Is July this year a bad time to do spell work and what would be best the best dates for the rest of the year to do so? I saw your calendar for the year and I really appreciated it but I also want to make sure I’m not doing any rituals at a time that wouldn’t be good to do so. Any help would be appreciated, thanks! 🕊️
The month of July is fine for spellwork, just like every other month. There's not really such a thing as a "bad time" to cast spells, at least as it applies to the calendar and the seasons. There are times which can be more advantageous to a particular purpose if you choose to employ magical timing as part of your spell, but you don't really have to wait for any particular date to do magic.
The only occasion when a spell fails due to bad timing is when practical conditions are such that the possibility of the desired result occurring is slim to none. You can cast a spell for a snowstorm in high summer in Texas, nothing's stopping you, but it's not likely to happen.
If you'd like some ideas, I've got a couple of posts floating around about the summer moons, Midsummer, and Lughnasadh that have suggestions for magical activities and thought exercises you can try.
Other than that, work your spells when you have the time and the need for them. Generally speaking, full moons are great for making things happen, new moons are great for banishing and starting over, waxing moons are great for increase, waning moons are great for lessening. And if you miss an advantageous day, just wait for another one, or spin your purpose so it lines up.
For example, oh no you missed the full moon you wanted to use for that success spell. So instead of This Spell Will Bring Me What I Want you might use for a full moon, try This Spell Will Remove The Obstacles To My Desired Result to match the waning portion of the cycle. And that's IF you choose to use magical timing at all. It's not a requirement and plenty of spells don't use it.
Remember, witchling - The most important part of the spell isn't the components or the tools or the timing - it's YOU. It's your aims, it's your energy, it's your will to make things happen. If you've got that conviction strong and steady in your heart, you can make magic with anything.
Hope this helps!
