A new month is like a mini New Year—full of fresh energy, untapped potential, and a chance to reset your Magickal practice. Whether you’re a seasoned witch or just love a little mystical flair in your routine, there are countless enchanting ways to honour this monthly transition. Here are some of my favourite witchy ways to welcome the start of the month with style, intention, and a sprinkle of enchantment.

Perform a Monthly Tarot or Oracle Card Reading
Tarot and oracle cards are powerful tools for guidance, reflection, and setting the tone for the weeks ahead. A simple monthly spread can help you focus your energy and prepare for what’s coming. It’s also a great way to practice tarot reading if you are a beginner:
How to Do It:
- Shuffle your deck while thinking: “What energy should I focus on this month?”
- Pull three cards:
- Card 1: Theme of the month
- Card 2: A challenge to be aware of
- Card 3: Advice for navigating the month
- Journal your insights and revisit them weekly.
Why It Works:
Tarot helps you tap into your intuition and align with the cyclical nature of time. It’s like having a mystical roadmap!

Cleanse Your Space with Smoke or Sound
A new month calls for a fresh, clean energy in your home. Smoke cleansing (with herbs like sage, rosemary, or your preferred cleanser – I’m partial to cinnamon and use it everyday..see cinnamon section below) or sound cleansing (with bells, singing bowls, or even clapping) can clear out stagnant vibes.
How to Do It:
- Light a cleansing bundle (or use an incense stick) and walk through each room, wafting smoke into corners and doorways.
- Say aloud: “I release what no longer serves me and welcome in positive energy.”…I’ve also been known to just bash a frying pan, opening my windows and screaming at negative energy to leave my house – as always here at Digital Coven, do what feels right for you.
- Alternatively, ring a bell or chime in each room to vibrationally cleanse the space.
Why It Works:
Energetic cleansing helps reset your environment, making it easier to manifest new goals.

Sprinkle Cinnamon at Your Door for Abundance
Cinnamon isn’t just for lattes (but for sure you can use them ritually in your coffee) —it’s a powerful prosperity herb! Sprinkling it at your doorstep at the start of the month invites wealth, success, and positive energy into your home.
How to Do It:
- On the first day of the month, take a pinch of ground cinnamon.
- Stand at your front door and say:
“As this cinnamon lies here, abundance draws near.” - Sprinkle it in a line across your threshold (or just inside the door). You can also put it on your palm and blow it out of the door for the same effect.
Why It Works:
Cinnamon has long been used in money magic for its fiery, fast-acting energy. Placing it at your door symbolically welcomes prosperity into your life. You can also use a stick of it every morning to stir your coffee for a daily Abundance ritual, just make sure to stir the intention clockwise towards yourself.
Above is an example of using cinnamon in a morning ritual.

Cleanse Your Home with Herbs & Salt
A new month calls for a fresh, clean energy in your space. A herbal floor sweep or salt cleanse clears out stagnant vibes and resets the energy.
How to Do It:
- Mix salt (black salt for protection and/or sea salt for cleansing) with dried rosemary, bay leaves, clove and/or sage.
- Sprinkle it across your floors (especially near doorways), then sweep or vacuum it up while visualising negativity being removed.
- Say: “Out with the old, in with the new. This space is cleansed and renewed.” or whatever phrase you feel has your required intent.
Why It Works:
Salt is purifying, and herbs like rosemary boost clarity and protection. Together, they create a powerful reset for your home.
Lay a Protective Salt Barrier at Your Doorstep
Want to keep negative energy out all month long? A protective salt line at your doorstep acts like magical security.
How to Do It:
- Use black salt, red brick dust, or regular sea salt mixed with protective herbs (like rosemary or thyme).
- Draw a thin line across your doorstep (outside or inside) while saying:
“No harm may enter, only good may stay. This salt protects me night and day.” - Reapply monthly or after heavy rain.
Why It Works:
Salt has been used for centuries as a spiritual barrier. This simple trick keeps your home energetically safe.

Host a Simple Abundance Ritual
The start of the month is a great time to invite prosperity—whether financial, emotional, or spiritual. A simple abundance ritual can set the tone.
How to Do It:
- Light a green or gold candle (colors of wealth).
- Hold a coin or dollar bill and say:
“Money flows to me easily, and my blessings multiply.” - Place the money in your wallet as a prosperity charm for the month.
Why It Works:
Rituals program your subconscious to attract abundance by aligning your energy with gratitude and openness.
Refresh Your Altar for the New Month
If you have a witchy altar, the start of the month is the perfect time to rearrange, cleanse, and rededicate it. I am very guilty of having a messy altar so no shame here, darlings!
How to Do It:
- Dust off and cleanse crystals/statuettes.
- Swap out seasonal decor (flowers, colors, symbols).
- Add a new offering (a crystal, fresh herbs, or a written intention).
Why It Works:
An updated altar reflects your current energy and keeps your practice vibrant.

Brew a Monthly Intentional Tea or Potion
Kitchen witchery is an easy way to blend magic into daily life. Brew a monthly intention tea to sip while setting goals.
How to Do It:
- Choose herbs like:
- Peppermint (fresh starts)
- Lavender (calm)
- Ginger (motivation)
- Stir clockwise while whispering your desires into the cup.
Why It Works:
Drinking infused teas internalizes your intentions in a soothing, magical way.

Take a Ritual Bath for Renewal
A monthly cleansing bath washes off old energy and prepares you for new beginnings.
How to Do It:
- Add Epsom salt, rosemary, or rose petals to your bath.
- Light candles and say:
“I release the past and welcome this new chapter.”
Why It Works:
Water is a purifying element, and ritual baths are a form of spiritual reset.
The start of a new month is ripe with magic—whether you prefer tarot, cleansing, spellwork, or simple mindful rituals. Pick one (or mix a few!) to set the tone for a month full of intention and enchantment.
Which one will you try first? Let me know in the comments! ✨
(Note: Always practice fire safety, and remember—magic is as much about mindset as it is about ritual.)
