the first of any month is typically regarded as a good time to refresh, renew, and attract abundance and luck so here are some ideas on how to do so!

say "rabbit rabbit!" for good luck all month long

set intentions and goals for the new month

perform a divination reading to forecast the month ahead

light a scented candle or incense to set the tone for the rest of the month

renew your wards

craft a money bowl or renew the one you already have

blow a pinch of cinnamon inside for good luck and abundance (avoid this if you have animals in the house or live with someone who has respiratory issues)

place a cinnamon stick above your front door and replace monthly instead of doing the above

cleanse your space

clean/cleanse your altar, tools, and crystals

write or draw symbols of abundance on a bay leaf and keep it in your wallet - burn it at the end of the month before you make a new one

open your windows to air out stale, stagnant energy

sweep your floors out the front door

blow a handful of salt out of your front door to release the things that no longer serve you

mop your floors with a cleansing floor wash; use this wash to clean doors and doorframes (obvs not using dirty mop water but an entirely fresh batch of the wash lol)

sprinkle salt on your doorstep and windowsills for protection after cleaning and sweeping

take a ritual bath or shower with the goal of cleansing yourself of negative vibes and inviting positive vibes in its place

if it applies, don't forget to: drink some water, gas up your vehicle, pay your bills, fill your prescriptions, take care of your physical and mental health, and stay golden

Grimoire Protection/Curse

If you are feel called to work but are tired/drained, sit outside. Take in all the energies around you. Nature can help charge you

Every witch does a little bit of a bunch of types of magic but sticks mainly to one or two in general. You usually won't be eclectic forever. You'll find what magics work best with you.

Never be lazy or cut corners with spirits. Always be respectful and always tell them to leave when you're done

When you see a plant or ingredient with a long list of properties, there are different things at play. Season of collection, the part of the plant, the health of the plant, etc all play a role in impacting which properties it will carry.

Don't call on spirits unless you have confidence and control

Be careful with sea/water magic. Get into it gently and slowly until you have the energy figured out because it can get out of hand quickly.

Adding a little pinch of magic into your breakfast can make a major difference in your day.

Your personal emotions/feelings over something will impact a work

Planting some plants is good, not only to have a garden, but the dirt helps cleanse you too. Get all dirty and muddy. It's good for ya

Not all trees are nice

The more you listen to your intuition, the easier it will be to tell it apart from your anxieties and worries

Incense is very easy to make which is why it's usually cheap to buy. But you can find a million tutorials online on how to make your own personal incense which is great if you want a spell to take effect over a while but also want to infuse the fire energy in it.

The more you work with something the better feel you get for it. Cinnamon goes in almost everything i cook and most of my spells because me and cinnamon just get right along

If you spend enough time in witchy spaces, at some point you will likely come into contact with other alternative spirituality and/or alternative healing practitioners. You may choose to study some of these healing practices, or you may run into them accidentally. As you meet and mingle with different spiritual practitioners, it's a good idea to familiarize yourself with common scams so you can avoid them.

Learning to spot a scam artist now will save you a lot of trouble as you navigate different spiritual spaces. By developing a strong bullshit detector, you can protect yourself and other people from being drawn in by grifters.

In this post, we'll go over several common red flags that indicate a spiritual or wellness scam. This is by no means an exhaustive list, but these are some of the scams you're most likely to run into.

Red Flag #1: They use titles they haven't earned, such as master, guru, priest/priestess, etc.

If someone uses a special title, don't be afraid to ask them how they got it! For example, a Reiki master/teacher is someone who has completed the highest level of Reiki training, and any legitimate master/teacher will have a certificate to prove that they are properly trained. Likewise, if someone uses a religious title like “High Priestess” or “Reverend,” they should be able to provide proof of their ordination.

This also goes for people who use secular titles. If someone goes by “Dr. So-and-So,” don't be afraid to ask what their doctorate is in! You'd be surprised how often people in wellness spaces pretend to be doctors because it makes them sound more authoritative.

Red Flag #2: They can't or won't tell you where they got their information and training.

This is similar to the previous red flag. A spiritual practitioner should be able to tell you who their teachers are, what their training was like, and what books and other resources they get their information from. This goes for witches, tarot readers, energy healers, yoga teachers, herbalists, and anyone else claiming to have some kind of authority or training.

If someone refuses to tell you where they got their information, there's probably a reason – maybe they don't have a source (i.e., they're making stuff up), or maybe they know their source won't hold up to scrutiny. Either way, these people are wasting your time.

Red Flag #3: They advise you to stop conventional medical treatments, stop taking prescription medications, and/or stop going to therapy.

This one should be self-explanatory, but just in case, let me remind you that spiritual practitioners are not medical professionals. No one except your physician should be telling you what medical treatment you should or shouldn't use. Even if it is framed as “just friendly advice,” a spiritual practitioner telling you what to do for your physical health is overstepping a boundary.

A trend I see a lot in spiritual spaces is the claim that psychiatric medication interferes with psychic abilities or makes it harder to work with energy. This is 1.) false, and 2.) ableist.

Taking medication to treat medical issues, including mental illness, does not have any negative spiritual effects. In fact, you may find your ability to work with energy is actually improved when your symptoms are properly treated.

Suddenly stopping a medication can have serious health consequences, such as withdrawal or worsening of symptoms. You should never stop taking your prescribed medication without talking to your doctor first.

On a similar note, spiritual practitioners are not therapists. If you are struggling with mental health issues, you should seek services from a licensed counselor. It is inappropriate for a spiritual practitioner to give mental health advice.

Red Flag #4: They diagnose people with medical conditions or give medical advice when they aren't a medical professional.

This is related to the previous red flag. Once again, spiritual practitioners are not medical professionals. Unless this person is also a licensed medical doctor, they should not be trying to diagnose you with medical conditions. (And even then, they would need to perform a medical exam to give a diagnosis.)

Some spiritual practitioners claim to be “medical psychics” or otherwise able to sense medical issues. This is not a valid medical diagnosis and is not a replacement for conventional medical care.

Red Flag #5: They give diet and exercise advice when they aren't a dietician.

Spiritual practitioners are not nutrition experts or physical therapists and are not qualified to give diet or exercise advice. There is no reason for a spiritual practitioner to be telling you what to eat or how to move your body.

Be especially wary of people who claim that you need to lose weight to advance spiritually or who tell you that your weight is a sign of spiritual issues. This is fatphobia, plain and simple. Weight and body size are caused by genetic and environmental factors, not by a lack of spiritual development. A person's spirituality has nothing to do with their size.

Red Flag #6: They try to sell you expensive products.

You do not need crystals, essential oils, herbal supplements, or any other tools to make your magic (or any spiritual practice) work. Anyone who insists that you absolutely need such-and-such crystal or such-and-such herbal tea is trying to make money off you.

Red Flag #7: They claim to be a reincarnated deity or spiritual leader OR they claim to speak for such a being.

Speaking from personal exprience as a former social worker, these claims ofen come from people who are in psychosis and need medical help. (Remember, psychosis just means someone is having experiences that are disconnected from reality. It does not mean that person is crazy, evil, or dangerous. Psychosis is a common medical condition and, like most medical conditions, it can be managed with medication and social support. That being said, psychosis is often accompanied by mental and emotional distress, which is why it's important to get help.)

We also sometimes see these types of claims used to mythologize the leaders of high-demand groups, a.k.a. cults. Whether the cult leader truly believes these claims or not is often unclear. (See the story of the “Love Has Won” cult for a fairly recent, high-profile example of this.)

Let me be clear: Lots of people have spiritual practices that involve working with gods, angels, saints, or other spirits, and many people feel that they receive messages from these spirits. That on its own is not necessarily a red flag. I'm also not really talking about therians or otherkin here – those identities can be totally healthy. What IS a red flag is if someone claims to speak for a supernatural being, epecialy if they claim to be that being's only earthly representative.

Red Flag #8: They claim to be “chosen” by a higher power and on a divine mission.

Like the previous red flag, this one is less about someone feeling like they have a spiritual calling and more about them claiming to have spiritual authority. A spiritual practitioner who feels like their life's purpose is to heal people is not necessarily a red flag. A spiritual practitioner who feels like their life's purpose is to be a world leader or otherwise control people is a red flag.

Red Flag #9: They subscribe to conspiracy theories or revisionist history.

Unfortunately, spiritual spaces can sometimes become an onramp to harmful conspiracies. Be wary of anyone who makes claims that are obviously out of touch with reality, even if you think they genuinely believe it.

Many conspiracies are closely tied to racist and/or antisemitic hate movements. Even conspiracy theories that seem silly at first glance, like the idea that the Egyptian pyramids were built by aliens, are based on racist ideas and can be a slippery slope into hateful thinking.

Red Flag #10: They try to push their religious or spiritual beliefs on you.

Obviously, if you ask someone to teach you about a spiritual practice, you are going to hear a little about their spiritual beliefs. In a class on witchcraft, I have to talk about witchcraft. But it would be inappropriate for me to use a witchcraft class to talk about my religious beliefs. It would also be inappropriate for me to invite my witchcraft students to a worship service or to pray over them without their consent. The same goes for other spiritual and wellness practices.

In my experiences it's actually not necessary to have a clear mind for everything every time. Completely emptying your mind isn't an easy thing either, and I don't have ADHD. It took me a long time and a lot of practice.

If you just can't, I don't think it's a big deal either. Work with what you have.

@windvexer has an excellent post with advice for witches with ADHD here.

I personally find that writing things down and reading them out loud helps on my monkey brain days. You can also record yourself and play it back as needed.

It also just isn’t necessary in my experience. You don’t need perfect focus to raise energy, program intent, enchant objects, call spirits, create sigils or thoughtforms, worship gods, cast a spell, or do anything.

Some methods of magic advise that having “bad thoughts” creep in (like distraction or doubt) ruins magic. But people with anxiety, OCD, adhd, psychosis, and other nd/mental health concerns do magic just fine!

I think the idea is supposed to be that a single bad/distracted thought is somehow able to imprint on your work and “taint” it, including somehow blocking the flow of power at all. I don’t see how that’s possible!

Full Moon Blessings!

Out here in the shadowed folds of the Blue Ridge, where the honeysuckle climbs like old secrets and the whippoorwills cry through the dusk, the Full Flower Moon rises in the sign of Scorpio today at 12:56 PM EST—and with her comes a reckoning.

This ain’t no sweet-smelling, soft-hearted moon, despite her name. She blooms like bloodroot—pretty, yes, but poisonous too. This is the flower that grows from the grave, the bloom that cracks the stone. Scorpio, being ruled by Mars and Pluto, don’t mess around. It digs deep, strips bare, and calls back what's been buried.

---------------------------------------------------

🌕Appalachian Wisdom Beneath the Scorpio Moon

In these mountains, May’s full moon was sometimes called the Planting Moon, the Hare Moon, or even the Moon of Snake Stirring—when the ground warms just enough to rouse what’s been sleeping low. Folk say this is the time when poisons grow potent and healing roots take hold. You best know the difference—and sometimes, the cure is the poison.

Old timers watched their dreams close this time of year. The veil ain’t thin like Samhain, but it’s slick—like creekstone. And what comes through under a Scorpio moon might be kinfolk, or might be something else altogether. Either way, best to leave an offering and sweep your thresholds.

---------------------------------------------------

🦂 Astrological Insights

This Full Moon sits in Scorpio at 24°, opposite the Taurus Sun, lighting up the axis of life and death, roots and fruits, holding and letting go.

With Mars in Leo squaring this moon, and Pluto retrograde in Aquarius, old power dynamics may rear their heads—but now’s the time to reclaim what was stolen or silenced. This moon don’t ask permission; she pulls truth from bone.

Scorpio governs the 8th house—deep transformation, shared power, taboo, and magic. If you’ve been avoiding the shadow, this moon will call it forth. Let it come. Name it. Work with it. Power lies in the places you’re afraid to touch.

---------------------------------------------------

🐍 Reflection for this Full Moon

What part of you have you buried that now wants to bloom?

Let this moon teach you the wild blooming of the witch’s heart—the way it blossoms where most would break. In the old way, we don’t fear the sting of the Scorpio moon. We work with it. We let it strip us raw, so we can see what’s real.

And we remember: not all flowers grow toward the sun. Some bloom in the dark and carry their own damn light.

---------------------------------------------------

Alright, this is my first time sharing a spell that I created, so I hope this works for others. I've always found it to be very helpful when suffering from anxiety-related insomnia, and it also works a treat for children suffering from nightmares, which was what spurred me to craft this in the first place.

This is a two-part spell, but if you lack components, you can just use the candle spell part.

---

Part One - Calming Night Balm

You will need:

15g beeswax or carnauba wax for a vegan alternative

10g shea butter

2 1/2 tbsp almond oil

2 tbsp jojoba oil

bain-marie (heat-proof bowl and a saucepan)

3 drops mandarin oil, 4 drops lemon balm, 5 drops chamomile, 5 drops lavender

lidded jars (I like the aluminium ones)

thermometer

labels

Sterilise the equipment by washing throroughly and then drying in an over at 140c (275f) or in a microwave for 30-45 seconds if microwave safe. Gently heat the wax, butter and carrier oils in the bain-marie until melted.

Once the ingredients are fully melted, pour carefully into your jars.

When the mixture is about 40c (104f), add your essential oils. I've opted for the above blend, but depending on your relationship with oils, you can adapt as needed. The noted amount of essential oils in the mixture works out at about 5%, so while this is safe for application to your body, I would avoid applying it to your face or more sensitive areas.

In regard to timing, I like to make this up on Mondays for a lunar connection to peaceful sleep and dreaming, or you could also time it with the Full Moon for some lunar oomph.

---

Part Two - Candle Spell

You will need:

Jade crystal (calming, balance, protection against negativity)

Indigo chime candle

Dried chamomile flower (calming, peace, healing) & cloves (protection against negative energy)

Lavender essential oil

Perform this before you go to bed.

Grind together the chamomile and cloves, I usually use about 1 tsp of chamomile and 2 tsp of cloves.

Anoint your candle with the oil and then roll in your ground herbs. I don't really work with sigils much, but if you do you could also carve a sigil into the candle at this stage.

Light your candle and hold onto your jade crystal. Visualise yourself sleeping deeply, visualise waking up from a restful nights sleep, refreshed and ready for the next day.

If you prepared the balm, apply this to your body as you visualise. If doing this for a someone else, have them hold the jade while you rub the balm into their skin and speak the visualisation over them.

I tend to use chime candles and will repeat this candle spell over a day or two, so often, I will blow out the candle once I've finished rubbing in the balm rather than wait for the candle to burn out. Also, a reminder to make sure the candle is extinguished before you go to sleep. Stay safe!
