Welcome back to Witchy Wednesday, my friends. This week we’re turning our attention to the celestial beauty of the July Full Moon, also known as the Buck Moon. Named for the time of year when male deer begin to regrow their antlers, this moon is a powerful symbol of regeneration, strength, and transformation.

The Buck Moon rises in the heart of summer, when the days are long, the fields are heavy with growth, and the energy of the Earth pulses with vibrant life. In the Wheel of the Year, we are moving from Litha (the Summer Solstice) towards Lammas (1st August), and now is the time to take bold action, reflect on your journey, and align with your true power.

This is a potent time for manifestation magic, especially related to personal goals, inner strength, physical healing, and spiritual growth.

✨ Magical Themes of the Buck Moon

Here are some of the themes and energies you can work with under this full moon:

• Reclaiming personal power
• Strength and resilience
• Growth and transformation
• Courage to make bold decisions
• Physical and emotional renewal
• Connection with animal guides (especially deer and stag)

🌿 Full Moon Ritual Spell: Antler Moon Empowerment

This simple yet powerful ritual can be performed on the night of the Full Moon or within 24 hours either side.

You will need:

• A white or gold candle
• A small bowl of water (moon-charged if possible)
• A crystal for strength (e.g. tiger’s eye, carnelian, or clear quartz)
• A bay leaf or piece of paper and a pen
• Optional: incense (frankincense, sandalwood, or rosemary), antler or stag imagery, outdoor space

🌕 Ritual Steps:

1. Create Your Sacred Space
   Cleanse your space using incense, sound, or visualisation. Sit comfortably with your items before you.
2. Light the Candle
   Say:
   “By the light of the Buck Moon, I call in strength and transformation.”
3. Hold Your Crystal
   Close your eyes and focus on your breath. Feel the energy of the Full Moon above you. Imagine it filling your body with golden light, igniting your inner strength.
4. Write Your Intention
   On the bay leaf or paper, write a word or sentence that represents what you are calling in. For example:
   “I reclaim my power and move forward with courage.”
5. Empower the Water
   Dip your fingers in the bowl and flick a little water over your intention as you say:
   “As water nourishes the Earth, may this intention take root and grow strong.”
6. Burn or Bury Your Intention
   If safe to do so, burn the bay leaf or paper in a fireproof dish, or bury it in the earth. Visualise your intention being released to the universe.
7. Give Thanks
   Place your crystal near the candle. Say:
   “Thank you, Buck Moon, for your strength and guidance. So mote it be.”

🌕 Final Thoughts

The July Full Moon is an ideal time to reconnect with your wild self—the version of you that is confident, brave, and unafraid to shine. Let this lunar energy guide you to stand tall like the stag, proud and strong, ready to face whatever lies ahead.

Don’t forget to charge your crystals, set out moon water, and perhaps take a moonlit walk if the skies are clear. The universe is listening.

Blessed Buck Moon, witches! 🌕🦌
