Moon Rituals For the Summer Excerpted from The Moon Spells Journal by Diane Ahlquist
Moon Rituals For the Summer JUNE In June, a month of long days and short nights, we experience the last moon of spring as solar energy is heating up, days lengthen, and we celebrate the peak of solar power.

Infused with warmth from the extended hours of daylight, nights are short, fragrant, and enthralling, packed with…

“Self-Love Ritual for When You Don’t Get It Right the First Time” An Excerpt from The Junior Witch’s Handbook by Nikki Van De Car
