Welcome to the first Witch Appreciation Day of the year, babe. It continues to be our monthly anchor, a time to celebrate the incredible community that surrounds Seagrape Apothecary with love and support. We step into January with hearts full of gratitude and a renewed sense of purpose. Your presence makes our journey magical, and we wouldn't be here without you.

As the new year unfolds, we invite you to slow down and turn inward. January offers a unique opportunity to reflect and set intentions for the year ahead. What does your inner landscape look like? How can you nurture the seeds of growth planted in the quiet of winter?

Take a moment to check in with yourself. How are you feeling as you transition into this new season? What small acts of magic or self-care can you introduce to make this moment more nurturing and supportive? Remember, the start of the year is not just about resolutions but also about honoring rest, reflection, and the gentle unfolding of intentions.

This month, embrace the slower pace. Listen to the whispers of your heart and body. Let January be a time to explore the magic within, to connect with your inner self, and to lay the groundwork for a year filled with intention and joy.

Recommended Tools for the Start of the Year . . .

• A massage candle- recently described as a somatic way to process emotion, you might try lighting the flame and incorporating some deep breaths. Once the flame is out, breathing deeper yet into the sensation of the oil and scent while giving yourself permission to fully feel what your body is wanting to offer. 
• The Tarot Almanac book- As the sun moves through the twelve zodiac signs, these pages offer a method for reading the tarot in rhythm with the cosmos’ language of change. We will also be using this book all of 2025 for our Tarot Study Group!! 
• The Living Altar Oracle Deck: an altar of the seasons, the phases of the moon, the stations of the sun, the journey of life, and have made a holy embodiment of our most sacred relationship with the elements.

If you've had your eye on the Many Moons planner, we still have a few left, and snag the Opening the 2025 Portal: Working with a Planner for Magic and Ritual workshop recording while you're at it! 

A Library of Magical Workshops

Did you know we have a cauldron of previous workshops ready to go whenever you want them? It's true! And the discount applies to them- get that bath ready, babe, and prepare to be enchanted. These titles will be leaving next month- dive in now! 

• Hearth Magic for Turning Inward This Winter Solstice.

This workshop dives into how the hearth is more then just a living space- it's our origin story, our chosen family, our community. An excellent resource for a witch inspired by the cold season. 

• Intentional Journaling: Cultivating a Spiritual Practice. 

When your journal is an altar, you can create pages that honor where you have been and where you are going. There's a lot of emotional processing happening right now, and the pages of your journal can be a place to witness and hold you.
