It’s that time of year my witches! The season of the witch is in full swing and Samhain is upon us! Samhain is always a highly anticipated night in our house and in the witch community in general. Now when you think of celebrating such a big Sabbat you may think, oh I need 16…
September has arrived once again and Autumn is but days away! This time of year fills me with life, positivity, and energy. It’s also a time that welcomes change into our lives and what better way to help that along than with a little magic. So this week I bring you a New Moon Candle Ritual for Transformation!
It might be left from our adolescent years when September meant the start of a new school year or that the Witch’s New Year (Samhain) is fast approaching but September brings with it a sense of renewal. It’s a great time to start healthy habits, move forward with confidence towards that goal you’ve had your eye on, and to take the steps you’ve been meaning to towards being the best damn human you can be.
Well not entirely lol. However, the New Moon is an opportune time for starting anew, clearing out the old, welcoming in change, setting fresh intentions, and making the commitment to move forward with motivation and positivity towards whatever it may be that you’ve been chasing.
The Full Moon always gets the most attention but over the years I have been becoming just as, if not more, excited for the New Moon phase. I love a new beginning and the energy that fills the air during this time.
This month let’s harness it, welcome it in, and start down the path towards living the best life we possibly can.
There is no time like the present. This September New Moon in Virgo falls on September. Bringing with it some powerful energy to help you gain clarity, find balance, feel grounded, be motivated, and to feel fully ready for beautiful transformation and change to take place.
1–2 drops pine or peppermint essential oil (properly diluted) for renewal

I don’t think I know a witch who doesn’t love crafting a good spell jar. They are extremely versatile and can be created with any intention in mind by carefully choosing your ingredients. Today, we are going to focus our efforts on putting together a spell jar for motivation and positivity.
Let’s face it, it is often easy to lose some of these energies during our day to day routines. What better way to help us remember and bring some of these energies back into our life than through our magical practice.
An extra dose of motivation, is always a most welcome thing and especially helpful when life throws you off your game. So, the start to my summer has been interesting and this year as a whole slightly challenging. A lot of 2 steps forward, 1 step back or sometimes 1 step forward and 2 steps back lol.
We all go through periods like this where there may be more obstacles than you would like or life throws you some curve balls making it hard to stay on track with your goals.
It’s great at times like these to really lean into your practice and get that energy re-centred and moving in the right direction again. Enter this spell jar for motivation and positivity! My last couple of weeks have certainly motivated me to put one of these into practice and to share it with you all in this post. So let’s get started!
Red candle for passion and drive
1 tablespoon dried lemon balm for joy and confidence
1 tablespoon dried patchouli for growth and success
1 tablespoon dried peppermint for energy and motivation
Small jar with lid
1 carnelian stone for motivation and confidence
3 drops sweet orange essential oil for success, clarity, and positivity
1 red string or ribbon, long enough to tie around the top of the jar. This will solidify your intentions and encourage vitality and courage moving forward.
Place the jar in a place of prominence or power such as your work space or altar.
Do you like to create spell jars in your practice? Do you have any go to materials?

Summer is getting closer with each passing day and it’s already time for Beltane! These Vegan Beltane Bannocks for abundance are the perfect thing to add into your festivities this year.
Beltane is celebrated the evening of April 30th and all of May 1st here in the Northern Hemisphere. It is the midpoint between the Spring Equinox and Summer Solstice, and celebrates the return of summer, nature in all its glory, and the miracle and pleasure of life, love, and beauty. If you want to learn more about the Beltane Sabbat check out my full post HERE.
Bannocks were traditionally eaten at Beltane to ensure an abundant and fertile growing season in the weeks to come. Aside from abundance, they also contain energetic properties for prosperity, grounding, wealth, stability, and happiness.
Including some kitchen magic as part of your Sabbat festivities is a wonderful way to connect with each turn of the wheel, with nature, and with the elements. And after all, no celebration is truly complete without some yummy eats so I do hope you will try these out this year!
Now let’s get into this Beltane Bannock recipe!
While going through the steps to prepare your bannocks, focus on what you are trying to accomplish. There are some good moments here where we are able to use our hands and really connect with our ingredients. How do you want to feel? Visualize yourself with a mind that is clear and open. Be specific, in what areas of your life are you looking for abundance? How will your life change if you are able to obtain this?
Makes 8 – 12 Bannocks | Total Time: 35 Minutes
These bannocks keep for about 3 – 4 days in an airtight container and are still delicious but they’re particularly good when eaten fresh from the oven. Enjoy them with butter, jam, nut butter, some vegan cream, or even just plain. All options will be delicious!
They will also be a perfect addition if you are hosting a Beltane brunch or dinner.
