New Moon, New Magic: A Fresh Start for The Unsuspecting Witch
The moon is dark, but my heart is full. As the new moon graces the sky, it brings an invitation for renewal and quiet intention-setting. After a season of stillness, I’m returning to The Unsuspecting Witch with fresh energy and a heart full of ideas. Let’s embrace this lunar phase together — planting seeds for the magic we wish to grow. A Quiet Return Life has been full behind the scenes. My health has been delicate, and personal challenges have asked me to retreat and rest. But as the wheel of the year turns, I find myself arriving once more at a place of readiness — called to rekindle this blog. This…

The New Moon – May 2023
Life taking an unexpected turn meant I missed April’s New Moon and my practice has had to take a back seat whilst dealing with day-to-day-life. However, the power that today’s New Moon provides us with is not to be sniffed at, so I will be making sure I harness it, and you should too. This New Moon is all about manifesting and knowing your own worth; putting plans into action and reaching for your dreams. This can be in any aspect of your life, but this New Moon is particularly hot on finances! So what will I be doing? Well, I’ve not been able to properly do a cleansing ritual…

The New Moon – March 2023
An unexpected bout of COVID meant that I didn’t have the Ostara content posted before the event. I have today however managed to fill my house with the scents of a beautiful Ostara simmer pot. I made the simmer pot with ingredients and intentions that work with both Ostara and the New Moon, meaning I can chill the pot overnight and re-light tomorrow. We witches dislike waste. I will also be using the remaining liquid from the simmer pot to create a room spray. Although the New Moon cannot be seen, the same cannot be said for the power it holds. This year, the new moon falls just a day…

It’s Cinnamon Day
It’s the first of the month and witches everywhere will be blowing cinnamon through their front door, but why do this? Cinnamon has long been associated with abundance and prosperity, and the process of blowing cinnamon powder through the main entrance to your home (this does not need to be the front door if you rarely use it) symbolises you inviting abundance and prosperity into your home. In my current home, I tie this in with other rituals on both the first of the month and the new moon depending on when in the month that falls. Not only does this amplify the cinnamon ritual, but helps me focus my…

New Moon Ritual
Today sees the first new moon of the autumn and I find it a great time to not only set my intentions for this coming moon cycle, but also the coming season. I’ve had a lot of upheaval in my life recently, hence the lack of posts, and so I want to take some time to focus on where I want to be, what my goals are, and how I am going to achieve them. I’ll be starting off by taking myself for a walk in the woods to do some grounding. I’m lucky that where I currently am there’s an ancient woodland and the energy is amazing; when you…
