Samhain & How to Celebrate

I am so excited for Samhain this year! Samhain falls on Halloween and is the witches New Year. Honouring our ancestors, our roots, our families and ourselves is the main theme for Samhain and we're encouraged to engage with the "Other Side." We also use the witch's New Year to recharge and rest ourselves.

Spirit of Equinox Magic Spell Candles

It's been a long time since I've done a witchy haul! I was hoping my next haul would be much bigger than this but unfortunately I had to prioritise. I had planned to buy myself a whole bunch of candles, cloth and maybe even some new tarot cards for my altar but this time, all I could buy was a few candles. So, lets have a look shall we?

Mabon & How to Celebrate

Mabon is the autumn equinox! My favourite kind of equinox. This year Mabon starts on Wednesday 21st September and ends on Thursday September 29th. That's a lot of time to celebrate! Mabon is a celebration of balance. The days and nights are now equal again and it's time to give thanks for what the summer has brought us. It's also time to let go of anything you may be clinging on to.

Lammas & How to Celebrate

Lammas, a.k.a Lughnasdh, is named after the Celtic Sun god Lugh and marks the beginning of the harvest season. Lammas falls on August 1st and is celebrated with feasting, games and song. We welcome in the impending darkness and prepare for Autumn!

My Litha Altar

I celebrated Litha for the first time this year! I only just remembered to decorate my altar for it though. As I'm in the early days of having an altar, I haven't had the chance to pick up everything I feel I need for my altar at the moment. I need to go shopping for more ribbon and coloured candles! 

6 Accomplishments in 6 Months | Litha

It's officially Summer! I celebrated Litha - the Summer Solstice - for the first time this year and one theme of Litha is to celebrate your accomplishments over the last six months. So here is my list of my top six accomplishments in the first six months of 2022!

Litha & How to Celebrate

Next Tuesday (21st June 2022) is Litha! Litha is also known as Midsummer or the Summer Solstice. It's the longest day of the year and the shortest night. Litha is the energetic climax of the year, where the Sun is at his peak. It's time to celebrate all we've accomplished over the last six months! This year is the first year I will be celebrating Litha and I'm really excited to welcome in Summer 2022. 

The Wiccan Wheel of the Year

The Wiccan Wheel of the Year is a circle of time, seasons, birth, growth and death. It represents the full cycle of the seasons according to the sun. Witches celebrate Sabbats to make the passing of the seasons. These include the Equinoxes, the Winter and Summer Solstices and the days falling halfway between. The Sabbats are the holy days for witches, when the atmosphere is charged for magick, manifestation and reflection. The eight sabbats form the Wheel of the Year.

My Ostara Altar

I finally have an altar! Over the last ten years of studying Wicca, I have never had the space for an altar but this year I decided it was time to have one - even if it is just a mini one.

Yule & Ways to Celebrate

Yule a.k.a winter solstice is the celebration of the shortest day and longest night of the year. Ironically, it's all about the abundance of light. Even though the darkness has taken over, from this day forward the days will become lighter, the Sun King is returning and will begin to thrive. Yule is a time for renewal and brighter days are near. The shortest day and longest night is Tuesday 21st December this year!
