As the air turns crisp and the days
grow shorter, we enter a sacred
season of gratitude. November is
a time to celebrate the gifts and
lessons the year has brought, a
moment to reflect on our growth,
and to honor the journey that has
led us here. In the magickal
community, this period is known
as the season of the harvest—a
time when we recognize the fruits
of our labor, both physically and
spiritually.

THE MAGICK OF GRATITUDE:

HONORING THE HARVEST

But gratitude is more than a moment of

thanks; it’s a powerful magickal practice.
Through gratitude, we honor the energy
of abundance, align ourselves with the
cycles of nature, and welcome more
blessings into our lives. Here’s how you
can incorporate the magick of gratitude
into your practice this season.
6 WAYS TO HONOR THE SEASON
1. Reflect on the Harvest of the Year

Before we can truly celebrate, it’s important to look

back and acknowledge what we’ve harvested. This
doesn’t just mean our material gains but also the
emotional, spiritual, and relational experiences that
have enriched our lives. Did you take a risk, set a
boundary, or learn a new skill? Perhaps you deepened
a friendship or made space for healing. These
moments are the true harvest of the year.

Practice: Try a gratitude journaling session where you

list the “harvest” of your year. Include the big wins as
well as the smaller, often overlooked moments that
contributed to your personal growth.

2. Create a Gratitude Altar

A gratitude altar is a beautiful way to honor the abundance in your life and hold space for the blessings yet to
come. Begin by choosing a dedicated space—a table, a corner of your home, or even a small shelf. Adorn
your altar with symbols of the harvest season: autumn leaves, acorns, pumpkins, apples, and grains like
wheat or corn. You might also add candles in warm colors such as orange, gold, or brown to evoke the
energy of the season.

Practice: Each day, place a small item on your altar to represent something you’re grateful for—a
photograph, a note, a crystal, or even a leaf. As you add to your altar, let it serve as a growing reminder of
the abundance you have received.

3. Connect with the Earth’s Abundance

The season of harvest connects us deeply with the Earth

and its cycles. Consider ways to honor the land and its
gifts, whether by taking a mindful walk, collecting fallen
leaves, or planting a seed with intentions for the future.

Practice: If you’re able, create a small outdoor gratitude

ritual. Bring offerings such as dried herbs, cornmeal, or
water to a natural place, and take a moment to give
thanks for the land and its abundant gifts. In doing so, you
align yourself with the Earth’s energy and open the door
for future blessings.
4. Perform a Gratitude Ritual

Incorporating gratitude into ritual practice can amplify

its energy and help us anchor it in our lives. Here’s a
simple gratitude ritual you can try on the next Full
Moon, New Moon, or any day that feels right to you.

Materials:

A candle (yellow, orange, or white)

A small offering (a piece of fruit, a coin, or herbs)
A piece of paper and pen

Steps:

1. Begin by lighting your candle and taking a few

deep breaths to center yourself.
2. On the piece of paper, write down five things you
are grateful for. This can include people,
opportunities, lessons, or simple joys.
3. Hold the offering in your hands and say aloud,
“With this offering, I honor the blessings that have
come into my life. May my gratitude be a beacon,
welcoming even more abundance to me.”
4. Place the offering on your altar, and feel the energy
of gratitude filling your heart.
5. When you are ready, extinguish the candle and
keep your gratitude list somewhere special.

5. Practice Daily Gratitude for Simple Moments

The magick of gratitude doesn’t have to be reserved for special occasions. In fact, cultivating daily
gratitude can transform your perspective and align you with a more abundant, open-hearted life.
Consider setting aside a few moments each day to reflect on something you’re thankful for, no matter
how small.

Practice: Try keeping a gratitude jar. Each day, write down one thing you’re grateful for on a small
piece of paper and place it in the jar. At the end of the month, read through them and celebrate the
moments that brought you joy, growth, and peace.
6. Gratitude and Manifestation: Embracing Abundance

Gratitude is a powerful ally in manifestation. When we express thanks for what we already have, we
send a signal to the universe that we’re ready to receive even more. Gratitude creates a frequency of
abundance, shifting our mindset from lack to fulfillment.

Practice: Combine gratitude with manifestation by visualizing your desires as already fulfilled. Give
thanks as if your dreams have already come to life, allowing the energy of gratitude to attract your
intentions.

As we move through the season of gratitude, let’s remember that every harvest, no matter how big or
small, is worthy of celebration. By practicing gratitude, we honor the journey and invite blessings yet to
come. Let this season be a reminder that abundance surrounds us, and that with each thank you
whispered, written, or felt, we amplify the magick within and around us.

May this season bless you with warmth, peace, and an overflowing heart. Blessed be!
 HERBAL ALLIES OF NOVEMBER:
MUGWORT, JUNIPER AND ROSEMARY
November ushers in a season of introspection
and magickal preparation as we settle into the
darker half of the year. During this time, certain
herbs lend themselves beautifully to both
seasonal rituals and daily practices, helping us
connect to the earth’s wisdom, deepen our
intuition, and prepare our spirit for winter’s quiet
magic. Among these herbal allies, mugwort,
juniper, and rosemary are especially potent,
each bringing unique properties that resonate
with the energy of November. Let’s explore the
magickal and practical uses of these herbs for
protection, divination, and spiritual cleansing.

Mugwort: The Herb of Dreams and Visions

Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) has long been revered

as a powerful herb for enhancing dreams,
developing intuition, and opening portals to the
spirit world. Known as the "witch’s herb," mugwort
is a common ally in divination work, often used in
teas, incense, or even placed under the pillow to
encourage vivid dreams and receive messages
from beyond.

Magickal Properties of Mugwort

Dream Work: Mugwort’s energy stimulates the

third eye, helping us connect with our
subconscious through dreams. Before bed, you
can place a small sachet of mugwort under
your pillow or create a dream tea to enhance
clarity in your dreams and gain insights from
your inner self.
Divination Aid: Mugwort is commonly burned as
an incense during scrying, tarot readings, or
other forms of divination to create a deeper,
more intuitive atmosphere.
 Protection and Cleansing: Mugwort is also protective. Hang dried sprigs near doorways to keep
unwanted energies at bay, or use it in a smudge stick with other herbs like sage or rosemary to
cleanse your space.

How to Use Mugwort

Dream Pillow: Combine mugwort with lavender, chamomile, and rose petals in a small cloth pouch to
make a dream pillow. Place it under your pillow to promote vivid, meaningful dreams.
Incense or Smudge Stick: For a cleansing smoke, bundle dried mugwort with other protective herbs,
such as rosemary or cedar, and burn to clear your space or sacred objects.

Juniper: The Protector and Purifier

Known for its ability to dispel negativity, juniper (Juniperus communis) is an evergreen that symbolizes
resilience and endurance through the colder months. Traditionally used to ward off evil, protect the home,
and purify the body and spirit, juniper’s properties are particularly suited for November, a time when many
practitioners prepare their spaces and minds for the winter season.

Magickal Properties of Juniper

Protection: Juniper is a powerful protective herb. It’s often used in wreaths, charms, or incense to
guard against negativity and invite positive energies.
Purification: Known for its purifying effects, juniper is excellent for smoke-cleansing spaces, especially
as we transition into the winter months.
Healing: In folk medicine, juniper has been used to promote physical healing and boost immunity.
Magickally, it can also be used to dispel negative emotions, offering mental clarity and emotional
protection.

How to Use Juniper

Protection Charm: Carry a small branch of juniper in a pouch or as a charm to ward off negative
energy, or place it near doorways to keep unwanted energies from entering.
Cleansing Ritual: Burn dried juniper needles as an incense, allowing the smoke to purify your space
and remove stagnant energy. For extra protection, combine it with sage or cedar.
Bath Ritual: Add a few juniper berries or a drop of juniper essential oil to a ritual bath for cleansing,
grounding, and protective energies. The scent is earthy, grounding, and protective, ideal for shedding
unwanted energies.
 Rosemary: The Herb of Remembrance and
Resilience

Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) is an ancient and

versatile herb associated with memory, protection, and
purification. Known for its warm, invigorating aroma,
rosemary has a rich history as a sacred herb. Often
associated with remembrance, rosemary is a wonderful
herb to incorporate into ancestral work, particularly as we
honor loved ones and ancestors during this reflective
season.

Magickal Properties of Rosemary

Remembrance and Memory: Rosemary is used to enhance memory and honor those who have passed.
In November, it can be especially meaningful to work with rosemary in ancestor rituals.
Purification and Cleansing: Like juniper, rosemary is a powerful cleansing herb. It’s often burned to clear
negative energies and refresh spaces.
Protection: In folk magick, rosemary is used as a protective charm or in spell work to create boundaries
and shield against harm.

How to Use Rosemary

Memory and Ancestral Ritual: For an ancestor altar, place rosemary in a vase or as part of an offering to
honor those who have come before. Burn a sprig of rosemary in their memory or add it to an ancestral
ritual.
Space Cleansing: Burn dried rosemary as incense to cleanse and uplift the energy in your space. Its
vibrant energy is especially good for areas that feel stagnant or heavy.
Infused Oil: Create a rosemary-infused oil for use in anointing candles, doors, or windowsills to protect
and bless your home.
Creating a Seasonal Ritual with November’s Herbal Allies

You can bring the magick of

mugwort, juniper, and rosemary
together in a seasonal ritual to
honor the energies of November.
Here’s a simple ritual idea to
harness their combined energies:

November Gratitude & Protection Ritual

Preparation: Gather dried mugwort, juniper berries or needles, and rosemary. Place a white or green
candle at the center of your altar to represent the light within as we approach winter’s darkness.

Circle Casting: Light the candle, visualizing a protective circle of light around you. Take a few deep
breaths and focus on your gratitude for the past year’s harvest and experiences.

Herbal Incense: In a fire-safe dish, burn a small amount of the herbs together as incense. As the smoke
rises, let it carry away any lingering negativity from your space.

Invocation of Blessings: Hold a sprig or small sachet of rosemary to your heart and silently ask for
blessings, protection, and remembrance. Thank your ancestors or guides for their presence and support.

Closing: When ready, extinguish the candle and sprinkle the ashes (if any) outside, giving them back to
the earth as an offering of gratitude.

Embracing November’s Herbal Wisdom

As you work with mugwort, juniper, and rosemary this month, let
them remind you of the resilience, protection, and intuition that
lie within. These herbs carry ancient wisdom and a deep
connection to the natural cycles, bringing their energies to help
us cleanse, protect, and honor as we prepare for winter’s quiet
magick. Embrace their gifts, and may they support you in
creating a November filled with grounding, gratitude, and spirit-
filled connection.
MAY THE SEASON’S HERBS GUIDE YOU WELL!
 FULL MOON IN TAURUS: NOVEMBER 15, 2024

The Full Moon in Taurus on November 15 shines a warm, grounding light during a time when many of us are
seeking stability. Taurus, ruled by Venus, is an Earth sign that values comfort, beauty, and a sense of
security. As the Moon reaches her fullness in this sensual sign, we are invited to slow down, honor our
senses, and take stock of what truly matters.

This particular Full Moon brings energy for creating a more rooted, stable life—one where we can appreciate
life’s pleasures while building practical foundations. It's an ideal time to focus on physical well-being,
finances, and anything that helps us feel secure and nurtured.

Themes of the Full Moon in Taurus

Grounding and Stability: Taurus energy is steady, encouraging us to assess areas in our lives that may need
more balance. This Full Moon is a reminder to slow down, prioritize self-care, and connect with the Earth to
feel grounded.

Financial Security and Abundance: Taurus governs material wealth and prosperity, making this an ideal time
to set intentions around finances. Reflect on what abundance means to you, whether that’s financial freedom,
emotional security, or both.

Sensuality and Pleasure: Taurus encourages us to delight in our senses, from enjoying good food to
experiencing beauty in all forms. This Full Moon invites you to savor the pleasures in life, connect with the
body, and indulge in self-care practices that bring comfort and joy.

Releasing Attachment: Although Taurus energy can be very determined, it also teaches us to let go of things
that may hinder our sense of peace. Use this Full Moon to release attachments, whether they’re physical
possessions, outdated beliefs, or emotional blockages, to make space for true contentment.
 RITUAL IDEAS FOR THE TAURUS FULL MOON

Here are some ritual

suggestions to help you
tap into the abundant,
grounding energy of the
Taurus Full Moon:

1. Create a Financial Intention Ritual

Taurus energy is deeply connected to financial security, making this an ideal Full Moon for financial intention-
setting.

Materials: Green candle, pen, paper, a coin or crystal (like citrine or pyrite).
Ritual: Light the green candle and set an intention for financial stability or abundance. Write down your goals
—such as saving more, clearing debts, or creating a new stream of income. Hold the coin or crystal, and
visualize your financial goals as if they have already been achieved.

2. Grounding Meditation
Connecting with the Earth can help you embody the grounded energy of Taurus.

Practice: Find a quiet place to sit comfortably. Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and imagine roots extending
from your feet into the earth, grounding you. Envision the energy of the Earth rising up through these roots,
filling you with stability and peace. Stay in this meditative state as long as you feel called to.

3. Sensual Self-Care Ritual

Indulge in a luxurious self-care ritual to honor Taurus’s love of the senses.

Ideas: Take a warm bath infused with essential oils like rose or patchouli, wear a cozy robe, and savor a
favorite food mindfully. Use this time to connect with your senses and reflect on what brings you true comfort
and joy.

4. Full Moon Release Ceremony

Let go of anything that feels heavy or stagnant, making space for grounding and stability.

Materials: White candle, piece of paper, pen, bowl of water.

Ritual: Write down anything you’d like to release—worries, limiting beliefs, attachments. Hold the paper over
the bowl of water, stating aloud what you’re releasing, then tear it into small pieces and drop it in the water.
Let it dissolve, symbolizing the release of what no longer serves you.
 TAURUS FULL MOON TAROT READING

Taurus Full Moon Tarot Reading

This spread can help you explore how to connect

with the energy of Taurus, what you may need to
release, and how to embrace a more grounded and
stable path.

What am I being called to slow down and

appreciate?

Where do I need more stability in my life?

What should I release to create a stronger

foundation?

How can I cultivate more abundance and

security?

What sensual pleasures can I embrace to

nurture my spirit?

Affirmations for the Taurus Full Moon

I am grounded, secure, and connected to the Earth’s energy.

I release anything that does not serve my sense of peace and stability.
I am worthy of abundance and welcome prosperity into my life.
I find joy in the present moment and embrace life’s simple pleasures.
I am rooted in gratitude, and my foundation is strong.

Embrace the Earthly Magick of Taurus

The Taurus Full Moon encourages us to find strength in simplicity, to ground ourselves in what truly
matters, and to embrace the joys of the physical world. As you move through this Full Moon, consider
how you can build a life that feels both stable and fulfilling. Whether it’s through self-care, financial
goals, or simply appreciating what you have, let the Taurus Full Moon be a reminder to honor the
foundations that sustain you.

Take this time to slow down, feel the Earth beneath your feet, and celebrate the blessings that surround
you. Blessed be!
 Protection jars are a classic tool in
magickal practice, combining the energy
of herbs, crystals, and intentions to
create a potent charm for shielding
against negative energy. These jars are
easy to make and can be customized
with items that resonate with your unique
intentions. Place them by your front
door, in your car, or carry a small one
with you for a powerful layer of magickal
protection.

What You’ll Need:

Basic Ingredients for a Protection Jar

You can tailor the items in your protection jar

based on personal preference, but here are
some traditional ingredients that work well for
general protection:

DIY MAGICKAL
CRAFT: HOW
TO MAKE
PROTECTION
JARS
Jar: A small glass jar with a lid, such as a mason jar or vial. Choose one that’s easy to store or carry.
Salt: Known for its protective and purifying properties, salt is essential in most protection jars.
Black Pepper: For banishing and protecting against negative energy.
Garlic Clove: This classic protector wards off harmful energies and entities.
Rosemary: Known for its strength in protection and purification.
Bay Leaf: Protects and provides clarity.
Crystals: Black tourmaline or obsidian for grounding and shielding.
Iron Nail or Pin: Representing strength and protection.
Personal Touch: Hair, a piece of jewelry, or a written intention. This personalizes the jar to your
energy.

Feel free to add other protective herbs, crystals, or charms that resonate with you—protection jars
are very versatile!
Instructions for Assembling Your Protection Jar

Cleanse Your Materials

Begin by cleansing your jar, herbs, and crystals to remove any residual energy. You can do this by
passing them through the smoke of sage or palo santo, placing them in sunlight or moonlight for a
few hours, or using a cleansing spray if desired.

Set Your Intention

Before assembling your jar, take a moment to hold your ingredients and set your intention. Focus
on protection, grounding, and safety. Visualize a strong shield surrounding you or your space,
repelling any negativity.

Layer the Ingredients

Start with a layer of salt at the bottom of the jar as your base. Salt acts as a powerful barrier
against harmful energies. Then add each ingredient one at a time. You may follow this order:

Black Pepper: Sprinkle a few peppercorns over the salt to represent strength.
Garlic Clove: Place the garlic for protection against unwanted energies.
Rosemary: Add a small sprig or some dried leaves for purification.
Bay Leaf: Add one or two bay leaves, symbolizing wisdom and clarity.
Crystal: Place a small black tourmaline or obsidian stone inside for grounding.
Iron Nail or Pin: Drop in the nail or pin to add an extra layer of defense.

Add Your Personal Touch

Adding something personal can help attune the jar to your energy, making it more powerful. Write
your intention on a small piece of paper, fold it, and place it inside. Or, add a small item connected
to you, such as a strand of hair, a favorite charm, or a piece of clothing thread.
Seal the Jar with Wax

Light a black or white candle and let some wax

drip around the lid to seal the jar. As you seal it,
visualize your intentions being locked inside,
creating a strong protective boundary.

Charge the Jar

Hold the jar in your hands, close your eyes,

and focus on your intention. Imagine a
protective white or golden light surrounding it,
filling it with energy. Speak a simple protection
affirmation, like:

“With this jar, I create a shield, strong and

true. Negative energy cannot pass through.
I am safe, I am protected, so mote it be.”

Placement Ideas for Your Protection Jar

At Home: Place the jar near the entrance of your home to create a protective boundary against negative
energy.
In Your Car: Keep a small jar in your glove compartment or under the seat for safe travels.
Carry with You: For personal protection, make a tiny version and keep it in your bag or pocket.
In Your Workspace: Keep it on your desk or in a discreet spot to shield against stress or negative
influences.

Refreshing the Energy

Over time, protection jars can absorb a lot of energy, so it’s wise to periodically recharge or refresh them.
Every few months, open the jar, sprinkle in fresh salt or herbs, and set a renewed intention. For larger jars,
you can also place them under a Full Moon to recharge.

Protection Jar Affirmations

To further empower your jar, repeat these affirmations aloud while holding it:

“I am surrounded by a shield of protection. Negative energies cannot penetrate.”

“This jar holds the power of safety and security. All who enter are purified.”
“I am grounded, I am safe, I am protected in every way.”

Protection jars are a simple, effective magickal tool that serve as a constant reminder of your power to
protect yourself and your space. They’re easy to make, versatile, and can be customized to suit your unique
needs. As you create yours, focus on your intention and the protective energy you wish to manifest—it’s your
magickal intent that brings it to life!
 BEGINNER'S
CORNER:
MAGICKAL
BASICS FOR
THE DARK
SEASON
As we enter the darker half of the year, the energy shifts from the vibrancy of summer to a
time of reflection, protection, and inner work. For beginners in magick, the dark season offers
a unique opportunity to deepen your practice, explore shadow work, and connect with the
energies of grounding and transformation. Here’s a guide to some fundamental magickal
practices and tools to help you embrace the mysteries of this season.
1. Working with Shadow Energy

The dark season encourages introspection, making it the

perfect time to explore shadow work. Shadow work is the
practice of confronting and integrating hidden aspects of
ourselves—often those we may avoid or find challenging.
By understanding and embracing our shadows, we
unlock greater personal power and self-awareness.

How to Begin Shadow Work

Journaling Prompts: Reflect on your fears, limiting

beliefs, or patterns that keep you stuck. Ask yourself,
“What part of myself am I hesitant to accept?” or “What
do I fear losing, and why?”

Meditation: Sit in a quiet place and focus on an area of

your life that feels stagnant. Allow any emotions or
insights to arise, observing them without judgment. This
is a gentle way to approach shadow work at your own
pace.
 2. Protection Magick

As the nights grow longer, protection becomes a key

focus in magick. Creating protective boundaries—whether
for yourself, your home, or loved ones—helps you
maintain peace and stability during the colder months.

Simple Protection Practices

Salt Circles: Sprinkle a line of salt around your home’s

perimeter or at doorways and windows to keep
unwanted energies at bay.
Herbal Sachets: Create a sachet filled with protective
herbs like rosemary, lavender, and sage, and place it
near your bed or door for additional protection.
Black Tourmaline or Obsidian: These stones are
known for their grounding and protective qualities.
Carry one in your pocket or place it near your door to
ward off negativity.

3. Grounding Techniques

Grounding is essential in any magickal practice, especially

as we settle into the darker season. This process connects
us to the Earth, helping us stay balanced, calm, and focused.

Ways to Ground Yourself

Earthing: Spend time outside with your bare feet on the

ground to connect directly with the Earth’s energy.
Visualization Exercise: Imagine roots extending from
your feet into the ground. Feel the Earth’s energy rise
through these roots, filling you with stability and strength.
Grounding Foods: Eating root vegetables like carrots,
potatoes, and beets can physically ground you,
supporting your connection to the Earth’s energies.
4. Candle Magick for the Dark Season

Candle magick is a simple yet powerful way to set

intentions and manifest desires. The dark season is an
ideal time for candle rituals focusing on protection, inner
peace, and transformation.

Candle Magick Basics

Black Candles for Protection and Banishing: Black

candles are perfect for releasing what no longer
serves you. Light one to dispel negative energy or to
protect your space.
White Candles for Clarity and Peace: White candles
bring purity and tranquility. Use one to center yourself
or to bring a sense of calm during turbulent times.
Green Candles for Abundance and Growth: As winter
approaches, green candles can help you attract
abundance and prosperity.

To start, cleanse your candle by running it through

smoke or anointing it with a few drops of essential
oil. As you light the candle, focus on your intention
and let the flame carry your wishes into the universe.

5. Embracing Intuitive Magick

Winter invites us inward, making it a powerful time to develop and trust our
intuition. Working with your intuition is about connecting with your inner
guidance and strengthening your ability to sense energies and receive
messages from within.

Practices to Strengthen Intuition

Daily Intuition Check-In: Start each day by closing your eyes,

taking a few deep breaths, and asking yourself, “What do I need to
know today?” Trust whatever message or feeling comes to you.
Divination Tools: Use simple divination tools like tarot cards,
runes, or a pendulum. Ask a specific question, draw a card or cast
a rune, and allow yourself to interpret its meaning without
overthinking.
Dream Journaling: Keep a journal by your bed and write down any
dreams or impressions you receive upon waking. Dreams often
reveal hidden insights and messages from the subconscious.
6. Preparing for the Winter Solstice

The Winter Solstice marks the return of the sun,

celebrating the light’s rebirth. Use this season to prepare
spiritually for the solstice, setting intentions for the coming
year and cultivating gratitude for the growth that has
occurred throughout the year.

Solstice Preparation Ideas

Reflect on the Past Year: Take time to journal about

the challenges you’ve overcome, the lessons you’ve
learned, and the growth you’ve experienced.
Release Ceremony: On a piece of paper, write down
what you wish to release as you close out the year.
Safely burn it as an offering to let go of the old and
make space for the new.
Set New Intentions: Begin thinking about what you
want to manifest in the new year. This reflective work
prepares you for setting clear, aligned intentions as
the solstice approaches.

Embrace the Dark Season’s Quiet Magick

The dark season offers a time of personal transformation, grounding, and quiet introspection. By honoring this
time with magickal basics like grounding, protection, shadow work, and intuitive development, you’ll find
yourself aligned with the natural rhythms of the Earth. As you embrace the stillness and mystery of the
season, remember that this is a time to go within, find your inner light, and nurture your own magickal power.

Blessings on your journey through the dark season! May it bring you wisdom, strength, and a deeper
connection to the magick within and around you.
