The Inked Grimoire

The legend of the Phoenix hails from across the globe, but what makes this creature truly special is the magick it brings to a witch’s life. Let’s explore it more.

Get ready for some polarizing energy with this Full Moon in Scorpio! As the sister sign of Taurus, Scorpio introduces some significant conflict to the grounded Earth sign. Between the two, it’s easy to fluctuate between feeling super abundant and utterly deprived. If you feel like you’re getting caught at one end of the spectrum or the other, just remember that the truth probably lies somewhere in the middle.

Feral witchcraft is magick defined your way. It’s wild, instinctual, no-fluff, and anti-performative. It’s not about Instagram-worthy aesthetics, but about gut-level connection and unapologetic practice. Don’t get me wrong, feral witchcraft isn’t about being unhinged; it means uncolonized, unfiltered, and fucking free magick.

This New Moon in Taurus, set intentions around what nourishes you – body, mind, and spirit. Refocus on your magickal practice, too, perhaps by conducting a solitary New Moon ritual or inviting some friends to sit around the fire pit and chat about witchy things over the weekend.

Water is ancient. It whispers stories, holds memories, and flows through every living being. Our planet is 71% water, and humans have been drawn to its depths for millennia, not just for survival but for connection, mystery, and magick.

This Full Moon will illuminate opportunities for collaboration and challenges in our relationships because Libra is the sign of relationships. As with every Full Moon, though, the aspects it shines light on all come down to you, your magick, and your relationship with yourself.

Water is a powerful conduit for energy, transformation, and intention. Different types of natural waters carry unique energetic properties, making them essential tools in spellwork, rituals, and spiritual practices. Whether you’re working with the moon’s gentle glow or the fierce energy of a storm, these magickal waters can enhance your craft.

This eclipse marks the culmination of a cycle that began in April 2023, when we started the Aries-Libra Eclipse cycle, which we’re completing this month. This axis has been helping us learn what’s most important to us, as well as the balance between what we want and what our partnerships and relationships require. It’s also about recalibrating what it means to be an individual while being a part of the collective.

The Dark Moon is a potent time for transformation and release. It’s also the ideal moon phase for practicing secretive magick – spells and rituals intentionally kept hidden for your protection. Whether you’re shielding yourself from unwanted energies or working in the shadows to bring justice, secretive magick allows you to act with discretion and power.

When the moon is dark and hidden from view, just before the New Moon, it’s the perfect time for invisibility magick, return-to-sender spells, curses, hexes, banishing, and divination. This phase represents endings, rest, and deep introspection, setting the stage for personal transformation and spiritual growth.

Welcome to Eclipse Season! This month, our Full Moon in Virgo ushers in a period of transformation and introspection.
