Join us tomorrow at 7am UK time as we celebrate the rare Black Moon! This phenomenon occurs when there are two new moons in a single month or three in one season. It's a potent time for release, shadow work, and rebirth. To mark the occasion, try burning cleansing herbs like mugwort, rosemary, sage, or yarrow. Take a purifying bath, journal, create incense or infused oils, declutter, and leave offerings for the goddesses.

🌙✨ Something Beautiful is Coming… ✨🌙

I’ve been creating floral smudge sticks filled with roses, lavender, citrus, and baby’s breath 🌹🍊💜—each one crafted with intention for love, protection, and renewal.

Soon, these bundles of nature’s magic will be available to bring cleansing energy, beauty, and ritual into your home. Whether for moon ceremonies, meditation, or simply as a reminder to pause and breathe, they’re designed to help you reconnect with yourself and the cycles of nature.

✨ Stay tuned for the launch—these little blessings are almost ready to find their homes. ✨

I've got a few roses in my garden that bloomed in July, so I made rose syrup! I only use sweet-scented roses in my recipes.

Here's what I used:
- 1-1.5 cups of rose petals
- 300ml water
- 300g sugar
- 1 tbs lemon juice

I infused the rose petals in water for 24 hours, then transferred them to a pan. I heated it up, waited for it to boil, added the rest of the ingredients, and bottled it up in clean containers.

Use it in tea, pancakes, desserts, or even full moon rituals!

🌾 August is a month of gathering.

The first harvest festival, Lammas, reminds us to pause — not just to reap, but to give thanks. The Earth is full, golden, generous. And so are the hedgerows.

This is the time to gather herbs at their peak, while their energy is still lifted by the summer sun. It’s a sacred act — of preservation, protection, and preparation for the darker half of the year.

✨ Some of the herbs you can harvest now:

Calendula – for light, lymph, and glowing skin

Mugwort – for dreams, protection, and moon magic

Yarrow – for boundaries, healing, and sacred blood

Meadowsweet – for comfort, peace, and heart-soothing

Tansy – for old magic, protection, and energetic clearing

🌿 Whether you dry them for teas, tinctures, smoke bundles, or ritual baths — remember that harvesting is a dialogue with the land.

Before you cut, ask. When you gather, give thanks.

August 1st marks Lammas (or Lughnasadh) — the ancient Celtic festival of the first harvest.

It’s a time to gather what has grown — in the soil, the hedgerows, and in your own life. To bake, bless, and give thanks for the Earth’s abundance and your own becoming.

🥖 Traditionally, this was the season of baking bread from the first grain — an offering of gratitude and a symbol of community.

Today, I’ve honoured this turning by baking a blackberry banana bread, using the very first berries gathered from my garden. It’s soft, sweet, and sacred — a quiet ritual of nourishment and reflection.

✨ Ways to celebrate Lammas:

Bake something simple with love and intention (bread, oat cookies, or seasonal fruit loaf)

Create a gratitude altar with herbs, flowers, or fruit

Light a golden candle and reflect: What am I harvesting in my life right now?

Brew a herbal tea that supports your body in this transition between seasons

🌿 Try this Lammas Tea Blend:

Oatstraw – deep nourishment + nervous system calm

Calendula – lymphatic, solar, healing

Lemon balm – cooling, soothing, emotionally uplifting

Steep in hot water for 10–15 mins. Sip with awareness. Pair with something warm from the oven. Let this be your sacred pause.
Blessed Lammas Everyone 🥰

🌿 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.

🌿 Tap the link in bio to explore our Cooling Summer Collection — herbal teas, bundles, and ritual tools crafted to help you stay calm, clear and connected through the heat.

💬 Which herb is calling to you today?

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.
