bad break up
Stopping the scales of justice from tipping in someone’s favor who doesn’t deserve it
Using them to speed up the wheel of karma for someone who has harmed you with physical, verbal, or sexual attacks
reveal to another person who is unware of their harm they have caused you and allow them to see themselves with clarity
Use them to gain freedom
use them as a means to protect yourself from further harm by making others think twice about attacking you
use them towards someone who was abusive towards you in life
Use them to remove unwanted, negative, or harmful energy from your life
get back something that was stolen from you
Ethics before you cast
If you are going to dish out some well earned justice or speed up the flow of karma in someone’s life you have to first take the time to think about the ethics of the spell you are about to cast. I know it may seem boring but, this is a step to not overlook. When you are casting a spell for revenge or justice you need to be doing so from a place that isn’t conflicted, that is set in it’s intention, and isn’t anchored in an unjustified emotion. It is important; I feel that revenge or justice spells should not be the first spell you cast and your first line of defense. But instead should be spells saved for those you really need them for. It is important to ask yourself if there is another way to resolve the situation first. That means looking at both magical and mundane solutions as well. These kind of spells take up a lot of energy and sometimes even leave me energetically depleted for days. So, it’s not only ethically important to think about these things before you use them but, energetically as well. If you have tried everything else and you are still feeling desperate for revenge and in need of justice, then one of these spells may be the right option for you.
How to prepare for unintended consequences
When it comes to casting spells to get revenge, retribution, or justice we not only need to think about the ethics. Make sure that we have tried other means to solve our issues and get justice. But, we also need to prepare for unintended consequences. What does this mean? This means we need to stop and take a moment, take a breath and think about what could potentially be the opposite reaction to the spell we are about to cast. Because, that opposite action could potentially come back on us. Especially if we are not set in our intention or sending out justice that was not indeed earned. When you are taking justice into your own hands and deciding to speed up the wheel of karma you need to be willing to have what you are doing to others come right back to you. You never know what protections others have up, or if you have justice you have earned coming back yo you as well. So, make sure to take the time and decide if consequences that could result from your justice will be worth it in the end if they happen to you.
Jar of Justice for court spell jar
I can’t do a post about spells without breaking out a spell jar! They are versatile after all and we have the ability to make them for whatever intention we need them for. So, if you have a court case coming up that is really important to you and you are unsure if the scales of justice will weigh out in your favor, this spell jar is for you. This multipurpose justice spell is designed to bring fairness and truth to light during legal proceedings. Fill a jar with items like bay leaves for protection, black mustard seeds for confusion to the opposition, and a written petition stating your case. Once you have created and sealed the jar come back to it and charge it every day until your case is over. Then dispose of away from your home to make sure no appeal can be won and your decision be reversed.
Sweeten the opposition court case honey jar
Next up, this spell takes it’s inspiration from hoo doo honey jars. You often see them in love spells. I have even written about them in that capacity . But, why not use a honey jar to sweeten up the judge, jury, and opposition toward you in legal matters. to ensure you win your court cases. Make sure with this one to take the time and research hoo doo and honey jars. Some consider hoo doo a closed practice and therefore won’t work with them in their own practices. That is up for you to decide though not me. Sweetening spells like this one aim to soften the opposition and attract positive verdicts. How to do this spell, write your grievances or case details on parchment and submerge it in honey along with herbs like licorice root. Leave it until your court case is over and you have won.
Binding Justice spell
This spell is one that is really simple to do as long as you have something that can represent and connect you energetically to the person you need to get justice against. I love binding spells because they are really potent and restrict their ability to harm you further even from things you have yet to think of they could inflict upon you. To cast this spell make sure that you get into a grounded state while you visualize the person or entity being bound in place and no longer able to harm you and justice being served against them finally. Then grab your chord ( I like to use twine ) and your representation of the unjust party like a poppet you made, a court document, or an image of them. Then wrap the chord around the representation as tightly as you can. Use the entire chord and when you get to the end use a knot to tie it off and bind the unjust party.
Return to sender justice spell
At the heart of a justice spell we are looking for protection from injustice often through invoking karma. Sometimes that may even mean that we don’t know where exactly that injustice, ill intent, and harm is coming from. It could be because we simply are unware of it or because there is so much of it overflowing in the collective now. You are getting targeted by some because of a group you belong to or a community you identify with. Return to sender spells are meant to be used when you are being targeted by magical forces and to then reflect ill intent, injustice, and misfortune back to them. For this spell all you will need is a big clove of garlic, a pen, a zip lock bag or spell bag, and some salt. Grab your clove and pen then draw an evil eye on one side of the garlic clove while focusing on the energy of justice. Take the clove and place it in your spell bag or zip lock. Fill the bag with salt until you can no longer see your engraved clove. Seal the bag shut as you visualize all of the injustice leaving your life. Take this bag or spell pouch and place it under your bed for 7 days aka one week. After the 7 days remove it and throw it away somewhere not on your property in the trash. Watch as those around you who have been wishing you ill, harm, and injustice physically begin to become ill around you.
A bite of karmic justice spell
This next one has a return to sender kind of vibe to it but, using the stinging sour bite of lemon to help you get some justice in your life. I love working with lemons in baneful or protective spells and most justice or revenge spells are both of those. Adding the purifying and protective power of lemons to a justice spell gives it a cleansing boost with some much needed clarity. Plus I love the sour bite it adds to each of my justice spells. Usually resulting in some interesting things I hadn’t seen coming but, were well deserved.
What you will need:
A lemon
a knife
a black candle
some twine
8 cloves
How to perform spell:
Before you cast this spell make sure to cleanse all your tools especially your lemon of all unwanted energies. Light your black candle to symbolize protection. Grab your lemon and hold it in your hand as you visualize what justice means to you. When you have that image set in your mind take a deep breath and breathe out that vision of justice into your lemon. Grab your knife and cut the lemon in half. Take your 8 cloves and stick 4 of them into each of the lemon halves. Now take a moment and focus on that justice again and what it looks and feels like to you. Look into the candle light as you hold your two lemon halves and recite ” Justice is here, I am no longer fighting alone. All of the pain you have ever caused me is now your own.” repeat this 4 times. Once done put the two lemon halves back together and take the twine and wrap the lemon in binding. Let your black candle of protection burn out until it goes out on its own. Once it goes out take your lemon and throw it away outside your home.
Burning justice Candle spell
The last spell I am bringing to you in this post about revenge, retribution, and justice spells is combining the power of protection in the flame of the candle and the destruction of releasing the injustice in the flames. The purpose of this spell is to help you see the truth, get justice from those who have already harmed you, and protect you from future possible harm. So, grab some candles and a pen/paper and let’s get some justice with the burning power of fire.
What you need:
Rosemary
a white candle
a black candle
a blue candle
oil
A piece of paper and pen
How to cast:
Begin by cleansing your workspace with rosemary. Burn it or sprinkle it around your ritual area to clear any unwanted energy. Next, it’s time to prep your candles. Do this by; Carving the word “Justice” into the white candle. Carving “Truth” into the blue candle. Carving “Protection” into the black candle. Then anoint the candles with oil and sprinkle dried rosemary on them to imbue them with your intentions. On the piece of paper, write a clear and concise statement of your desire for justice. Be specific. Focus on revealing the truth and ensuring fairness. Next, it’s time to light your candles.
Light the black candle first, saying: “By the flame of protection, may those who seek to deceive be revealed.” Light the white candle, saying: “By the flame of justice, may fairness and balance be restored.” Light the blue candle, saying: “By the flame of truth, may clarity shine and lies be banished.”
Close your eyes and visualize the scales of justice being balanced and the truth of corruption being uncovered. See the person responsible being held accountable, whether through legal channels, public acknowledgment, or karmic forces. Feel the energy of justice and truth surrounding you in a shield of protection. Send out your intention clearly and with conviction. Take your pen and write it all down onto your piece of paper. Don’t forget to write down what the injustices are they have caused you, your community, your loved ones, or this country. When you feel centered in this conviction of justice and grounded in the injustices they need to pay for. Recite this spell out loud as you burn your paper in the flame of the black candle. “May what is hidden be revealed. May balance be restored. And may those who seek to avoid justice be brought to their knees. No longer able to avoid the harm they cause the greater good and community.” Allow the candles to burn out naturally (or, if you must extinguish them, do so by snuffing them out, not blowing). Take your candles and place them on your altar or freeze them. Come back and relight them if the person is in need of more justice to be served to them or new actions need to be revealed.
Final thoughts
Revenge or justice spells can be a powerful tool for reclaiming your power and balancing the collective scales of justice when you have been wronged. However, it is important to use them responsibly and to be aware of the risks and potential unintended consequences that could come your way. If you are seeking justice and yearning for karma to take its course revenge and justice spells are the way to go. In a world where fairness often feels elusive, the need for justice and truth becomes ever more pressing. Whether you’re seeking to uncover hidden truths, protect yourself from deception, or restore balance in a challenging situation, these powerful justice spells can help.

Spell jars! I love spell jars! They are some of my favorite types of spells to create and cast especially when I don’t have time to sit down and create a spell for the specific situation. Spell jars are versatile not only in the intention you can put behind them but, also in the ingredients you can put inside of them. Over the last year I have created soo many spell jars for all of you I have decided to take some of my favorite ones and put them together in a guide for you to use in one week to evolve your life in many different ways and areas.
First what is a spell jar?
Spell Jars are quite a piece of art if you ask me. It is an artistic magical bottle, made by a practicing witch and charged for a specific purpose. Spell jars are a form of ‘container magic,’ where the jar acts as a vessel to hold and amplify the energy of the ingredients. They are often kept in a sacred space or carried around for ongoing magical support. Spell jars can have numerous purposes: protective, attracting, banishing, and cursing. Depending on the ingredients, spell/intent and ritual, the jar can amplify your artistic and magical powers and skills. It can transform unwanted energy into wanted. Finally, they can be done to improve your financial or career situation and strengthen your health. To unseal more knowledge about spell jars; like the history, how to use them, and how to create them the most affective way grab my eBook all about it here!

Saturday is ruled by the planet Saturn which makes a great day to do any spells associated with boundaries and protection! One type of spell you can do is a freezer spell. The freezer spell for enemies serves as a means of protection. Furthermore, a self-defense against individuals who may wish harm or ill-will upon you. Whether dealing with a personal rival, a workplace adversary, or even a malevolent force, this spell jar can help create a barrier between you and the unwanted they represent and bring into your life. By literally “putting them on ice,” you regain a sense of control and agency over your circumstances.
How to perform: Get into sacred space. On a 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. Happy Casting!
Ps. If you need to learn more about how to cast a freezer spell jar in general I do go over it more in depth in this blogpost.

Have you been having an issue with someone in your life causing you harm or pain? Do they not even seem to see the pain they cause you and how it affects you every single day? Why not take matters into your own hand and a hold mirror up to their face and make them see the error of their ways? The let them see spell I created below will do just that! It combines the energy of mirror magic and its reflective properties to simply let them see themselves plus it helps speed up their own karma coming their way. I recommend casting this on Saturday to grab on to the karmic energy of Saturn who rules the energy of that day.
What is Karma?
Before we get into the spell I want you to understand the components of the spell and energies you are working with. First up what is Karma? Karma is the Sanskrit word for action. Karma is a belief that a person’s actions have consequences, which may return to them in this life or in the future. It’s a concept that’s central to many religions, including Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism It is equivalent to Newton’s law of “˜every action must have a reaction’. When we think, speak or act we initiate a force that will react accordingly. This returning force maybe modified, changed or suspended, but most people will not be able destroy it or break free from it. This law of cause and effect is not punishment, but is wholly for the sake of education or learning. For the sake of our growth through experience on our path to awakening in enlightenment.
Laws of Karma
The Great Law- “As you sow, so shall you reap.” The Law of Creation- Life doesn’t just happen. It requires our participation. The Law of Humility- You can’t change something if you refuse to accept it. The Law of Growth- “Wherever you go, there you are.” The Law of Responsibility- Whenever there is something wrong in my life, there is something wrong in me. The Law of Connection- Even if something we do seems inconsequential, it is very important that it gets done as everything in the Universe is connected. The Law of Focus- You cannot think of two things at the same time. The Law of Giving and Hospitality- If you believe something to be true, then sometime in your life you will be called upon to demonstrate that particular truth. The Law of Here and Now- Looking backward to examine what was or forward to worry about the future prevents us from being totally in the here and now. The Law of Change-History repeats itself until we learn the lessons that we need to change our path. The Law of Patience and Reward- All rewards require initial toil. The Law of Significance and Inspiration- You get back from something whatever you have put into it.
What is mirror magic and why work with mirrors?
Mirror Magic, an ancient practice intertwined with the essence of self-discovery and empowerment, serves as a gateway to understanding our innermost selves. Mirrors are powerful tools allowing you to step into the realms of magic and spirituality. Using them in mirror spells offers a profound opportunity to connect with one’s own essence and claim space in the world. Mirrors are both simple and complicated tools of magic. Through the ages, they have been used for scrying, searching for the truth, finding your personal unknown – and as portals. They have been also used in protection spells to reflect unwanted energy back to its sender. Which is the way we will be using mirrors in this spell. I love it because, it is not only a shield to alert you to attacks and unwarted energy attachments but, also as a proactive attack by sending the energy back to them.
Always consider the ethics before you hex
Since, we are talking about doing a bit of baneful magic by using a hex we have to talk about ethics a bit. You have some who practice and say to never do such a thing. To never curse or hex. Some who quote a threefold law from the wiccan RELIGION at you for why it is wrong. If that is you that is fine but, this hex spell isn’t for you. If this isn’t you and you understand that in order to heal we must also know how hex. If you have weighed the ethics, and potential unintended consequences and still feel it is the right thing to do. Then this hex spell is for you. Just I ask that you make sure to take the time and before any spell you cast but, especially the baneful ones you have considered all possible perceptions and possible consequences. You have done a pros and cons and made sure it’s something that is ethically aligned with you.
What you will need:
All you will need is a piece of paper, some tape, a pen, a black candle for protection, and a white candle for opening the eyes of the person doing you harm. For added potency you can carve protection sigils into each candle along with your name on the black candle and the person causing you harm on the white candle.
How to cast this spell: Take a piece of paper and write the name of the person causing you harm and a list of all the wrongs they have done to you and their effects. Then take the paper and tape it with the writing facing the mirror. Light a white and black candle in front of you. Then while holding the mirror, recite “ mirror, mirror, let them see all the wrong they have done me. Open their eyes and open their hearts to finally see the pain they have caused me clearly.”
Happy casting everyone! Let those who harm you no longer be able to hide from the pain and harm they have caused you. If you want to expand your magical knowledge more check out my guide below!

In this day and age it’s almost impossible to not have some kind of financial debt out there. So, why not use your magic to help alleviate some of that. This banish debt freezer spell jar I created a few years back is a great way to do that. The last time I used this spell, a few weeks later I got a letter in the mail telling me a lawsuit had been filed against the company that had won and my debt was included in that and it was now gone and forgiven.
I know most people use freezer jar spells on people but, that’s the beauty of magic we can adjust them to create something different. So, why not apply them to situations we want to freeze out of our lives as well like debt? Another thing to note is most use freezer spells to pause a situation and as temporary bindings. Meaning they don’t usually do freezer spells that are intended for extended periods of time. It’s typically used as a way to place a temporary boundary, giving you the time to address the issue without the immediate pressure or doing magic that could be permanent. But, remember magic and your freezer spell will follow the intention and energy YOU set and direct it with. Which is how I created this lovely gem!
What is a freezer jar spell?
Before we get into the spell and how to do it let’s make sue you understand the basics of a freezer jar spell. I love freezer jar spells because, they are an extremely effective form of magic and they work very quickly. Freezer spells are great for multiple intentions including bindings, to “pause” or put a situation on hold, to bring peace or even freeze a person in their tracks. A freezer spell is exactly what it sounds like it is. It is a spell that utilizes the freezer in your home to freeze your intended target or situation in a vessel.
Keep in mind some may tell you they are considered a closed practice. I obviously don’t agree with this since they are part of my practice. I don’t see why if I have access to a freezer or a way to freeze things like the below freezing weather Minnesota is in now, I can’t use it. It is going to be up to you to decide how you feel about it. Keep in mind there are some freezer spells that utilize techniques from the Hoodoo folk magic tradition including sour and sweetening jars. If you want to stay away from maybe appropriating, simply leave those ingredients and methods out of your personal freezer magic and spells.
There are so many different intentions you can do for freezer spell jars too!
My most commonly used one is to bind a person in place and remove them from my life. It’s another layer to add when you are chord cutting. I really like to use these on narcists and toxic relationships.
Pause or slow down a situation to get more time to think
Remove a harmful situation from your life
A means to get justice for yourself
preserve love and friendship
To preserve a job opportunity or salary
To stop time from moving too fast
Preserve one’s health
promotes stillness and mindfulness
Promote Self Control and discipline
Remove a bad habit or addiction from your life
Cooling a “hot” situation off
Create one as an offering to be placed on an altar for a winter goddess like Cailleach
The ethical debate of freezer jar spells
Just like with every other baneful type of magic before you cast this one you have to sit with the ethics and morals of them. Some people will say to not work with freezer spells because of the binding factor to them. Some consider them to be taking the free will away from others. Some just think its wrong and not something you should do like cut someone out of your life. Others like myself, have no problem with them. We understand that our magic is perfectly fine to be used to protect ourselves. Especially if we’ve done everything we can in the physical realm, but still feel threatened, we have the magical realm to help us. So, just sit with it and decide for you what you think and how you feel about them. I won’t tell you one or or the other. It s up to you.
So, what will you need?
A jar or bottle that can be frozen
rice
lemon slices
cayenne pepper
3 coins
salt
Water
A paper with the written amount of debt on it and/or the debt collectors name
How to perform this spell
I recommend casting this spell today (Thursday) since it is Jupiter’s day and tied to money matters or on Saturday which is ruled by the planet of boundaries Saturn.
As always once you gather your ingredients and cleanse them get yourself into sacred container however you like to do so.
Once you are there focus on the energy of money, the amount of debt you are in, and the affects it has been having on your life.
Then take your ingredients representing that money and debt and place it into the jar; this would be your rice, cinnamon powder, and 3 coins.
Next, take a deep breath and now focusing on visualizing that debt being frozen in your life. What that would like and feel like. The affects it would have.
Once that image is set in your mind’s eye, take your ingredients used to bind, banish, and protect and add them to the jar. This would be your lemon slices, salt, and cayenne pepper.
With all your ingredients now inside your jar, take the piece of paper with the debt amount and/or the debt collectors name on it and hold it your hands while you say;
” This slip of paper is the (amount of debt) owed to (name of collector) may this spell freeze it from affecting my life in an unwanted way from this day on. As I will it so mote it be.”
Then fill the jar to the top with water, seal the lid, and place it in freezer.
Watch as the debt is frozen from your life.
For some added potency if the amount is quite large consider adding binding sigils to your jar or burning a black candle as you create this freezer spell jar.

As much as we want life to be easy, with no bumps in the road and we are only around pleasant human beings. We all know that simply just isn’t reality. Sometimes in life we have no choice but, to get out our swords and fight back with a bit of baneful magic against those who have been causing us pain and harm. This could be anyone from a coworker who has been toxic as hell in the workplace you wish you could slap in the face but, can’t. To the family member who has been insulting you, tearing you down, or making fun of your way of life. To the friend who gaslights you and makes you feel small.
I find one of the best ways to get back at someone and protect myself is to just let their own wicked actions, nasty bullshit energy, and unrelenting karma bounce back to them and do its work. One of the many ways we can use our own energy and magic to speed this up and amplify it a bit is by using own of my favorite magical tools a mirror to cast a karma mirror spell.
A karma mirror spell is a spell that uses a mirror to reflect back to a person what they have done to others. The idea is that karma works like a mirror, returning what a person has put out into the world. Which means when we combine the two we create a very potent portal to both amplify and accelerate someone’s karma.
What is Karma?
Karma is the Sanskrit word for action. Karma is a belief that a person’s actions have consequences, which may return to them in this life or in the future. It’s a concept that’s central to many religions, including Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism It is equivalent to Newton’s law of “˜every action must have a reaction’. When we think, speak or act we initiate a force that will react accordingly. This returning force maybe modified, changed or suspended, but most people will not be able destroy it or break free from it. This law of cause and effect is not punishment, but is wholly for the sake of education or learning. For the sake of our growth through experience on our path to awakening in enlightenment.
Laws of Karma
The Great Law- “As you sow, so shall you reap.”
The Law of Creation- Life doesn’t just happen. It requires our participation.

The Law of Focus- You cannot think of two things at the same time.
The Law of Giving and Hospitality- If you believe something to be true, then sometime in your life you will be called upon to demonstrate that particular truth.
The Law of Here and Now- Looking backward to examine what was or forward to worry about the future prevents us from being totally in the here and now.
The Law of Change-History repeats itself until we learn the lessons that we need to change our path.
The Law of Patience and Reward- All rewards require initial toil.
The Law of Significance and Inspiration- You get back from something whatever you have put into it.
What is mirror magic and why work with mirrors?
Mirror Magic, an ancient practice intertwined with the essence of self-discovery and empowerment, serves as a gateway to understanding our innermost selves. Mirrors are powerful tools allowing you to step into the realms of magic and spirituality. Using them in mirror spells offers a profound opportunity to connect with one’s own essence and claim space in the world. Mirrors are both simple and complicated tools of magic. Through the ages, they have been used for scrying, searching for the truth, finding your personal unknown – and as portals. They have been also used in protection spells to reflect unwanted energy back to its sender. Which is the way we will be using mirrors in this spell. I love it because, it is not only a shield to alert you to attacks and unwarted energy attachments but, also as a proactive attack by sending the energy back to them.
Always consider the ethics before you hex
Since, we are talking about doing a bit of baneful magic by using a hex we have to talk about ethics a bit. You have some who practice and say to never do such a thing. To never curse or hex. Some who quote a threefold law from the wiccan RELIGION at you for why it is wrong. If that is you that is fine but, this hex spell isn’t for you. If this isn’t you and you understand that in order to heal we must also know how hex. If you have weighed the ethics, and potential unintended consequences and still feel it is the right thing to do. Then this hex spell is for you. Just I ask that you make sure to take the time and before any spell you cast but, especially the baneful ones you have considered all possible perceptions and possible consequences. You have done a pros and cons and made sure it’s something that is ethically aligned with you.

Snakes aka Serpents are beautiful creatures, that face the world in defiance of those who fear them. Slithering their way into our lives with transmutation, magic, and allure. Snakes tap into the deepest parts of us, the things we fear yet cannot look away from. Carl Jung even suggested that snakes are archetypal symbols representing the wild and mysterious parts of your psyche. They can surface in your dreams as messengers from the collective unconscious, linking you to the shared human experience and evoking primordial emotions or instincts. But, don’t forget when it comes to snake symbolism, there are various different interpretations. In some cultures, snakes or serpents are seen as helpful creatures that can guide us on our journey through life. In others, they’re considered to be malevolent, dangerous, and in some cases the source of all evil. The snake’s ability to move between underground and aboveground worlds has led to beliefs that it is a creature that can navigate between the physical and spiritual realms. Come with me on a journey through the realms, history, and time as we slither with the snake in this blogpost to shed our skins together by the end of it.
What are snakes?
Before, we really slither into the depths of what Snakes can symbolize and mean let’s first talk about what they even really are. Snakes are cold-blooded reptiles with elongated bodies, no limbs, and overlapping scales. As reptiles, they’re cold blooded and must regulate their body temperature externally. Snakes are predators and eat a wide variety of animals, including rodents, insects, birds’ eggs and even live young birds. They can be found in many different habitats, including forests, deserts, grasslands, swamps, and oceans. Which means they are found across the world.
Fun facts about snakes
Snakes have no eyelids, so they cannot blink.
Snakes come in many sizes and can range from 10 cm to over 10 meters in length.
A snake has a set of hollow fangs at the front end of its upper jaw for delivering venom into their prey.
The scales covering a snake’s body help them move smoothly over rough surfaces and through water without much resistance or friction
Snakes will shed their skin several times per year throughout their life once they reach adulthood.
Venomous snakes use venom to kill prey or defend themselves against predators, while non-venomous snakes depend only on constriction to catch food or protect themselves.
There are more than 3,400 species of snakes found on every continent except Antarctica.
All snakes are carnivores, eating small animals such as insects, birds, eggs, or other reptiles like lizards and turtles.
The color patterning on a snake’s skin is related to camouflage so that it can blend with its environment
Most snakes lay eggs, while there are some species that give birth to live young, which hatch out of the egg inside the mother’s body.
The Year of the Snake
The 2025 Chinese new year celebrated alongside the lunar new year that falls on January 29th is the reason I am writing this post. The Chinese new year marking the end of winter and the beginning of the spring season, celebrates looking to the future for new beginnings with themes of happiness, health family, and good fortune. This Chinese new year marks the arrival of the Wood Snake, a rare and meaningful combination that appears only once every 60 years. This year of the Snake signifies introspection, subtle power, and transformative growth. It embodies a quiet yet potent and sometimes lethal energy capable of illuminating hidden paths and fostering deep emotional and spiritual understanding. Its strategic, resourceful nature makes it an excellent year for long-term growth. To learn more about the Chinese new year and how to work with the snake during this celebration you can read my guide here.
The power of transformation through shedding skins
The constant shedding and regrowth of the snake’s skin naturally represents transformative states and experience. There’s a sense of profound respect for the snake’s ability to shed its old skin and begin anew, which often translates into new beginnings for you in the waking world. They advocate for the letting go of outdated beliefs to acquire deeper understanding. Just as a snake sheds its skin, you’re encouraged to shed parts of your identity that no longer serve you, making room for an identity shift that aligns with who you’re becoming. This process isn’t merely about changing habits or altering your external situation; it’s a profound transformation that starts from within. It asks you to look deep into your core, question long-held beliefs, and courageously let go of the old to embrace the new. This isn’t easy. Just as a snake exposes itself to vulnerability during its shedding process, you too might feel exposed or uncertain as you navigate your path of renewal. Yet, this is where your greatest growth occurs. Each layer you shed reveals a stronger, more authentic version of yourself.
The venomous strike of protection
Snakes serve as guardians, protecting sacred spaces, yet also represent temptation, challenging your moral compass. They’re not just creatures slithering on the ground with a venomous bite; they’re powerful symbols of safeguarding what’s precious and standing firm against adversity. Some snakes, like cobras and rattlesnakes, will defend their territory when threatened by attacking with a single lethal strike. Reminding us that it’s okay for us to strike back against those who wrong us and protect what is ours when we wait to strike with precision.
The healing medicine of snakes
Throughout history, snakes haven’t only been revered as symbols of transformation but, also as powerful emblems of healing and medicine, offering profound insights into physical and spiritual wellness. Our spinal cord is said to be the physical manifestation of our Kundalini energy even, wrapping around us like a snake. When we awaken this energy, we align and heal ourselves. Not only are they symbols of healing they even physically contribute to our medicine with their venom contributing to both ancient medicinal practices and to many of our modern medicines. Further more we see the snake and its tie to medicine in myth as well. The Rod of Asclepius (aka The Staff of Asclepius) is a snake-entwined rod, said to be wielded by Asclepius, the Greek god associated with healing and medicine.
The snake and the divine feminine
Their phallic shape and dynamic movement have long been associated with sexual energy and potency, which are fundamental aspects of fertility. The smooth, ethereal movements of the snake evoke the image of ancient dance rituals and feminine movement. They remind us that embracing your sexual nature can be a powerful source of creative energy. The snake also represents Kundalini energy, the sexual, powerful, and demonstrative of the sacred feminine consciousness. The snake is one of the most primordial symbols of feminine strength, mirroring the profound essence of life itself.
Snakes in myths and lore
Throughout history, you’ll find that snakes have slithered their way through various religious texts and mythological stories. In many cultures, the snake is seen as a powerful animal that can take on different forms and meanings. The symbolism of the snake is multifaceted. It can personify both masculine (like when they are Satan) and feminine energy, life and death, destruction and resurrection. Snakes represent light and darkness, good and evil, wisdom and blind passion, cure and poison, guardian and destroyer, spiritual and physical rebirth. Let’s talk about some of the myths and lore about snakes and serpents below.
ouroboros
First up, what I would say is the most commonly found symbol of the snake across cultures. The image of a snake eating its tail, called the ouroboros, appears in many different cultures from ancient Greek, ancient Egypt, and even the Norse. Where a mythological creature, named Jörmungandr, symbolizing this symbol plays a crucial role in ragnorak as one of Loki’s children. These different ancient peoples considered the snake a perfect representation of the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth. It symbolizes the intrinsic integration of everything in the universe and the infinite cycles of destruction and recreation. This endless symbol whispers tales of continuous renewal and the infinite nature of the universe’s cycle.
Typhon
Next up, Typhon was a monstrous giant snake-like creature of ancient Greek mythology who fathered many monsters with his mate Echidna. He is often depicted as a massive, serpent-like being with multiple heads. Typhon is described by Hesiod as a fearful beast with strong hands and feet and 100 fiery snakeheads, each bellowing in the language of a different sort of beast. Other descriptions give him snakelike coils instead of feet and some say he was winged. In Greek mythology, Typhon was the offspring of Gaia (the Earth) and Tartarus (the underworld), making him one hell of a formidable opponent. He and his mate Echidna are named the parents of many monsters including Cerberus, Orthrus, the Lernaean Hydra, Chimera, the Caucasian Eagle, Ladon, the Sphinx, the Nemean Lion, the Crommyonian Sow, the Colchian Dragon, Scylla, Gorgon, the Harpies, and various sea serpents. In the most popularly known myth about him. Typhon challenged Zeus’s rule and Zeus defeated him with thunderbolts, burning his many heads and casting him down into Tartarus, scorching and melting huge areas of the Earth in the process. The exact spot this happened is said to have buried him directly beneath Mount Etna, explaining the volcanic activity in the area.
Hydra
Next up is a creature you’ve seen before if you have seen Disney’s Hercules. In Greek mythology, the Hydra is a monstrous, serpent-like creature with multiple heads, most commonly depicted with nine. It was an offspring of Typhon and Echidna bred by Hera to kill Hercules. Hydra lived in the swamps of Lerna, near Argos; its most defining feature is that for every head cut off, two new ones would grow back, making it nearly impossible to kill, and one of its heads was considered immortal; the hero Hercules was tasked with slaying the Hydra as one of his twelve labors, where he managed to defeat it by having his nephew cauterize the wounds as he cut off the heads, allowing him to eventually sever the immortal head and bury it under a rock.
The serpent in the garden of Eden
Of course Christianity has it’s own representation of the snake and serpent as well. In most versions of the Bible, snakes are often associated with evil and temptation. In the book of Genesis, a serpent tempts Eve to eat from the forbidden fruit of knowledge. This fruit was from the one tree in the garden God had forbade her to eat from. The serpent tells her that “when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” She grabs the fruit and eats it, then she knows all that God knows. This entire decision leads to Adam and Eve’s expulsion from the garden of Eden forever. Depending on how you view this story and which version of the bible you read, this is why the snake is seen as evil because, they were the one who caused humans to be expelled from paradise and removed from God. Some even believe the snake was Satan himself. Now, if you look at this story from a gnostic view and from older version of the story, the serpent liberated Eve by giving her freedom to make her own choice. To stay in the garden protected by god but, ignorant of knowledge. Or to take that bite, gain knowledge and leave the only place she had known. Never to see it again. The Snake is also seen again in Jesus’ story of salvation, where it represents Satan tempting Jesus in the wilderness. In Christianity, there is a widespread belief that the snake symbolizes evil, sin, and temptation.
Kundalini
Have you heard of Kundalini energy before? Well that energy is a snake as well. Kundalini in tantric tradition is represented by the serpent. Kundalini energy is even called “serpentine power”, it is a symbol of inner strength, psychic energy, it represents our infinite potential of being. Kundalini is said to be one of the most powerful, primal energy that represents the unmanifested potential within us. Kundalini is the feminine, creative, evolutionary force of infinite wisdom that lives inside every single one of us. In most depictions it is represented as a snake coiled three and a half times around, where in most of us it lies dormant at the base of the spine. I say most of us because that energy remains dormant at the base of the spine, until it is awakened. Kundalini lives in the energetic body, along with the chakras and the nadis. If you want to learn more about your energetic body and how to work with Kundalini energy you can read my guide here. OR head to the shop and book me for a womb healing session.
Lares
The Romans believed in household guardian spirits they called Lares. Lares were often illustrated in snake-form. They not only protected homes, they protected the barriers between the physical and spiritual worlds. They were believed to influence people and events. The Lares may have evolved from the practice of burying family members inside the home even.
Nāgas The Nagas is a race of large serpentine creatures that can often be found in the mythologies of Hinduism and Buddhism. They are described as powerful, splendid, wonderful and proud semi divine creatures. Nagas are potentially dangerous but more often then not are beneficial to humans. Perhaps the most famous naga in the Hindu tradition is Shesha, who is often portrayed along with Vishnu. The Hindhu god Brahma was said to have banished the naga to their underground kingdom when they became too populous on Earth. Their domain is in the enchanted underworld called Naga-loka filled with gems, gold and other treasures.
In Buddhism, nagas were often depicted as protectors of Siddhārtha Gautama, the Buddha, and the dharma (Buddhist teachings). Of the many naga mentioned in the Buddhist scriptures, one particularly famous one was Mucalinda, a naga king who spread his great cobra hood to shelter the Buddha from a storm that arrived while the prophet was deep in meditation.
Other beliefs about snakes
In the Jewish faith, snakes have traditionally been seen as a symbol of evil and destruction. In the Torah, God sends a plague of serpents to punish the Israelites for their disobedience. The meaning of snakes in Judaism has also been associated with healing. According to Jewish tradition, when Moses raised his staff, it became a snake, this represented a miraculous power of transformation, representing God’s gift of healing.
The druids believed serpents were primordial beings with an ancient knowledge and wisdom of the earth. They taught snakes visited the subterranean realms of the deities and ancestral spirits in the Otherworld during their winter hibernation. The return of snakes in the warmth of spring brought a blessed connection between mortals and the chthonic gods and goddesses. Serpents were the sacred creatures of the deities in the mortal realm.
Snakes differ in symbolism depending on the Native American tribe, where each tribe has its own set of beliefs. The Cherokee fear snakes but associate them with power, believing snakes should never be killed while steering clear of them. Similarly, Lakota Sioux and Blackfoot cultures tell of a serpent named Unhcegila, whose slime caused flesh to rot. But in Hopi culture, snakes symbolize the earth, where all living beings are connected to each other, as well as the planet. Snakes are also symbols of fertility and health in Pueblo and Ojibwa cultures, who also view snakes as healers.
Gods and Goddesses associated with snakes
Snakes not only have slithered their way into countless myths as animals and guides with humans. But, they are often found as symbols associated with many gods and goddesses and at times even companions that help aid the deity in many beneficial ways. Not only that some deities even appear as snake themselves. Let’s take a look at some but, certainly not all of the deities that can be associated with snakes or serpents. Don’t forget you can then use the snake as a correspondence d to work with these deities.
Medusa
First up, we have who I would argue is the most famous deity of them all associated with snakes outside of Satan. The legend of Medusa is well-known in Greek mythology. It tells of a beautiful woman transformed into a gorgon: who some would consider to be a hideous monster with venomous serpents for hair. She is feared by many, especially men. This is because, she is incredibly misunderstood. Due to the fact that most of her myth and story isn’t commonly told and her tragic beginning many have tried to have lost in the waters of time. The truth behind the myth of Medusa doesn’t start with Perseus. It doesn’t even start with Medusa being cursed by Athena. It starts long before that, with the god of the sea Poseidon.
Because of her story many pagans and witches, especially women chose to work with her as a goddess. She’s a powerful symbol of transformation. Transformation of anger and pain into passion and drive, accountability for oneself and growing from it. Seeing ourselves for who we truly are at our core, and approaching your obstacles and challenges with ferocity. Her name says it all; “Medusa” means “guardian, or protectress”. As a Gorgon, Medusa also represents a primordial force of chaos and destruction, embodying the untamed and unpredictable aspects of the natural world. Her petrifying gaze can be interpreted as a reminder of the inherent danger and potential for devastation that exists within the natural order. She uses it to protect others, especially women. And to show others their true nature; if they choose to take from another something they have no right to take. Let go of your fear about her and come with me to stare into the slithering snakes upon her head to learn the truth about her myth, how she is much more than a monster but, a goddess who was demonized, and how to work with her in my guide here.
Quetzalcoatl Among the most prominent deities in Mesoamerican cultures, there was Quetzalcoatl, or “Feathered Serpent,” who was a mix of bird and rattlesnake (coatl is the Nahuatl word for serpent). He is seen in both Mayan and Aztec culture as a deity of many things including rain, wind, wild animals, harvests, and creation. Not only that he is said to be the god responsible for bringing the people their knowledge of science, writing, creating books, and the creation of the calendar. Although he is the god of many things, Quetzalcoatl was sometimes portrayed as a trickster god, and while his plans did not always work as intended, they did consistently benefit humanity. Which may be why he was often referred to as the morning star. He represents creation, life, knowledge, and the dualities of existence.
Since, he plays such a crucial role in Mesoamerican history there are more myths about him then I could ever cover. In each one he plays a slightly different role and represent a slightly different aspect depending on the region of Mesoamerica you are in . Below are a few I picked to talk about this vital serpent god of Mesoamerica. First up the creation myth story of this cycle of humanity told by the Aztecs. Together, Quetzalcoatl and Xolotl created the current race of humans by descending into the underworld, Mictlan to gather the bones of the former race of humans, destroyed by disaster, and brought them to Cihuacoatl who ground them into flour. The brothers then moistened the flour with their own blood and fashioned the resulting dough into human shapes, gave them life and taught them how to care for and reproduce themselves. In one version of the creation story, he and another god, Tezcatlipoca, transformed themselves into snakes and ripped a giant sea monster named Cipactli in half; one part of her became the earth, the other the sky.
In another myth he is the reason the Aztec people have access to maize or corn which is why he is considred a god of agriculture. The story goes like this, the Aztec people initially only had access to roots and wild game for food staples. But, they knew of the existence of maize but, at that time, maize was located on the other side of a mountain range that surrounded the Aztec homeland. So, they had gone to the gods for help to bring it to them. Other gods had already attempted to retrieve the maize by moving the mountains in different ways, but their efforts had all been unsuccessful. Leaving the Aztecs still with no access to maize. One day Quetzalcoatl decides to give it try. Where others had approached this problem with their brute strength, Quetzalcoatl decided to take a different approach by relying on his keen mind. So, he decided to instead of go big and strong to go small. He turned himself into a black ant and followed the other ants in their ant trail over the mountains. After a long and difficult journey, Quetzalcoatl reached the maize. He grabs one single kernel and triumphantly brings it back to the Aztec people where it becomes a crucial part of their culture and expansion of their civilization.
Lilith
Next up, I am going to talk about probably one of the most famous goddesses outside of Medusa associated with snakes, Lilith. Her association with snake comes from her connection to Jewish folklore. I honestly could go on and on as to why she is associated to snakes through out many myths and associations with them. But I will limit myself to just a few reasons why. First, it is thought in some Jewish folklore that since she was the consort of Samael (satan) she played a crucial part in his role in the expulsion of Adam and Eve from the garden of Eden. Samael literally translates to venom of god so of course what image do they usually depict Samael as in this story? A serpent. So, because of her connection to him, this story, and having many children with him she is also often depicted with a snake as a symbol. In a guilty by association kind of way. But, she is associated to them for her own reasons as well. Just as a snake sheds its skin to regenerate, Lilith is seen as a figure who rejects societal constraints, particularly those placed on women, making the snake a fitting symbol for her rebellious spirit. Not only that her rebellion does allow her access to so much hidden knowledge she wouldn’t have gained access to if she had stayed in the garden as Adam’s first wife. Which is why she encourages us to always challenge and question authority to find the knowledge they hide.
Okay, so you know why she was associated with snakes but, who is she?
For 4,000 years Lilith has wandered the earth. Lilith is a “Dark” Goddess, she is one of incredible power, charisma, and persuasion. She is a mistress of the divine feminine and a true seductress. She is a Queen of Darkness and understands the powerful energies that sleep in the night and can bend them to her will. She hears the dark whispers of the forgotten night. The sleeping Dark mother who calls to the creatures of the nights and nurtures them in blankets of moonlight. She is Lilith, the Dark Mother and she is incredible to work with! She is a healer and a lover and one who can provide comfort and support to those in need. Her night energies provide rest and comfort and she can inspire those who work with her with dreams. She empowers those she works with. She can awaken our power and help us to claim who we are and our space and become the people we desire to be. She reminds us of our truth and the powerful individuals that we are. Lilith is not bad or evil. Lilith is the voice inside of you telling you to act when you feel you’ve been treated unfairly by the patriarchy. She is the voice that says it’s not only ok but good to enjoy sex and your sensuality. She is the voice calling for the divine feminine in each one of us to stand up and fight for our power.
Lilith invites us to explore the serpent energy and aspects of our being, to confront the fears and shame that may have kept us from fully expressing ourselves, and to integrate these wild, untamed parts into our conscious awareness. By embodying the untamed, Lilith also challenges societal norms and expectations, particularly those that seek to control or limit the expression of feminine power and sexuality. She reminds us that our desires, our sexuality, and our authentic self-expression are sacred and worthy of celebration, rather than something to be ashamed of or suppressed. She reminds us that if the patriarchy steps out of line its okay for us to strike back with our venomous and lethal bite. If you want to learn more about her and really go in depth into her history you can check out my guide here and purchase my eBook to work with her below!
In this ebook you will learn her detailed history, How to work with and honor her, and be provided with journal prompts, spells, prayers, and shadow work prompts to help you liberate all parts of yourself.
Asclepius was known in Greek and Roman mythology as the god of medicine and healing, whose powers extended not just to healing but, he was known to bring back the dead. Aesculapius is the son of the god Apollo and Coronis. In some stories, she’s a nymph but, in other stories they say she’s a mortal princess. Like many humans who tangle with the gods she meets a tragic ending by Apollo killing her in a fit of jealous rage. Then laying her body out on a funeral pyre with the aid of his twin sister Artemis. They cut open her belly and pulled his unborn child Asclepius out. Some myths say Artemis left with him and some say it was Apollo himself but, the newly born Asclepius was given to the wise healer and teacher Chiron to raise. Under Chiron’s care Asclepius learned so much about healing and medicine he absorbed the knowledge so well, he became more skilled than even his teacher. His exceptionally proficient skills in healing and medicine threatened the order of the cosmos, which lead to Zeus killing him with a lightning bolt. While he may have started as a demi god he grow in power and knowledge to claim his own spot among the Olympian pantheon as a god.
Since, Asclepius is THE Greek god of healing and snakes were seen as symbols of healing and medicine in Greece it makes sense that his main symbol would be a snake. You know that famous symbol you see at most hospitals and on ambulances with a rod and a snake twisting around it. That is his most famous symbol and healing staff. There are even a few myths and stories tying him to snakes as well. In one story he comes across a snake that is on the brink of death and he aids him with healing. As a thank you the snake whispers to him all of its secret medicinal knowledge. Especially how to use their venom in healing medicines and practices. Asclepius took that knowledge back to his temples where he used it in countless healing sessions for the people of Greece. It was even said that snakes roamed his temples freely always being welcome there to share their healing and wisdom.
Hygeia
Hygieia was very important in her role to protect the health of ancient Greeks, first in Athens, than the rest of the Greco-Roman world. In Greek mythology, Hygeia was the goddess of health, cleanliness, and sanitation. She was the daughter of Asclepius, the god of medicine (we just talked about above)), and Epione, the goddess of pain relief. While her father was associated with healing, her role was in the prevention of sickness and continuation of good health. Hygeia was originally associated with physical health only , but later became the patroness of mental health as well. She was a guardian of public welfare and encouraged people to maintain a healthy lifestyle in all areas. Since, she is a symbol of medicine and the daughter of the keeper of medicinal knowledge and power, Hygieia’s symbol is a either her simply holding a snake or a chalice with a snake twined around its stem. She is very intimately connected to the image and healing powers of snakes. They even were welcome and lovingly tended to by her inside of her temples just like her father.
The rainbow snake
Next up we have probably the oldest continuous religion with the influence of the snake I can find. Rock art featuring this great Ancestral being dates as far back as 6,000 years! The Rainbow Serpent (Serpant) is a deity in Australian Aboriginal lore that represents one of the great and powerful forces of nature and spirit. Connected to water, the Rainbow Serpent is the great life giver, a symbol of fertility and regeneration, and the protector of water. Which is where the rainbow Serpent lives. While the rainbow serpent is seen the creator god and protector of the people, the Rainbow Serpent can also be a destructive force if it is not properly respected. In times of anger or rage it causes storms and floods to act as punishment against those who disobey the laws. The story I found about this serpent goes like this. The story describes a time long ago when the Earth was flat. The serpent was one of the Dreamtime creatures (or creator gods) who held great powers and gave shape to the Earth. One day the serpent emerged from under the ground to awaken different groups of animals from the dreamtime. The movement of its body formed physical features like hills, gorges, creeks and rivers into the once-featureless terrain. It slithered all over the country, occupying waterholes and providing nourishing water. Once it grew tired with shaping the Earth, it coiled into a waterhole where it lays still to this day except when we see a rainbow. It is thought that a rainbow means the rainbow snake moved from one watering hole to another one to replenish the water as it lays coiled resting at the bottom.
Tiamat
The last deity I am going to bring up related to snakes isn’t really a snake but, a dragon. I am including her for a few reasons. The first being that many different cultures like those in Asia don’t see a difference between dragons and snakes at all. The second reason being, Tiamat is also a dragon who, if you believe the myths we are living inside of right now. How much more of a representation of rebirth, transformation, and fertility could she be? So, who is Tiamat. In Mesopotamian religion, Tiamat is a primordial goddess of the sea, mating with Abzû, the god of the groundwater, to produce younger gods. She is the symbol of the chaos of primordial creation. She is referred to as a woman and described as “the glistening one” As with all myths and especially those involving the divine feminine there are two parts to the Tiamat mythos. In the first half, she is a creator goddess, through a sacred marriage between different waters, peacefully creating the cosmos through their many generations of offspring born out of love. In the second half Tiamat is considered the monstrous embodiment of primordial chaos as a result of her own children’s actions. As with almost every pantheon her children and husband end up at war battling over power and her son wanting to take the throne. This war results in one of her own children killing her husband. In a response full of grief and betrayal at the hands of her children she let’s loss her rage on them by creating a legion of monsters to war against them for quite a long time. Until one day, her own son Marduk finally slays her and rips her body in half to create the realm we live on now. If you want to hear the full telling of her story and meet her check out my class with DiviNation Academy here.
A fundamental pillar of Paganism is working with the deities that one believes in. While all practicing Pagans have varying beliefs about the gods and goddesses, most agree that honoring their deities is a great way to connect with them and further their spiritual goals. But, again remember not every pagan works with deities. Also remember there are literally thousands of different deities out there in the multiverse and which ones you choose to honor will often depend significantly upon what pantheon your spiritual path follows. This eBook will walk you thru the different ways to view deities, what a deity can be, and the basics to start building a deep meaningful relationship with one.
Snakes are seen as symbols of protection, fertility, luck, resurrection, and eternity in many cultures and religions like we talked about a lot above so far. Their symbolism is often associated with rebirth, transformation, and power. In some cases, snakes can also be seen as symbols of death and destruction. In some cultures, snakes are also associated with mystery, a symbol of healing. In other stories, snakes can be seen as protectors, guardians, and mentors to humans. To others, a snake symbolizes wisdom and the knowledge of secrets. The snake can also represent evil or danger; often associated with deception and temptation, like in one of the most well known stories we talked about above with Adam and eve.

Duality of snakes
Since I am a grey witch every single energy I work with I look at how it can help me maintain balance and how it can represent the cosmic energy of duality. This energy was a really easy one for me to write about the duality of. This is because, in many cultures, snakes already symbolize duality. Like, wisdom and cunning OR creation and destruction OR healing and death Or chaos and order. I mean as a creature of chaos, the snake itself holds within itself the duality of life and death. They are seen as creatures of duality even for the environments they live in and their abilites to move from underground to above ground with ease and adaptability. Let’s not forget their roles in different stories across cultures putting them in places of duality as well. Like how some place them as protectors to guide the people and even heal like in Greece. Where in Christianity they are the destroyers and the ultimate symbol of evil. Lastly, when we look at the act of shedding their skin that is regeneration at its core. Regeneration is a dualistic act itself. It means something is dying to make room for something new to grow in its place.
Correspondences for Snakes
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 or a symbol like the snake, I will list below for you to use. Remember this is not an all encompassing list and there may be other correspondences to use. Just follow your intuition and use what calls to you.
Different colors of snakes can mean different things
Sometimes as a way for the universe to send us information and messages it sends them to us in signs and symbols. This could be something from a snake crossing your path while on a walk, entering your home, or even showing up in your dreams. One thing I have come across when working with snakes and understanding their messages is to pay attention to their color and pattern they show up as. Each color is believed to bring its own unique message or meaning. There are some differing beliefs about each color based on the region and culture you look at but, below I have put together the most commonly accepted ones I can find and I use in my life.
Black snakes, typically represent bad luck and death in many cultures.
Green snakes are viewed as messengers of good fortune.
Red snakes are generally associated with fire, passion, and danger. They can also symbolize transformation and rebirth.
White snakes tend to represent purity and spiritual enlightenment. They are often seen as a sign of good luck or fortune in many cultures.
Brown snakes usually symbolize the earth element and are viewed as a symbol of protection and stability.
Yellow snakes are seen as a sign of wisdom and the power of knowledge. They can also represent wealth and prosperity.
In Chinese culture, black and white snakes together symbolize yin and yang—the two opposing forces of the universe —coming together in harmony.
Ways to work with snakes
Each one of us will develop our own relationship with these mysterious, sensual, healing, and wise creatures. It is up to you to sit with the energy of the snake, read the myths about them, and listen to what feels right for you and how they want to work with you. Listen to the wisdom they whisper with each hiss as they slither through the shadows. Remember; it’s important to approach them with respect, reverence, and gratitude to build a relationship with these mystical creatures. Follow your intuition and work with them however you feel pulled to but, here are some ideas to get you started on ways to work with snakes and serpents in your magical practices and life.
Study the Snake
The first thing just like with every single energy I talk about and write about for you to work with magically, is to study it. I know this guide is massive. I know I have a lot of information in here but, there is soo much more to cover when it comes to these multi faceted and mystical creatures. Go and read about more myths of snakes and their different symbolism in cultures I didn’t cover here. Read about deities who call the snake their companion and try and add them to your practice. Learn more about how their venom is used in healing practices. Learn about the different types of snakes in different regions of the world. What they look like, their habits, and how they adapt to their environments. The more you study and learn the better! When working with snakes it is all about building a true relationship with them and you do this first by getting to know who they are.
Meditation
The slow-moving, entrancing motion of snakes is dangerously, but powerfully hypnotic. Use the imagery of the snake in meditation to enhance your trance state. Serpents are an ideal meditation focal image for conquering fear, moving through difficult feelings and regaining your power.
Visit a snake rescue or volunteer at one
What better way to connect to these creatures then to get up and personal with them while doing some kind work to help some who may need a little extra love in life right now. You can do this by finding a snake rescue near you . Most will have some way for you to go and visit the snakes who have been rehomed there. You can usually support them by paying an admission fee. Some will even let you adopt a snake from them or volunteer your time there as well. So, go online and find one near you to visit. I will be taking my son to this one near us soon. https://snakediscovery.com/
Adopt or buy a snake as a companion
If you feel you have the time and resources to care for a snake. If you have done the research and did the proper preparation. If you feel really drawn to work with them in your every day life why not add one to your home. But, again make sure you do this responsibly and only get one if you truly have done the research and feel prepared.
Go on a walk in nature to encounter one
Snakes are very versatile creatures living in many different types of climates in many regions across the world. Which means depending o the season and weather in your current part of the world you are likely to come across one. So, one way you can connect with them is do a little research about areas near you where you can go on a mindful walk in nature and hopefully come across one on your path. Don’t forget to take note of the colors and patterns you see like we talked about above. That way when you come home you can look into deciphering the message they have for you.
Slither in the shadows with them during shadow work
You can work with them as a spirit guide or familiar depending on your belief system when doing shadow work. You follow them as they slither comfortably into the shadows to show you what you hide. When working with them in that way, the snake or serpent can guide you to universal truths, cosmic knowledge, the shedding of skins, and profound healing. If you would like to learn more about shadow work you can purchase my eBook here; you can book me for a 1:1 session as your guide here; and you can watch my free class previously taught on it through Divination here.

Shed your skin with the snake ritual
This ritual I have created to help you start your work with the snake doesn’t require much just you, the image of the snake in your minds eye, and a bath scrub. This ritual is meant to help you literally shed dead and old skin from your body. To allow your new fresh glowing skin to grow. But, this can be an uncomfortable and painful process. So this ritual also is dripping with self love to help ease the transition.
To prepare for this ritual you will need to decide if you want to take a ritual bath or a ritual shower. I prefer to do ritual showers with this ritual because, it is easier to scrub and remove skin from your body and you are left with more room for movement. If you are going to do a ritual bath then you need to draw it and add any herbs you would like to it that promote self love. Like lavender, rose petals, rosemary, or any others you like to use. Maybe even add some pink salt. If you need ideas I do have a spell for a self love ritual bath on my Pinterest here.
Once you have your bath drawn or your shower going it is time to get into sacred container. Do this while you are holding on to your bath scrub you picked out to infuse it with the energy you are calling into your sacred container of self love, renewal, and letting go. However you do this is up to you but, I want you to focus on an image of a snake in your minds eye. Focus on what it looks like, the color of each scale, how it moves, and the energy it gives to you about renewal. What does it hiss to you that you need to let go? What parts of you need to be shed with your old and dead skin? What parts of you are ready to be removed so you can awaken the next stage of your enlightenment?
When you feel that the snake is there in the bathroom with you. When you feel you have listened to their hisses whispering to you what needs to be shed and let go for your next transformation. It is time to get into either your shower or bath when you step in make sure you do so on an inhale of breath while envisioning the energy of the snake and water entering your energetic system. On your next big exhale you will release any tension, resistance or stress in your body still. As you feel the water start to hit your skin and wash over your body imagine and picture the snake right there with you. Slithering up and down your body showing you the areas of your body that need extra attention. Showing you the places you have energetic wounds sitting waiting for you to scrub clean and allow them to heal. As you watch the snake show you those place on your body take your bath scrub in your hands. While holding on to it focus on adding all your energy of self love and healing into your scrub. Once you feel it has been infused into your scrub. Take it and begin to scrub your body from head to toe. Making sure to pay special attention to the areas the snake showed you. As you are scrubbing make sure to focus on the old energy, the old you, the old skin being removed. Focus on the new skin coming in to transform you into the next highest version of yourself, shedding your skin and old self just as the snake has guided you to do.
This ritual can sometimes leave you feeling pretty raw, vulnerable, and sensitive. So, if there wasn’t enough self love infused in your scrub make sure to do some more self love rituals and self care. Make sure you allow yourself the space to feel what you need to after shedding the old you.
Final thoughts on how to use the energy of the snake this year
Snakes or Serpents are associated with both darkness and illumination across many cultures throughout history and time. Snakes offer a profound lens through which to explore the realms of spirituality, transformation, and protection. Remember, snakes are known for their ability to shed their skin, symbolizing the process of letting go of the old and embracing the new which is going to be the central theme to this entire year. Snakes really are everything you aspire to be: smooth, sneaky, and completely unbothered by the opinions of others. They’re the passive-aggressive MVPs of the animal kingdom. They slither through life with the grace and determination to get to their next goal. Never being afraid to strike out with a venomous bites to protect yourself and your way of life. So, use this guide to help you tap into this energy and become all you truly want to be in life regenerating from the inside out like the snake

New Year’s Eve is a liminal time exploding with the energy of renewal, transformation, and change. Marking the end of one calendar year and the beginning of another, it offers a secular reason for people to celebrate together. As we look upon a new calendar year full of possibilities and opportunities, it is important to start off the right way. Along with making resolutions, I like to ring in the New Year with a bit of magic aimed at accomplishing my goals. removing obstacles over the next twelve months, calling in abundance, and protection. This is a time for celebrating the changing seasons by incorporating spells into your New Year’s Eve festivities. Doing this can set the tone for a vibrant, abundant, and magical calendar year ahead.
What is the new year?
The new year is a symbolic time to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new. The new year is the beginning of a new calendar year. The new year is celebrated on January 1st in most countries that use the Gregorian calendar, including the United States. However, the new year is celebrated on different dates in other calendars, such as the Chinese, Jewish, and Islamic calendars.
History of the New year
While it seems secular now, New Year’s is actually very much tied to ancient pagan celebrations. Many of our modern traditions are passed down to us from the ancients cultures and peoples. New year celebrations go back at least to the Babylonians. The Romans took these celebrations to the next level with copious amounts of drinking, feasting, and partying.
The new year hasn’t always been celebrated on December 31st/ January 1st. In 2000 B.C. the new year was celebrated around the time of the vernal equinox, in mid-March, in Mesopotamia. Today, most New Year’s celebrations start on New Year’s Eve, December 31, the final day of the year on the Gregorian calendar, and continue through New Year’s Day on January first.
The New Year a Liminal Time
As the old year fades away and the new one begins, we find ourselves in a liminal space. This is a time of transition and transformation, when anything is possible. It’s a time when we sit on the edge of one calendar year turning a page for another one to begin. The liminal space between one year ending and another beginning is a special time that should be embraced fully!
The New Year a time of abundance
When the calendar new year comes again it opens up a portal of abundance and wealth. The transition from one year to the next is seen as a chance to “clean the slate” and start anew, creating an optimistic outlook for the future. This includes the abundance of having all our needs met in life. This is a time when we set our intentions for the year ahead and what we all want to manifest. So, on this new years eve we do our best to have our life look like what we wish to manifest in the year ahead. We surround ourselves with an abundance of feasting, drinking, being around community, and loved ones as we ring in the new year ahead. We show the universe and the gods and goddesses all we wish for them to give us in the year ahead.
The New Year a time of reset
The calendar New year is the closing of one new year and the opening of another opening of a new one. This new start comes with a naturally feeling of renewal and reset. It is a chance to press the reset button on our lives, a chance to get it right this time. This is a time to relook at all the past year and reset for something brand new you have never seen before to unfold in front of you. If you want to learn how do to reset your entire life this new year’s eve check our my guide here.
Common folklore traditions
There are many different folklore and traditions around the world for how to celebrate New Year’s Eve. New Year’s Eve is usually celebrated by most with gathering alongside friends and family. Popular rituals include serving food that symbolizes good fortune and making resolutions focused on what one hopes to accomplish in the next year. Along side doing things to draw in good fortune and to protect yourself and the home from unwanted spirits to come into your home. Let’s take a look at some of the many but, certainly not all, of the ancient traditions and folklore from across the earthly realm I have found below.
Ancient Babylonians celebrated the new year with feasts and returning farm equipment that had been borrowed from others.
In Norse traditions, Yule celebrations ended around the new year. The last feasts of the Winter Solstice were huge on this final night to celebrate the turning of the wheel.
In both Ancient Egyptian and Greek societies they paraded a baby around to symbolize the beginning of the new year.
The romans would kiss each other at midnight to bring love and prosperity into the next year plus to also ward off unwanted and malevolent spirits.
For the Aztecs, this was a time to sacrifice children by drowning in order to buy the favor of the rain gods.
DON’T do any laundry on New Years Day. In china it’s thought if you do laundry on New years you are setting up your next year to be full of cleaning
Do NOT cry, crying on January 1st instills a sad and negative mood throughout the next 12 months.
Make sure you wake up at dawn. In fact, according to a Polish tradition, getting up early on New Year’s Eve will make you wake up to the crowing of the rooster (and without the slightest effort) for the rest of the year.
If your dream for the next year is to travel the world on New Year’s Eve in Colombia, people go around with an empty suitcase which, according to ancient superstition, would ensure a nice trip within the year.
Eat 12 grapes (one after the other) just like they do in Spain, where they are said to bring good luck.
Have black cabbage and lentils be apart of your new years feast like the do in the southern United states to call in good luck, prosperity, and wealth
According to the ancient Chinese tradition, on New Year’s Day, you should not clean the house, as removing the dust or sweeping the floor would literally “sweep” away the good luck and the good vibes that would have been attracted by the celebrations and decorations dedicated to the new year.
Observe the weather in the very early hours of January 1st; if the wind blows from the south, the new year will be rich and prosperous; if instead, it comes from the north, then the new year will be problematic and turbulent, so better fasten your seat belts. The wind from the east also brings famines and calamities, while the wind from the west means that the new year will be rich and lush.
According to an Italian tradition, men and women should wear red underwear on New Year’s Eve if they want to find love, passion, good sex, and good luck in the next year to come.
If you live or are celebrating near a lake or ocean, try out this Brazilian ritual on New Year’s Eve, which involves jumping seven waves. With each jump, you make a wish for the upcoming year.
An ancient Persian New year’s tradition that is still celebrated by some in Iran is to light a bonfire and once you do you jump over it twice. On the first jump you say a blessing releasing your past years pain into the flame and then on the jump back. You say a blessing asking for the health of the flame to bless your life in the coming year ahead.
Eat round foods. In many cultures, eating round foods on New Year’s Eve is believed to bring prosperity and abundance in the new year. In Europe and the United States, people eat 12 round fruits to represent each month of the year. In the Philippines, people eat 13, which is considered a lucky number.
Smash pomegranates. In Ancient Greece, pomegranates were viewed as a symbol of abundance and luck. On new years eve people were seen smashing pomegranates outside their doors to bring good luck to the new year. The more pomegranate seeds spilled in the smash, the more luck you’ll have for the new year.
In Denmark, they break plates this tradition is done to ward off malevolent spirits and is symbolic of a fresh start to the new year.
Preparing mochi, which is a Japanese rice cake, on New Year’s is symbolic of renewal and is seen to bring about blessings for the year.
Grab some bread and bang the bread against the walls. The Irish believe that doing so wards off malevolent spirits and brings abundance to the coming year.
Danish tradition includes standing on the chair and “jumping” into the new year at midnight. It’s also believed that if you forget, it’s bad luck. ( I do this one every year)
The New Year and Duality
Since, I am a grey witch I look for the duality in every single energy I work with including sacred times like New year’s eve. I have always loved New Year’s Eve for it’s duality. It’s a time of reflection for me and a time to set my intentions for the new year. It’s a time to reflect on the past while looking towards the hope of the future ahead. It’s a time to not just look at what I want to change and let go of but, to congratulate myself for the all the mountains I climbed. It’s a time when I take a look at what worked from the past year and what didn’t. I am reminded of the constant ebb and flow in life, the constant change, and how to live in the balance of liminal transformation as one chapter ends and a new one begins.
Correspondences for the New year’s
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 or for A holiday or sacred time like the calendar New year. I will list below for you to use. Remember this is not an all encompassing list and there may be other correspondences to use. Just follow your intuition and use what calls to you.

Ways to work with the energy of New years
However you choose to work with the New year’s eve magic and energies make sure to follow your intuition where it leads you. Make sure you tap into the energies of abundance, renewal, and the closing of one chapter, and the opening of a new one. In your everyday life, you can work with any affirmations, mantras, and visualization work for abundance, new beginnings, endings, reflection, and the changing of the calendar year. Let’s take a look at some of the many different ways you can magical work with the energy of New year’s eve.
Imagine and set your New year SMART goals
One of the number one ways to celebrate new years eve is to sit down, let your imagination run wild and think of all the biggest and wildest goals you wish to set for the year ahead. This is the eve when you are observing the calendar year that you can really think big, let the walls down and don’t think about what you can’t have but, come from a mindset of abundance and focus on what you can have. But, don’t forget to not only let your imagination run with your goals but take the time to set them in a specific way by making them SMART goals. If you have been with me the last year I have written about SMART goals many times, but I do so because using this method changed how I was able to take those goals in my imagination and bring them to life. To learn all about SMART goals and how to set them this New Year’s eve head over to my guide here now!
Visualization
Visualization is great way to set intentions for the new year. This is going to be the practice I am really intentionally committing to this New years eve and all 2025 long. I’ve come to learn with my manifestation work in the past year just speaking things out loud is not enough. I must see myself already having what I want in my hands. So, close your eyes and imagine yourself surrounded by all of the things you want to manifest in the new year. Picture yourself living out your dreams, achieving success, and feeling fulfilled by all that you have accomplished. Hold onto this image as you move forward into the new year, knowing that it will come true if you put in the effort and stay focused on your goals.
Cast protection spells
New Year’s Eve is a liminal time where the energies around us are more susceptible to change. As we look upon a new year full of possibilities and opportunities, it is important to start off the right way. Protecting ourselves, our family, and our space is something essential to do before we commence into the new year. A New Year’s Eve Protection Spell can be a powerful tool to keep us safe and supported as we let go of the old year and prepare for the future. So cast those protection spells this New Year’s eve to protect you home, your family, and your life all year long. Ps. don’t forget to cleanse yourself, your tools, and your space as well before you cast your protection spells.
Reflection through Shadow work
Remember how New years eve is a liminal time. It is time when we are sitting on the edge of change and transformation. In order to move onto the next stage of evolution and change that we are greeting in the new year ahead we must first look back. We must look at the highest heights we reached and lowest depths we sank to down deep. We must decide what we want take from one chapter into the next and what we wish to leave behind. The best way to do this for me is through shadow work. If you would like to learn more about shadow work you can purchase my eBook here; you can book me for a 1:1 session as your guide here; and you can watch my free class previously taught on it through Divination here.
Release work spells
As we go into the new year ahead with hope for a bright future we have to make sure we have left the things we no longer need in the past. One way to do this is to make sure we energetically and magically release the things from the past year. One of my favorite ways to do this on New year’s eve is to write down the things I wish to release. The patterns in the past year that no longer serve me and I no longer wish to repeat. Along with the blockages I met during the past year to align with the correct energies to manifest all of my goals being met. Once I write them down I wait until the clock strikes 12 then I read them out loud and burn them in fire to release the blockage from life. To no longer carry any of that into my new chapter of life.
Abundance and good luck spells
With a New calendar year unfolding before us on New Year’s Eve this is a day we can set ourselves up for a long and prosperous year ahead. We can tap into that unlimited potential this magical unknown year has for us. There are countless different traditions you can do like some we talked about above from around the earthy realm that will bring in abundance and good luck. Along with just as many spells. One really poplar one I like is to place a bowl of coins outside my threshold. When you return home for the first time in the new year (perhaps after a late-night party),bless them for everything you want in the new year to come. To get more ideas for abundance and good luck spells head over to my Pinterest where I have many or check out my abundance guide and my guide all about Thursdays magic.
This spell is my favorite one to do every single New Year’s Eve. It masters the liminal space and energy of change on the night, the magic and mastery of time to bring in a very abundant, vibrant, and magical life in 2025.
Shortly before midnight on New year’s eve Grab 12 candles, I prefer to use white or green, 12 coins, and an herb bundle made of rosemary, thyme, sage, and bay leaves. Take your candles and set them on the floor in front of in a circle to mimic a clock and place one coin under each candle. Then get yourself into sacred container while you focus on what it is you want to manifest in the next year ahead. Once you feel you have a clear vision in your head and your intent is set, sit with it until the clock strikes midnight. Once the you hear the clock chime, start lighting each candle in your circle starting at the top aka 12 o’clock and going clockwise until all 12 candles are lit. Don’t forget to focus on your intention you are setting for the year ahead as you light each candle in your magical clock. Once this is done go around your entire home and smoke cleanse your space bringing in your most abundant year yet. Let the candles burn until they go out on their own or if you are not comfortable with that for safety reasons burn them for 12 minutes for each candle and then blow them out by 1 as the time is met.

Friday the 13th has held our fascination in culture for a long time now, for many it has gotten a bit of an infamous reputation even. Because, most of the beliefs are that this day is unlucky. While that is the case in some cultures and practices it’s not the case for all. For many, we see that by bringing the beautiful and loving energies of Friday and the transformative and whole energies of the number 13 together, Friday the 13th is in fact, a very powerful day. A day for feminine energy, manifestation, and creativity. We see the magic of this day and it’s energy mirrored in the 13 lunar cycles of the year and in the blood women shed each month. It is also an extremely powerful time of death and rebirth as it represents that mid-point in the cycle between something new emerging and something old slipping away. Friday the 13th is a day that invites us to explore the depths of our soul and embrace our spiritual journey. Join me under the night sky as you speak to the moon, to learn all about the magic you can harness on this mysterious and mystical day instead of being afraid.
History and legends of Friday the 13th as unlucky
To truly understand the significance of Friday the 13th, we need to delve into its historical origins, explore its spiritual interpretations, and unravel the common beliefs and myths associated with it. The number 13 has a long and intriguing history, steeped in superstition and lore. Its reputation as an unlucky number can be traced back to various ancient civilizations and cultural beliefs. In fact, fear of the number 13 even has a specific name: triskaidekaphobia. The fear of the number 13 is so strong that it has influenced architecture and design. Many buildings and hotels skip the thirteenth floor entirely, jumping from the twelfth to the fourteenth floor in a practice known as; “floor numbering avoidance.” Let’s take a look at some of the myths that have lead to this deep seated fear and feeling of being unlucky.
First up an example of this day being unlucky and it comes from Norse mythology. From what I can find this may even be the oldest one. There was a dinner party being held in Valhalla amongst the gods for all, but one. The trickster god loki was not invited. When he heard of this he decided to attend anyways as the 13th guest of the party. Than during the party he convinced Höðr to shoot Balder with a mistletoe-tipped arrow killing him. Thus marking this day as unlucky.
Next up, we look at Christianity where we see the number 13th portrayed again as being unlucky. This comes up in the story of the last supper when the one who betrayed Jesus was the 13th guest; Judas. Not only that, according to Christian tradition, Jesus was crucified on a Friday, which has led some to view the day as a symbol of suffering and sorrow adding more bad luck to this day for some. We see it again in history with Christianity and the knights templar as well. Many even trace the origins of Friday the 13th superstitions back to the day they were arrested. Which was on Friday, October 13, 1307 by French King Philip IV. Most were imprisoned and later executed. This association between the number 13 and betrayal has resonated throughout history and has contributed to the belief that it brings bad luck.
The energies of Friday the 13th
Throughout history, the number 13 has been steeped in mystery and superstition. In numerology, this number is often considered to be symbolic of change, transformation, and spiritual growth. It is believed to possess a powerful energy that can bring about both wanted and unwanted outcomes. Similarly, the day of Friday has its own spiritual connections. In many cultures, Friday is associated with the planet Venus, the goddess of love and beauty. It is seen as a day of romance, creativity, and spiritual connection. When you combine these two energies the ripe fertile energy of manifestation appears. It is said to be a day when the veil between the physical and spiritual realms is thin, allowing for deeper insights, heightened intuition and spiritual awakening.
Friday the 13th; A day of the goddess
Friday the 13th is not only seen as an unlucky day, but a day of deep beauty and fertility. Before patriarchal times, Friday the 13th was considered the day of the Goddess. It was considered a day to honor the Divine Feminine that lives in us all and to honor the cycles of creation and death and rebirth. With it being the day of the Goddess it is a beautiful day for creating and celebrating life. It is a lovely day for getting in tune with your emotions, sensitivities, and giving thanks to the beautiful Goddess that lives in us all. All this fertile divine feminine energy makes Friday the 13th, a very powerful day to manifest, honor creativity, and to celebrate beauty, wisdom, and nourishment of the soul.
Friday the 13th; manifestation and spiritual awakening
Friday the 13th is a very fertile day for setting intentions, visualizing goals, and engaging in rituals to bring about positive change in our lives. the combination of Friday, associated with Venus, the planet of love and abundance, and the number 13, which is associated with transformation and rebirth, creates a potent energy for manifesting desires and intentions. The alignment of these cosmic energies amplifies our ability to attract what we desire and manifest our dreams into reality.
Friday the 13th is also seen as an opportunity for deep introspection, self-reflection, spiritual awakening, and personal growth. Friday the 13th is seen as a time to delve into one’s inner world and confront any emotional or spiritual challenges that may be hindering our personal growth. It is believed that by embracing this day and its energies, we can embark on a journey of self-discovery and transformation, shedding old patterns and beliefs that no longer serve us.
Friday the 13th and duality
Since, I am a grey witch I look for the duality in every single energy I work with including sacred times like Friday the 13th. Man does, this day have so much duality to it and honestly I hope I have made it obvious at this point throughout this post even. While most people think of Friday the 13th as something to be fearful of as a day full of bad luck, dreadful omens, and misfortune. It’s also a time that is fertile with beautiful and loving energy to guide you towards spiritual awakening and manifestation with creativity. You can’t get much more dualistic in energy then that. Plus this day is also connected to a very liminal pocket of time and energy. It’s a time of death and rebirth, representing the midpoint between something new and something old.
Correspondences for Friday the 13th
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 or for time of the year like a month, which I will list below for you to use. Remember this is just a start to the list for you. You can use any correspondences that connect the magical themes and energies of mystical day like Friday the 13th. Just follow your intuition on what you choose to work with!

Ways to work with the energy of Friday the 13th
As witches, we can associate a lot of great, and magical, things with Friday the 13th. Friday is ruled by Venus, the planet of love, harmony, and money. It’s a good day for self-care, self-love, and to make for some great Venusian-style hedonism. When it comes to this mysterious, mystical, and fertile day there are countless ways to work with it. I will go over some below.
Shadow work
One of my favorite ways to work with this energy is to tap into the very fertile energies prime for personal growth and spiritual awakening on this day is through shadow work. Shadow work on this day is profound leading us to places inside ourselves to release blockages to create a life we have always wanted to manifest. Guiding us to the inner goddess within the creative energy swirling in our womb space. If you would like to learn more about shadow work you can purchase my eBook here; you can book me for a 1:1 session as your guide here; and you can watch my free class previously taught on it through Divination here.
Sex Magic Own your sexuality! Use your orgasms to set intentions. As you pleasure yourself or consensually with a partner, think of a goal that you want to achieve and attain. While climaxing, state the intention over and over. Being that sex and orgasms are full of fertile manifestation energy, you can make your visions true by manifesting them this way into your life. On top of that it adds a very intimate and magical layer to your sex life and relationship. To learn more about sex magic you can watch my class with Divination Academy on YouTube here.
Harness the bad luck for protection magic
A reality we all have to face in life is that from time to time we will need protection from energies that come our way. Whether it be from a thing, place, or person in our life. So, why not work with the unlucky energy that exists within this day to help you do that. This is one of my favorite ways to work with this day! Taking bad luck, harnessing it, and directing it towards others to protect you can really put a damper on others day. Plus you can get pretty creative with your hexes and curses you cast that are anchored in the energy of bad luck and misfortune. You can make them as elaborate or as simples as you want as well! From writing their name on a piece of toilet paper, then taking it and flushing it down the toilet to flush away all of their good luck and bring only bad luck from this day on. You can cast hexes to just annoy them throughout the day as well; like having one of their shoes never being able to stay tied, or losing sight of their phone every time they set it down. The last way I like to work with this bad luck energy is using it in my protection spells as an amplifier by using its energy in things like bad luck charms and spell bags. Or even weaving it’s energy into my reflective shield causing bad luck and misfortune to befall anyone who sends unwanted energy my way.

Use this spell I created below with me today, to manifest 13 of your deepest wishes and dreams with the divine feminine and the energy of 13!
This spell is meant to use the ripe and fertility energy of Friday the 13th to manifest your wishes and dreams. What you will need is a cauldron or fire safe bowl, a marker, a white candle and 13 bay leaves.
When you are ready to begin get yourself into sacred container by visualizing white, warm, feminine energy surrounding you.

Once done focus on the energy and number of 13 and light your candle sitting within the cauldron or bowl. Next, focus on the flame and as you burn each bay leave in the flame releasing your wish to the multiverse say. “ By the power of 13, my wishes I burn. By the power of 13 all my dreams come to me.”
Final thoughts
While some associate this day with bad luck and misfortune, others perceive it as a time of powerful manifestation and spiritual awakening. It is up to each individual to decide how they want to interpret and engage with the energies of this unique day. Friday the 13th is a day that invites us to explore the depths of our soul and embrace our spiritual journey.

Remember, the power lies within you to make any day, even Friday the 13th, a day of growth, abundance, and spiritual connection.
December is a time of reflection, renewal, stillness, rest, introspection, hope, celebrating community and our own uniqueness. The magic of December calls us inward for deep introspection to be a catalyst of rebirth and growth to bloom. Now is the time when we rest while we wait for the spring when the ground thaws and life begins again. In December the energy is focused on the journey deep within as the spirits from the other world are held off by the wild hunt and Odin seated upon Sleipnir. December calls us to focus on transformation, shadow work, releasing the past, and choosing the goals we will focus on this coming year to create the life we truly want. December is associated with Yule and the winter solstice marking the rebirth of the sun and the return of light after the longest night of the year. It’s a time to celebrate the return of light to the world next to the glowing hearth with our family and friends. It is a time to set intentions for the coming year, and reflect on the past year’s experiences. This month envelopes us in the duality and magic of winter. By showing us the introspection in dark nights and the hope of day light finally getting longer again. During December in the stillness and silence as the snow falls, and the ground freezes profound secrets of wisdom are whispered with each inhaled breath. Come join me in this blogpost to learn all about the magic falling down in each silent snowflake covering the realm during the month of introspection, rest, and rebirth; December.
History of December
December is the 12th month of the Julian and Gregorian calendars. The name December comes from the Latin word decem, which means “ten”. This is because it was originally the tenth month of the year in the Roman calendar, which began in March. December has marked the end of the year and the start of winter since the ancient Romans created their first calendar.
Zodiac Signs For The Month Of December
Those born in December are said to be born under either the sign of the archer Sagittarius or the mythical seagoat Capricorn.
Sagittarius are typically born between November 22 and December 21. Sagittarius is the ninth sign of the zodiac, and is represented by an archer. They are known for being self-sufficient, independent, free and are a one-of-a-kind, and wise beyond their years. Sagittarius, is the learned healer whose higher intelligence forms a bridge between Earth and Heaven.
Capricorn are typically born between December 22 and January 19. Capricorn’s symbol is a sea-goat, a mythical creature that is part goat and part fish. This is representative of Capricorn’s ability to navigate both the material and emotional realms. Capricorns are said to be hardworking, honest, loyal, and persistent. They are also known for being determined, responsible, and focused.
Sacred Days And Celebrations In December
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 December! The common theme you will find is connection to family, our homes, light vs dark and rebirth. But, first we are going to talk about a few that take centerstage during this month having us focus on the introspection in dark nights and the hope of day light finally getting longer.
Saturnalia
First up, one of my favorite festivals and holidays to read about in December because, it just sounds like so much fun; Saturnalia. The Saturnalia Festival is an ancient Roman holiday that mainly celebrated the Winter sowing season, as well as honored the god Saturn. The actual dates vary but most scholars agree it was once celebrated between December 17th and the 23rd OR December 25th through the 31st, depending on the calendar that was used. What we know for sure is that it was observed around Midwinter a.k.a. the Winter Solstice. Saturnalia was a jovial time for the entire city of Rome because, everyone in ancient Rome had off of work and participated in the excitement. Especially the most interesting tradition of this festival when the social norms of society were lifted. For example, slaves were able to be the masters and masters turned into the slaves. Women could switch roles with the men and vice versa. It was a true time of merriment and debauchery for all.
Krampusnacht, or Krampus Night
Krampusnacht, or Krampus Night, is a holiday celebrated on December 5th to celebrate the horned, cloven-hoofed companion to St. Nicholas; Krampus. Krampus is a terrifying winter devil who accompanies Saint Nicholas in Eastern and Central European Christmas parades. You’ll find him in Bavaria, Austria, Slovenia, Hungary, and parts of Croatia and Northern Italy. Krampus is said to punish children who misbehave, while St. Nicholas rewards the good ones. Krampus is said to have been part of pagan rituals for the winter solstice and is thought to be the son of Hel, the Norse god of the underworld. There’s also an uncanny resemblance between Krampus, Pan, fauns and the Celtic horned deity Cernunnos. But as with almost every pagan entity he Christianity came along and he became associated with Christmas despite efforts by the Catholic church to ban him.
Winter Solstice
The Winter Solstice, occurring around December 21st in the Northern Hemisphere, is the moment when the sun takes its lowest arc across the sky, marking the longest night and the shortest day.The Winter Solstice is a special event that occurs when the Earth tilts farthest away from the sun. It is the shortest day and the longest night of the year. It’s a special day when one part of the Earth, where you might live, gets the least amount of sunlight in a whole year. The Winter Solstice has been important to many cultures and religions throughout time. It represents a moment of stillness, reflection, and gratitude amidst the busyness of our day-to-day activities.
Yule
As the days draw short and the nights grow long, there are celebrations full of cheer as well as a tinge of fear in the cold, crisp air as Yule is celebrated far and wide. Yule is one of the oldest winter solstice festivals, with origins among the ancient Norse thousands of years ago. Yule or Jol is believed to be first an ancient Germanic holiday season. The name Jol is believed to come from a name for Odin himself – JÓLFAÐR, which translates to Yule Father. Some say Yule lasted for 12 days, from the Winter Solstice forward, while others say the festivities lasted an entire two months. From December through January, if we’re looking at a modern calendar. At this time of year, people are experiencing both the height of darkness and the knowledge and hope that the light and warmth will return. Yule is a time for people to rest, enjoy good food and drink, and turn their thoughts to the gods and ancestors. Plus during this time it was thought that Odin seated upon Sleipnir stampeded across the sky leading the wild hunt keeping the spirits on their side of the veil.
The Celts also celebrated Yule, but their focus was on the rebirth of the sun and the coming of a new year. They believed that the burning of the Yule log was a way to symbolize the sun’s return and that the exchange of gifts was a way to honor the gods and ask for their favor in the coming year. Some mark the holiday with reenactments of the battle between the Holly King (representing darkness) and the Oak King (representing light) of Celtic legend.

Magical And Witchcraft Themes For December
During this month the darkness and silence calls to us to take a break from everything. We have put in the hard work all year, reaped what we have sown during the harvest festivals and now is the time to turn inward and rest. Between Samhain and Yule during the month of December, can be an ideal time for shadow work, working on anything that you want to heal, and release. Allowing for a profound rebirth and personal growth. Leaving room this month to focus on the next year ahead and what intentions you wish to set. To begin our new year with an inner flame of power that is burning bright all year long. Lighting the way for a year to manifest all that we truly desire. Performing intention setting and goal rituals during December will have a lasting affect on what you manifest in the year ahead. Don’t forget to cast fire spells as well during this month to bring you heat and warmth during the cold winter months. As well as connecting you to the hope of brighter and warmer days soon to come. I love to perform fire magic via candles during this month to create a beacon of light and hope for my mental health during the darkest days ahead. Lastly, if you live in a part of the world that freezes during the winter with frozen water ways and falling snow, binding and banishing magic can be extremely powerful and protective right now. Use the power of the alchemy in ice and snow to banish things from your life you need to let go, or to bind someone or something in place that no longer serves you in a wanted way.
The gods and goddesses of December
This month is a good time to get to know the winter goddesses that rule at this time. Some are associated with the dark goddess aspect as of the divine feminine as well. Allowing for a powerful portal to ancient wisdom and magical knowledge during this month as the snow falls. 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.( Don’t forget to grab my eBook in the shop to help you explore this)
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 rest, rebirth, protection, winter, snow, renewal, darkness, reflection, wisdom, and the winter solstice. Below we will talk about some of the deities you can work with this month. I could never list them all here. Plus take note how most of them are dark goddesses as well.
Hestia– Greek goddess
The first deity I want to talk about I personally feel is overlooked far too often especially during the cold winter months. December is the month that ushers in the winter season. Which means we need warmth and heat for us to survive and thrive. Which is why I always feel pulled to her during this time. Especially living in Minnesota I need her to bless my hearth with continuous heat during the long winter months. Not only that, but she can make your home extra cozy during this month while you spend more quality time with your family. Hestia is the sole attendant to the celestial hearth of the gods. As the goddess of the hearth, she personified the fire burning in the hearths of every home in Greece. On a very tangible level, Hestia rules the domain of fire. This means that she is directly responsible, at least according to the Greeks, for the fire, the stove, and the heat in your home. Honoring her during December, the first month of winter when the temperatures begin to drop, and snow begins to flitter down. She will bless your hearth as she stokes and fuels the flames all winter long. Don’t forget all month long to present her and your hearth with the first offering sacrificed to keep those flames burning strong.
To learn more about and meet Hestia, you can come join me in my upcoming class all about her with Divination academy on Sunday December 15th @ 2:pm CST
Odin-Norse god
Odin is a Norse god who rules over wisdom, war, magic, and sovereignty. Odin is known by many many names. Wodan, Wotan, All Father, One-Eyed Seeker are but just a few. He is the ruler of the Aesir and steward of Asgard. In Germanic lore, it is said he leads the Wild Hunt while being seated upon Sleipnirs back. This hunt is a spiritual parade of sorts that flies through the sky on Winter nights. Sometimes the Wild Hunt collects lost souls and sometimes a person joins the Wild Hunt in their sleep. In Nordic countries, the people gave sacrifices to Odin in the Winter months to ensure safety from them and prosperity. Including the children leaving hay in their boots by the hearth for Sleipnir to snack on as he flew by. Does this sound familiar to you at all? A white bearded old man, riding across the sky with a stead bringing blessings to those as he goes by? Many believe Odin is the actual inspiration for modern day santa claus? Check out my class all about this on YouTube here and decide for yourself.
Skaði (Skadi / Skathi) – Norse goddess
Skaði is a Norse goddess, often called the “Winter Queen,” associated with the mountains, hunting, skiing, and the wild, primarily known as a giantess (jötunn) who married the sea god Njörðr. Daughter of a fallen giant, Skadi walks the windswept mountains, a huntress sculpted from ice and legend. Her eyes, sharp as glaciers, scan the frozen realm. Bow in hand, she glides through the snow on swift skis, a predator born of the wilderness. Tales paint her as fierce, her spirit forged in the fires of vengeance and tempered by the unforgiving cold. She is mistress of the mountains, where the sun dances on glacial edges and the howl of the wolf echoes through empty valleys. But beneath the hardened exterior lies a yearning for connection. A goddess caught between two worlds – Asgard, home of the gods, and the wild embrace of the giants. Skadi’s place in Norse mythology is multifaceted and we see this as she is featured in stories with Odin, Loki, and Njordr among others. She’s even associated with snowshoes, and in later stories is said to have married Odin and bore him many children. She is the embodiment of both the untamed wild and a yearning for understanding. She is a warrior queen, a skilled hunter, and a goddess who walks the line between two worlds. Her story reminds us of the power of resilience in the face of loss, the importance of honoring our true nature, and the ever-present tension and duality between harmony and conflict.
Boreas-Greek God Boreas is the Greek God of the North wind, winter and ice. He’s also known as The Devouring One. He is the spirit of Winter and can be both violent and benevolent. Depending on the person and situation. The Greeks believed he came from the North, being the North Wind, and because of this was considered Thracian in origin. He is often depicted as a powerful, bearded man with wings, with two faces – one in front and one in back. He is the son of the Titan Astraeus and Eos, the goddess of the dawn, and brother to Zephyrus (the West Wind) and Notus (the South Wind). He is said to be the one who brings cold winter weather and is known for his violent temper, most famously abducting the Athenian princess Oreithyia to become his wife.
Cailleach – Celtic / Scottish
Cailleach stands as a prominent figure in Celtic mythology, embodying the essence of wisdom, transformation, and the cycles of nature. Her presence is deeply rooted in the folklore and traditions of Ireland, Scotland, and the Isle of Man. She is a divine figure often depicted as a weathered, old woman wielding a staff or a wand. This staff is said to have mystical powers for when she slams it on the ground winter will freeze all the land. She represents the embodiment of winter, sovereignty, and the primal forces of the natural world. Since, the ancient Celts celebrated two seasons only, her reign bringing cold all over the land began on Samhain. So, take your time this month to connect to her allowing you a smoother and blessed time during the long cold winter months ahead as the snow begins to really fall and the temperatures freeze the ground.
Baba Yaga
The next goddess we have gives me a very similar energy and feel when I work with her as the goddess we just talked about above; Calileach. To modern witches and Slavic pagans, Baba Yaga is a witch goddess who lives deep in a birch forest moving from place to place among the trees in her hut she calls home on top of giant chicken legs. From time to time when she needs to gather more supplies you might catch a glimpse of her flying by up in the sky from her magical mortar and pestle. She’s a wild and untamed old woman, often seen as a hag or crone, but can transform herself into a beautiful woman to manipulate or trick someone if she desires. Baba Yaga is a goddess of wisdom, healing, transformation, death, rebirth, renewal and autumn/winter. When healing is needed, whether it’s from colds/flu or emotional healing, Baba Yaga can offer healing often in the form of herbal teas brewed by herself. Calling on her during this December can lead you through the forest now frozen and blanketed in snow, to her skull fenced lined home. To peer into the darkness of her cauldron and gain the most ancient wisdom from the darkness of the cosmos that she guards. To learn more about her you can read my previous post here.

How to connect to the magic of December
We’ve talked a lot about all the different types of energies the month of December has and gives us access to work with. So, how can you specifically connect to those energies? In your everyday life you can make sure your affirmations , intentions, and manifestations align with the energies of renewal, reflection, healing, new beginnings, and aligning ourselves with the cycles of the natural world with the darkest nights and coldest days ahead of us in this month. Make sure to grab onto the energy of warmth in the fire crackling in your hearth and home as well as you let go of the past year and head into new beginnings with hope as the next one unfolds. You can celebrate and honor any of the sacred days and holidays this month like Saturnalia, Yule, and many of the celebrations to honor the winter solstice and turning of the wheel.
Some Rituals and spell workings during this time that will be really intensified will be based on cycles of the seasons, rest, reflection, the winter, stillness, silence, and the darkness of the shadows surrounding us. Other spells that will have some significant meaning right now and help you connect to the energy of December should be centered around new beginnings. Setting intentions for you to manifest the life of your dreams in the new year to come. This month is another month when you can really get some clear and transformative messages from your guides. through any means of divination you prefer but, fire gazing or Cryomancy ( snow and ice divination)are some to think about to align with the correspondences of this month.
December creates a very potent liminal pocket of time that is teeming with duality, balance, and the power of transition from not only one season to the next but, from one year to the next.. It’s a month that really pulls us to go deep within ourselves in the darkness, stillness and silence for introspection, reflection, self awareness, and growth. This makes it a great month to do any work on transformation, reflection and preparation for dark times through shadow work. Allowing the energy of the frozen winter in the final days of the year to prep you for the long introspective months of winter ahead. If you would like to learn more about shadow work you can purchase my eBook here; you can book me for a 1:1 session as your guide here; and you can watch my free class previously taught on it through Divination here.
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 the one we are currently in, December. I’m going to be honest until this year I really struggled with the duality of this month. I used to hate the bitter cold, and the wetness that chills to the bone with falling snow. All I would focus on was the untold stories and lost dreams frozen in silence all around me. I would let the harshness of this month drown me in the things of the past and let the darkness hold me back. But, now this year I am able to see clearly the other side to this month. There is absolute beauty in the pure whiteness of the snow blanketing the world right now. It washes all of nature in a cleansing and healing way as it goes into a deep rest to hibernate. Waiting to awaken when the ground thaws and spring begins to bloom as new being that was able to get the rest it needs to reflect. The silence and wisdom you find whispered in the creaks of trees is profound as each breath you take in reminds you of being alive with a bitter bite. The duality of this month send us into, what I am coming to learn may be the most liminal pocket of time in the entire year. Allowing us to be reborn by the sunrise of the brand new year when the solstice blesses us with hope as the days get longer and bright again.
Final Thoughts
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. Along with how to connect to those energies, deities we can honor and worship, and how to work with the magic of December. December is a uniquely magical time that invites everyone to plant the seeds for hopes and dreams. December reminds us that even in the darkest nights, in the harshest conditions, and the coldest times we can still find hope and light. It’s the month that shows us the depth of our resilience and our willingness to thrive in harsh conditions. December invites you to let go and open up, to give out of yourself and to receive. It asks you to look within and tend to our inner garden. It asks you to weed out the old that no longer fits, and to make room for the new that holds endless magical possibilities. December shows us that just like nature we have the ability to every year become a blank canvas. Ready for us to paint and create something brand new and beautiful again. As the snow falls and blankets nature December’s magic brings the promise of rest, introspection, new beginnings, and endless possibilities.
