#1 Witchy things to do to welcome the monsoon
Clouds heap upon clouds and it darkens.
Ah, love, why dost thou let me
wait outside at the door all alone?
Water 💧 and Nature 🌿 witches gather! Let's celebrate and honour the rainy season
Perform spells✨ that nourish, cleanse and rejuvenate
Water element is associated with emotions. Time to do some emotional work in your Book of Shadows.📖
Decorate your altar to welcome the season with - flowers/leaves that bloom this time of the year, a mound of wet earth (hmmmm I love the smell of wet mud when it's about to 🌧️) or anything else you associate with rain
Collect rain water for spellwork!
Go outside and notice the insects and life coming out from under the ground 🦗🐛🐜🐞🐸🐸
Stay indoors and brew a cauldron of hot cocoa ☕ or chai 🍵
Awaken your inner child and go dancing in the rain
Even better, gather your coven sisters and dance in the rain together 👯👯♂️
Collect fallen leaves 🍁🍂 and flowers🌸🏵️
Take a nice long hot bath with salts and crystals ♨️
Since you'll be shut-in most of the season, cook or bake seasonal treats 🍛🍲🥘 to share with your coven sisters or neighbors
If you're affected by the gloomy weather, lighten up your altar space by adding some bright colors
Don't forget to stack your broom closet with ☔ s and raincoats
Go out and connect with tree spirits and woodland spirits
While it's stormy outside, get comfy and cosy and watch your favourite witchy movies
Lay down and stare at the dark grey clouds ☁️🌪️
Take in the beauty of nature filled with greens, browns, blues and grey this time of the year and try painting it.
Listen to some monsoon melodies🎶🎵 while you go about your witchy chores.
