Table of Contents:
Wicca is a modern-day, nature-based pagan religion. Though rituals and practices vary among people who identify as Wiccan, most observations include the festival celebrations of solstices and equinoxes, the honoring of a male god and a female goddess, and the incorporation of herbalism and other natural objects into rituals. Wiccans practice their religion according to an ethical code, and many believe in reincarnation.
WHAT IS WICCA?
Wicca is considered a modern interpretation of pre-Christian traditions, though some involved claim a direct line to ancient practices. It may be practiced by individuals or members of groups (sometimes known as covens).
Wicca also has some commonalities with Druidism in its environmental component, and is considered the inspiration of the goddess movement in spirituality.
There is great diversity among individuals and groups that practice a Wiccan religion, but many are duotheistic, worshiping both a female goddess and a male god (sometimes referred to as a Mother Goddess and a Horned God).
Other Wiccan practices are atheist, pantheist, polytheist or respectful of gods and goddesses as archetypal symbols rather than as actual or supernatural beings. Rituals in Wicca often include holidays centered around phases of the moon; solar equinoxes and solstices; elements such as fire, water, earth and air; and initiation ceremonies.

June 4, 2025 Current Southern Hemisphere/Tomorrow’s Northern Hemisphere Moon Phase

Source: nineplanets.org
The current moon phase for June 4th, 2025 is the Waxing Gibbous phase.
On this day, the moon is 8.72 days old and 64.68% illuminated with a tilt of 154.785°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 401,323.71 km and the moon sign is Libra.
The Moon phase for June 4th, 2025 is a Waxing Gibbous phase. This is the phase where the moon is more than 50% illuminated but has not yet reached 100% illumination (which would be a Full Moon).
In the Northern Hemisphere, the right side will be illuminated, and in the Southern hemisphere it’ll be the left side that is illuminated.
The Waxing Gibbous phase, like all moon phases, will last for just over 7 days. The actual length will vary because of the elliptical shaped orbit of the moon. During this Waxing Gibbous phase the moon will rise in the east in the mid- to late-afternoon and will be high in the eastern sky at sunset.
Assuming it’s a clear night, the Waxing Gibbous moon will then be visible through most of the night before setting just before sunrise.
Fun fact: the word Gibbous was first used in the 14th century and comes from the latin word gibbosus which means humpbacked.

Moon Alert
There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Virgo.
The Stars Rate Your Day
5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
Aries (March 21-April 19)
*** Tread carefully at work today, or in conversations with care workers or something to do with your pet. The reason you have to be careful is your emotions might overwhelm your intellect today. You might react without thinking. (Who me?) You know who you are.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
**** Let’s hope you will remain positive (even playful perhaps) in the event that you encounter some disputes about money, possessions, who picks up the tab for something, or who pays for a fun outing? This might also relate to costs related to your kids.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
*** Avoid controversial subjects with family members today because little disputes and moments of nastiness could arise. It’s simply not worth it because by tomorrow, you might change your views completely. The challenge today is your ruler Mercury is at odds with the Moon. (It’s just something you have to deal with.)
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
*** Sometimes you are called a Moon Child because the sign of Cancer is ruled by the Moon. Today the Moon is at odds with Mercury, the planet of communications. This means you could feel disgruntled with someone; but you might feel you can’t speak up. Whatever the case – it could be frustrating.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
*** Discussions about money or possessions might be challenging today, which is why you will feel the need to express your problems or your concerns with someone. Unfortunately, this is a poor day for communications of any kind. Be smart and postpone important discussions for another day.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
**** Today the Moon is in your sign, which heightens your emotions. However, it also increases your good fortune – which is handy. Nevertheless, the Moon is at odds with Mercury, which makes your emotions grab hold of you and overrule your common sense. Oops.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
*** The key to keeping your peace of mind today, and to maintaining a reasonable degree of harmony around you (which is important for your well-being, we both know) is to avoid controversial subjects. Avoid discussions about politics, religion or racial issues today. Do yourself this favour.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
**** You might be involved with a friend, or a member of a group, about funding, shared property, shared money or whether something is borrowed or overdue. Whatever the case, this might not go well. Be wise. Choose another day to fight for what you want. (But not today.)
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
*** This is a poor day to deal with bosses, parents or anyone in authority. Give these people a wide berth. Of course, we both know that when dealing with authority figures, sometimes it’s better to ask for forgiveness, than to ask for permission. This might be worth consideration?
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
**** You might be caught up in legal or medical matters today, or controversial discussions about politics or religion. Be smart. Don’t stick your neck out. Listen to what others are saying and keep your thoughts to yourself. Meanwhile, you might entertain at home.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
*** Discussions about who should pay for what, especially related to social outings, or the support or education of children, might be petty today. Someone might feel compelled to express your dissatisfaction with you. Or maybe you feel the need to air your grievances? Take it easy.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
*** Today the Moon is opposite your sign at odds with Mercury, which is an indication that family discussions might be dicey. It’s important to know that your views (about whatever’s happening) might suddenly change. In fact, because this is likely, lighten up.
If Your Birthday Is Today
TV journalist Anderson Cooper (1967) shares your birthday today. You are pioneering and independent. You’re intellectually restless; and enjoy solitude. This is the last year of a nine-year cycle, which means it’s time to take inventory. Let go of people, places and things that have held you back. Do internal and external housecleaning. Be more compassionate and loving.

Aries (March 21-April 19)
A childish Tuesday as you seem to put your stubbornness above what others are wanting and to make matters worse, we are not referring to some strangers but to your own family.
So this ought to make things a bit tense. Good news from abroad though and this will probably cheer up the mood, of course, if you decide to share them.
You can also read this special Aries Daily Horoscope.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
You shouldn’t let yourself influenced by past opinions, especially if you don’t want to be treated with the same prejudice.
It seems that this Tuesday is here to teach you about second chances and to show you how radically certain experiences can change people. An opportunity for some financial gain might show up late.
You can also read this special Taurus Daily Horoscope.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
You will benefit from a bit of an interval of solitude early on in the morning and this will help you organize your mind and get some self-confidence brewing.
It will help, especially because during the day you will have to deal with people in a group. You are productive and this will probably be remarked by one of your superiors.
You can also read this special Gemini Daily Horoscope.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Use this Tuesday to set your priorities straight for the week or else you will start losing time. If you don’t have a particular goal in mind and a destination attached to it, you are more prone to letting go of things and of postponing others.
Surprisingly enough, a colleague is going to offer you a helping hand you haven’t even thought of.
You can also read this special Cancer Daily Horoscope.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
You are advised to take a step back and look at everything someone has done for you, either in the past period or in general, in your life.
This is a day for celebration and recognition and now you are in the position to lead it. It’s a great occasion to give what is best from you because you are more generous and empathic than ever.
You can also read this special Leo Daily Horoscope.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
A day full of experiences, most likely referring to your professional advancement. But this doesn’t mean that you can’t use this to tone down your emotions or general instability.
You need to learn from the barriers you are getting down at work. Some collaborators of the people you work with or for might specifically request to work with you.
You can also read this special Virgo Daily Horoscope.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
A Tuesday of the heart ahead of you as you are fighting emotional for certain values you cherish and perhaps against someone who is way too superficial and threatening them.
You have the chance to come in contact with a special person, most likely during the morning so try not to postpone any outing you have around that time.
You can also read this special Libra Daily Horoscope.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
It seems that this Tuesday is going to be quite transparent in regard to your behavior and also that of others.
You will be able to showcase your qualities, work to better yourself but at the same time, those around will be able to notice your defects. The other way around also functions and will see whether you take advantage of that.
You can also read this special Scorpio Daily Horoscope.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
The clearer you speak, no matter if your voice trembles, the easier it is going to be for you later on. This is a great day to be honest, admit things about yourself or speak up in regard to what you want.
For some natives, this might have just a family dimension while others will speak to the whole world about their real self.
You can also read this special Sagittarius Daily Horoscope.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
You are enticed by some kind of long term plan and although it is not yours and you have not tested it, you really want to follow it.
Well, you are allowed to dip your fingers in the ocean but will see how far you will go. The stars are quick to show you any faults that might appear on the way so you only need to keep your eyes open to see them.
You can also read this special Capricorn Daily Horoscope.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Someone is going to serve you or do you a big favor and you won’t probably know how to react to that. The confusion will be even more obvious in the lives of those natives who have not needed help or had no idea that was about to happen.
If you take a moment to think about it, you will probably come up with a solution to this moral dilemma.
You can also read this special Aquarius Daily Horoscope.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
It appears that your hands are quite full this Tuesday, and not necessarily with work. You are in a dreamy like state and prefer to make all kind of scenarios until you fall all overwhelmed by their complexity.
You are the master of your own destiny but at times, you need to tend to the dull stuff as well.

June 3, 2025 Current Southern Hemisphere/Tomorrow’s Northern Hemisphere Moon Phase

Source: nineplanets.org
The current moon phase for June 3rd, 2025 is the First Quarter phase.
On this day, the moon is 7.69 days old and 54.9% illuminated with a tilt of 155.188°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 397,577.27 km and the moon sign is Virgo.
The Moon phase for June 3rd, 2025 is the First Quarter phase. In this phase, exactly half of the moon is illuminated and half is in darkness.
The First Quarter phase comes roughly 7 days after the New Moon and this is when the moon has completed one quarter of its orbit around the Earth (hence the name, First Quarter). The moon will be high overhead at sunset in this phase and will be visible until mid-night, when it sets in the west.
The First Quarter of the moon phase cycle happens on one day. It’s followed by the intermediate phase, Waxing Gibbous, and will become more illuminated every day until it reaches the Full Moon phase.
Assuming it’s a clear night, the Waxing Gibbous moon will then be visible through most of the night before setting just before sunrise.
Fun fact: if you live in the Northern Hemisphere, the right side of the moon will be illuminated during the First Quarter. If you live in the Southern Hemisphere, the left side is illuminated.

Welcome to WOTC! A Thought for Today
Friday we got home early and I work on getting our yard tidied up. In clearing weeds and other things out along the fence I touched something that caused a bad allergic reaction to the point I couldn’t sit or lay anywhere to help stop the itching. Than yesterday we move a party tent off our porch to take to my middle son and I messed up my lower back pinching the right sciatic nerve which laid me flat and is still bad today. I’m alternately using ice and heat along with prescription pain medication and healing spell to help it heal. Since I haven’t got the monthly posts up yet I am going to do those today and limited regular posting. All the birth horoscope traits are caught up.
Thank you once again for supporting me through another physical rough spot!

Attention:
Surgical operations are generally recommended during the Waning Moon, because human body is healing better after surgery. However, try to avoid surgeries of the organs under the influence of the zodiac sign the Moon is in on the day of the surgery. These organs are more sensitive when the Moon is passing the sign they are affiliated with and their surgery is not recommended.

Summary:
June brings a slow and introspective energy as Pluto remains retrograde for deep internal transformation. Uranus and Neptune continue in their pre-shadow phases, indicating upcoming awakenings and spiritual shifts. Saturn also enters pre-shadow, highlighting future responsibilities and lessons. Venus and Mars remain direct, providing opportunities for love and action, but with a caution towards long-term decisions. Mercury stays direct for most of the month, but its pre-shadow starts at the very end, inviting reflection on past communication and thought patterns.
Final Thought:
June is a month of preparation and reflection. With Pluto retrograde and the outer planets in pre-shadow, it’s a good time to focus on introspection and long-term planning rather than making major changes. The direct movement of Venus and Mars allows for steady progress in relationships and personal goals, but the pre-shadow energies of Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune urge caution in decisions and remind us to pay attention to the deeper lessons unfolding.

Please read this first:
1) Moon Phase x Moon Zodiac Sign:
Please keep in mind, that Gardening by Moon Phase and Gardening by Moon Zodiac Sign are two different/independent biodynamic systems and they might give you different or contradictiory gardening recommendations.
- a) Each Moon Phase (except Full Moon and New Moon) lasts about 1 week
- b) Each Moon Zodiac Sign lasts about 2.5 days
Try to experiment with these two systems to find which recommendations suits you the most.
2) Tropical (Astrological) x Sidereal (Astronomical) Zodiac:
(1-2 days difference in Leaf, Fruit, Root and Flower days)
There are two different zodiacs for determining the Moon Sign:
- a) Tropical zodiac (Astrological) is based on the seasons – Vernal Equinox is fixed as 0° Aries (The 1st Fruit day)
- b) Sidereal zodiac (Astronomical) takes into account Precession of Equinoxes and shifts 0° Aries back by cca 1-2 days. Maria Thun who was an authority on biodynamics was using this Sidereal zodiac
Try to experiment also with these two zodiac systems to find which system suits you better.

June 2025 Moon Details
June 2025 Moon Details Source: moongiant.com
The Full Moon for this month will occur in the second week on Wednesday, June 11th. The New Moon will happen later in June on Wednesday, June 25th.
The June Full Strawberry Moon
The sweetest full moon of the year is June’s full moon, commonly known as the Full Strawberry Moon. While the full moon itself is inedible, despite how round and delicious it may seem, the Full Strawberry Moon marks strawberry harvesting season in North America. Most Algonquin tribes understood that it was a sign that wild strawberries were starting to ripen and ready for the harvest. Delicious though ripe strawberries may be, June’s full moon has another name that’s even sweeter.
What could possibly be sweeter than strawberries? Try honey. In Europe, June’s full moon was actually known as the Honey Moon. Other European names for it included the Hot Moon, signifiying the beginning of hot summer days, or Hay Moon, because of the first hay harvest. Those names aside, European names for the Full Strawberry Moon overall tend to have sweet, romantic connotations – a good example is the name Full Rose Moon. June’s full moon is also called Mead Moon, which could refer to the mowing of meadows during summer, but there’s another more romantic interpretation as well.
In Europe, it’s traditional to gift mead or honey to a newlywed couple during their first moon of marriage. The name Honey Moon itself has now become a common word in the English language, used to refer to the honeymoon holiday that couples go on right after they’re married. It used to be that newlyweds in ancient Europe would go on a sweet romantic holiday around the time of June’s full moon, because the moon phases were seen as a symbol for the phases of a marriage, with the full moon signifying the fullest and happiest part, the wedding itself.
The Full Strawberry Moon is tied to romance and marital bliss all around the world. In India, for example, June’s full moon is celebrated as Vat Purnima, where married women perform a ceremonial ritual to show their love for their husbands. Vat Purnima is based off a legend from the Mahabharata, about a beautiful woman, Savitri, who is determined to save her husband, Satyavan, who is doomed to die an early death. Savitri fasts for three days before Satyavan dies, upon which she successfully negotiates with the King of Hell for the resurrection of her husband. Similarly, married women nowadays dress up in beautiful saris, fast, and tie a thread around a banyan tree seven times to wish that their husbands will lead long, happy lives.
It is no wonder, then, that the Pagans also call June’s full moon the Lovers’ Moon. This is an excellent time to work on the connections in your life, romantic or otherwise, by showing affection to your loved ones and allowing yourself to be vulnerable to encourage intimacy in your relationships. During this Honey Moon, some Hoodoo practitioners will even use honey in magic rituals to sweeten other people’s feelings towards the practitioner. An example of a sweetening ritual is to pour honey into a saucer containing the target’s name, before lighting a candle on top of it. Another example of a honey ritual is to tie two poppets together with honey between them, in order to heal a broken relationship between two people. Honey rituals aside, true magic may happen when you invest your time and effort during this month to work on your relationships and appreciate the love you have in your life.

I Am Taking Today Off
I way over did it yesterday working on spring clean up of our yard. I had done the same on Sunday. Between the two days and silly weather here I am in a lot of pain today. I get out there thoroughly enjoying working with Mother Earth and listening to the birds sing that I do more than I should and pay for it when my body says enough is enough I’m going to slow you down one way or the other.

If you’d like to see what I have done, Crystal, and Merlin outside I have shorts up on my youtube channel. I will soon be doing some videos on witchcraft. There will be some beginners information, rituals, spellwork and whatever else I think I should post. This is one of the ways I am branching out for a creative activity. If you stop by please leave a comment on any of the shorts of things you would like me to consider doing a video on or just leave a comment here. They’ll start soonish after I get over being nervous about being live on a video. I may do live streams on Esbats and/or Sabbats. If you would be interested in joining me through chat, which can be away for us to gather and just talk with each other, on a live stream let me know.

Spell for Tomorrow – The “Enchanted Evening” Elemental Spell
(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY)
LOVE SPELL WARNING: Love spells such as this one take the person who you want to love you free will/spirit away. What happens with a spell like this is the person will become obsessed with you to the point of possibly losing their job, which in turn can make them lose their home, automobile, friends, their family, etc. I have heard of people under love spells dying from not eating or drinking when they are not in the presence of the spellcaster 24/7/365. So, unless you want some who only loves you because of a spell you put on them then go for it. But if you want someone to love you because they feel that emotion towards you then please do not do this spell. The same warning goes for animals, birds, reptiles, or anything else that has a heart and can create a bond with someone.
Looking to put a little passion back into your love life? How do you feel about working with the four elements and Lilith, our goddess of power and passion? There are times when even the most loving relationship needs a little oomph. So, if you simply want to spice things up with your partner in the bedroom, well, hey, Lilith’s your best bet! But be careful; she has a wicked sense of humor. Calling on Lilith for some extra spark or desire works very well, and you may feel like you have a magickal hangover in the morning. A small price to pay … just don’t say that I didn’t warn you.
Let’s get all of your senses involved. This spell is a sensual and sensory experience. To represent the four elements in this spell, light a few black or red candles to represent sent the element of fire. Burn dragon’s blood incense to represent the element of air. To symbolize water, open a bottle of red wine and drink from the same cup as your partner. Finally, sprinkle the sheets with some crimson-colored rose petals to represent the element of earth.
And at the risk of sounding like a mom, while you’re setting this stage for loving seduction, don’t forget to practice safe sex!
Ask for Lilith’s blessings by using the following lowing invocation:
Lilith, dark goddess, teach me to love, laugh and be wise
Aid me in my witchery as you sail through the skies
By the natural magick of air, water, earth, and fire
I manifest the gifts of love, seduction, and desire
By the elements four, this spell is now begun
As I will, so shall it be, and let it harm none.

May 30, 2025 Current Southern Hemisphere/Tomorrow’s Northern Hemisphere Moon Phase

Source: nineplanets.org
The current moon phase for May 30th, 2025 is the Waxing Crescent phase.
On this day, the moon is 3.57 days old and 15.09% illuminated with a tilt of 138.717°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 374,486.81 km and the moon sign is Cancer.
The Moon phase for May 30th, 2025 is a Waxing Crescent phase. This is the phase where the moon started to become visible again after the New Moon.
In this part of the moon cycle, the Moon is moving away from the Sun and is becoming more and more illuminated by sunlight. In this phase, the moon will go from 0.1% to 49.9% illuminated before reaching the First Quarter phase.
In the Waxing Crescent phase the moon rises before noon in the east, transits the meridian before sunset, before setting in the west before midnight.
Fun fact: although only a small part of the Moon is illuminated in the Waxing Crescent phase, you can still sometimes see the rest of moon as faintly visible. This is known as “earthshine” or Da Vinci glow and is a result of sunlight being reflected off the Earth and back to the Moon.
