The Buck Moon

Image
The Buck Moon is the traditional name given to the full moon in the month of July. This name comes from Native American and Colonial American traditions, which often named each full moon based on seasonal changes in nature. The "Buck Moon" refers specifically to the time of year when the antlers of male deer (bucks) are in full growth mode, covered in velvety fur as they regenerate. It is a time that symbolizes strength, renewal, and natural cycles of growth. Spiritually, the Buck Moon carries deep meaning. It is a lunar phase associated with the themes of transformation, maturation, and the embodiment of inner power. Just as the buck grows its antlers to maturity during this time, the Buck Moon invites us to consider how we are developing our own sense of strength, identity, and purpose. This moon is often viewed as a time of rising energy. The spiritual qualities of the Buck Moon encourage reflection on how we are stepping into our personal power and how we are taking res...

Angel Signs

 Angel Signs Feathers If you see a feather in an unusual place, or it floats down to you unexpectedly, then an angel is letting you know of their presence. It may be any size, shape or colour, and it may be in response to your request for assistance, or simply to reassure or comfort you during a difficult time. A white feather will arrive at a time when you are most in need, to let you know you are not alone. Rainbows Rainbows have well known scientific explanations. But have you ever stared at a rainbow and still felt the magic? Maybe it’s shape does not look quite right, or it has occurred without rain, or it has happened at a time soon after you have asked for a sign to reassure or reaffirm some situation in your life. It may be a double rainbow or a rainbow orb or halo around an object. The angels are using this phenomenon to guide you. Bells If you can hear a bell ring, even the slightest tinkle or chirp of a bell, and there is no apparent reason for a bell to ring, then an an...

The Dark Moon Magick

Image
The dark moon is a lesser-known yet deeply significant phase of the lunar cycle. It refers to the final stage of the waning moon, just before the new moon occurs. Unlike the new moon, which is the official astronomical beginning of the lunar cycle, the dark moon is the period of complete lunar invisibility—a time when the moon is no longer visible in the night sky and has released the last of its light. Spiritually and symbolically, the dark moon is often distinguished from the new moon because of its unique energetic signature. While the new moon is about planting seeds and starting anew, the dark moon is the liminal space between death and rebirth , a sacred pause between cycles. What Is the Dark Moon? Astronomically, the dark moon generally lasts about one to three days, ending with the moment of the exact new moon conjunction (when the moon and sun align). It is a time of stillness , emptiness , and transition . Unlike the visible waxing or waning phases, there is nothing to se...

Litha - The Summer Solstice

Image
The Summer Solstice , also known as Litha in some spiritual traditions, is the longest day and shortest night of the year. It occurs when the Earth's axial tilt is most inclined toward the Sun, resulting in the Sun reaching its highest point in the sky at noon. In the Northern Hemisphere, the Summer Solstice usually takes place around June 20th to 22nd , while in the Southern Hemisphere, it occurs in December . This celestial event has been celebrated for thousands of years by cultures across the globe. It is a time rich in symbolism, spiritual energy, and ritual , honoring the fullness of light, life, and abundance. Astronomical and Seasonal Significance The Summer Solstice marks the official beginning of summer and the moment when the Sun is at its peak power . After this day, the amount of daylight begins to gradually decrease, leading toward the autumnal equinox and then winter. It represents a turning point in the seasonal wheel of the year—a balance between growth and d...

Friday the 13th

Image
Friday the 13th is a date shrouded in mystery, fear, and superstition. While often considered unlucky in Western cultures, the deeper meaning of Friday the 13th reveals a complex interplay of ancient symbolism, spiritual power, and societal fear of the sacred feminine and the unknown . Its roots stretch back to both religious and pre-Christian traditions, and the cultural anxiety surrounding it speaks to broader themes of transformation, taboo, and spiritual awakening. Origins and Historical Context The superstition around Friday the 13th is relatively modern, gaining widespread notoriety in the 19th and 20th centuries, but the fear of the number 13, known as triskaidekaphobia , and of Fridays as unlucky days, has older roots. The number 13 has long been viewed with suspicion, particularly in patriarchal religious systems where it disrupts the “completeness” of the number 12 (12 months, 12 zodiac signs, 12 apostles). Thirteen introduces a new cycle—something beyond the orderly syst...
