The Magick of a Lemon
Lemons have long held a place in witchcraft due to their powerful cleansing, protection, and love-drawing properties. Their bright, sun-kissed energy is associated with purification, renewal, and the dispelling of negativity. Because of their sharp, acidic nature, lemons are often used in spells to cut away unwanted energy, break curses, and remove hexes.
Wintering for Witches: Embracing the Dark Half of the Year
As the days grow shorter and the nights stretch long, witches enter a period known as wintering—a sacred time of rest, reflection, and renewal. Unlike the energy of spring and summer, where magic thrives in growth and manifestation, winter invites witches to turn inward, reconnect with their inner world, and embrace the stillness of the season.
Mabon - A Witches Thanksgiving
Mabon is one of my favourite sabbats. Perhaps I’m biased because my birthday falls right before Mabon. Being based in Australia, we can still enjoy this autumnal celebration even if we are in opposite seasons to the northern hemisphere.
As I write this, we are in somewhat of a heat wave and the Summer has been long. I now look forward to the cooler temperatures and watching nature change and begin its big sleep. Mabon is the time for the light to change and the leaves of trees to start to fall so that it may rest and rejuvenate and then bloom fresh for spring and summer again.
Spiritual House Cleansing & Blessings
I’m a big advocate for cleansing the home or even my workspace on the regular. Working with a lot of energy when I am doing reiki, reading tarot or even just when I’m just out and about can bring strange and unusual feelings of sticky energy. Once we recognise these energies we know that they are just a part of life and know exactly what to do to clear or move them on.
