A Book of Shadows


A blood-red full lunar eclipse

March is jam packed with potential and potency for those who dare to step into their innate, internal, natural state, which is one of MAGICK.


There is a full lunar eclipse, also known as a Blood Moon on 3/14/25 (check out my Blood Moon Ritual Meditation class!) And there will also be a partial solar eclipse on 3/29/25 as well.


The Blood Moon eclipse will give us a chance to push through what normally is difficult or seemingly impossible for us. With the energy it provides, we can create space for our own transformation and step into a new experience.


Eclipses are intense but not in a negative sense. I prefer to use them to help me with deep and meaningful work on an internal level rather than performing the usual types of spells for practical assistance in life.

They are an especially magical time for guided meditations and journeys where we can delve deeper and uncover incredible insights into ourselves and our lives.

I like to cleanse myself and my home more frequently during Eclipse season because the energy can get kicked up more than usual. I’ve been really loving on Mugwort lately for my cleansing rituals but you can also use Sage, Rosemary, Hyssop, Cedar, and Palo Santo. If you’re into resins, Frankincense and Dragons Blood would work really well right now too!🔥


Remember to call on your spiritual allies a little extra during this month for that added protection. Ask your ancestors, angels, and spirit animals/guides to walk with you during your day and especially when you are performing any rituals, spellwork, divination, or meditations. Think of it like “Magical Insurance”. You won’t regret it!

 

“Sometimes the best way to begin a new practice is to just jump right in and start…”


I haven’t done this myself in a while but I’m going to start again~ the daily practice of pulling a few Oracle or Tarot cards to guide the day. 


Whether you’re new to any and all kinds of card divination or you’ve been reading Tarot/Oracles for years, it can be a powerful exercise to do a daily pull of cards.  I’m not talking about a full reading. That’s a whole other thing and takes time and significant focus.  


What I’m suggesting looks like this~


-taking a few deep breaths and clearing your mind. 

-asking your guides and higher self for guidance. 

-concentrating on the simple inquiry of, “what do I need to know today?”

-then mixing up your chosen deck and selecting 3 cards you feel drawn to. 

-write down or take a picture of them and go about your day, trusting that you’ll understand the message. 

-At the end of the day, take a few minutes to reflect on the insights you have from the day and the message of the cards. 

-jot down your thoughts in your Book of Shadows or journal. 


This simple ritual is a multi-layered way to learn your cards, connect with your guides and higher self, and center yourself in a spiritual practice. And we receive valuable insights at the same time. It’s a great way to open our intuition and foster its growth but without a lot of pressure. 🔮


I’m looking forward to starting this process again. I feel I need a little old school and grounding daily ritual to help as we move through this time and into the coming season. I hope you join me! 💞

Even though Amethyst is the most well known stone of February (it’s the classic birthstone of February), as a February baby, I still wanted to give a shout out to one of my all time favorite crystals 🥰


A Third Eye & Crown Chakra crystal, Amethyst is my go to crystal for opening intuition! It helps to ease the way for our third eye chakra to open so that we may more readily receive psychic messages and energies. And it also activates the Crown chakra and our connection to all forms spirituality and the Divine.

It’s a crystal of tranquility as well, making it very useful for effective help with focus during meditation or journey work. 


It helps to bring peace, contentment, and serenity while stomping out impatience.   Amethyst promotes calm and insightful thoughts and reactions to our lives. All of these qualities also foster MINDFULNESS. 


Amethyst can help you build the skill to analyze emotions, appreciate their worth, and then choose whether or not to act on them, or to acknowledge their validity yet set them aside to act on intellectual choices instead.


Because of its strong spiritual and divine energies, it also aids us in any spiritual pursuits and paths. It helps us to trust in the Universe as well as our Higher Selves.

Amethyst is known as a useful aid for combating addictions.  Its ability to create feelings of ease and contentment help to neutralize the stress, heavy thoughts, and cravings. 


I wear and keep a lot of Amethyst around my house. Its energy feels like ‘home’ to me and when it’s comfort or intuition I seek, there’s nothing I gravitate towards more! 🔮
