Harnessing the Power of the Buck Moon: A Guide to Magical Workings

The Buck Moon, the full moon of July, offers a potent time for magic focused on growth, strength, and accomplishment. Named for the period when a buck’s antlers are in full growth, this lunar event symbolizes ambition, determination, and the manifestation of your goals. The energy of the Buck Moon is also tied to the abundance of midsummer, as berries and other fruits ripen

Rituals for Growth and Achievement:

• Goal-Setting and Manifestation: The ambitious energy of the Buck Moon makes it an ideal time to focus on your long-term aspirations, especially those related to your career. Write down your goals, create a vision board, or perform a manifestation ritual to give your ambitions a powerful boost.
• Strength and Courage Spells: To align with the symbolism of the growing antlers, perform spells to enhance your inner strength, confidence, and courage.This can help you overcome obstacles and pursue your goals with renewed vigor.
• Success and Abundance Magic: Tap into the abundant energy of the season by performing rituals for success and prosperity. This is a time to focus on what you want to cultivate in your life.

Practices for Reflection and Releasing:

• Release What No Longer Serves You: Like all full moons, the Buck Moon is a powerful time for letting go of negativity and anything holding you back. You can perform a releasing ceremony by writing down what you wish to release and safely burning the paper.
• Journaling for Self-Reflection: Use this time to journal about your accomplishments, strengths, and areas where you’d like to grow. Reflecting on your journey can provide clarity and motivation. Lunar Journals by Luna Love available here.
• Cleansing your Space: Clear out stagnant energy by smudging your home with Palo Santo, Frankincense or Copal or other cleansing herbs like rosemary or pine. A clean and organized space can help welcome new, positive energy.

Connecting with Nature and the Elements:

• Create an Earth Altar: Gather natural items like stones, leaves, and flowers to create a temporary altar outside. This practice helps you connect with the grounding energy of the earth during this potent time.
• Make Moon Water: Leave a jar of water out under the full moon’s light to create moon water. This charged water can be used in future spells and rituals to amplify their power.
• Moon Bathing: Sit or stand under the light of the Buck Moon to cleanse and recharge your own energy. You can also take a ritual bath with Epsom salts and herbs to enhance the experience. Spiritual baths made by Luna Love Apothecary available here.
• Charge your crystals: Remember that in the full moon, the moon rises at sunset and sets at sunrise. The moon has the fullest amount of energy that is perfect to charge your crystals in the moonlight and can be set out all night and making sure you pull them out before the sun rises.

Full moon rituals, readings, cleanses and spiritual ceremonies are all beautiful ways to harness the moon energy. If you need more help, please send a message, book a reading or just send ask for more information!
