Sometimes I like to think of moonlight as something you can gather in your hands, soft silver threads that slip through your fingers and leave only a shimmer behind. Of course, we cannot catch the moon itself, but we can gather her essence in small ways, the way our ancestors once left bowls of water out under her glow.
This bottle on my shelf is more than water. It carries a moment in time, a full moon rising, the air charged with Lion’s Gate energy, a night when the veil between vision and possibility felt thinner than usual. I remember setting it out, candles flickering on the windowsill, whispering my intentions into the night air, trusting the moon to listen.
Today is the last day of summer, and it feels fitting to lean into that energy. The Lion’s Gate reminds us of courage, of stepping forward, of walking boldly into what comes next. Just as the season shifts, so do we. The warmth of summer slips away, yet it leaves us with light to carry into the darker months.
When I mist this ritual water over my altar or across my shoulders, it feels like a reset. A reminder that I am allowed to pause, to soften, to begin again. Some days I spray it in my room when the energy feels heavy, and the air shifts, just enough to remind me that light always finds a way back in.
It is not complicated. It is simple, really. Moonlight in a bottle, a little piece of wonder to carry you through the everyday, and a blessing to close out the summer season. 🌙✨
I’ve saved a little moonlight for you, whenever you’re ready to come by The Craft and bring it home to your own apothecary.
