Under this New Moon our manifestation abilities will be heightened. Be mindful of your thoughts, words, and choices at this time.
Allow your thoughts to be an expression of opportunity and hope. Shift your perspective from limitationtoabundance.
You may have to take some action… you may need to follow your instincts at this time…, and make those hard choices that stem from your intuition. Know there is cosmic support on your side.
The fire sign energyof this New Moon May heighten our emotions in general. We may feel extra sensitive, needing additional love & support from those around us or our higher selves.
In astrology, Neptune is considered a planet of inspiration, dreams, psychic receptivity, illusion, and confusion. It rules spirituality, and all things subtle … Neptune is associated with intuition and spiritual enlightenment… it is also a planet of mercy and compassion.
The more negative manifestations of Neptune include deception, trickery, deceit, guilt, and addiction…” (cafeastrology.com).
This is a time to hone your healing gifts, the zodiac’s deep-diving fish directs attention to what lies beneath the surface …
Remember that Water is life, carry a reusable water bottle with you to stay hydrated wherever you go. 71% of the Earth is made up of water. Roughly 60% of the human body is comprised of water as well…
Let your emotions flow like water. Pisces season brings us a heightened intuition, and we will be receiving a lot of ‘messages’ during this time especially. Pick up a journal and spend time letting your thoughts flow onto the paper ✍
Release old grudges. Pisces is the 12th and final sign of the zodiac. The Pisces sun illuminates places where we have fallen into a negative mentality, which can inspire forgiveness & change. This is the time to ask yourself, “what did I learn from this?”.

This weekend I was blessed, I got to go to Salem, Massachusetts the witch city capital of the world. My only friend who is a practicing witch @eclectic-earth and I stayed the historical Hawethorne Hotel.
I spent close to $300 . So worth every penny I got the Witchcraft Theory and Practice by Ly De Angeles, Angelite Pendant, Chalice, ENDLESS amounts or herbs, Protection oil, Archangel Gabriel Oil, and @eclectic-earth got a beautiful piece of moldavite.
Such a blessed weekend full of the energy I needed to feel. I love Salem it will always be my home.
*Smudging is a ritual from a closed practice, please research this before buying that shell, feather, and sage bundle from 5below… stay aware!
Alternatives to smudging: smoke cleansing (literally just get incense cones or sticks!), sound cleansing (get a bell or play cleansing frequencies), deep cleaning (vacuum, open the windows, wipe everything down), and your words (declaring your space sacred & protected)!
*Support your local crystal shops, farmers markets (if the season permits), and don’t be afraid to askquestions: such as, where items are sourced!
*Now is the time to for introspection, grounding, cleansing, spending time outdoors, home cooking, self care (beyond that face mask), meditation, decluttering, reorganizing, andgrowth!
Athame, Wand, Book of Shadows, Candle/incense holders, Playing or Tarot Cards, Cauldron, Small Jars. Ribbons, Bones (don’t kill anything and make sure it’s ok to pick them up though), Chalice, Boline, Altar Cloths, and Bessom.
The Elements:
Air:Feathers, Smoke, Wand, Symbols, Candles, A Hand Fan, Bells, Pictures, of the Sky, Streamers, Spoons, and Art of Birds, Angels, and Faeries.
Fire:Lighters, Matches, Candles, Incense, Cauldron, Athame, Symbols, and Fire Opal.
Water:A Chalice, A Bowl of Water (it can be sun water, seawater, rainwater, etc), Seashells, A Mirror, Mermaid or Fish Statues, Symbols, and Blue Candles.
Earth:Salt, Crystals, Herbs, Flowers, Dirt, Wood, Green Candles, Bones, Leaves, and Pictures of Trees and Nature in General.
Gods and Goddesses:
Have colors/animals/flowers/herbs that they’re connected to on your altar, leave them offerings, have a picture or a statue of them, have 2 sides of your altar (one for the god and one for the goddess), have prayer beads, and a god and goddess candle.
Advice:
Do what works for you, if you can’t have a huge altar with a lot of tools, thats fine. You make an altar out of an Altoids tin or a shoebox.
You can make altars for sabots, the fae, your deities, or the elements. You can also decorate your altar for the seasons or the sabots too.
If you don’t believe in any gods or goddesses, you don’t have to believe in them or put representations of them on your altar to be a witch. Personally, I’m secular and I don’t work with any deities/spirits.
Take my advice with a pinch of salt. You don’t have to follow exactly what I say, these are just ideas. This is your practice and you can do whatever you want to. Don’t be pressured to do something just because someone told you to, this is your practice; not theirs.
Thank you for reading this and have a magickal day! ❤❤❤
