New Moon September 28th in Libra
This new moon, consider setting intentions around nurturing, practicing, cultivating, and appreciating yourself, your talents and abilities just as they are! Libra can be caught up in appearance and assumptions of other's perceptions. But, you
are worthy regardless of recognition (we see you, working hard over there).
Take this time to devote to noticing, especially how you might be thinking about or perceive parts of yourself. No one feels amazing and confident at all times, but noticing the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves and then crafting a different narrative is a powerful practice. There are endless perspective and vantage points to view from, but you will be best served
by letting go of negative self think and talk. In noticing, try exchanging an overly critical of self thought for one of radical self compassion. Allow yourself to be gentle, empathetic, and giving of time to release these patterns -- because these patterns did not show up over night, nor will they be rerouted as easily.
In this time of noticing, let people show up for you, care for you, learn from them, and share your own gifts! New moons help us to build and grow a practice; each day working towards the full moon write a spell of self love, appreciation, or noticing.
Thank you for being AMAZING.

Bath for Calling Back Your Power
Run a bath. Recommend adding:
- Colorful magic: add a colorful bath bomb &/or light candle
- Gems: Amber/known as ‘the witch’s stone,’ Bloodstone/strength, Celestite/reclaim personal power, Tiger’s Eye/helps you to see opportunities, Lapis Lazuli/amplifies power for magick and spells, Sapphire/increases personal power
- Plants: Calendula/renews personal power, Thyme/strength and fortitude, Rose/tuning into your personal power
After you’ve run you bath and added magical allies to your liking, get into your bath and enjoy. When you’re ready, repeat the spell below, from Michelle Shea Walker,
“I forgive myself my failures. I forgive every last one of them. Past, present, & future.
I call back my power, I call it all back. That which I gave away, that which was lost, and that which was taken from me. As is, as was, as will be. I thank my guides for their protection, guidance, love and support. As is, as was, as will be.”
Close your bath by watching the water drain fully as you release your past and control to trust the intent you have set and your higher self/guides/spirit/universe to make it so.
Craft as Self Care
Crafts can be meditative, in the repetitive motions our hands weave, giving our brains a rest from all the worries and stressors of the day. Crafts lend themselves to spending time with friends for a craft night or alone while watching Netflix or listening to podcasts or music. While a finished object is nice, often the process of making and creativity are just as rejuvenating. Weaving and fiber arts can be used to weave a spell, as a tailsman to
continue working an intention, or beautiful reminder of your talent, badassness, and resilience.
Fall is the perfect time to harvest lavender or dried woody stems. Walk around your neighborhood, community garden, or ask a hedge witch friend for lavender, rosemary, yarrow, or other plants that grows abundantly in your region and has a woody stem. The project pictured will work best with dried plants. So allow your plants to dry, either hang out of direct sunlight, or allow to dry atop a fridge (heat rises & there is excess heat released from the fridge, making it a perfect spot). Making
a cardboard loom and cutting notches to fit your plant stems will help keep plants in place. Have fun with color, yarn weights, embroidery floss, or twine! If fiber arts and weaving aren't your craft of choice, you might bundle your plants and make a hanging garland on a piece of string.

Celestite
Celestite, also known as Celestine, is one of the stones you might work with to connect to your higher self and reclaim your personal power. An ally for honing in on your personal goals, shadows that might be a barrier to fully embracing your own power, and aligning yourself to the flow of universal energy. In calling your energy back and embracing your own power, Celestite helps to manifest your goals. If your goals are creative
in nature, Celestite promotes creative expression and amplifies natural abilities. Also an aide for communication and clarity of thought.
CELESTITE AFFIRMATION: My heart is pure and my aura is aligned. I am attracting gentleness, strength, and inner peace.
