🌿 Mugwort: Herb of the Dreaming Woman 🌙

Wild. Bitter. Protective. Magical.
Mugwort is one of those plants that seems to find you when you need her most.

Known as the Herb of the Wise Woman, she grows along roadsides and forgotten edges — just like the wild parts of us we’re learning to reclaim.

✨ Used for centuries to:
• Ease menstrual cramps & support womb healing
• Awaken vivid dreams and inner vision
• Cleanse energy and prepare for ritual
• Connect with the moon, the ancestors, and the divine feminine

She’s sacred to goddesses like Artemis, Hecate, and Freyja — protectors of women and walkers between worlds.

💫 Burn her, drink her, or tuck her beneath your pillow.
Just don’t forget: Mugwort is not for use in pregnancy and asks for respectful, intentional use.

🌕 Our handcrafted Mugwort smudge bundles & loose herb are now in the shop www.newmoon-botanicals.co.uk

🌙 Today, the moon is waning in Pisces…
It’s time to slow down. To let go.
To soften into stillness and reconnect with the sacred space within you.

Pisces invites rest, reflection, and dreamwork — and Nag Champa is the perfect companion.

🕯️ This deep, sweet, smoky incense has been burned for centuries in temples, rituals, and homes to:

✨ Clear emotional fog
✨ Ground anxious energy
✨ Prepare for meditation, journaling, or tarot
✨ Wrap the room in sacred stillness

The scent feels like being held — earthy sandalwood, delicate champa flower, and ancient resins that instantly shift the mood.

Always magical.

You don’t have to push through.
The body knows how to soften — if we let it.

These 5 herbs are beloved by herbalists for calming frazzled nerves, releasing tension, and reminding your body it’s safe to rest.

🌿 Work with them as teas, tinctures, baths, or bundles.

We are approaching full moon in Capricorn. The full moon affects more than just your spirit - it's also linked to cycles within you.

Research shows melatonin levels decrease during the full moon, impacting sleep, hormone balance, and nervous system function.

Emotionally, the full moon can amplify feelings of anxiety, sensitivity, and restlessness in women.

My favourite calming ritual is this Full Moon Grounding Tea:

🍵 Full Moon Grounding Tea
• Nettle - for nervous system support and strength
• Rose - to soothe heart and inflammation
• Ginger - for inner warmth and clarity

Brew a cup, take a deep breath, and reflect: what's holding you back from growth?

The UK heat has crept in — not with a blaze, but with that thick, sticky heaviness that clings to your skin and zaps your energy. 🌞

If you’ve been feeling puffy, sluggish, irritable, or just too hot to function, your body’s telling you it needs a little help regulating — and nature, as always, has the answer.

These 5 herbs are traditional summer allies — known to gently cool the body, ease emotional overwhelm, and bring down internal fire without stripping your vitality. ✨

🍃 Peppermint – This menthol-rich herb doesn’t just taste refreshing — it actually tricks the nervous system into feeling cooler. It's ideal for easing bloating, calming heat headaches, and supporting digestion on hot, sticky days.

🌺 Hibiscus – Tangy, antioxidant-rich, and vibrant in colour, hibiscus helps hydrate the body and support heart health. It’s a powerful internal cooler — perfect for iced teas or infusions.

🍋 Lemon Balm – Beloved by herbalists for easing anxiety and emotional heat, lemon balm is also a mild diaphoretic — meaning it helps the body regulate temperature gently and naturally.

🌹 Rose – Cooling, soothing, and heart-opening. Rose is both a medicine and a mood. It calms skin flare-ups, supports emotional balance, and softens the whole system when everything feels inflamed.

🌼 Chamomile – A gentle powerhouse. Anti-inflammatory, calming to both gut and mind, and a must-have if heat is making you cranky, restless, or sleep-deprived.

Whether you blend them into iced teas, foot soaks, or ritual baths — these plants are here to help you slow down, cool off, and feel a little more like yourself again.

Fluorite is formed deep within the Earth, where heat, water, and movement meet.
It begins in hydrothermal veins — channels where hot, mineral-rich water flows through cracks in stone. As the water cools, minerals crystallize into soft, glassy layers.
This is how fluorite is born: through flow, pressure, and transformation.

Its internal structure is one of perfect order — highly geometric, symmetrical, and stable.
Its colours shift from green to purple to blue to yellow, like layers of meaning or emotion — often within the same stone.

Some pieces glow under UV light, a quiet reminder:
there is light within us that only reveals itself in certain conditions.

Spiritually, fluorite reflects the way it was formed.

✨ It helps us release stagnant energy and restore flow.
✨ It offers clarity in moments of pressure or transition.
✨ It supports emotional balance and energetic boundaries.
✨ It aligns the mind and intuition — helping us think clearly and feel wisely.
✨ And like the layered mineral itself, it encourages whole-self healing — mind, body, and spirit.

Whether placed on your altar, held in meditation, or kept near your workspace, fluorite reminds us that growth doesn’t always come from stillness — sometimes, it’s the movement itself that brings us into alignment.

This New Moon in Cancer brings a rare and potent astrological moment:
The Sun, Moon, and Jupiter — all aligned in the same sign.

Cancer is the sign of emotional wisdom, home, and nourishment. Jupiter, the planet of expansion and blessings, magnifies this energy — opening a beautiful window for calling in prosperity, healing, and new beginnings that are rooted in care.

This isn’t a time for hustle. It’s a time for aligned receiving.

✨ How to Celebrate This Powerful New Moon

- Clear your space – Use smoke from incense to cleanse old energy and welcome the new.
- Work with Cancerian stones – Try moonstone for intuition, garnet for grounded abundance, or selenite to clear energy pathways.
- Sip something sacred – Our Goddess Tea supports emotional flow, self-worth, and inner magnetism.
- Light a candle with intention – Create a moment of stillness with this simple ritual below.

On June 21st, we welcome Litha, the Summer Solstice—the longest day and shortest night of the year. It's a time when the sun reaches its zenith, bathing the Earth in warmth and light. Litha invites us to celebrate growth, abundance, and the vitality of life.

✨ Ways to Celebrate Litha:
Sunrise Meditation: Begin your day by watching the sunrise. As the sun ascends, meditate on the light within you and set intentions for the season ahead.
Mabon House

Create a Sun Altar: Adorn a space with symbols of the sun—candles, sunflowers, citrus fruits, and golden crystals like citrine or sunstone. This sacred space honors the energy of Litha.
Mabon House

Gather and Dry Herbs: Harvest herbs such as St. John's Wort, lavender, and mugwort, which are at their peak potency during Litha. Use them in teas, rituals, or as decorations.

Make a Floral Crown: Craft a crown using fresh flowers and greenery. Wearing it connects you to nature's beauty and the joy of the season.

Host a Bonfire: Light a bonfire or candles to honor the sun's power. Gather with loved ones to share stories, dance, and celebrate the light.

Feast on Seasonal Foods: Prepare a meal with summer's bounty—berries, honey, fresh greens, and grilled vegetables. Sharing food is a way to give thanks for the Earth's abundance.
