The full Meadow Moon (AKA Buck Moon) is happening this week. I’m hoping the skies stay clear so I can have a clear view of it tonight. I’ve been feeling the winds of change tugging at my soul and I want to do some moon meditations to help me focus. I am not a good meditator, so when I do want to practice I prefer late nights, when there is minimal noise and distractions. If the weather is good and the mosquitoes minimal, I’ll sit outside. In colder weather I’ll just plop down on the floor, wherever there is a chunk of moonlight shining in, close my eyes and let my thoughts run. Do you do anything special when you meditate?

New Grimoire Series

This week’s printable is the first in a series I’m planning. I’ve been wanting to create a more formal Wheel of the Year grimoire/journal for myself. I have notes about alchemy, lunar phases, the Wheel of the Year, goddesses, and cultural history scattered throughout several notebooks, binders, planners, post-it notes, ect...

Even though I literally create a yearly Wheel of the Year planner to help folks organize their own spiritual practice, I’m like the carpenter with the half-finished house, never using the planner to its full capacity. As I’ve been researching and writing for my book outline and upcoming printables, I thought wouldn’t it be great if I took ALL my notes and created some printables that I can then just pop into my planner and reference when needed, rather than tearing my office apart trying to remember random notes about which goddess is associated with thunderstorms (It’s Inanna, btw, more on her in a future newsletter).

So first up is a simple series of reference charts and since it is high summer, it seemed natural to start with flowers.

Obviously this is not an exhaustive list of every flower available, but I figured these are all pretty common for most readers. If there are flowers you think should go on the list please let me know either by email or over on Instagram.

If you’d like to do more of your own Wheel of the Year research, be sure to check out the Bookshelf for recommended reading and the books I use when writing for Mabon House and my list of favorite Witchcraft Books Here.
