The Full Moon of June: A Special Solstice Strawberry Moon!

The Full Strawberry Moon on June 21 is the lowest full Moon in many years. What does this mean? Expect a beautiful full Moon that looks extra-large and is reddish-orange colored. Learn more about this special solstice Moon from Bob Berman.

When to See the Full Moon in June 2024

This year, the Full Moon coincides with the summer solstice! On the evening of June 21 —just after sunset—look towards the southeast to watch the full Moon rise gently above the horizon. June’s full Moon will reach peak illumination at 9:08 P.M. Eastern Time. See the Full Moon Calculator for your local time.

Why the Solstice Moon is Special

This is an unusual full Moon, which I highlighted in my 2024 astronomical highlights.

The June Moon begins its Moon Phase cycle as the “New Moon” on June 6. Then, night after night, the hair-thin crescent will grow fatter until it waxes all the way to its first-quarter phase on the 14th.  That’s when it will hover due south on the meridian at sunset and offer binocular and telescope owners perfectly shadowed lunar terrain.

After that, meaning these next couple of weeks, the Moon enters its waxing gibbous phase, the odd football shape that still boasts ideal highlighting of lunar features since sunlight continues to strike the Moon’s surface at a sharp, shadow- Click here to read the rest of this article

Devil’s Pod Hex and Curse Breaker

Ever feel like you were hexed or cursed? Clear the negativity with this hex breaker that uses Devil’s Pods and dried herbs. When you are finished, place the pod facing away from you to ward off and keep nasty vibes at bay.

ITEMS NEEDED

One Devil’s Pod

Dried Basil

Dried Bay Leaf

Mustard Seed

Black or White Candle

1. Open the hole the in the top of the pod. Tweezers work well, but you can use a chopstick or skewer as well.

Looking for Devil’s Pods? You can find them here.

2. Crush the bay leaf and add the bay leaf, mustard seed, and basil into the pod.

*Tip: If you have a straw or small funnel it is helpful.

3. Dress the candle with ritual oil or an essential oil that is good for banishing such as frankincense or peppermint. For this spell, I used our custom and potent Fire Witch Oil.

4. Light the candle and hold it over the hole of the pod. Let the wax drip down until the hole of the pod is sealed and then extinguish the candle.

5. Recite the incantation and focus on breaking and blocking any hexes and bad energy that have been sent your way. Set the pod facing away from you to ward off bad vibes, hexes, and negativity.

“No more shall this evil last,

Any hex I break that has been cast.”

Associated with the planet Mars

Zodiac sSgns of both Aries and Scorpio, and although Scorpio is a water sign,

Elemental correspondence of Fire.

All of these factors lead to a favorable time for energy work, creativity, justice work, spells for assertion—even to the extent of aggression. This would be a great day for any social justice advocacy spells, or even a baneful working if the need calls for it. Also, summoning courage, strength and passion for yourself or someone else would be favorable on this day.

Color orange for any candle magick.

Gods/Goddesses: Mars, the God of War, gives this day that added confrontational vibe. He is a god who takes no crap from anyone. Channeling him to help you tap into the assertive aspect of yourself will be helpful, especially if you are a person who struggles with implementing boundaries.

Moon Phase for Tuesday June 18th and Wednesday, June 19, 2024

Northern Hemisphere

June 18, 2024

The current moon phase for today is the Waxing Gibbous phase.

On this day, the moon is 12.29 days old and 88.48% illuminated with a tilt of 140.147°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 394,361.15 km and the moon sign is Scorpio.

The Moon phase for today 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.

May sorrow be unknown, and any negativity be minimal. May the wind always be at your back.

Being a Gemini born on June 16th, you seem to be one of those enthusiastic and dynamic people. You are always ready to expand your knowledge, whether this means reading something or through experience.

Your friends know that when you say that you will do something, that will surely happen. With a playful nature, you get along great with young people. Prepare to read a detailed horoscope profile below.

 The zodiac sign for June 16 is Gemini.

 Astrological symbol: Twins. This relates to a willful individual with meaningful strength and stamina. This is the symbol for people born between May 21 and June 20 when the Sun is considered to be in Gemini.

 The Gemini Constellation is one of the twelve constellations of the zodiac, with the brightest star being Pollux. It lies between Taurus to the West and Cancer to the East, covering an area of only 514 square degrees between visible latitudes of +90° and -60°.

 In Greece it is named Dioscuri while the Spanish call it Geminis. However, the Latin origin of the Twins, the June 16 zodiac sign is Gemini.

 Opposite sign: Sagittarius. Partnerships between the Gemini and Sagittarius sun signs are considered auspicious and the opposite sign reflects upon the surrounding revelation and curiosity.

 Modality: Mobile. This quality of those born on June 16 suggests diligence and orderliness and also offers a sense of their humoristic nature.

 Ruling house: The third house. This means that Gemini is influenced towards communication, human interactions and extensive travelling. This house controls communication skills and thirst for knowledge through social contact.

 Ruling body: Mercury. This celestial planet reveals fearlessness and enthusiasm and also highlights consciousness. Mercury is one of the seven classical planets that are visible to the naked eye.

 Element: Air. This element suggests an emotional experimentation of life through each of its stages and a sense of approachability throughout for people born on June 16. When associated with the other three elements, it either heats, dissipates or smothers them.

 Lucky day: Wednesday. This tidy day for those born under Gemini is ruled by Mercury thus symbolizes aspiration and solidification.

 Lucky numbers: 3, 7, 15, 19, 22.

 Motto: “I think!”

 People born on June 16 are charming, adventurous and possess an extended expertise in many domains as they are genuinely curious. Just like a true Gemini, they are also playful and enthusiastic almost all the time. They appreciate the occasions to travel abroad and also making new friends. They dislike the feelings of permanence, boredom and loneliness. Those born under this sign enjoy social gatherings with a high number of people, like concerts or outdoor sport events.

 Positive traits: Searching for adventure and trying to expand their horizon is the law these natives respect. This is what triggers their vivacity and optimism. They are also caring and warm hearted with their peers but only when their own emotional and social needs are being met. They are both tactful and direct and seem to adapt between these two quite easily but not necessarily in the way that is expected of them.

 Negative traits: One of the things Gemini needs to learn is to show consistency in their actions. Those born on this day are restless and frequently superficial. They can be easily irritated and have moments when they are so self absorbed that it’s like there is no one else in the whole world but them. They tend to get hasty when faced with too many choice and hurry up with an answer without even considering all their options. They seem to be doing the same thing when the have to take more decisions at a time.

Love and Compatibility: Lovers born on June 16 are extremely attractive and versatile. They like to discover new persons and they seem to center all their life on a person but then suddenly they get bored and slip away. They are attracted to lively and imaginative persons who can keep up with their lifestyle. You can conquer the heart of Gemini if you know how to reveal your personality step by step so you always keep them guessing and wanting more. You also need to come to an understanding with their love of freedom and eccentricities.

 They’re a gentle and reserved lover that would rather suffer from unrequited love than fight to win the heart of the one they love. Their relationships are likely to grow on friendships as they need time to know the person that stays beside them. Despite the fact that they are friendly and a generally happy person it is quite difficult for them to settle for someone, probably because they are expecting things to happen instead of making them happen. They are most compatible with those born on 1st, 2nd, 10th, 11th, 19th, 20th, 28th and 29th.

 June 16 Zodiac people are most attracted to the other air signs: Libra and Aquarius as they tend to share the same vision of life. In love, Gemini is permanently seeking for someone who can truly listen to them and help them grow to their full potential and the best to offer this occasion is the native born under Sagittarius. The lover in Gemini is said to be least compatible with Taurus. As for the rest of partnerships between the other star signs and Gemini, you know what they say, stars predispose but people dispose.

Lucky Color: Yellow is the color said to be representative for Gemini people born with June 16.

Yellow as a hue, is the symbol of youth, light and happiness. This is the easiest to see color and it is associated with creativity and intellectual energy. This zodiac color should be used in objects that surround the natives.

People who have yellow as sign color are determined, intelligent and cheerful. They seem to take their energy from light and sunshine and are always on the go, always ready to take action and leadership.

This birthstone sooths and calms the energetic Gemini and helps them orient their energy in making themselves and their ideas understood by other people. This gemstone comes in red, earth tones and white shades.

Spell For Thursday – Silver Spell for Money

(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER)

 Silver Spell for Money

(This ritual takes a week to perform)

Situate a small bowl of any material in a place of prominence in your home, somewhere you pass by every day. Each day for seven days put one dime in the bowl. Next, obtain a green candle, any shape or kind.

Before you begin, fix in your mind the idea that you are a prosperous person. See money as being no problem. Imagine money coming to you, as you need it. Place the bowl of dimes or pennies, the candle and a candle holder on a flat surface. Hold the candles in your hands and feel the power of money.

Feel the avenues that open to you when you have it. Sense the energy within money which we as human beings have given to it. Place the candle in the holder. Pour the seven dimes into your left hand. You will create a circle surrounding the candles with the dimes. Place the first dime directly before the candle. As you place it say there or similar words:

“Money flow, money shine
Money grow, Money’s mine.”

 

Repeat this 6 more times until you’ve created a circle around the candle with seven gleaming pennies (or dimes.) As you say the words and place the dimes, know that you’re not just reciting and fooling around with pieces of metal. You’re working with power – that which we’ve given money as well as that which is within yourself.

Words too have energy, as does the breathe on which they ride.

When you’ve completed this, light the candle. Strike a match and touch its tip to the wick. As it puts up the fire, sputters, to a shining flames, see money burning these. See the power of money flowing out from the seven dimes up to the candle’s flames and then out to the atmosphere. Blow out the match and settle down before the glowing candle and money.

 

Sense the feeling of money in your life. Visualize a life with money to spare – a life in which bills are quickly paid and money will never again be a problem. See yourself wisely spending money, investing it for your future needs. See money as an unavoidable and beautiful aspect of your life. Kill off any thoughts of debt, of taxes, of doubt that you can achieve this change.

 

Simply see what will be. After ten minutes or so, leave the area. Let the candle burn itself out in the holder. Afterward, collect the dimes, place them back in the bowl, & “feed” it a few coins every day from then on. Add words to ask that the money comes with harm to none…. and money will come to you.

Ahhh Jupiter, you giant dick. While he is the go-to for power, money and good fortune, he’s about the long game. Fast money? Nope. He will give you more of what you have, so if you’re broke, you may be even more impoverished if you use any of his influence. Be careful with them herbs. Looking for justice? Thursday. Signing contracts or making big money moves? Thursday. Abundance looks different to everyone, but this is the day of plenty….sometimes that is just plenty of what you already have man. I’m serious here. My money spells done in the past before I got my shit together created lasting wounds. Expansion is painful when it comes from a space of lack. I said “I need money! I am broke” and he said “Hold my beer you desperate witch” and then I cried. Great money day if you are attracting what you are, but not what you want. I speak from my own experience and yours may differ, but if your money spells have backfired, look at the day and associations. If you see anything, take note. Everyone is different but I am not even ashamed to say that it took me years to figure this one out for my own magic. Good day for court and child support I must say.

Moon Phase for Thursday Jun 13th and Friday Jun 14th, 2024

Northern Hemisphere

June 13, 2024

The current moon phase for June 13th, 2024 is the Waxing Crescent phase.

On this day, the moon is 7.15 days old and 43.9% illuminated with a tilt of 155.272°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 403,436.60 km and the moon sign is Virgo.

The Moon phase for June 13th, 2024 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.

The Waxing Crescent 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. The moon is close to the Sun in the sky and the right edge will become brighter as it approaches 50% illumination and the First Quarter phase

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.

The current moon phase for June 14th, 2024 is the First Quarter phase.

On this day, the moon is 8.17 days old and 53.71% illuminated with a tilt of 155.629°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 404,068.62 km and the moon sign is Virgo.

The Moon phase for June 14th, 2024 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.

Spell For Wednesday – Ra: Devotional Prayer for the Sun

(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER)

Ra: Devotional Prayer for the Sun

Light a yellow or golden candle during this devotional.

Incense for Ra:

Frankincense, Sandalwood, Lemongrass.

Offerings to Ra:

Apples, Oranges, Lemons, Honey, Beer, Dates, Sunflowers.

Ra is the Sun god in Egyptian mythology.

The symbol of sunlight, giver of life, as well as responsible for the cycle of death and resurrection. He is the god who represents the midday sun, at its maximum splendor.

At the beginning of the Old Kingdom, Ra was just one of several existing solar deities, but around BCE he had become the official god of the pharaohs, who considered themselves his children, and even his incarnations. During Dynasty V his status was elevated to national deity and later linked to the Theban god Amun to become Amun-Ra, the main deity of the Egyptian pantheon.

His most usual representation was that of a man with a hawk’s head, on which he carried the solar disk. Another form of worship given to this deity was as Ra-Horajti, a solar god with a hawk’s head, crowned by the solar disk and a halo, with a Was-sceptre and an ankh.

This prayer can be used as part of you daily Wiccan devotional routine, or in a spell where you want to add attributes related to the Sun, such as Fire, heat, growth, or success.

Devotional text

O solar disk, lord of radiance, rising on the horizon every day,

may you shine on the face of your servant.

I have come before you; may I be with you to see your Disk every day.

I praise you when you shine,

And I speak to you when you rise.

You bring morning to exalt your forms,

and you ascend to magnify your beauties.

Advancing, you fashion your limbs in gold;

You turn your face to the west,

and my arms are raised in acclamation of your setting in life;

indeed, it is you who who is eternally praised when you set in the Celestial Waters.

I place you in my heart without weakness, more divine than the gods.

Praise to you, rising as gold,

bringing dawn to the Two Lands on the day of your birth.

You have brightened the circuit of the solar disk with great brightness,

rising from the Celestial Waters.

Causing every land, every town, and every house to celebrate,

protected by your beauties,

holding up your soul with food and drink offerings.

You will sail over the substance of heaven;

you will join with the stars.

Hymns will be made for you in the boat;

you will be called in the Morning Boat.

I will see you in your shrine,

As you make your disk to set every day,

drawing on the Evening Boat to its arrival.

May you have a fair wind, as the boat sets out on its journey,

and sails on till it comes into port.

The gods of the South, the gods of the North,

the gods of the West, and the gods of the East praise you,

Make my spirit-soul to be glorious,

make my Heart-soul to be divine.

You are worshipped as you set, Lord of the gods,

you are exalted by reason of your wondrous works.

Shine you with the rays of light on my body day by day, on me.

Spell For Tuesday-Inviting Faries into Your Garden

(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER)

Inviting Faries into Your Garden

Fairy Invitation Ritual

If you want to specifically invite fairies into your garden, try the following ritual.

What You’ll Need

  • flowers (see above)
  • white candle
  • the offering of quartz and cream/whole milk

What to Do
This ritual is best performed around Beltane or Midsummer but can be performed any time of the year your garden is blooming. Begin by setting your flowers, candle, and offerings on your garden or fairy altar. Light the candle and say,

“Fair fairies from near and far,
I invite you to dance in my yard.
Please stay awhile,
And brighten my garden with your smiles.
Bless these herbs and flowers,
And fill them with magical powers.
Use your magic to help them grow,
By the light of the moon’s glow.
Accept these giftes I give to thee,
By my will, so mote it be.”

Once you are finished, spend time with your altar until the candle burns low. Try and sense the fairies you have invited. You may feel the hair on your arms stand up or as if something is playing with your hair or ear. Leave the offerings on the altar overnight. Do not consume any of the food offerings you leave for the fairies. It is considered rude and disrespectful. Also, don’t expect the offering to disappear. Fairies consume the astral or spiritual essence of the offering. Leave the quartz on the altar indefinitely.

Remember to record the ritual in your BOS or on your ritual log worksheet.

Why You Did It
This spell, as mentioned, is best performed on or around Beltane or Midsummer. The reason for this is because these are two times when the veil for fairies is thin and therefore they are most likely to come out and be willing to take up residence in your garden. However, fairies can be called upon any time of the year, so feel free to use it whenever you get the change.

The candle helps to focus your spell and gives the fairies a light to use to guide them to your garden. Your candle will burn in this realm and the Otherworld, acting as a beacon to draw the fairies to you.

Fairies don’t like to be thanked, but they love to be shown respect in the form of food and shiny objects. Milk, cream, beer, or any of the other food offerings mentioned above are fairy favorites. Including such an offering in our ritual will likely attract fairies to your garden and act as a thank you without you verbally thanking them. You want to make sure the fairies are happy, otherwise, they are prone to cause mischief. The flowers are used for the same reason.

Word of Caution

Fairies are fickle and mischievous. Upsetting them can result in problems for you and anyone who steps foot on your property. Do not use pesticides in your garden. This will scare them off and keep them from coming back. Be good to the environment and animals. Fairies are creatures of the Earth; if you disrespect Her, fairies won’t come to your garden, no matter how much milk and honey you offer them.

If the fairies become unruly or you wish them to leave, tell them to. Cleanse your garden and home and tell the fairies you no longer need their assistance. If they still will not leave, try placing iron in your garden and around your home. Iron burns fairies so it’s a great deterrent.
