The Inked Grimoire

Litha’s energy is fun, fiery, and celebratory. This sabbat is about the divine masculine, which supports confidence, motivation, and courage.

As temperatures rise and the bugs come out en masse, it’s time to turn our attention to some herbal remedies for summer. We’ve created a list of healing and magickal herbal ingredients below to help you combat bug bites, soothe sunburns, and chase the heat away, including some magickal correspondences!

By the time the Summer Solstice comes around, we’re fully in the fertile, hot time of the year (especially around IGC HQ in Arizona!). It’s also the time of abundance, joy, romance, creativity, and passion. “Solstice” comes from the Latin words for “sun standing still,” but this isn’t the time for us to remain still. Let’s put it this way: If you’ve been looking for a sign that it’s time to ignite the fires of creativity, this is it!

Moving from spring to summer is the perfect time to focus on creating a balance between the fiery energy bursts of passion and creativity, and the flowing serenity of healing and peace. These gemstones can help you bring a piece of both elements of fire and water to your altar and home to create more harmony. 

Colour correspondences are a brilliant way to connect with the myriad of magickal energies that burst to life under summer’s sunshine.

Long, hot, sultry summer days are upon us, and June is prime time to practice fire magick. Whether you’re seeking extra motivation, want to banish negativity, or just indulge your more sensual side, fire energy boosts passionate spellwork.
