🌑 Wednesday’s New Moon does not arrive alone.

On August 12, the Moon will pass between the Earth and the Sun, bringing a Solar Eclipse beneath the New Moon in Leo.

And long before we had charts, apps, or scientific explanations for what was happening above us, an eclipse was something our ancestors stopped for.

Across cultures, the sudden darkening of the Sun became wrapped in folklore.

Some believed a great creature was swallowing the Sun.

Others saw eclipses as omens marking the end of one chapter and the beginning of another.

People gathered, prayed, made offerings, sounded drums, protected their homes, or simply watched the strange darkness fall across the land.

Because imagine witnessing it without knowing what was happening.

Daylight begins to fade.

The temperature changes.

Animals behave differently.

And the Sun — something humanity had always depended upon — seems to disappear.

No wonder eclipses became associated with thresholds, endings, revelations and forces beyond human control.

And there is another layer to Wednesday’s eclipse that I find especially beautiful.

This New Moon falls in Leo — the sign ruled by the Sun itself.

The very light associated with Leo is temporarily hidden.

To me, that makes this less about rushing to manifest something new and more about asking:

Who am I when I am no longer performing for the light?

What remains when recognition disappears?

What part of me has been waiting in the shadows because I was afraid of being fully seen?

Eclipse energy has never felt like ordinary New Moon energy to me.

I don’t believe every celestial event requires a ritual.

Sometimes the witchiest thing you can do is simply witness.

Stand beneath the sky.

Pay attention to what surfaces.

Let something end without immediately trying to replace it.

Listen to the uncomfortable knowing you’ve been avoiding.

Because darkness is not always an absence.

Sometimes it is where the things we couldn’t see in the light finally become visible.

And perhaps that is the oldest lesson hidden inside an eclipse:

The Sun can disappear from sight without ever truly being gone.

Protection is one of the first things a witch should learn.

Not because we should walk through the world afraid of what might be lurking around every corner.

But because when you begin working with energy, intuition, spirit, divination and ritual, you also begin learning the importance of boundaries.

Witches have understood this for generations.

Salt was placed at thresholds.
Iron was kept near doors and windows.
Rosemary was grown or hung near the home.
Protective symbols were carved into beams, tucked beneath floorboards and hidden near entrances.
Bells, brooms, herbs and charms all found their place in the protection of home and hearth.

And there is something I love about that old wisdom.

Protection wasn’t always elaborate.

Sometimes it was a handful of salt.
A sprig gathered from the garden.
An iron object that had been in the family for years.
A few whispered words spoken while closing the door at night.

The power wasn’t in how beautiful the ritual looked.

It was in the intention behind it.

Even now, protection is a regular part of my own practice.

Before deeper spiritual work.
Around my home.
When my energy feels off.
When I’ve been around too many people.
And sometimes simply because my intuition tells me it’s time.

You don’t have to wait until something feels wrong to protect your energy.

Protection is maintenance.

It is tending the boundary between what is yours and what is not.

And perhaps that is one of the oldest lessons witchcraft continues to teach us:

Know what you welcome.

Know what you don’t.

And know how to guard the space in between.

This is your Monday reset.

Not everything from last week is meant to follow you here.

Some of it was meant to teach you… some of it was meant to slow you down… and some of it was never yours to carry in the first place.

You can set it down now.
Not all at once.
Not perfectly.
Just… intentionally.

🌿 Step outside and let the air touch your skin
🌿 Hold something warm and give yourself a moment to feel it
🌿 Open your space and let new energy move through
🌿 Place your hand over your heart and come back to your breath
🌿 Choose one thing — one thought, one weight — and release it
Even the smallest reset shifts something.

You are not starting over… you are continuing, with more awareness than before.

Let that be enough.

Blessed Moonday 🌙🖤

May the Moon remind you that you do not have to be the same version of yourself you were yesterday.

You are allowed to shift.
To change your mind.
To outgrow what once felt right.
To become softer in some places and stronger in others.

The Moon has never apologized for her phases.

Neither should you.

Blessed Moonday, witches. 🌙✨

I think one of the hardest things I’ve had to learn is that stepping into your power doesn’t always feel powerful at first.

Sometimes it feels uncomfortable as hell.

Because suddenly you’re saying no where you used to say yes.

You’re not explaining yourself ten different ways hoping someone understands.

You’re realizing that keeping the peace has cost you your own peace more times than you’d like to admit.

And you start noticing all the places you’ve made yourself smaller just to make other people comfortable.

I’ve done it.

I’ve questioned myself when I already knew the answer.
I’ve given chances after I knew better.
I’ve stayed silent because speaking up felt like it would create more problems than it solved.

But there comes a point where you have to decide that you’re done abandoning yourself.

That, to me, is stepping into your power.

Not becoming harder.
Not thinking you’re better than anyone.
Not suddenly having everything figured out.

Just finally trusting yourself enough to stop asking permission to be who you already are.

And if you’re somewhere in that part of your journey right now…

Keep going.

You’re not becoming someone new.

You’re finally meeting the version of yourself you kept putting aside for everyone else.

Salt has always been used for protection…
but not in the way most people think.

It doesn’t just block things out.
It absorbs.
It pulls in what doesn’t belong—
energy, emotion, residue that lingers longer than it should.

That’s why it’s been placed at doorways,
lined along thresholds,
and left in bowls throughout a space.

Not as decoration…
but as something that’s actively working.

Salt has been used across traditions for purification and protection— to cleanse a space, to hold what needs to be removed, and to create a boundary where one didn’t exist before.

Some people keep it near entrances.
Some leave it out to absorb what’s been sitting too long.
Some use it in baths, or carry it with herbs for protection.

Different forms carry different purposes—
black salt for stronger protection and banishing,
sea salt for general cleansing,
but all of it comes back to the same thing:
It takes in what shouldn’t stay.
And once it does its job…
it’s not meant to be kept.
It’s meant to be replaced.
Washed away. Let go.

I think there’s something important in that.
Not everything is meant to be held onto— especially the things that were never yours to carry.

Salt knows when to take something in…
and when it’s time to release it.

Maybe we’re meant to learn that too.

Blessed Sunday, witches. 🖤🌿

There is something sacred about a Sunday morning when you stop treating it as the end of one week and begin seeing it as the threshold of another.

Before you decide what needs tending, fixing, finishing, or becoming… come back to yourself.

Call your energy home.

From the conversations you keep replaying.
From the places your mind wandered while your body was somewhere else.
From the people you have poured too much of yourself into.
From old worries, unfinished stories, and things that were never yours to carry.

Our ancestors understood the importance of tending the unseen just as carefully as the seen. A home could be swept. A doorway could be cleansed. Herbs could be hung. Candles could be lit. But there was also the tending of self—the gathering back of spirit after life had scattered it in too many directions.

So perhaps that is the work for today.

Light a candle. Open a window. Wash your hands in cool water. Stand barefoot upon the earth if you can.

And say:

I call my energy back to me.
I release what does not belong to me.
I enter this new week whole, protected, and entirely my own.

May your home feel sacred.
May your spirit feel steady.
And may whatever finds you this week meet you standing fully within your own power.

🌿 Blessed Sunday, witches.

To my witches…

The ones who have always felt a little different.

The ones who notice when the birds suddenly go silent, who feel the air change before the storm arrives, who find meaning in feathers on the path and herbs growing where they weren’t planted.

The ones who talk to the moon like an old friend.

The ones who have learned that intuition doesn’t always arrive as some grand mystical moment. Sometimes it’s simply the feeling in your stomach that says not this way. Sometimes it’s a dream you can’t shake. Sometimes it’s knowing something before you have any reason to know it.

And to the witches who are still figuring all of this out…

You don’t need an elaborate altar.

You don’t need shelves full of crystals.

You don’t need to know every herb, every moon phase, every piece of folklore or every old tradition.

Pay attention.

That is where so much of the old magic begins.

Notice what keeps appearing.

Learn the plants growing outside your own door.

Watch the moon change.

Listen to the stories your grandmothers told.

Trust the things your spirit recognizes before your mind understands them.

There are a thousand ways to walk this path, and yours does not have to look like anyone else’s.

Some witches grow gardens.

Some read cards.

Some speak to their ancestors.

Some study folklore until the pages nearly fall apart.

Some simply stand barefoot beneath the moon and remember there is something ancient about belonging to the earth.

So, to my witches…

Keep learning.

Keep noticing.

Keep following the strange little breadcrumbs that seem to find you at exactly the right time.

The old ways were never meant to make us all the same.

They were meant to help us remember how to listen.

🐈‍⬛✨ Happy International Cat Day, witches.

Long before cats curled themselves into our beds and claimed the warmest spot in the house, they carried a little mystery with them.

Across centuries of folklore, cats have been guardians of the home, companions of witches, symbols of intuition, and creatures believed to notice what human eyes could not.

The ancient Egyptians honored them.
Sailors welcomed them aboard ships for protection and good fortune.
And in old European folklore, the cat became tangled with tales of witches, familiars, spirits, and the unseen.

Perhaps that is why living with a cat sometimes feels less like owning one…

and more like being chosen by one.

They stare into empty corners.
Wake suddenly as though something entered the room.
Sit beside us when our hearts are heavy without being called.
And somehow always seem to know exactly where the energy in a house has shifted.

Maybe our ancestors weren’t entirely wrong when they believed cats walked a little closer to the veil than we do.

So today, give a little extra love to the tiny guardian who prowls your halls, sleeps upon your altar, knocks your crystals onto the floor, or watches you from across the room like they know something you don’t. 😂🐈‍⬛

And if you’ve ever been loved by a cat, you already know…

they were never really ours.
We were theirs.

Happy International Cat Day. 🖤

🦁 THE 8:8 PORTAL READINGS ARE OPEN 🦁

I wanted to do something a little different for the Lion’s Gate Portal today…

So for 8/8 only, I’m opening a special $15 Portal Reading.

This isn’t a general reading.

I’ll be looking specifically at the energy surrounding the doorway you’re standing in right now—

✨ What is closing behind you
✨ What is beginning to open
✨ What you’re being asked to step into
✨ And the message waiting for you on the other side

There are certain moments when we can feel that something is shifting before we can actually see where it’s taking us.

That is the space I want to read today.

$15 energy exchange.

I’m only opening these for the Lion’s Gate Portal, and once I close them, they’re gone. 🦁✨

If you feel pulled toward one, message me or comment “PORTAL.”
