As we move through into the summer season, we get ready to welcome our next sabbat on June 21st, known as Litha. Often referred to as the Midsummer or the Summer Solstice, Litha is a high-spirited fire sabbat full of buoyancy and merriment. With the earth coming alive, the sun is beaming, and nature flourishing, this is a time for reconnecting with the cycles of nature and honoring the growing light within ourselves and all around us.
Throughout time, Litha was often deemed a time for celebrating the Goddess in her pregnancy, while the Sun God continues to rise until he reaches full strength. For that reason, people would often hold bountiful feasts, perform ceremonial dances, and host bonfires to honor his light and her fertility. However, as the longest day and shortest night of the year, for many, Litha is also a powerful time of honoring our own inner light and coming into our own peak of strength, making this an excellent time for rebirth and change within ourselves.Â
With so many warm and jovial energies circling around us now, there are many fun and exciting things you can do at this time to honor the energies all around us. So for today, we’re going to share 10 of our favorite rituals you can do to celebrate Litha and welcome in all the healing energy of this summer sabbat in a beautiful new way. Let’s get started.Â

As we move out of the ups and downs of the month of May, we welcome the first official month of summer with open arms as we prepare to embark on a new journey full of laughter, fun, and good memories. As June makes its way into our sector, the warm summer abundance is likely to bring family, friends, and new adventures to our forefront. With the sun beaming, new opportunities are in the air and are welcoming boosted actions as we begin to pick up the pace on projects and seize new opportunities as they arise.Â
With that said, the month of May will kick off in the social sign of the Gemini. Known as the life of the party, the Gemini is here to bring expansion and curiosity into our world. With their influence, this could open our minds more and help us to become more outgoing with our pursuits in achieving our goals. On top of that, their strong extroverted energy could also push us to get out more and connect deeper with all the people we hold dear. Aside from this, Venus will welcome changes in love and passion, while Saturn encourages us to tackle our problems head-on. Then, Jupiter goes retrograde on the 20th, which could push the signs to slow down and reassess their lives with a completely new mindset. Neptune will then fall in retrograde at the end of the month, which could bring our ideas and inspiration to a stand-still, pushing us to find deeper realignment. Then, we also welcome the Summer Solstice on 21st, bringing in new re-energized feelings as we align deeper than before with our spirit and work to celebrate the light within ourselves. This is also the day that we enter the Cancer season, bringing sentimentality, intuition, and a deeper connection into our space. Finally, on June 22nd, Mercury Retrograde will also come to an end, helping us to find our footing once more as we work to reground our energy moving forward.
Overall, June 2022 is predicted to be a month full of new energies as we align with the summertime fun and welcome a series of joyful new experiences into our space, but it isn’t likely to happen without a little change and adjustment. But, to give you some deeper insight into what you can expect this month, today, we're going to touch on what energies and changes each Zodiac sign can expect throughout June and how you can adjust your life to make the most of it.Â

Just because you’re a witch doesn’t mean your craft has to cost a fortune. In fact, it should never cost a fortune unless you want it to. While witchcraft is different for everyone, practicing as a witch is often about finding magic in simple things around you and creating something beautiful from them. Social media has played a huge part in the expensive expectation for those first coming into witchcraft in this day and age. From large and extravagant altar setups to enormous luxury crystals, many people are under the impression that you have to have dozens of crystals, candles, and tarot decks in order to truly practice, but that’s not true. Don’t get us wrong, while these tools can be fun and inspiring to add to your collection and can help you to enhance the energy in your craft; they do not supply the magic––you do. The magic is within you, dear witch, and you put magic into everything you use, whether it’s cheap or expensive items, and we’re here to show you that.

We’re going to talk about what each moon phase means, the unique energy they give off, and how you can work more closely with them to perform self-care practices to heal, grow, and align more intentionally in your life than ever before.

As we move out of the inspiring and energetic energies of April, we move into the month of May with flying colors, welcoming new changes, transformations, and chances for renewal. To start, we will be kicking off the month in the balanced and assured sign of the Taurus. Often considered to be the mother of the Zodiac due to their kind, nurturing, and wise nature, the Taurus craves balance in all that they do. They are hardworking, know the importance of creating a good routine, and always approach their goals with a slow but steady pace. For that reason, the signs may also begin to bring these energies into their life this month. From creating a routine for yourself, focusing on small steps for your goals, or even just picking up the pace towards working towards your dreams, this month is all about gaining stability and finding what new direction you may wish to go with it.Â
Aside from this, May also marks the official start of the eclipse season, which is sure to bring a plethora of new energies into our lives. With so many energetic shake-ups at this time, the signs could find themselves feeling more drained and disoriented. However, all of the changes are likely to help us align with our destined path later on. Aside from this, the planets will also be quite active this month, with Jupiter, Mars, and Mercury as the biggest influences. Jupiter will be lingering in the sign of the Pisces for the beginning of the month, making this an opportunistic time for the signs to seize new opportunities and take a chance. After this, Jupiter will then make its way through the sign of the Aries, pushing hard work, confidence, and a new dynamic in your life as the signs likely begin to feel a little more open-minded in trying new things. We will then welcome our next Mercury retrograde on May 10 in the sign of the Gemini, which is bound to bring some energetic shake-ups in our social lives as well as our communication skills. Lastly, we will then end the month in the sign of the energetic Gemini, pushing our social interactions, lust for adventure, and need for expansion to the extreme.Â

With the energies of new beginnings and fertility in the air, this is known to be a joyous time of celebration that honors the joining of the May Queen (The Maiden) and the May King (Young Oak King) in a sacred union of love. As a result, the energies of fertility, passion, and new life are buzzing all around us as we celebrate the abundance of the earth, the rising sign, and the balance of feminine and masculine energy.Â
With so much opportunity and vibrancy in the air, there are many jovial and light-hearted rituals you can take part in to honor the many energies around us at this time. And today, we’re going to share eight of our personal favorite rituals you can do to align and honor this fiery sabbat in a truly unique way. Let’s get started.

As we move into the warmth of the growing spring, the season is changing, the earth is blooming, and the energy is shifting with a promise of rebirth and new beginnings just beyond the horizon. With opportunity in the air, this is a truly auspicious time for wiping the slate clean and moving forward with a fresh new attitude.Â
With that said, the sun will soar through the fiery Aries sign at the start of the month, encouraging the signs to start taking more of a head-on approach with their goals. As a result, the signs will likely begin to feel more spontaneous, social, and optimistic this month, especially when it comes to pursuing their dreams. With the abundant and opportunistic energies of the growing light of the sun, intentions set in prior months are now beginning to rise to fruition, allowing us to make bigger moves for the start of the new Zodiac year. To go along with this, we also have many planetary changes occurring this month, mostly following Mars, Jupiter, Mercury, and Venus, welcoming in lust, luck, and action into our space. Mars and Jupiter could bring changes to your attitude and approach towards your goals, while Mercury can add a sharpness to our tongue, allowing us to be bolder with our words and actions. Lastly, Venus could stir changes in love, allowing partners to connect deeper as well as the opportunity to overcome issues of the past. To end the month, we will then enter the sign of the Taurus on April 20th, allowing the signs to regain balance in their lives after a busy last few weeks and focus their attention on nurturing themselves more mentally, physically, and spiritually. And since the Taurus is an earth sign, this is also a time of calmness and slow but steady movement after the raging fire sign’s ruling, allowing the signs to build a more strategic plan for the path ahead and look at their goals with more of a long-term vision.
Overall, April is predicted to be a month of action, optimism, and transformation as all the signs begin to move into the next chapter of their lives swiftly with the season’s change. But, to give you some deeper insight into what you can expect this month, today, we're going to go over what changes each Zodiac sign can expect energetically throughout April and how you align yourself to make the most of them.

As we transition out of the last month of winter, we make our way into inspiring new beginnings in the month of March. With the spring equinox happening on March 20th, this month, we prepare to welcome the energies of change, transformation, and forward movement as we begin to blossom into our most authentic selves like never before. With that said, we will kick off the month in the wise and sensitive Pisces sign, urging the signs to delve deeper into themselves and their connections to the world around them. Since Pisces is directly connected to the water element and the divine world, March is expected to bring some highly intuitive energies into our space, allowing us to be more receptive to the changes happening within and around us. Expressive in nature, Pisces' influence will likely help us to channel a deeper connection with our creative passions to help us develop a strong connection to our most authentic energy and shed away what no longer resonates. Not to mention, since Pisces is the last member of the Zodiac, you can bet that this adaptable energy will guide us to our last stage of development before we start our new Zodiac cycle, working to help us move forward without any lingering emotional or energetic baggage.Â
Aside from this, there is also a lot of planetary shifts happening this month, with Mercury, Mars, Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn, just to name a few. With so much energetic change happening, this could stir up a lot of new inspiring, ambitious, and loving energies within us. However, it could also bring new expansion, readjustment, and change that could have things feeling a little rocky at times and could require some patience to work through. To top it off, we will then end the month in the ambitious and self-assured Aries sign, helping to boost us ahead once and for all in new directions in our lives, ready to embrace all that life throws at us.Â
Overall, March 2022 is predicted to be a month where we start picking up the pace to get a move on all the things we’ve been planning out over the last several weeks. But, to give you some deeper insight into what you can expect this month, today, we're going to touch on what energies and changes each Zodiac sign can expect throughout March and how you can adjust your life to make the most of it.

Making Valentine’s extra special can be tricky sometimes, especially if we are not particularly crafty and are sporadically busy. While this may be true, the great thing about love is it finds a way. It always finds its way. Isn’t it fascinating how some people can pull off a grande surprise out of letters and papers? While some can cook a really good meal and some just know the exact perfect place to go. While some people, like me at times, can’t make up their minds.

Welcome to this blog post, Witches and Lovers! You and I may share almost the same sentiments towards the approaching Valentine's. One thought and your stomach are in knots? I feel you.
With the recent events centering around Covid-19, it is normal to feel nostalgic for the traditional romantic movie nights, long walks by the beach, restaurant dates, traveling in another city, what else? Name it, we all wish and yearn for this entire pandemic to soon be over. But just like Warren Buffett’s 5/25 Rule, why don’t we focus more on things that we can control and assess what really matters?
For one, it wouldn’t take time to reflect that what does matter is who we share this Valentines with and secondly, how we can make them feel more special during this event. After all, Valentine's doesn’t require any place or any terms at all as long as whatever we plan to do comes from our hearts.
