🌒✨ Manifest Your Dreams with the Waxing Crescent ✨🌒

The waxing crescent moon is a time for action and manifestation. Historically, this phase has been used for initiating new projects and personal development.

As the moon grows, now especially under the effect of the Lion's Gate Portal, it's the perfect period to focus on growth, attraction, and drawing new opportunities into your life. This phase supports spells and rituals related to increasing prosperity, success, and advancing personal breakthroughs.

🕰️ Phase Duration: 4~5 days

🧙‍♀️ Suggested Traditional Ritual:

Take a cleansing bath with Epsom salt and a few drops of bergamot essential oil to prepare. Write your desires and intentions on a piece of paper, and light a green candle to symbolize growth and abundance. Hold a clear quartz or citrine to amplify your intentions, and chant: “With this flame, desires ignite, bringing forth my dreams tonight. So mote it be,” focusing intently on the feelings of your desires coming true. 🙌

Meditate on those feelings, intensifying them as the candle burns. When the candle is nearly out and you feel ready, safely burn the paper to release attachment from the specific way you imagine your desire - trusting the intelligent universe to manifest the best outcome for you. I suggest carrying the crystal with you to enhance the effects of the ritual, and cleanse it under the full moon.

Do something for yourself today

"If anyone would understand loneliness, the moon would."

Litha ( lee-thuh, lii-thuh) occurs during the Summer Solstice between June 19-22. Commonly referred to as Midsummer’s Night, Litha is believed to be a time when faerie folk pass into the human world at Twilight and offer blessings.

Litha is a time to celebrate time abundance and beauty of Mother Earth. The flowers are bloomed, gardens and farms are producing crops.  During Litha, modern witches and pagans celebrate to mark the peak of summer and to honor the Sun at its most powerful state. This time also marks new beginnings and possible shifts in all aspects of life.  . If you are just beginning a business, career, or a project, this is the perfect time to focus your energies in manifesting success in the few remaining months of the year. Alternatively, this can also be the perfect time to eliminate toxic behaviors that are stunting your progress.

Litha is a good time to align yourself with the powerful energies of the sun and summertime.  Everything is growing and expanding and now is the time to expand your ideas, business, goals or desires. And like all Wheel of the Year Sabbats, Litha is an opportunity to show gratitude for all that you have and thank Mother Earth for her bounty.  

Colors:  Blue, green, yellow, pink, purple (look to nature for the colors of Litha, as seen in the sky, woods and flowers)

Foods:  Honey, elderberry, strawberry, fennel, thyme, fresh greens, mead, light wines

Stones:  Peridot, diamond, emeralds, lapis lazuli

What will you be doing for Litha? 

- Blessed be

My new tarot deck!

I felt extremely pulled to this deck. I saw myself in it. As a black witch, representation is extremely necessary! This deck is extremely positive, clear in each card meaning, and the artwork is so beautiful...
