Gay blog of fun, nude men, and magick.

Here's a few ideas of what to do to practice your craft in the middle of summer, whether you're on holidays or sweating it at the office....

🌞 Solar witches: meditate and charge your energy in the sunlight. This is my most important advice: the sun has many magical properties which you must store inside of you for the darker months ahead.

🌿 Green witches: use the sun to dry fresh herbs and plants. You can either lay them out outside or hang them in your ceiling. Take the opportunity of the warm temperatures to store as much as you can for your future spells.

🌊 Sea witches: spend as much time in water as possible. The ocean, lakes, pools, your bathtub if need be. August is a time for a pause and intuition, to think about what comes next in your life and in the year. Water is perfect for such work.

🎀 Cottage witches: if you can, host a bonfire night. Bring your closest friends and sit around the flames, to think about what you need, to whisper your biggest dreams and aspirations to the spirits, to conjure them into existence.

🔮 Divination witches: look for shapes and patterns in your tea and your bread. This is an old folk practice I particularly love this time of year, especially near the Lammas festival. Divination using tea leaves or grains are particularly strong right now.

🐈‍⬛ Shadow witches: escape the sunlight and connect with the moon instead. If you can be there for the solar eclipse on August 12th, 2026, that's even better - you'll do your best work that night.
