As an aspiring witch, I'm always trying to sync my craft with the phases of the moon. The moon's cycles can impact rituals, spells, and even mundane activities like gardening or getting a haircut. So I wanted to provide a quick overview of the major lunar events coming up in 2024. Get your calendars out and mark these down!
We'll kick things off with the first full moon of the year on January 6th. Known as the Wolf Moon, this one is great for protection spells and connecting with your primal instincts. Let the inner wolf in you howl under the glowing moonlight!
Next up, we have the Snow Moon on February 4th. As you might guess from the name, this frosty moon is excellent for magic related to purification, renewal, and transformation. Dust off your broom and get ready to sweep out the old and bring in the new!
The Worm Moon worms its way in on March 5th. At this time, the ground begins to soften as earthworms appear, making it ideal for spells that encourage new growth. Plant your seeds, tend your garden, and watch your intentions blossom.
April 3rd brings the Pink Moon, named for the first spring blooms. What better time to whip up a love potion or cast a spell to attract romance? Want to reconnect with friends? Send out some good vibes under the blushing moon.
The Flower Moon on May 1st celebrates spring in full force. Work some floral magic by gathering buds for crafts or pressing petals into your Book of Shadows. Your creativity will be in full bloom!
Next up, the Strawberry Moon on May 30th will make your mouth water and fill you with passion. Channel that vibrant energy into your spellwork. Eat some fresh berries and get a little wild!
July 29th presents the Buck Moon, ideal for spells relating to adventure, masculinity, and all things animalistic. Embrace your inner beast and get in touch with uncivilized instincts. Howl, run, be free!
The Sturgeon Moon swims in on August 27th. Use this watery moon to connect with your emotions or work some kitchen witchery. Whip up a batch of moon water or cleanse your crystals.
September 25th brings the Harvest Moon, perfect for gathering magical ingredients and thanking Mother Earth for her bounty. This is a time to reap what you've sown and prepare for the cooler months ahead. Comforting cinnamon magic would be appropriate!
The Hunter's Moon on October 24th is great for adventure, tracking down what you desire, and seeking answers. Get out your divining rods, scrying mirrors, and runes to aid your quest. The spirit world will be closer than ever under this full moon.
November 22nd presents the Frost Moon. As the last full moon before Yule, it's suited for introspection and spiritual development. Meditate by the moonlight and ready yourself for rebirth.
Finally, the Cold Moon arrives on December 21st. Honor the return of the light by creating a Yule altar decorated with holly, pine cones, and candles. Perform a ritual to welcome back the sun!
There you have it, friends - the key lunar events for witchcraft, magic, and manifestation in 2024. Mark your calendars and start preparing your ingredients and tools. Which moon phase are you looking forward to the most? Let me know in the comments! Blessed be.
