June is one of those months that asks a lot of you if you're paying attention. There's a new moon, a major sabbat, a full moon, and a day of real historical significance all packed into about four weeks. Here's what's coming and why each date is worth your attention.

June 14 — New Moon in Gemini

New moons are traditionally the beginning of the lunar cycle, the dark phase where intentions get planted before they grow. Gemini is Mercury-ruled, which puts communication, language, and the movement of ideas at the center of this one. If there's something you've been circling around saying or writing or beginning, June 14th is a natural starting point. You don't need a full ritual — even a written intention or a quiet moment of honesty with yourself counts.

June 19 — Juneteenth

On June 19th, 1865, enslaved people in Texas received word that they were free, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. Black Americans have honored this day for over 150 years. It became a federal holiday in 2021. Today it's worth pausing, learning, and directing your energy and spending toward Black-owned businesses, artists, and creators — in this community and beyond.

June 21 — Litha

Litha is the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year and the peak of solar energy in the witch's calendar. It's a fire festival, a celebration of light and power at their height. It's also a turning point — after the solstice, the days begin to shorten again, which gives Litha a bittersweet undertone that a lot of practitioners find more interesting than the straightforward celebration. Solar magic, confidence work, visibility, and protection all sit well under Litha energy.

June 29 — Strawberry Full Moon in Capricorn

The Strawberry Moon gets its name from Indigenous Algonquin traditions marking the strawberry harvest season. In Capricorn, this full moon carries a grounded, structural energy — Capricorn is concerned with ambition, long-term building, and the kind of discipline that actually gets things done. Full moons are traditionally times for release and culmination. Under Capricorn, that might mean releasing what's blocking your progress or taking honest stock of whether your actions are aligned with your actual goals.

June gives you a lot to work with. Take what's useful and let the rest go.

May ends with a blue moon in Sagittarius, and that's worth pausing on for a moment.

A blue moon is the second full moon within a single calendar month. They occur roughly every two to three years in any given month, which is where the phrase "once in a blue moon" comes from — though historically the term had a slightly different meaning before it settled into common usage. Magically, blue moons are often treated as amplified full moons, carrying an extra charge of energy precisely because they fall outside the usual rhythm. The cycle hasn't fully reset yet, and here comes another full moon anyway. There's something inherently expansive about that.

Sagittarius is a mutable fire sign, and its full moons tend to carry a particular kind of restless clarity. This isn't the deep, still water of a Scorpio moon or the grounded patience of a Taurus moon. Sagittarius wants to move. It wants to understand. It wants to know whether the life you're living still matches who you actually are, and if it doesn't, it wants you to do something about that.

A blue moon in this sign, closing out a month that opened with Beltane and a Scorpio full moon, is asking a very specific question: what did May change in you, and are you aiming at something worthy of that change?

The ritual in this carousel is built around that question. It's not a release working and it's not a manifestation list. It's a direction-setting ritual — one clear sentence about where you're actually trying to go, written by hand, spoken out loud, and then set aside. Sagittarius energy responds to commitment and honesty more than elaborate ceremony. The ask matters more than the setup.

The shadow work prompts, tools, and affirmation in the carousel all follow the same thread. And the 6-Card Full Moon Tarot Reading in the shop is a solid place to go if you want an outside perspective on what this moon is illuminating and where your energy is ready to move.

Blue moons don't come often. It's worth being intentional with this one.

End-of-month reflection prompts tend to fall into two categories. The first kind asks you to inventory your accomplishments — what you finished, what you started, what you can check off. The second kind asks something harder and more interesting: what actually happened to you this month, underneath the surface of everything you were doing.

These three prompts are the second kind.

May's theme at Morrigan's Crows has been growth — not the motivational poster version, but the real kind. The slow, unglamorous, occasionally humbling kind that doesn't announce itself until you look back at your journal from three months ago and realize how much has quietly shifted. We spent the month talking about lifelong learning in witchcraft, the Dunning-Kruger effect in magical practice, why long-term spellwork compounds in ways that single workings usually don't, and how to layer intentional magic without smothering what's already in motion.

These prompts grew out of all of that.

The first one asks about the growth nobody else could see — because May tends to reward visible bloom, and the quieter kinds of tending can go unacknowledged even by yourself. The second one asks about impatience, which in a month focused on patience as a skill felt like a necessary counterpoint. Impatience isn't always anxiety. Sometimes it's pointing at something true about where you don't trust your own work yet. That's worth looking at directly. The third one asks about revision — the small, sometimes embarrassing moments where something you thought you understood turned out to be more complicated than that. Those moments are some of the most useful data your practice will ever give you, and they're easy to brush past if you're not watching for them.

There's no right way to use these. Write a paragraph, write a sentence, sit with the question while you drink your coffee and don't write anything at all. Learning what a question stirs up in you is its own kind of answer. All of it counts.

Beltane is the fire at the center of the year, and it has a particular quality that separates it from the other sabbats on the wheel.

Most of the sabbats ask you to reflect — on what's ending, what's beginning, what you're releasing or waiting for. Beltane doesn't ask you to wait for anything. It's the moment when the energy peaks, when what you've been quietly tending since the dark months is ready to come fully into the light, and the only real question is whether you're willing to claim it.

That's a harder question than it sounds for a lot of witches. We're good at the tending. We're good at the patience and the quiet work and the hoping. The claiming — the standing in front of what we've built and saying yes, this is mine, this is real, I'm ready to commit to it fully — that's where a lot of us stall out.

The Beltane Tarot Reading was built around that specific threshold. It's a 6-card spread pulled personally for you and written as a detailed PDF specific to where you are right now, not a general seasonal reading that could apply to anyone. Each card addresses a different layer of what this season is asking: what you're planting, what's genuinely supporting your growth, where your energy wants to go over the coming months, what's taking up space that doesn't belong in this next chapter, what abundance is actually available to you if you reach for it, and how to show up fully instead of making yourself smaller than you are. A bonus oracle card closes with an overarching message for the season.

I pull every card personally and write every reading individually. You receive photos of the cards as drawn and a full written interpretation delivered to your inbox within 72 hours of purchase.

This is for the witch who's done the quiet work and is ready to move through Beltane with intention. You don't need to have everything figured out before you order. That's what the reading is for.

Payment plans are available — two interest-free installments of $20. Find it at morriganscrows.com.
