Learn all about the Autumn Equinox also called Mabon in some witch practices, in todays post by UK Witch and Tarot reader AJ
The wheel of the year continues to turn and it’s time for another feast day. The Autumn Equinox is here, to some practices, called Mabon (Mah-bon), after Welsh God Mabon, son of Earth Mother Goddess, Modron (who actually has nothing to do with the equinox…)
When is the Autumn Equinox / Mabon?
The Autumn Equinox almost always falls on either the 22nd or 23rd September (although in rare cases the window is from 21st September – 24th September at 02:03am BST.
In 2025, the Autumn Equinox is Monday 22nd September.
What is the Autumn Equinox?
The Autumn Equinox marks the end of summer and the beginning of Autumn, on this date, day and night are of equal length before the longer nights and shorter days start creeping in. Everything is at that perfect balance but also on the cusp of change.
What is Mabon?
Mabon is a feast in reconstructed paganism and the Wiccan faith, it only really started becoming labelled as Mabon around the 1970s but for many, the name kind of stuck.
Mabon is not only become the feast of the Autumm Equinox but also the Second Harvest, the Harvest of fruit and around the ‘harvest festival’ which some of you may remember from school. The Harvest Festival is traditionally celebrated on the Sunday nearest the harvest moon, the full moon nearest the Autumn Equinox.
It’s a time to reflect and celebrate on the year so far with the ‘reaping what you have sown’ mentality and seeing all of the benefits of your hard work so far.
For me, the most important part is the resting side. As the days grow darker and the nights grow longer, we are supposed to rest. After the feast and celebrating is done, we are supposed to retreat, use less energy and get through the winter. Like we used to before *capitalism*.
How can I celebrate the Equinox / Mabon?
Whether it’s making blackberry jam with your own little fruit harvest or just embracing the autumn aesthetic and adding some colour magic to your wardrobe, here are a bunch of things you can do to celebrate the equinox and Mabon, some low energy and some more intense:
Dress in Mabon colours: just as the leaves have changed, embrace earthy colours to match. Browns, deep reds, golds and dark greens
Eat Seasonal Food: I love to make a stew using squashes (like pumpkin) from the local organic green grocer. Hopefully next year I’ll be able to grow my own! if that’s a little too much, an apple pie from McDonald’s is also valid.
Go Blackberry picking: Get your own little harvest, you can use these to make blackberry jam, pies and syrups or even just eat them with sugar and be thankful for the bounty. This is generally the last time the berries are still good.
Hold a thanksgiving ritual: Write a letter to the universe of everything you’re thankful for this year so far. You can make it proper witchy by burning the list on the day of the Equinox and releasing that thankful energy into the universe
Light a candle: With the nights growing longer we’ll need to bring more light in, I use yellow / gold candles to symbolise that the sun will return.
Wind down and get comfy: This is the time when we’re supposed to rest and hibernate so do not feel guilty about grabbing a blanket and settling in with a cup of tea and a good book. It’s what we’re supposed to be doing and it’s a ritual in itself.
Channel Great Aunt Calpurnia with these beauty spells and rituals to help your inner Goddess, shine.
We’ve all heard of Great Aunt Calpurnia, who according to our Goth Mother Morticia Addams,
“she danced naked in the town square and enslaved a minister”
and wish to emulate her terrifying power. So I have brought together some of my favourite simple beauty rituals to help us embody this queen.
Beauty rituals can be much more than skincare routines and makeup applications—they can be powerful acts of self-care and magic. By incorporating witchcraft into your beauty regimen, you can enhance your natural radiance and infuse your daily practices with intention and spiritual energy. Here are some witchy beauty tips, rituals, and spells to help you glow from the inside out.
Our Queen: Great Aunt Calpurnia
1. Moon Water Facial Toner
I love working with moonwater and make sure to wash my face with moon water the first morning after I make a batch to really set my intentions. Moon water, charged under the moonlight, is also a magical tool for cleansing and refreshing your skin. Here’s how to make, use and store it:
How to Make Moon Water:
Fill a glass jar (Ideally with a lid if putting outside over night) with clean, filtered or tap water.
Place the jar under the light of the full moon overnight to charge it with lunar energy. This can be in your bedroom, on a self by a window etc if you don’t have access to outdoor space.
In the morning, seal the jar and store it in a cool, dark place.
How to Use:
Use moon water as a facial toner by applying it with a cotton pad after cleansing your face. Visualise the lunar energy infusing your skin with clarity and radiance…..Or just splash it on there, like I do!
How to Store Moon water:
To use through to the next moonphase, freeze your moonwater into icecubes so you have easy access to a daily dose until you can make your next batch.
I am forever congested and in Summer when hayfever strikes, it can be very unpleasant so I’ve been rather fond of Herbal steams. Snazzy, eh? Herbal steams open pores, cleanse impurities, and infuse your skin with the benefits of natural herbs. They also provide a moment of relaxation and meditation as well as helping you sound less like a railway station tannoy. Multipurpose.
Ingredients:
Dried herbs like chamomile, lavender, rosemary, or rose petals.
A large bowl of hot water. (Be careful not to put boiling water into anything that will crack like glass, learn from my mistakes, coven!)
How to Perform:
Add a handful of dried herbs to the hot water.
Cover your head with a towel and lean over the bowl, allowing the steam to envelop your face.
Breathe deeply, relax, and visualise the herbal energy purifying and revitalising your skin.
I like to add music which matches the energy I am trying to tap into as well but you can do this in silence and just really lean into the relaxation part….just don’t fall asleep.
We are all bloody beautiful inside and out and I refuse to hear anyone say otherwise, no, really. Ssssh with that self hate, I see you, pretty thing ❤ This simple spell harnesses the power of natural ingredients and positive affirmations to enhance your skin’s glow. So you feel all lovely inside and out, like you deserve!
Ingredients:
Honey (for hydration and healing).
Milk or yogurt (for exfoliation and softness).
A small bowl.
How to Perform:
Mix a tablespoon of honey with a tablespoon of milk or yogurt in a small bowl.
Stir clockwise (to bring in good intentions) while repeating a positive affirmation like:
“As I nourish my skin, my inner and outer beauty shine brightly.”
or
“I am the baddest bitch in these streets, so even my skin, like my life tastes honey sweet”
….say whatever just have fun with it. Make it yours, ok? The magick always works better that way ; )
3. Apply the mixture to your face and leave it on for 15-20 minutes.
4. Rinse with warm water, feeling the spell’s energy infusing your skin with radiance.
You can add other ingredients to your mask with more ideas here:
We seriously don’t need another excuse to get a crystal out and start getting the vibrations up. So, since we’ve all brought so many of the bloody things and we can’t just keep telling people that they are just for decoration, you’ll be happy to know that that you can now tell people that crystals are powerful tools in witchcraft, and their energies can be infused into beauty oils for added magic. See, I got you. This is a coven. I’m never going to tell you that you have enough crystals. Ever. If anything, get more. Support local businesses.
Ingredients:
Carrier oil (such as jojoba or almond oil).
Crystals like rose quartz (for love and beauty), amethyst (for calm and healing), or clear quartz (for amplification).
A small glass bottle or jar.
How to Make:
Place a cleansed crystal into the glass bottle or jar.
Fill the bottle with the carrier oil.
Let the oil infuse with the crystal’s energy for at least 24 hours.
How to Use:
Use the crystal-infused oil as a moisturiser or massage oil, visualising its energy enhancing your beauty and well-being.
Don’t worry I’ll post a full focus piece on crystals and beauty magic soon!
If you’re anything like me, then everything you do demands a pinch of glamour and so washing one’s self is no different. A glamour bath is a luxurious way to enhance your natural allure and boost your confidence.
Ingredients:
Sea salt (for cleansing).
Rose petals (for love and beauty).
Lavender (for relaxation).
A few drops of essential oils like rose or jasmine.
A candle.
How to Perform:
Run a warm bath and add the sea salt, rose petals, lavender, and essential oils.
Light a candle and place it near the bath.
Enter the bath and soak, visualizing any negative energy washing away and being replaced by a radiant glow.
Focus on a glamour affirmation such as:
“I am radiant, beautiful, and confident in my skin.”
For many of us the act of putting on makeup is a sacred ritual in itself – life is a performance after all, girlhood is a concept and witchcraft is fun…so why not transform your makeup routine into a magical ritual with these simple practices?
Intentional Application: As you apply each product, focus on your intention. For example, as you apply foundation, visualise it as a protective shield that enhances your natural beauty. I love using this Korean Missha brand BB Cream with SPF40 as I am all about the sunscreen.
Symbolic Shapes: Draw small, discreet symbols or sigils with your makeup (e.g., a small pentacle with eyeliner) to imbue your look with magical energy.
Bless Your Products: Hold each makeup product in your hands and say a blessing, charging it with your desired intention (e.g., “May this lipstick bring me confidence and charm”). If you are able to, place them in a moonlit spot to charge and cleanse them.
Cleanse your products: Burning incense over your items will help cleanse them and remove toxic energies. I don’t know about you but I know where I’ve ended up some nights so it’s good to regulary do this.
7. Hair Enchantment
Some ancient cultures believed a womans hair to be able to enslave men and was a source for evil. So in celebration of our ancestors here are some ways that you can use your hair to be a conduit for magical energy:
Herbal Rinses: Create herbal rinses with rosemary (for growth), chamomile (for shine), or sage (for protection). After washing your hair, pour the rinse over your hair as a final step, visualizing its magical properties infusing your strands.
Crystal Combs: Use a comb with crystal handles or embed small crystals in the handle of your brush. As you brush your hair, visualise the crystal’s energy enhancing your hair’s strength and beauty. Also great to help cleanse any toxic energy from your precious strands.
Braiding Spells: As you braid your hair, focus on weaving in your intentions. For example, a simple three-strand braid can represent body, mind, and spirit harmony. You can even do a top twists version of this which I like to do when I really want my hair of the way.
Enchanting Oils: Use oils such as coconut or almond oil inflused with ingrediants and intentions. Our South Asian girlies have also bestrowed upon use the knowledge of Rosemary oil, which has been trending all over tiktok but you can make your own at home as well. We are forever grateful. THANK YOU. When I’m time senstive this is my go to for hair oil: Natures Choice Rosemary oil
Create beauty charms to carry with you or keep in your beauty area to enhance your magical energy. I like to enchant a mirror compact and it’s contents to carry it around with me. I’m also prone to carrying little witch bags or even mini witch bottles with specific intents attached to them (I’ll make a post about these soon)
Ingredients:
A small pouch.
Crystals (like rose quartz or amethyst).
Herbs (like lavender or rose petals).
A written intention or affirmation.
How to Make:
Fill the pouch with the crystals, herbs, and written intention.
Hold the pouch in your hands and charge it with your desired energy, visualising your intention being amplified.
How to Use:
Keep the charm in your purse, pocket, or near your beauty products to continually boost your magical energy. If it’s a witch bottle, you can take it out now and then to give it a lil shake to futher activate it (or get your rage out, either/or)
9. Morning and Night Rituals
Incorporate magical rituals into your morning and night routines to set the tone for your day and ensure a restful night. As an ADHD witch, keeping a sleep routine has been key to improving my mental health, getting into a regular routine (and thus not fucking my life up as much, which reduces stress, huzzah!) and ‘discovering mornings’ has really helped me navigate life. I now wake up around 6/6.30am each morning to get a ritual, journaling or art in to help supercharge my day. I also do the same at night, but do my meditations as I go to sleep, as it helps me drop off and keep the speeding thoughts at bay (Big Shout out to my ‘brain never shuts up ever‘ people in the audience, I see you and we’ve got this…kinda!).
Morning Ritual:
Start with a few deep breaths and a positive affirmation. Again these could be beautiul and well thought out affirmations or they can also be funny and energy lifting such as looking into the mirror and going:
Oh my gwad, look at that fine example of an ass. And, wait, what, I own this ass? I grew this myself? I manifested this magnifciant superior, posterior, you say?! Well, lets see what else amazing I will manifest today”
2. Cleanse your face with moon water or a herbal cleanser. Also, slather on SPF50. Trust your fabulous Witch Aunt on this one, you’ll thank me when you’re older.
3.Apply crystal-infused oil or your favorite moisturizer with intention, visualizing your desired outcome for the day.
Cleanse your face and remove any makeup, visualising the day’s stress washing away.
Apply a soothing lotion or serum, infused with lavender oil for relaxation.
Spend a few moments in meditation, focusing on gratitude and self-love.
Now remember darlings, use these beauty tips to help you feel even more love for yourself and remember, when you start to feel a bit low in the old self esteem remember, what would Great Aunt Calpurnia say to you?
Exactly. Stop crying over rat people who don’t deserve you and go enslave some ministers. Eat the rich, I dunno, go create chaos. I believe in you.
By incorporating these witchy beauty tips, rituals, and spells into your routine, you can enhance not only your physical appearance and malevolent allure but also your spiritual well-being. Embrace the magic within and let your inner and outer beauty shine brightly my pretties, mwahaha!

We’re exploring the history of pumpkin spice, its intriguing ties to witchcraft, and how it’s become an essential part of our seasonal rituals
Spooky Season: It’s that time again.
As the crisp winds of autumn sweep through the land, a familiar aroma fills the air, beckoning us with its warm, comforting embrace. It’s the enchanting scent of pumpkin spice, a blend that transcends the boundaries of flavors and invokes the essence of Autumn and mania in shopping aisles. Today, we’re exploring the rich history of pumpkin spice, its intriguing ties to folklore and witchcraft, and how this magical mixture has become an essential part of our seasonal rituals and coffee orders.
The Origins of Pumpkin Spice:
Pumpkin spice, that delightful combination of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger, traces its roots back to ancient civilizations. Spices like cinnamon and nutmeg were highly prized in ancient Egypt and India, not only for their culinary uses but also for their medicinal and mystical properties.
Pumpkin Spice: Folklore and Harvest Celebrations:
The association between pumpkin spice and folklore can be traced to the autumn harvest festivals celebrated by various cultures. Pumpkins, as a quintessential fall crop, were often featured prominently in these celebrations. The spices used in pumpkin spice blends were believed to have protective and purifying qualities. In some traditions, these spices were sprinkled around homes to ward off malevolent spirits and ensure a bountiful harvest.
Pumpkin spice, with its aromatic blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger, is more than just a popular flavor of the colder seasons. For witches, it holds a special place in their magical arsenal. Let’s explore the magical properties of the ingredients in pumpkin spice and why it’s a beloved staple in the witch’s pantry.

Cinnamon, a key component of pumpkin spice, is associated with the element of fire, making it a potent ingredient in magical practices. Its magical properties include:
Passion and Love: Cinnamon is known for kindling the flames of passion and enhancing love spells. It can help rekindle the spark in relationships or attract new romance.
Protection: Cinnamon is also used for protective magic, creating a barrier against negative energies and malevolent forces.
Abundance: Cinnamon can be used to bring about abundance and encourage wealth. . Many believe cinnamon has a very high spiritual/energetic vibrations that attract luck
Witches have long appreciated the power of herbs and spices in their magical practices. Pumpkin spice, with its warm and grounding properties, is a favorite among modern witches for several reasons:
Seasonal Connection: Pumpkin spice is closely tied to the autumn season when the veil between worlds is believed to be thin. It aligns with the earthy, grounding energies of Autumn, making it an ideal addition to spells and rituals during this time.
Harmony and Balance: The spices in pumpkin spice, individually and collectively, promote balance, harmony, and warmth. Witches use it to create a harmonious atmosphere in their homes and rituals.
Transformation and Transition: Autumn is a season of change, and pumpkin spice embodies the transformative energy of this season. Witches utilise it to facilitate personal growth and navigate life’s transitions.
Connection with Ancestors: Pumpkin spice’s popularity during holidays like Samhain and Halloween also makes it a potent tool for connecting with ancestors and spirit guides.
Comfort and Hearth Magic: The warm, comforting scent of pumpkin spice can create a cozy atmosphere conducive to meditation, divination, or simply relaxing by the hearth.
Protection and Purification: Individual spices within pumpkin spice, such as cinnamon and cloves, are known for their protective and purifying qualities, making them valuable tools in warding off negative energies.
Enhancing Psychic Abilities: Nutmeg, another component of pumpkin spice, is associated with enhancing psychic abilities and intuition, making it a valuable addition to divination practices.
Further Uses For Pumpkin Spice:
Beyond its magical properties, pumpkin spice has become a beloved flavor of the Autumn season. From lattes to candles, this aromatic blend has permeated our daily lives and rituals. Here are a few lifestyle elements where pumpkin spice shines:
Culinary Delights: Pumpkin spice finds its way into a wide array of dishes, from pies and muffins to soups and cookies. It’s a comforting and indulgent flavor that reminds us of the harvest season.
Aromatherapy: Pumpkin spice-scented candles and essential oils offer a delightful way to infuse our homes with the cozy ambiance of Autumn.
Self-Care Rituals: Many incorporate pumpkin spice into self-care routines, whether through homemade face masks, bath salts, or even as an ingredient in natural perfumes
Pumpkin spice, with its deep historical roots, ties to folklore, and its embrace by modern witches, has become a symbol of autumn’s magic. As you savor that pumpkin spice latte or light a pumpkin spice candle, remember the ancient wisdom and enchantment this delightful blend carries with it. Whether you’re indulging in a seasonal treat or infusing your witchcraft with its warm essence, pumpkin spice is a reminder that the magic of the season is always at hand.

Green Witchery is the theme of Tarot Reader, Emma’s latest project – growing herbs and using them in her witchcraft. Nice.
What I am doing
Well dear coven, it’s finally happened – I only got some outdoor space and finally started growing my own herbs. I am unbelievably excited about this fact, maybe too excited but here is the low down on my little green adventure:
What Herbs am I growing?
I am currently growing six different herbs in three seperate herb boxes in this batch and they are as follows:
Chive, Sage and Thyme – These grow well together and as I am growing the Sage in there too, I don’t want too many aggressive plants together.
Mint – this is an aggressive plant according to my research so it was recommended that you grow it separately where possible.
All the herbs together, auw.
Magickal uses for Herbs :
Basil – Protection and wards of negative energies, prosperity and wealth, abundance, loving vibrations
Chive – Health, protection of home and body,
Thyme – Attracts loyalty, love and helps support Psychic abilities
Parsley – Creates power and strength also for passion, purification, and prosperity.
Mint – encourages strength, abundance, good communication and protection
Sage – Cleansing and warding of negative energy wisdom, longevity and health
Why start growing my own now?
Living in London outdoor space is a bit of a luxury so having spent the last 10 years with just a balcony I was desperate to get my inner cottage core Queen out and get a little herb situation going on in my very own garden. I finally got to move house last year and after settling in I have no excuse not to do it, so here we are. I’ve deliberately started my gardening experience in a very basic and lowlight way to start with but hopefully it will bloom into something more fruitful over the years. Who doesn’t like a fulfilling hobby, huh? Especially when you can make spells and snacks out of it.
How am I growing herbs?
I generally woke up and decided today ‘I’m going to start growing some herbs and see what happens’
So I used my ADHD superpowers to help me find the quickest solution to make the magick happen.
The Herb Growing Kit:
I got the planting containers from Amazon* – these are to settle them in and grow them out a wee bit and then I’ll get something more swanky and permanent. If successful I will then begin the process again with new herbs. Exciting times indeed.
Top Level: Compost, live plants, seeds and some planting containers.
Compost – I got a cheap condensed packet Poundland where you just add water and et voila, you’ve got a huge bag of compost! I am not going to lie, that part of the process was really fun.
I brought the live plants from supermarkets. In some cases we got them reduced,so technically we saved some of them. Auw. I had previous success growing a fresh live basil from the supermarket reduced aisle so I was hopeful my impulsive gardening episode would be just as successful.
Finally, some ‘Grow your one Christmas Dinner’ pack of seeds that I also acquired at Poundland also got planted in the boxes and I will report back on any progress with that in a few months.
I wanted to do this approach to show that anyone can have a go – there are no promises that we will be successful but we’re currently looking good!
(Green) fingers crossed that this little experiment of mine goes well and if it does I will certainly do it again as I find being in the garden and/or growing things really soothes me. It’s now become an important feature of my everyday practice with me setting my intentions into my plants and watching them grow with my attention – certainly useful as practice for mindfulness.
The Mint is settling in nicely.
So our next stop? Seeking the pots to put them in full time, deciding which recipes and spells to concoct with my new fresh garden annnd what should I grow next?
Have you been inspired to get your grow own – or are you a Green witch with some tips to share? Let us know below in the comments or via social media as we love to hear from you!
UK Tarot Reader and Witch Emma teaches us about the enchanting world of Moon water and the ways it supercharges your witchcraft.
The New Moon is in Virgo on the 15th September so I thought it would be timely to learn more about the enchanting world of Moon water and the ways it supercharges your witchcraft. Whether you’re a seasoned witch or just dipping your toes into the magical waters, harnessing the power of the Moon and its cycles can add a celestial touch to your craft. Plus….it’s really bloody fun. Who doesn’t like making a lil ceremony out of things, huh?
Today, we’re gonna dive into the process of making Moon water during the new Moon and explore the ways you can use this elixir in your spells and rituals.
Making Moon Water:
How to make Moon water from your very own home is simple, just follow the below instructions.
What you will need to make moon water:
A clean glass or crystal container – preferably with a lid
Pure, clean water – spring or filtered works best and tap is fine
A quiet, sacred space under the night sky – if you don’t have access to any outdoor space then a shelf or window sill works.
Patience and intent – Make sure you know what your New Moon intentions are before you begin the Moon Water process.
Now you have everything that you need please follow these next steps to make your New Moon Water.
Choose Your Moon Water Container: Select a clear, glass or crystal container for your Moon water. The container should be clean and free from any contaminants especially if you plan to drink the water. If you can only get clear plastic etc that is fine.
Setting the Stage: Find a quiet, sacred space outdoors where you can place your container. The new Moon phase is the ideal time to connect with the Moon’s energy, as it represents new beginnings and fresh intentions.If you don’t have access to outside space then you can store your Moon water on a shelf or window sill so it can bask in the Moonlight.
Fill Your Container: Pour your chosen water into the container and make sure that it is sealed tight so no little nasties get in there! [Optional] You can also add herbs and other ingredients to help flavour the water and/or build the intent.
Select Your Crystal [optional]: Placing a crystal by your water can infuse it with additional energy. Quartz crystals are versatile and work well for most intentions, but you can choose one that resonates with your specific goal. PLEASE NOTE: Putting crystals in the water is risky so please don’t do this or check with an expert before you do if you plan to consume the water.
Set Your Intentions: As you place your container in the Moonlight, focus on your intentions for this Moon water. What do you want to manifest in your life? Visualise this goal and set the water with your intent/manifestation. [Optional] You can write down on a piece of paper your goals and leave by the Moon water to set your intent and/or you can read aloud your intentions when placing your water in it’s charging location. I like to use music to get me into the magickal head space as well.
Leave It to Charge: Leave the container under the Moonlight for the entire night, ideally from the moment the new Moon is visible until dawn. We all have different life and sleep patterns so these times may vary.
Retrieve Your Moon Water: When you wake up, collect your container. Your Moon water is now charged with the energy of the new Moon and your intentions.
Now, it’s time to use that Moon water to make some magick and there are plenty of ways to use Moon water in your practice.
Now that you’ve crafted yourself some snazzy lil’ Moon water, let’s explore the fascinating ways you can integrate it into your witchcraft. We’ll go more in depth into these ways in further posts but for a general idea:
Spellwork and Rituals: Moon water is a versatile ingredient in spellcasting. Use it to consecrate tools, anoint candles, or enhance the potency of your spells.
Cleansing and Purification: Sprinkle Moon water around your home to cleanse and purify the energy. You can also add a few drops to your bath for a spiritually refreshing experience.
Housework: If you really want to go all the way when it comes to purification and cleansing your space, you can even use Moon water in your housework and daily chores. Adding Moon water to a mix of water and salt is a fabulous cleanser for your floor. Mirror magic? Mixing Moon water with salt and vinegar is great for cleaning your mirrors which capture a lot of energy and can be powerful tools for spell work.
You could even use a larger container especially for the storaging of Moon water for use in cleansing your home throughout the cycle. Now, that is dedication!
Divination Enhancer: Dab Moon water on your third eye (forehead) before a tarot reading or scrying session to enhance your intuitive abilities. You could also do this before bed to encourage psychic dreams.
Meditation Aid: Sip a small amount of Moon water before meditation or bedtime to help you connect with your inner self and the lunar energies.
Dream Magic: Place a glass of Moon water on your nightstand to encourage lucid and vivid dreaming. Some witches believe it aids in dream interpretation. Putting Moon water on your pulse points before bed can also encourage intuitive dreams.
Charging Crystals and Talismans: Use Moon water to cleanse and charge your crystals and talismans, amplifying their metaphysical properties.
Anointing Tools: Dip your wand, or other magical tools in Moon water to enhance their magical potency. Also great for jewellery and other magical apprael.
Blessing and Protection: Create a protective circle by sprinkling Moon water around your sacred space before rituals or spellcasting.
Beauty and Self-Care: Incorporate moon water into your skincare routine to promote clear, radiant skin and a sense of inner and outer beauty. You can even use Moon water in the bath and wash your face and hair with that extra magical touch. Just make sure to visualise what you are manifesting as you do.
Manifestation: Use Moon water to water plants, symbolizing the nurturing of your intentions and goals (more on this later in the month!). You can also drink it as you visualise your manifestation goals
Cooking and Kitchen Witchery – Using Moon water as an ingredient and to boil things such as tea or pasta helps adds a little extra magic into your meals. You can also use a few drops within stocks to freeze and spread the intention through the Month. Nice!
Crafting Moon water during the new Moon and infusing it with your intentions is a delightful way to tap into the Moon’s magical energy. It’s certainly one of the simplest ways to get into practicing monthly rituals and is for beginner witches. Whether you’re using it in spellwork, cleansing, or self-care, the possibilities for its uses can be tailored to your practice! So, grab your crystals, set your intentions, and let the magic of Moon water help energenise your magic and manifestations 🌙🔮✨
The next New Moon is 15th September 2023 and will be in Virgo. This is the best time to set your intentions due to it being the last New Moon before Eclipse Season kick starts from 14th October. Eclipses can be chaotic so I don’t personally manifest during time (I learn from my mistakes!) so I use this time to plant the seeds and build the foundations of what I am manifesting before taking a lil break until after eclipse season ends on the 28th Oct.
The remaining New Moons for 2023 are:
14th October 2023
New Moon – New Hunter’s Moon
13th November 2023
New Moon – New Beaver Moon
12th December 2023
New Moon – New Cold Moon
