Whether you’re new to moon magic or have been riding the moon’s cycles for years, the Strawberry Moon offers a magical opportunity to harvest your intentions and enjoy the fruits of your labor.
What is the Strawberry Moon?
The Strawberry Moon is the full moon of June and gets its name from the Algonquin tribes who used it to mark the time when strawberries were ripe for picking. This moon represents abundance, harvest, and culmination—it’s a celebration of growth and all the hard work that’s beginning to pay off.
In a magical sense, the Strawberry Moon is a time for reflection and reward, as well as focusing on relationships, passion, and nurturing your connections with others. It’s about savoring the sweetness of life, acknowledging how far you’ve come, and continuing to nurture what’s still blossoming.
Why is the Strawberry Moon Witchy?
The Strawberry Moon holds a special place in witchcraft because of its connection to abundance, love, and gratitude. Here’s why this moon is perfect for witches looking to channel its sweet magic:
1. Abundance Magic: The Strawberry Moon is a time to work with abundance spells—whether you’re calling in financial prosperity, love, health, or personal growth. Just like the strawberries that ripen under the summer sun, your efforts are ready to bear fruit.
2. Gratitude and Reflection: It’s also a moon of gratitude. This is a great time to reflect on your journey, celebrate your successes, and give thanks for the magic and growth in your life. Practicing gratitude can amplify your future intentions and attract even more abundance.
3. Love and Relationship Magic: The sweetness of strawberries is often linked to love magic, making this moon ideal for deepening relationships, attracting new love, or nurturing self-love. The energy is ripe for spells that focus on passion, romance, and harmony in relationships.
4. Culmination of Intentions: If you’ve been working on long-term goals or intentions, the Strawberry Moon is a powerful time to see those come to fruition. It’s a perfect moment to check in on your progress and make any necessary adjustments as you move forward.
Witchy Things to Do During the Strawberry Moon
The Strawberry Moon is all about celebrating abundance, savoring sweetness, and reflecting on your magical journey. Here are some witchy activities you can try during this full moon, whether you’re a beginner or an experienced practitioner.
1. Harvest Your Intentions
The Strawberry Moon is all about harvesting—and that applies to both your physical and magical work. Take some time to reflect on the intentions you’ve set earlier in the year. Have they begun to bear fruit? What steps have you taken to make them a reality?
– Gratitude Ritual: Create a simple gratitude ritual by lighting a pink or red candle and writing down everything you’re thankful for. Read your list aloud under the moon, thanking the universe (or your deities) for the abundance in your life.
– If there are areas where you feel blocked or haven’t seen progress, this is a great time to reevaluate and adjust your goals. Write these down too and let them be the seeds for your next magical cycle.
2. Strawberry Magic Spell for Love and Sweetness
Strawberries have long been associated with love magic, passion, and sweetness. Here’s a simple spell to attract love or deepen your relationships during the Strawberry Moon:
– Gather a small bowl of fresh strawberries, a red or pink candle, and rose petals.
– As you light the candle, focus on your intention, whether it’s to bring more love into your life or enhance an existing relationship. You can also use this time for self-love.
– Eat the strawberries slowly, savoring each bite as you visualize love, passion, and sweetness filling your life.
– When you’re finished, scatter the rose petals around your candle as an offering and allow the candle to burn down completely.
3. Full Moon Tea Party with Friends
The Strawberry Moon’s focus on abundance and celebration makes it a great time for a full moon tea party. Gather your witchy friends, or enjoy some solo magic, and create a moonlit feast with strawberry-themed treats.
– Make a batch of strawberry tea or strawberry-infused water to enjoy under the moonlight. Add mint or basil to enhance the magical properties of the drink.
– As you sip, take turns sharing what each person has manifested or accomplished in the first half of the year. Toast to each other’s successes, and set new intentions for the second half of the year.
– For a solo ritual, brew your tea and journal about what you’re grateful for and what you hope to manifest next. Let the moon’s energy inspire you.
4. Strawberry Moon Manifestation Jar
A manifestation jar is a beautiful way to capture the energy of the Strawberry Moon and keep it working for you long after the full moon has passed.
– Fill a small jar with dried strawberry leaves (or fresh if you prefer), rose petals, and a citrine crystal (for abundance).
– On a piece of paper, write down an intention you’d like to manifest—whether it’s related to love, prosperity, or personal growth. Fold it up and place it in the jar.
– Seal the jar with red or pink wax and hold it under the full moonlight to charge it with lunar energy. Keep the jar on your altar or carry it with you to remind you of your intention throughout the month.
5. Dance and Celebrate Under the Moon
Sometimes the best way to honor the full moon’s energy is through celebration! The Strawberry Moon is all about joy and abundance, so don’t be afraid to get playful with your witchcraft.
– Put on your favorite music and dance under the moonlight. Let the movement of your body reflect the abundant energy of the season. You can even invite friends for a moonlit dance party.
– As you dance, visualize yourself celebrating your successes, no matter how big or small. Let the Strawberry Moon’s energy flow through you and energize your spirit.
6. Make Strawberry Moon Water
Moon water is always a great addition to your magical toolkit, and the Strawberry Moon provides a special opportunity to create water infused with love, abundance, and sweetness.
– Leave a jar or bowl of spring water under the full moon overnight, placing fresh strawberries or strawberry leaves inside to enhance the magic.
– In the morning, strain out the strawberries and bottle the moon water. Use it in love spells, to anoint your tools, or even in your bath for a magical soak.
– This moon water is especially potent for spells related to self-love, relationships, and manifesting abundance.
Savor the Sweetness of the Strawberry Moon
The Strawberry Moon is a celebration of all the sweetness, abundance, and growth life has to offer. Whether you’re performing love spells, dancing under the moon, or simply reflecting on your journey, this full moon invites you to savor the fruits of your labor and celebrate the magic that’s blossoming in your life.
Embrace the energy of the Strawberry Moon with open arms, and let its juicy magic nourish your soul. Until next time – stay safe, stay magical, and as always, have the day you deserve.
