★.* ☀ SUMMER WITCHY THINGS TO DO! ☀ .*★.*
Summer is around the corner! Here are some great things to do to get you into summer magic! Summer is the time of abundance and prosperity!
Make Fragrance Oils, Extracts or Waters
You can use summer flowers and herbs like honeysuckle, mint, basil, oregano, and lavender to infuse in oils, make flavor extracts with 100 proof alcohol or some like rose and honeysuckle you can simmer and make into a water that makes great flavoring to foods or a toner. Also basil soothes mosquito bites. I rub the crushed leaves over the bites and they don’t itch horribly. I looked it up to see if it was just my weird family methods or if this was a thing but it is kind of a thing. Mint too. Aloe also helps!
Nature Trips!!
Go to the beach! To the woods! To the mountains! To the lake! Collect stuff there for your craft! Make cool things into runes like seashells, fallen sticks and branches, mountain rocks or lake stones. I like Bree’s simple runes cause its simple and you can be very creative with it. Make those cool things I just said into talismans, necklaces, here’s a simple guide on how to wire wrap. Go camping in those places, bring some witchy friends! Make a bonfire (if it’s legal). Leave offerings to the fae or mermaids where ever you go, leave offerings to nature.
Use Aloe and Mint in your Bath Witchery and Beauty magic
Aloe is soothing for sunburns and moisturizes the skin while it’s not a heavy substance so you feel light. It is also very cooling. Mint cools as well but remember to dilute mint essential oil or else it will leave an icy burning feeling!! Be careful not to put it in any open crevices. Add herbs like citronella, sweet grass, catnip etc in your body oils to ward insects and Mosquitos! (The three herbs also smell super summery like camping trips and freshly mowed lawn lol.)
Witchy Friends!!! And attraction spells
A lot of witchy meet ups happen in the summer!!! July 9th is the 5th Annual Witch Festival in Astor Place Manhattan. Go to meetup.com or find ways to meet other witchy friends! I made tons of witchy friends this time of year last year! Also network! People are out and about and looking for people during the summer. Its easy to connect with people that can help you in your career! Its a great time to meet people in general so attraction spells are fantastic now.
PROSPERITY!!!!
Summer is a time of Prosperity! BOOST THE PROSPERITY SPELLS AND MONEY SPELLS you see that green all over the newly sprouted trees?? USE THAT SUMMER GREENERY AS MOTIVATION TO GET SOME GREENERY IN YO POCKETS
But seriously, this is the time of year that brings wealth for some reason. It has always been for me personally until I realized in some pagan lore this is the time of year of working hard, advancing career and gathering wealth. Maybe its because the sun is exerting the most of it’s energy on the land and it is bringing forth a lot of potential. Use that potential and energy, and people being about to bring about wealth in your life. This Summer Solstice (June 20th, next Monday) is also on a FULL MOON so that day will be a powerful day for prosperity magic!
Tend to your garden
If you are lucky to have a lovely garden make sure to tend to it as summer can dry it out easily. If you tend to it well and lovingly it will return the love during lammastide which is the time of reaping what you sow and benefiting from your hard work.
Grow Aloe Plants if you can
Having indoor plants is great as well but growing and tending to an aloe plant can be very beneficial this time of year to help the skin. It’s also fantastic to drink as it is very hydrating and great for the hair.
Make a bee fountain and sanctuary!
Bees are wonderful and are working pretty hard this time of year. Here’s how to make a little bee fountain! Here’s how to make a little bee house! (Warning for people with tropophobia. It can look quite holey..) Both are easy! Here’s a butterfly fountain too if you are interested..
Make these honeypots for unwanted insects and Mosquitos
These jars use yeast to create CO2 which attracts them but they get stuck inside. Working with yeast can be tricky. Hopefully this guide is helpful and straightforward
Make Summer Candles with Citronella and Sweet grass
Mosquitos hate that. It also smells wonderfully summery. Add fragrances like cedar oil and sandalwood to give it a summer woods and bonfire fragrance.
Enchant a glass bottle to use as your water bottle.
It’s important to use glass or stainless steel cause on incredibly hot days plastic leaks into the water. If you a bougie witch here’s a water bottle with a crystal inside. If you’re a crafty witch you could see that it’s just a glass bottle with a glass capsule inside full of crystals and you could just get a big mason jar, or recycle a voss glass water bottle, buy one of those small glass jar capsules, fill it with crystals, find a sanitary way to attach it to the lid of the jar and bam. Your own, not $100 costing crystal water bottle.
Gathering energy by sunbathing
If you love sunbathing, take a moment to absorb the sun’s rays and convert it into energy! If you love working with sigils then cut out some sigils with a piece of thick paper and stick it to your body and let the sun charge it with it’s energy. As you tan the sigil will be tattooed into your skin!
Feel free to add to this! I hope you all have fun with getting your summer magic on!
